It is amazing just how a little toy can get grown adults interested in your stand. Actually, stress balls are much more than little toys. They are one of the most popular low cost business gifts in the western world. There are hundreds of different shapes to choose from. Some suppliers can even manufacture made to order stress toys in the shape of one of your products with excellent results.
This is interesting as there are really very few promotional items that can be manufactured to order. The most popular promotional products such as pens, mugs, badges and clothing are all manufactured in bulk. It is rarely possible to change this design or that design unless you purchase thousands and then it is so expensive it does not warrant the additional costs. Do you have any products that would look good as a stress ball? If so, you are not alone. Thousands of companies order made to order stress balls shapes for their exhibition stands every year.
Whatever industry you are in, there should be a few off the shelf shapes that will suffice. This is of course the fastest option. Some of the most popular stress ball shapes are those in transportation shapes such as cars and planes, medical & pharmaceutical shapes, and industry related shapes. A simple search on your search engine of choice for stress balls will bring back a plethora of ideas.
Once you have chosen your shape, you need to decide what to print on them. I advise my customers to choose shapes that offer print areas that can be printed well with their design. Some shapes do not allow enough space to get your message across easily. The most popular shape, for example, the 70mm round ball has a print are of 35mm diameter. If you print a standard size web address across that area it will not show up very well. It would look much better to do a circular design which will allow the characters to print larger. You business gift supplier should be able to assist you with this.
There are different ways of handing the finished stress balls out on your stand. If you are on a limited budget, you may want to keep them in an area where they are not easily grabbed so that you can monitor who you hand them out to along with your company literature to qualified prospective customers. If on the other hand you have a large budget or you are in the lucky position where the majority of visitors are prospective clients, the stress balls can be used to decorate your stand. This looks great and it will attract more people to your stand to get their free stress ball. Nothing in life is free, however. Before you allow them to grab and dash, you should try to speak to them first and get their details so that you can do the proper follow up after the event. Studies have shown that doing this will get you a much better return from your promotional gifts budget.
Now I would like to invite you to visit my promotional gifts website. The site is packed with a large range of promotional stress balls that can be printed with your logo and details.
