You probably can't give out the key to the city or even the key to the front office. But you can give out printed keyrings to encourage customers to think of you each and every time they unlock their doors. Some people collect keyrings while others toss them away. Make sure yours stands out before it ends up in the waste basket.
Multi-Use Keyrings
Keyrings don't have to just hold keys and make jingling sounds, they can do so much more. Key chains with fabric loops make great for hanging on hooks in entryways and cramped office walls. For as little as £0.19 a piece, you can find your business name on the keys and walls of thousands of potential clients.
Rollerclip keyrings are perfect for men or women that need to keep their keys handy on their belt or waistband. The rollerclip keyring holds keys close to the waist until they need to be used. A quick tug on the rollerclip and the keys pull away freely while still connected via a thin, flexible cable. Release the keys and the rollerclip reels them in again.
Carabiner keyrings clip onto nearly anything – from sacks to children's bags to beltloops to shopping buggies. Give away printed carabiner keyrings provides recipients with a quick, easy way to keep keys wherever they belong. You won't spend a fortune, either. For as little as £0.69 a piece, you can choose one of seven nylon attaching ropes and a single color imprint.
Printed keyrings that include a light can save a user time and keep them safer. They can light up the door or gate on a dark night or find a key medication in a dark bag. Ranging from £0.85 to just over £3.00 a piece, you can choose from a number of different styles of light up printed key chains.
Printed keyring flashdrives are becoming increasingly popular. Give these away at trade shows and you might be the most popular booth in the whole place. Sure, you'll have to spend a little more (these start at £3.85 a piece) but it may just prove to be worth the extra cost.
Keyrings with a Purpose
When you attend tradeshows or job fairs, you are there to get your name into the industry community and to pick up client leads. Make it a two-for-one by exchanging a printed keyring with a key on it for contact information. Set up a number of locked boxes and invite your booth visitors to unlock one for a secondary prize. The secondary prizes could range from ballpoint pens to tickets to a local event to airline tickets, depending entirely on what your budget can afford.
Delivering Keyrings
Keep in mind that rubber printed keyrings may end up in baby's mouth or as part of a collection rather than used each day. You'll need to make the moment of gifting memorable enough to make an imprint in the recipient's mind. An exciting or unique delivery will help ensure this.
