Best Tech Gifts for Holiday Gifting on a Budget

Holiday shopping tends to be a stressful activity, so when you have to shop for your corporate clients on top of your personal shopping list, you might really be feeling the holiday pain.

Well, good news for you is that Newport Promotions is here to ease the pressure, at least when it comes to your gift shopping for VIP clients or employees. I’ve put together this list of tech gifts that anyone will find useful, and they won’t break the bank. The cost of these items range from $2 - $19. Win, win!

Mobile Phone Car Mount

Being your own navigator is tough, but this mobile phone car mount is making being hands-free that much easier. With our mobile car mount that directly clips on to the car’s air vents you can easily keep your phone or other mobile device within view for glancing at the navigation screen. It’s also a great way to keep your phone from slipping off your lap during those quick conference calls clients on the go are always taking. With imprint space on the side clip, the gift recipient will see your company logo every time they glance at their phone.

 

Cell Phone MobiGrip

Anyone with a smartphone (so essentially, everyone) will love this gift! Think of the MobiGrip as the safety belt for high-tech toys that keeps anyone from saying “I dropped my phone” when asked how their screen shattered in to a million little pieces. The way MobiGrip works is it sticks directly to the back of your phone and the bungee wraps around your finger to secure the phone to your hand. Easy, effective and budget-friendly. This item has a nice space for your logo and is under $2!

USB Charging Hub

There are two things every professional never has enough of: time and power outlets! With the USB charging hub you can solve both of those shortages since this hub can supply power to four devices at once. The other thing that makes this budget-friendly gift a winner? Long gone is the huge chaotic mess of power cords! That alone will make your clients love you.

Stereo Headphones

If you’re looking for a gift that’s a little more high-end without completely busting your budget, these stereo headphones could be the perfect fit. With a light-weight and cushioned headband with soft ear cups and compact tri-fold design, these headphones are ideal for comfortable plane travel or music listening while at work. Your logo prints across the headband.

These aren’t the only budget-friendly gifts you can choose from, there’s plenty more to browse through, so check out some other posts you may like below.

With the holidays fast approaching, it’s never to soon to start getting ideas for what to give your top clients before the end of the year. And if there’s any advice I can give with holiday gifts that are sure to impress, it’s that it is hard to go wrong with high-tech.

Now, I know that if you’re going to spend a larger chunk of the budget on a nice corporate gift, you want it to hit a few main points including nice packaging, usefulness and the perfect branded touch. Lucky for you, Newport Promotions has quite a few gifts for tech lovers that fit the bill.

Here’s my round-up of favorite tech-oriented holiday gifts for corporate clients:

Smart Touch Gloves

Your clients won’t have any problem staying connected in the cold with these smart touch gloves! Unlike other smart touch gloves that don’t adequately keep your fingers warm, or are more glitchy than they are helpful, these gloves feature a soft, stretchy interior and silicone grip on palm and fingers, as well as have conductive metallic threads on both the index finger and thumb to aid in the pinpoint performance of the glove. You clients will love still being able to text or take photos with their smart phones when they are out in the cold.

Portable Boom Speaker

Whether your clients are partying people, or they need their video to be heard in a crowded conference room during a presentation, our portable boom speaker is perfect for turning up the volume! Not only does this speaker easily stick to any smooth or flat surface, it also has a suction mechanism to safely hold the mobile phone or tablet. too.

Car Charger Gift Set

For corporate clients who are constantly traveling, attending trade shows, conferences and other events that keep them busy all day long, they’ll love you for giving them this car charger gift set. They will never be without battery power again! The car charger has dual ports and a LED ring that helps illuminate your imprinted logo area in the dark. The best part about this gift is it isn’t just for charging in your car, you can also charge up the emergency mobile device battery/charger that stores power. Then when you are away from the car, you can access the stored battery life to power up your device anywhere.

 

Bluetooth Fitness Watch

You know everyone’s going to start working on their fitness goals as soon as the holidays are over, so why not give them a leg up with a sleek Bluetooth fitness watch? Not only does this make for a thoughtful client gift, but it’s also a fabulous Holiday gift to give to your own team members as a way to promote health and wellness in the workplace! All the user needs to do is simply download the free "BodySensor" app to track daily steps, calories, sleep, and much more. The watch comes in 5 different colors and you can imprint your logo on the band. 

