What to contribute to a Swag Bag?
Swag bags are a way to promote your business and a unique way to get customers to visit your shop, website or store following the event.
Here are some great tips for swag items:
- Samples: samples are a great way for customers to try your products before they buy. One of my favorite swag items was a jam vendor who had included small jam samples in our swag bags
- Freebies: free gifts are always popular. At our spring show, one vendor had a small pair of earrings included in the swag bags
- Free Item Coupons: Offer something free to encourage traffic to your store. For example, in a swag bag I got a coupon for a handmade card. I ended up purchasing several items when I picked up the freebie.
- Promotional Items: Pens and magnets are great promotional items that have your website or logo branded on the item
Inexpensive Swag Ideas:
- attach your business card to a magnet
- attach a candy or small treat with your business card/postcard
