Mini Fan Central

What you choose as promotional gifts and trinkets for your company or organization will really depend on who you are marketing to and where you are doing your marketing. The ideal give away item really will vary from company to company. It’s tricky to balance your favorite items with your budget. Here are five reasons that promotional mini fans can be an asset for companies looking to give away gifts.

1. Quality. This is the top reason for using mini fans for a promotion. Not ideal if you’re on a cramped budget, but excellent if you are connecting directly with high value contacts. The mini fan, when done well, is something people will appreciate much more than a pen or pencil. They will appreciate that you didn’t take the cheap route.
2. Actual appeal. Handing out balloons and kazoos and Frisbees is plenty affordable, but most real business contacts won’t keep these around. Because the mini promotional fan actually serves a purpose, there is a much better chance that the people you reach out to will keep your product (and therefore, your logo) around for a lot longer.
3. Uniqueness. If you want to get noticed, you should stand out from the crowd. Everybody does pens. Not everybody does miniature fans. It just might be the distinction you need (or part of it) to get noticed.
4. Comfort. If you’re attending an event in a warm part of the country or during warm weather, then the cooling factor of the fan will definitely work in your favor. If you’re going someplace cold, this is probably not what you’re looking for and your money is better spent elsewhere.
5. Features/style. As with all things, personal mini fans run the gamut from well-designed and well-equipped to bright and tacky. If you’re marketing to kids, tacky is great; bring on the bright colors. But if you’re marketing to adults, they’ll appreciate a tasteful fan with convenient clips or neckband, and maybe even a flashlight or other feature that makes it not just a trinket, but a tool.
