Trade Show promotional materials | Advance Supplies

Trade shows and networking events are prime locations for reaching new and potential customers, clients and partners. However, it does come with a lot of competition - all within a close proximity. So, how can you stand out from the crowd? With high-quality, custom promotional products. These include items such as branded pull-up banners, custom goodie bags and personalised freebies. 

At Advance Supplies, we offer a wide range of custom promotional products and branded services that can help you stand out. Read on to find out more about how we can help you and why your business needs these items at your next trade show or networking event.

 

1. Branded Tote Bags

Trade shows often mean collecting brochures, samples and freebies. A branded tote bag is not only useful for attendees, but it turns them into walking advertisements for your business as they move around the venue. Opt for sturdy, reusable bags with a bold, eye-catching design.


2. Custom Pens

A classic for a reason - pens are affordable, easy to distribute and always useful. Go for good quality pens that write smoothly; they’ll be kept and used far more than cheaper alternatives.


3. Promotional Flyers & Leaflets 

Flyers and leaflets are a cost-effective way to share key information about your services, promotions or contact details. When designed well, they’re quick to read, easy to take away and a powerful tool for reinforcing your brand message. 

Quick Tip: Remember to add QR codes to your flyers, as these are a quick and simple way to get more traffic to your website.


4. Reusable Water Bottles

Sustainable and practical, branded water bottles are perfect for attendees who will be on their feet all day. With your logo prominently displayed, they keep your brand visible in meeting rooms, offices and even gyms long after the event.


5. Branded Workwear or Apparel

Your team is the face of your business at trade shows. Branded t-shirts, polo shirts or jackets create a cohesive, professional look and ensure staff are instantly recognisable.

For giveaways, consider branded caps, beanies or other wearable items that attendees will actually use. This extends your brand visibility beyond the event and builds a positive, lasting impression.


6. Notebooks and Notepads

Many attendees like to jot down notes during talks or meetings. Offering a branded notebook ensures your business is front of mind whenever they refer back to their notes.


7. Pull-Up Banners and Table Displays

Not something you give away, but an essential part of your setup. A professional display will attract attendees to your stand in the first place, making your promotional giveaways more effective and allowing you to be more competitive.


8. Custom Business Cards

A good business card isn’t just contact information – it’s a physical reminder of your brand. We can design premium, custom business cards with unique finishes, enabling you to build your network and build more awareness affordably.


9. Tech Accessories

Phone stands, USB drives, webcam covers and charging cables are always in demand. Pairing practical tech items with your branding is a smart way to ensure people remember you.


10. Custom Lanyards

Perfect for holding name badges or passes, lanyards are constantly visible and are kept long after events for future use.


Tips for Choosing the Right Promotional Products

  • Know your audience - What will they actually use?
  • Focus on quality - Cheap items often get thrown away.
  • Make it relevant - Align the product with your brand and message.
  • Think about portability - Attendees will avoid bulky items they can’t carry easily.
