Promotional Items Under $3

April 11, 2019

If you want to market your business, but you don't want to spend a fortune, you need to check out these awesome promotional items under $3!

If you're shopping online for promotional items, you may have noticed that it can be surprisingly difficult to find a great promotional products under $2 per piece. However, there are a few gems in that price range I feel comfortable recommending. Check out promotional items under $1, and promotional items under $2 for my recommendations.

If your budget allows for a $2-$3 price range, the amount of options available to you increase dramatically. Of course, I still have a few favorites I'd like to share with you.

Why market your business with promotional products?

Promotional products can help your business stand out from your competitors.
They're a great way to create brand awareness with new customers.
Sending a promotion item after a purchase or referral is a great way to say thank you.
If you have loyal customers (or employees), promotional gifts are nice to show your appreciation.

A few more things to consider!

Volume/quantity. If you're planning on distributing large quantities of items (at a concert, parade, festival, trade shows or convention), you may want to consider lower cost/higher volume items. However, one strategy I've found effective is to keep a smaller quantity of more expensive giveaways on hand for high quality prospects. People love feeling that they're getting something special, and if you've had a great conversation with a prospect, giving them a higher value item may help you close the deal.

Campaign Size and Goals. Every marketing campaign is different, so determining how you allocate your marketing budget is key. If you have $1000 to spend, which scenario will work best for you?

50 items ($20.00 per item)
400 items ($2.50 per item)
1000 items ($1.00 per item)

If you're hyper focused on 50 high quality leads, you may want to go for a $20 item. If you're blanketing a large event, you may want to choose the $1 item. And if you're somewhere in-between, a $2.50 item might be the perfect balance for you.
