It’s the recession and all but that doesn’t mean that your company has to scrimp on promotional products. If you’ve been traditionally giving away promotional products to your clients, scrapping them from your budget outright might not send a good sign to your clients. Your loyal clients provide you with your much needed moolah, the least you can give them is an occassional token of your appreciation through promotional products.

Since you don’t want to scrap promo products entirely, why not just lower your budget for it? If you’ve been budgeting $5 per promo products, then just lower it to a $1. If you think promo products under $1 are unheard of, check out these items.
