We plan your stand and fair giveaways on one fair calendar

If we are also preparing your exhibition stand, we plan the giveaways on the same schedule and in the same language as the stand graphics, and deliver them to the venue in time for build-up day.

Questions asked before we start

What determines the price?

The product and quantity, print method and number of colours, kit and packaging needs, storage period and number of delivery addresses. After the brief meeting we give an itemised written quote.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the product and print method; we share minimum quantities with our product and kit proposal.

When should we order for year end?

We start the year-end programme in September; in the brief meeting we share the last order date in writing, together with sample, production and packing times. Exhibition kits are planned back from the fair date.

Can we see a sample before production?

For every product that allows a sample or print proof, we send it for your approval before production.

Can you store the kits and send them to different addresses?

Yes. We store the kits, send them separately to each customer, dealer or employee on your address list, and deliver exhibition kits to the venue for build-up day.

What do you offer on sustainable materials and product safety?

We propose products made from recycled materials, FSC-certified paper and long-lasting items. For products going to recipients in Europe, we obtain product safety documentation from the supplier and share it with the quote.

Tell us what you want to do and we will prepare the plan and quote to match

Send us the period, the distribution list and rough quantities, and we will prepare a product proposal from there.

Promotional products: which product should an industrial company choose, and when?

Promotional products carry your brand onto a customer’s desk and out on site, and keep the relationship going through the year. The right product is the one that is actually used on a customer’s desk or on site.

A product that is used is a product that is remembered

A promotional product earns its value by staying on the desk, not in a drawer. In industrial companies, purchasing and engineering teams use a calendar, a diary and a good pen all year, while a bag handed out at a fair carries the catalogues home. Thinking about who will use the product, where and for how long before choosing it keeps the budget from being wasted.

How to work out quantities

Quantities start from the distribution list: customers and dealers, the expected number of visitors at the fair, your own team, and a reserve for new contacts during the year. Each group can also get a different product, such as a set for key customers and a small gift for fair visitors. Drawing up the list first reduces the risk of running short or leaving stock in a store room.

Fair giveaways should match the stand

Giveaways handed out at a fair should look like part of the stand. Bags, pens or small gifts in the same colours and language as the stand graphics make it easier for visitors to remember the stand. How they are handed out matters too: a pen for everyone and a set given after a meeting do different jobs.

Exhibition and stand services

The print method follows the product

Not every product takes every kind of print. Laser marking on a metal pen, screen printing on a textile bag, embossing or hot-foil on a diary cover: the technique is chosen by the product’s material. Because logo, colour and placement behave differently in each technique, approving a print proof before production matters.

Promotional products extend your corporate identity

When the calendar, business card, catalogue and stand carry the same identity, promotional products become part of that whole. If corporate colours and typefaces are not yet defined, settling the identity rules first gives a consistent look across every product group.
