Back to school ideas

What are your four best trade show products and why?

When it comes to creating promotional campaigns for students, teachers and parents, choose items that are immediately useful and fun. Start by thinking about what students typically need, for example, bookmarks, notepads, calendars. Then add an exciting twist with a unique or colourful design, something to catch their eye and brighten their first day back. It also means one less item mom and dad need to buy, making them happy too. Not everything needs to be practical though, sometimes the best promo items are those that surprise and delight. Our tattoos and clothing stickers can be a great way to put a smile on student’s face. As well as thinking about promotional products for students, consider what you can give to the teachers, or mom and dad. It’s a busy time of year for them too, consider showing your appreciation with a practical giveaway they can use all year like our Sticky Note Calendar.

Often, business owners will skip back to school season if they feel their products or services aren’t immediately applicable. In many cases, with a little creative thinking, you can develop an effective promo campaign as well. For example, offering “healthy school lunch ideas” or “healthy eating tips” on a notepad can be a great way to promote your restaurant or food business to busy families. Parents and teachers also love back to school promotions and giveaways from hair salons, gyms and spas.
