That’s a very good point as to the year round appeal of keyrings. The best promotional keyring I ever got was a useful one. It had a small torch incorporated in it. I was glad of that many a dark night to help see the lock on the car door.

That torch keyring is definitely one of my favourite corporate gifts too! This take on the traditional keyring illuminates (no pun intended) the value of traditional gifts with a novelty component integrated.

keyrings are a good idea of promoting your brand…. when they function as additional things too they stay on the bearer’s mind… like Kayy said if a torch or any other useful accessory is attached it’ll be carried around and the brand name stays in the customers mind. Another factor is it is inexpensive and can be given away at any place and time…

Same as Kayy and Jack, I like torch keyring too. I’ve few in my collections. One of it, I get when bought a pack of AAA battery.
Besides, multi-functional keyring also good for promotional purpose because its very useful. For example, attached with lighter, nail clipper and can opener together in one keyring. I think its cool. But, the material for additional accessories which attached at keyring should be good too. Then, your customers will thankful for it.

Of course, keyring, is one of the best promotional item around. Keyring are of many types, but only those which seem to look catchy to the eyes of people gain more reputation in the markets.Specially the one carved with the logo of the company gain more attention. Some shades of metallic color will look great.

Keyrings in my opinion are great but only if you are a sales person. Because hardly ever someone is seeing the logo on it. But everybody remembers who gave them the keyring especially if it comes in handy sometimes. ‘this keyring from Dave was very helpful! Oh that reminds me i need to order from him again”.

One way to creatively make use of the key rings is to have a series of keyrings of different colors and shapes. Make sure they are handy and attractive. Release them in stages and make your prospects want to have the full collection. In this way, you can introduce your company as your prospective clients complete the collection!

I think a keyring alone is not a useful promotional product irrespective of what you are trying to promote. The keyring should be dual purpose, say like a torch fitted in or a small mirror (this might be appealing to a woman) or even a small foldable scissors etc.

As I look at my Flashlight keyring I just have to laugh. I’ve had mine for well over a year, and I can tell you that I remember who gave it to me. So with this said, who do you think gets the call when I need a particular product or service? Yes..you guessed right..the company who gave me the keyring! Simple yet effective marketing that worked well 50 years ago, still works well today. Actually, I made him give me 2..one for the wife and she also uses hers.

Promotional keyring is an effective way of promoting products or brands. And it is definitely everywhere — a big proof that this marketing tactic works. And who have not seen of these keyrings? The element of visibility is quite high for this technique. Major brands are into this thing. And if you are giving these to your loyal customers or prospective ones, they would surely be happy to be bringing the brand wherever they go everyday.
Today, these are so many available designs for keyring — some are even so attractive and so artistic. Pick up one according to your product or brand message.

Though this a cool thing to give away, it doesn’t apply to companies which want much publicity and mass appeal.
This is generally limited with the person or two. And if the company needs more satisfied clients or people working for them, than wide publicity then this appeals to be the right choice.

Promotional keyrings are always good, I happen to be using a few myself
One key point is that although you ARE using it to advertise, the advertising elements shouldn’t be too blatant and obnoxious. It needs to look good, and the advertising elements must be subtle or people will be reluctant in using them.

Keyrings,i have lot of them.Personally i love to own keyrings if it comes to free product.I recieved many of them when i bought some products or services.One time i got them was when i purchased by bike.If ur business is related to vehicles or something like that then providing such gifts is pretty useful.I got another one when i done a fixed deposite in one of the company.This shows that keyrings have many uses.

Yes Choosing a marketing tool for business is just like choosing the right blood sample for a critically ill patient. keyrings are a acceptable abstraction of announcement your brand…. back they action as added things too they break on the bearer’s mind… like Kayy said if a bake or any added advantageous accent is absorbed it will be agitated about and the cast name stays in the barter mind. Another agency is it is bargain and can be accustomed abroad at any abode and time.

As this talks abt Promoting your company all year round i believe that a Calender with Photographs of the Management and talks about the growth of the company or abt the products they endorse and can have snaps of the products which will be useful and the company will be well in the market and its a best advertising tool these days

My husband has a torch keyring, and he has had it for ages. He received it as a small incentive from his company for putting in some extra work one week. We have gotten quite a few others over the years, but they have never been used. It’s only that torch that caught his eye.
I did used to have a cute logo keyring with a small mirror I quite liked. Anything that serves more then one purpose is always a great idea.

Promotional keyrings with your company logo engraved on it works a lot. Whenever I open my car see that Levi’s logo on keyring. It takes me to Levi’s store evrytime I think of buying a jeans. Promotional keyrings are I think cheapest mode of promoting your product, and effective too.
