Custom printed tape measures are a great promotional giveaway!

Whether you're looking for an affordable marketing giveaway for a tradeshow or a handy gift your customers will use for years to come, logo'd tape measures are an excellent promotional item for many businesses.

Promotional tape measures - what are they, and what options are available?

Promotional tape measures are simply tape measures with an area to screenprint, engrave, or add a sticker with your business's logo and marketing message. Companies purchase these custom giveaways as gifts and giveaways and look for the right moment to delight recipients with these handy items.

When picking a custom imprint tape measure, consider these options:

  • Shape - There are many shapes of tape measure to choose from, with your standard form being the most popular. However, we also carry round, square, ergonomic, and even uniquely shaped multi-function tape measures.
  • Colors & Materials - When it comes to materials, your choices are metal, rubber, plastic, or some combination of all. Colors vary per product, with gray and yellow the most common. Colorful options to match your brand are available too. 
  • Lengths - We carry everything from novelty 3-foot measuring tapes to 25-footers, with 6', 8', 10', and 16' sizes in between.
  • Features - We sell a handful of unique multi-function measuring tapes with special features such as lasers, levels, and even sticky notes for jotting sizes. 
  • Budget - Depending on the size, quantities, and features, prices range from $1-25 each. 

Who buys custom logo tape measures?

Custom logo tape measures come in handy at home, in stores, or at the office. These highly functional gifts are popular promotions with realtors, contractors, interior designers, home improvement professionals, and even furniture store clients. 

  • Contractors and carpenters - If your business has employees in the field estimating or measuring frequently, consider outfitting your team with branded tape measures to reinforce your brand. 
  • Real estate companies - Realtors love tape measures because they make thoughtful giveaways during home tours. Pulling out a custom logo tape measure and giving it to your customer says a lot about your customer service. 

How do you market a business with tape measures?

You're certainly not going to hand out tape measures to everyone you meet on the street. However, there may be times when having a tape measure makes sense for your business. 

  • Trade shows - If your company frequently attends trade shows, novelty tape measures are a fun affordable SWAG giveaway. 
  • First impressions - Branded tape measures are a fun gift for contractors and interior designers when you meet with new customers. These small gifts leave a positive impression.  
  • Customer service - If you have a business like a furniture store, consider having a handful of custom logo tape measures available for customers to use during their visit. Customers will appreciate having a tape measure to check the sizes of furniture and will love when you tell them to take one on the house.
