A multifunctional gadget would certainly appeal to me, or a calculator that could easily fit in my pocket. I would say that it would need to be of good quality though as calculators are relatively cheap today. So any calculator would need to have something extra or different.

Choosing as per the users requirements is a important thing but with that i can also suggest that giving a calculator with maximum calculation features is a lot better thing as user will be addicted to it for all of his calculation.

Promotional calculators can be a very expensive gift, depending on their functions and features, but they surely won’t go unnoticed. If nothing else, they’ll help spread rumors about your company’s generous promotional material and help you get new clients this way.

A promotional calculator is really very appealing. But it can be an expensive gift and hence can not be given with every product. But it can really promote the sale as it is a very useful electronic gadget, a smaller calculator having more number of functions will be more effective.

calculator is one thing which everyone find very useful. but the problem with it is that is everyone will be possesing one and if the promotional item given is very cheap and bad looking no one will try to use it . they may be having some better ones. so its necessary to give good ones which can be expensive.

When you said that they are used by all the companies all around the globe you were right. But have you thought how many of them would look at it when they are busy calculating the company expenditure or there profits. Just give it a thought

Some people who really like small gadget like calculator will love this promotional item. Even some shops also use some small and unique calculator as their promotional gift when someone buy something at their shops. If it was me, i will come and collect that calculator in different colours. To be honest, i already do that. Its really cute and i like it. So far, not many shops or company use calculator. But i really like it. Sometimes, they prefer to use watch. I think nothing wrong with that right?

Pebbles, multifuctional gadgets appeal me too. That’s why I agree with peter and Nigel too. Lets give our customer more than usual calculator. Like above post, the promotional calculator comes with euro converter and music alarm are cool. But at the same time no need include too many functions. Just keep it simple and smart.

The most attracting promotional items (at least for me). A very useful tools for business person to do calculation. Suitable ‘gift’ for engineering companies. Ya, no need to put so many functions. At the end, the only thing to do is calculation. Extra functions will not impress your business partner unless you give to people that has nothing to deal with.

I agree with Benji when he mentions calculators being a useful tool but I think in this day and age it is also a tool that many people already have on their phone, laptop or related gadget and not the kind of item that someone is likely to carry additionally unfortunately.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am
You are right Conrad!! But still we can’t neglect importance of a calculator. Laptop, phones and related things are common for us But everytime we can’t boot a laptop for calculating.
I think promotional calculator gifting will surely help businessman in building a direct contact to customers.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I think that promotional calculators are not very good because nowadays nobody use calculators because everyone have nice cell phone with great calculator. So my opinion for promotional calculators is not very good. This method to promote a product is old and not very useful.
September 23rd, 2008 at 9:43 am
Using Cellphone as in for Calculators might be boring.. As they don’t have all the functions required to calculate sums and products.. I still think calculators are used in large companies..
September 23rd, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I admit that Most of the large companies use promotional calculators but i really don’t think there’s any need of euro converter or music alarm. A calculator must be simple and should be appealing to the customers/clients, thats all! there’s no need of having keyring calculators, atleast not for large companies
September 24th, 2008 at 7:31 am
i should agree with the comment made by peter that choosing as per the users requirements is a important thing but with that i can also suggest that giving a calculator with maximum calculation features is a lot better thing as user will be addicted to it for all of his calculation. nobody can reject a calculator anyway.
September 24th, 2008 at 7:34 am
I don’t think anyone uses fancy calculators for marketing campaign for large companies. A too fancy calculator will look awkward in office. But if you want to use it at your home them it can be fine.
September 30th, 2008 at 8:28 am
In my opinion the idea is great but might be a bit expensive as other posters suggested.
One of the best places to use as advertisement would be schools - of course if your company sells product which are for the kids / students. In this case just a simple calculator with a few math functions would do. Simple = not expensive and kids are good customers
September 30th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Calculators the most expensive from all the other promotional gifts. But you don’t have to regret it if you choose calculators for promotion of your company. People will see that you care about your work, and will be impressed and this way they will try your service again for sure.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I think the author has written a wonderful description about using the calculators as promotional material. The most important thing in this is that the author has also mentioned the reasons of attraction of different customers.
My suggestion is that, the promotional material should be one way or the other related to the product.
October 12th, 2008 at 7:11 am
It is a good idea but for me it won’t really work. These days, calculator can be found in laptop, computer, mobile, palm, etc.. So, regular calculator will not get regular usage. Personally, I would not choose calculator as a promotional tool to advertise my company. Students still uses calculator but scientific type. If we want to tackle student market, then it is wise but also very expensive gift.

Calculators are one of the best promotional gifts, And specially those with the dazzling looks , with gold touched edges , make it look pretty gorgeous .Of course calculators are badly needed by every individual in day to day life. So it is surely a successful item for promotion.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
The most required tool. yes, a calculator for sure in every business area. And start promoting your business at the rest business.
Give away calculators for the clients, for employees, and as a freebie to the customers. This is yet another cheap promotional tool.
November 7th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Promotional calculators are always handy, in an office workplace a calculator is great and very handy. Like a pen it is something that you always use and one of the most important tools in the workplace. As many people these days cannot use mental arithmetic and use a calculator to save their brain.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Calculator is not the best promotional product, despite being the most useful in offices all around the world. It cannot be termed a successful promo tool because it is mostly in table drawers, there are so many keys that it is difficult to place a company logo to market.

One issue about calculators that are often not addresed is what type of battery should be used - normal alkaline AA or AAA ones or lithum. Lithum batteries calculators are definitely better but more expensive than using alkaline batteries but the latter is good for a mass market.
