Good exhibit design is an important cornerstone of having a successful trade show presence, but it’s also important to consider other elements, such as free items that you’ll be giving away. “Swag,” as it is affectionately called, is an important part of the trade show experience, and in some cases, can even go viral on social media if it is particularly original or stands out in some other way.

However, even if you don’t get lucky with having viral giveaway items, these can play an important role in how people remember you and your business after a trade show. Here are a few items to consider for your giveaway plans.

Hand Sanitizers

The pandemic heightened awareness of contagion, and even today, people are more aware of the possibility of getting sick when attending trade shows or conventions. Because of this, hand sanitizers have become an important part of the trade show or convention experience for many, as this item can sometimes mean the difference between coming home healthy and coming home sick.

Providing free hand sanitizer is another useful giveaway item that will get used often during a trade show, so this is a good opportunity to promote yourself.

Power Banks

People now rely on personal electronic devices for nearly everything, which means these devices—like phones and tablets—consume a significant amount of energy. It’s not always possible to be near an electrical outlet or have a spare battery to swap out, so power banks are an incredibly useful tool.

If you’re willing to invest in power banks as a giveaway, this is one device that is guaranteed to get usage during a busy trade show, as people get low on battery charge and need a quick way to stay up and running.

Confectionary

Many people have a sweet tooth, and even those who don’t are unlikely to refuse candy or chocolate when offered free of charge. If you want to make a memorable impression, then having chocolate or candy as a giveaway item is a great way to attract passersby on the trade show floor.

Ensure that you pay careful attention to the design on the wrapping, and make sure to remind visitors that the free confectionery is available periodically. This is one piece of swag that is likely to sell itself and attract a crowd once the word gets out.
