Most of the things companies give away do not last long. A pen will run out of ink by the middle of the week. A tote bag will tear before you even get to use it. Companies spend a lot of money on things that people will just smile at and then throw away. When companies give away things that are really useful people will keep them for a long time. On their desks in their bags or in their kitchen drawers. Find this!

Think about the things that annoy you at work. Things that make your day a little easier are really great. For example a notebook with pages that will not get ruined if you spill coffee on it. A mouse pad that will not slip around on your desk. A phone stand that will hold your phone steady during a call. These things do not need to be fancy they just need to work. That is enough.

Clothes are important too. If the fabric is rough or scratchy people will not want to wear it. Comfort is the important thing. A good hoodie, a jacket or a soft t-shirt in a plain color. These are things that people will actually wear. Do not use many colors or fancy designs. People do not want to look like they are wearing a billboard.

Things that work with technology are also great. A wireless charging pad is really useful in the morning. A USB hub can help keep your desk organized. A small cover for your webcam can give you some privacy. These things are useful. People will notice if they are good quality. If something breaks after a few weeks it is not doing what you wanted it to do.

Food is a way to get people to like your brand. Coffee, nice chocolate and healthy snacks. These are things that people will really like. Something to eat can make people feel connected to your brand away. The important thing is to make sure it is good quality. If the food is bad people will remember it. Not in a good way.

Things that help people relax and feel good are also great. A water bottle that does not leak an eye mask for sleeping or a roller to help with stress. These things show that you care about people. People will remember that you care about them.

Giving people things at the time can make a big difference. If you give them sunscreen and sunglasses before summer it will be really useful. If you give them clothes just when it is starting to get cold it will be really appreciated. A gift that is given at the time feels personal. If you give it at the time it just feels like you are trying to get rid of something.