 

The Harmony Speaker

If you love the idea of the speaker, but want something a tad more compact than the Boom Speaker mentioned above, the Harmony Speaker is what you’re looking for. Perfect for car travelers, the Harmony Speaker is compatible with most cellphones and mp3 players and doesn’t require a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. It also comes with a mini car charger and a silicone phone and tablet stand. It offers a nice large imprint area for your brand or marketing message.

4-in-1 Charging Buddy

You already know how difficult it can be to keep your phone charged while on the go, but imagine if you had a phone, tablet, camera and computer. That’s a lot to keep charged! This 4-in-1 charging buddy saves time and space, which are both valuable commodities for any of your clients, which is why this is a great gift to give during the hectic holiday season.

This stainless steel cocktail gift set includes a cocktail shaker, strainer, stirrer, ice tongs, and a shot glass, which all rest in a beautiful bamboo stand that looks great in any environment and ready for any impromptu moments that call for a toast.

 

Bamboo Desktop Calendar

For corporate clients who have a welcoming front desk or waiting room, gift them this bamboo desktop calendar so guests will never have to ask what date or day it is.

The best part about this sophisticated gift is that it looks anything but budget-friendly, even though it is!

 

Bamboo Cheese Server Set

Give them something gorgeous to serve their favorite cheese varieties on with our cheese server set, which includes a stainless steel cheese knife, cracker dish and eco-friendly bamboo cutting board. Gift alongside a cheese sampler and a nice bottle of wine and you’ll shoot to super star status in your client’s eyes.

Bamboo Cutting Board

If you want a gift that’s slightly more general than a cheese serving set, but still caters to your foodie clients, this bamboo cutting board is the ideal gift to bring to the table. This is also a great piece to bring to wine and cheese events, bar/liquor promotions, or real estate promotion for your own company. (This is a great gift for real estate agents to give their clients after they move into their new home.)

Bring an earthy feel to a tech-heavy office space with our bamboo tech holder that conveniently fits a variety of iPads, tablets and smartphones. This tech holder keeps your device at the perfect angle for working, gaming and viewing, and it makes for a great employee gift, incentive, or corporate gift.

How to Incorporate Personalization So Your Branded Promotional Products Stand Out

Get “Set” for Promotional Success

Here’s What To Expect When You Work with Newport Promotions

3 Ways to Choose a Branded Promotional Product People Will Love

There’s a reason branded promotional items are one of the go-to marketing pieces for trade shows, conferences, and other large corporate events. It’s because everyone loves a freebie, right? But just because sought-after promotional products are an easy way to get attention, it doesn’t mean finding the right branded promotional items to market your business is easy. What is the right product that will support your brand well and that people really want to use?

We’ve all seen promotional giveaway items that are uninteresting and are more of a nuisance since “not only do I have to carry this around all day with the rest of my stuff, but then I feel bad about tossing it in the trash when I get home.”

You don’t want to spend all that money on a promotional product just to find out that people throw them away further down the trade show floor. To avoid making any mistakes, here are my top 3 tips for choosing a winning promotional item for your next big event.

Think About Your Audience

Yes, everyone likes free stuff, but in today’s world of marketing, free stuff has become the norm for generating leads. So, because giveaways at trade shows, conferences, and events have become such a mainstay, it takes more creativity to get someone to truly say, “Hey, I want that!”

That means that throwaway, trick-or-treat type of giveaway items just don’t make the cut. You have to think about your audience and what kind of items they find useful, fun, and worthy of holding on to.

Take a deep look in to your ideal customer, and then think of the things they may use while at work and at home. Do they travel a lot? Do many of them work in home offices? What would they keep on their desk? What do they do for fun? Do they have kids?

All of these factors play in to finding a promotional item that your ideal audience will find intriguing instead of unworthy of taking up space in their bag.

Don’t Cheap Out

One thing you might find while searching for a great, useful, and relevant promotional item for your audience is that with quality comes cost.

Yes, more value means more money, but in the long run, these are items you’re using to generate leads, so you need to make sure it’s something that actually…generates a lead.

