Every business needs a promo closet. What’s a promo closet, you ask? It’s a stash of promotional goodies with your logo that you keep on hand for whatever need may arise. Today we’re going to walk you through the types of items you want in your promo closet and give you some suggestions of good items for each category.
#1: Pens.
Like we mentioned in this recent blog post, a quality pen with your logo is a must-have for every organization. Our first pick is the Festival Pen. It comes in a variety of colors but the best part is that you can put a full-color digital imprint on this pen. At just $0.86 each, this pen is the perfect way to make a colorful logo pop! 
A trending pen feature that we love is the soft touch pen. These pens write beautifully and are so comfortable to use! The Dawson soft stylus pen is only $1.82 per pen making it a totally affordable, nice pen. 
#2: Drinkware.
People really enjoy receiving branded drinkware. It’s something that everyone can use and will last a long time. This is a must and always available in the JDA promo closet. The 20 oz. Viking Nova is actually in our closet at this very moment. We love it and everyone we’ve given it t feels the same way. This item starts around $12 with a one-color imprint. You can also go with laser engraving or full-color digital imprint, which costs a few dollars more but really amps up the perceived value. 
If you need to be a little more budget-conscious, you can snag this best selling 25 oz. Aluminum Alpine Bottle for only $3. 
#3: Inexpensive items for events.
The next thing you want in your closet is something inexpensive that you can keep on hand in larger quantities. If a great opportunity pops ups but you only have a few days to prep then you can pull event giveaways from your promo stash without worrying about turnaround times and special orders. Webcam covers are a great item to hand out. Two of our account executives recently gave them out at a trade show and everyone loved getting a unique, useful tech product. This item starts at $1.12 but for a few cents more, you can add a stock or custom instruction card. 
With a unique round shape and matte finish, this round lip balm looks an awful lot like that retail brand we won’t name (but you know what we’re talking about, right?) For an extra charge, you can print on the optional silicone strap (It’s great spot to include your website.)
#4: Small quantity of nicer items for high-priority clients/customers.
No promo closet is complete without some VIP gifts. When you’re picking out items for this category think journals, desktop accessories, mobile power banks, etc. You want to stock items that people will both use and be excited to receive. We think this journal is a win-win. If you’re having a meeting and someone didn’t realize they’d need something to take notes with, they’re covered. The cell phone holder also frees up space for people who don’t want to carry too many things. It also come in 12 colors! 
Another great option for a VIP gift is this slim executive charger. This charger has a soft leather like body wrap in 14 colors, features 4000 mAh capacity and is customizable with your company logo. 
#5: Inexpensive apparel, like caps or t-shirts.
Caps and t-shirts are an easy go-to for promotional items. This tri-blend t-shirt is one of our most popular. It comes in over 20 different colors including heathered colors and is just super comfy. 
#6: Bag to put it all in.
We think you should round out your promo closet with a bag to put it all in. Whether it’s letting someone gather their promo items for a tradeshow in a branded bag or having a nice presentation for clients, a bag is the proverbial cherry on the top of the promo closet sundae. For less than $2, this non-woven bag will stand out from the crowd with its angular shape. This bag definitely gets you a lot bang for your buck. 
We are currently using the navy version of this jute bag in our promo closet. Its quality cannot be beaten for the price tag: $7.09.
