Event planning is a big job and sometimes it’s the simple tasks that end up being the most time consuming. Trying to come up with an event keepsake that everyone will love can be stressful, especially when considering that this small marketing piece has the potential (or not) to entice return visits year after year. What’s great about using a keepsake such as promotional water bottles or personalized coffee mugs is that they are everyday items that are easy for just about anyone to keep handy all year round.
Memorable keepsakes
Ironically, personalized coffee mugs are memorable because they’re so common. There are, of course, much more unique promotional items that people may look at as a novelty or a curiosity while they’re attending an event. However, if the item is not something that’s functional to their everyday life, chances are that it will end up left behind or stuffed away somewhere in a junk drawer never again to see the light of day.
Highly portable
Promotional mugs are also small enough to be easily stored away in a suitcase, overnight bag or even a purse. This greatly increases the likelihood that the mug will actually make it out of the event hall, and subsequently, the hotel room. If a promotional item is too bulky it may get tossed out for lack of room in a travel bag and if it’s too small, it’s prone to easily get lost. A coffee mug is the perfect “in-between” size for the return trip home.
Probability of frequent use
Who doesn’t appreciate a coffee mug? Even if a person is not a coffee drinker, it’s still highly likely that they’ll keep a personalized mug in their kitchen cabinet and use it for other drinks or for guests. Many people also collect things like personalized mugs, so giving them one offers the opportunity to add to (or start) a collection!