Don’t be afraid to invest more in a quality product. The ROI will be worth it, because when you spend your marketing budget on cheap and uninteresting promotional items for your audience, you’ve actually thrown money away since those items won’t be bringing you any return. To protect your investment, don't give the promotional product to just anyone who walks in your trade show booth. Make them earn a higher quality item by leaving your their business card, filling out a survey, or winning it in a raffle.

Don’t go for cheap, go for quality, and see the pay off.

Get Your Numbers Right

You might still be concerned about cost, but here’s another thing to keep in mind: don’t overbuy.

Almost every marketing manager or event buyer has experienced the mass surplus of items after wrapping up an event at one point or another, and that just means you didn’t get your numbers right.

When determining how many items to buy, take in to consideration that you may not be coming into contact with every person who will be attending an event. Many people purchase the same number of items as people in-attendance, plus some “just in case” extras, and that’s just a waste of your budget.

Take a close look at past events that were similar in attendance, or start tracking how many people come to your event this year so you have a clearer picture the next time you participate in the event. If you are afraid of underbuying, don't worry about it. If you run out of your promotional item, just collect business cards from the people who are really interested in your product or service and mail it to them later with some product brochures or have your local salesperson hand deliver the item and use it as a chance to tell your brand story.

Keep these three things in mind and I know you’ll have a winning promotional product strategy that gains your audience’s attention, grabs leads, and fits your budget. If you need more help with any of those aspects, please give me a call at 847-398-5500 or shoot me an email at dona.blunt@newportpros.com. I’d be happy to guide you to the perfect items for your audience!

Our Best-Selling Trade Show Giveaways

Choosing items to giveaway at your next trade show event can be overwhelming just with the sheer number of choices available. After all, at Newport Promotions we have over a thousand products to fit every kind of themed event and type of audience. 

Then consider that you have to factor in your budget, what your audience would like or find useful, and how many items you need. This might put you at a complete loss for what giveaway items to select.

Through years of experience, I’ve found that the best-selling and most-popular branded promotional items and trade show giveaways aren’t always the grandest or most expensive, they’re the items attendees will get the most use out of. 

Here are some of our best-selling items to consider for your next trade show or event. You can’t go wrong with any of these great items: 

Best-Selling Cotton Tote

Between brochures, giveaway items, water bottles and wallets, trade show and event attendees need an easy and non-cumbersome way to haul it all around. Help them out and give them a tote bag.

Our best-selling tote not only provides a huge space for displaying your brand, but it’s also eco-friendly since your attendees are sure to use it time and time again.

Double-Ended Lanyards

Give your trade show booth visitors a way to represent your brand all day long with our double-ended lanyards that have two separate attachments. 

This is the perfect giveaway for any event that requires wearing a badge or holding on to other items such as meal tickets, breakout session tickets, etc. Attendees can keep everything right within reach at an affordable cost for you. 

Custom Trail Mix

Hey, everyone’s got to eat, and unfortunately snacks can be hard to find at many trade show and conference venues. Rather than resorting to overpriced snacks at the closest hotel or venue gift shop, give attendees the energy they need right when they need it. 

With our choices of trail mix, salted peanuts, gummy bears, chocolate covered raisins, jelly beans, and more, there are plenty of options for keeping attendees satiated. 

Unique Refreshing Towel

After your attendees eat their snack, make sure they have a quick and easy clean up! 

Our unique, branded refreshing towels are ideal for trade shows and conferences where lots of hands are being shook and people are touching the same door handles, etc. Give your attendees the peace of mind that they can clean their hands, if a washroom isn’t in sight. 

Portable Battery Charger 

Solve one of the most common problems at trade shows and conferences - providing power! 

It never fails, at every big event you’ll always find attendees sitting on the floor by an outlet looking to boost their battery for another couple hours. And if they’re not sitting by an outlet, they’re looking for one!

Our portable battery charger is budget-friendly and the best way to ensure your attendee’s phones stay charged so they can tweet out praise about your booth or presentation. 

If you’re really looking to wow your conference or trade show attendees, we love the idea of bundling all these best-sellers together for the ultimate welcome and hospitality package. These items are guaranteed to get love from attendees at your booth.

If you would like more help in choosing the best branded promotional items and giveaways for your next trade show or event, give me a call at 847-398-5500 or shoot me an email at dona.blunt@newportpros.com. I’d be happy to guide you to the perfect items for your audience!
