If you are giving away promotional items this year, then one of the biggest markets you can tap into is the office market.

So many different types of businesses have offices across the UK, so it is important to bear this in mind when giving away promotional merchandise. And this is the point where so many companies come unstuck in their marketing.

Many are simply unsure of what type of promotional items will be the most effective and practical, especially when meeting different people at trade shows and exhibitions. So we have drawn up a list of the top five office essentials that will always be in high demand, no matter what companies you are targeting.

1. Diaries

This is perhaps one of the most useful promotional items you can offer to prospective clients, especially when arranging meetings with them.

Diaries are useful and are likely to be a regular companion to whoever they are given to, meaning that your company name and logo will be seen as useful all year round.

2. Stationery

This is perhaps one of the most useful office essentials you can supply. Whether you are offering pens, pencils, erasers, or calculators, these remain a firm favourite among marketers all the time.

3. Stress Balls

Who hasn’t felt stressed at some point during their career? Giving away stress balls with your logo is in many ways a stroke of genius, because then your brand name will immediately be associated with the relief of stress, when it is used during the course of the day.  

4. Mousemats

These will always be useful in any office. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and some of them come complete with coasters to rest drinks on, which effectively kills two birds with one stone.

5. Clocks

Help prospective clients keep track of meetings with you, by supplying these incredibly useful office essentials. 

Whether you are after traditional quartz clocks, digital, pyramid-shaped or stack clocks, there is an endless stream of designs to choose from.
