Promotional calculators: adding up the practical benefits
How many times have you or your colleagues needed quick answers to a simple sum, but had no calculator handy? Chances are that when on the phone or faced with on the spot calculations, a desk calculator would have been perfect.
That’s why choosing promotional calculators customised with your company name, logo, message or website address, will be a godsend for your clients and customers alike; after all, who doesn’t at some point deal with costs, budgets and numbers? Giving your promotional calculators to clients and customers is a great (and popular) way of promoting your brand name effectively.
Opting to advertise your company with a promotional calculator really is a practical way to stay in the minds of your clients with a useful and useable gift:
Go for durable, easy to use calculator styles for a lomg lasting brand promotions for example Argon Promotions has an oval calculator with eight digits which is avaliable in three stylish colours (silver and either black, blue or orange) Made to the very highest standards, they will last, having rubber buttons for continuing use which means your customer will associate your brand with something enduring and great to use.
They can also be taken out of the office; opt for handbag-friendly slim, credit-card calculators, or a calculator with so many features it’s a must for business trips, where a world clock and alarm feature are invaluable extras that you will be remembered for providing. They are a cost-effective yet impressive method of appreciating your customers and drawing new interest at trade fairs or exhibitions, making a welcome change from promotional pens (and they’re eye-catching too).
So choosing promotional calculators to send out to clients and customers not only associates your brand with something pleasing, useful and practical, but is an impressive way to display your company brand in style, in whatever colours and trims you choose.

Great selection tips here. Yes, I absolutely agree particularly on selecting a promotional calculator that is handbag-friendly, especially the slim ones that can fit right into my pocket notebook, and even so if the calculator is solar-powered!

Jonesey you’ve hit the nail right on the head with this. Small calculators are indeed great for your pocket and handbag and now with solar-power you don’t have to worry about batteries. This makes the product much lighter to carry as well. The desk calculator is still very popular but most of these nowadays are solar-powered which saves the company a hefty battery bill and keeps the boss happy.

I think that calculators are better than teddy bears, because more people interact with them and use them daily. Calculators can be a powerful promotional tool in situations when people can’t calculate something by themselves and have to use some electronics for help.

Promotional calculators also one of the great and useful items. I more prefer
on pocket-size and slim calculator which more easier to bring it together.
And yeah, I absolutely agree with Jonesey and Bec its more helpful if this
promotional calculators are bring with solar-powered.

Daniel, you’re so right about slim calculators! For me in order to be effective, the calculator has to be very small (smaller than a PALM), few features and overall practical since the purpose for it is entirely promotional you want the person carrying the product everywhere and not leaving it at home because of its size!

Oh, thanks Susanne. Like your opinion too. As we know, people nowadays love slim and easy to fit it your pocket items. Maybe its more flexible, cool and practical. To add more value on it, provide extra functional to the calculator. For example, build-in colour screen or etc.

Promotional calculators are the future of advertising. College students and business people are always in the look out to find easy answers. Is there an easier way to add up numbers? Yes, in todays word society is about finding quick and easy solutions. Besides, calculators are easy to carry by hand; just slide into your back pocket. Oh yes, solar type calculators help the business owner save money. Business expenses can often be depressing.

Based on my own experience, the failure rate of cheap calculators can be very high. Make sure that the gift is qualtiy check for every single piece. And those cheap plasitc calculators are a definite no no.

As a businessman, i feel calculators are a part of me, I’ve to always use it for making calculations on my profits, my expenses , savings and all. That’s where a promotional calculator can be very handy, and the benefit of it being pocket sized is a bonus.

Promotional calculators can be very handy, and also something someone keeps for a long period of time. If the calculator is given in a situation where the person might use it right off, then the impression will be much more positive initially, and more remembered.
Plus the expense involved can be quite low to provide someone a small piece of electronics

promotional calculators are very useful marketing stuff. But you need to pay high attention while selecting the calculator for your marketing campaign. If you tend to select too fancy calculator, then the chances of its use are minimal. So try to keep your audience in mind while selecting the promotional calculator.

Yes small calculators who fit in your pockets and dont need batteries always come in handy. and also if its with solar power the calculator becomes much lighter and easier to carry around.

Calculators are still most popular and widely used tool for day-today calculations.As a promotional tool, it best fits in the budget of the company.Even though computers are the order-of-the-day, calculators are more portable and meet the professional needs of the customers.A branded calculator with the company name and logo is a good promotional gift.

I personally have never received a calculator as a promotional gift, i would be glad to get such kind of a gift. As a promotional item i feel it won’t be a bad idea but with so many buttons where would you put your logo or company name to promote ?
November 7th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
yes I will also love to have a calculator as promotional gift otherwise I will rarely go out to spend some money and buy a calculator for my own, most really don’t do it, but when you make it as a promotional gift many really love to use them, especially when its compact.

I really like the tip of being able to take this gift outside the office. Not all promotional gifts can be used outside the office. This one can fit in your briefcase and can be taken on the go.
