Best Swag or freebies for tow conference

[Matthew Murphy]

So today my team and I were brainstorming on what Swag or give sways we should acquire for the Florida Tow show. 
 

I figured I would go straight to our intended audience and ask. What were some swag or freebies you remember most?

 

Any and all suggestions are welcome. 
 

Thank you!

We all do some kind of work with tools and screws.  I have seen these silicone (I think some are even even magnetic) tool trays that are pretty neat.  And you could smack a logo on them.  Here is an example.  Not all of them mind you but the small one would be neat to give away.

Also I have liked these little magnetic stick on do hickys to put in the cab for phone mounts or Radio Mic mounts.   Cold even stick some small tools to them in the rear boxes:

Then a more low tech one.  For us guys that do roadside work.  A nice tire marker to mark a puncture on a tire.  Always seem to loose mine.

https://www.amazon.com/Steelman-00062-Yellow-Marking-Crayons/dp/B00IJW2Q9E/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2YFJJNQEV03IC&keywords=tire+marker&qid=1642186141&sprefix=tire+marker%2Caps%2C705&sr=8-10

 

Or a nice paint marker to write on impounded vehicles.

Then there is always the old stand by's Small pocket drivers.  Ones with the Tire Valve stem tool on the top are the best.

Awesome...Thanks for the great suggestions

Don't see many valve stem tools at booths any more. But, that makes them special these days. https://www.4imprint.com/search/valve stem

 

Oddly enough something else you never see but nearly everyone uses are hair combs. https://www.4imprint.com/product/115487/Boutique-Comb

 

First Aid Kits are also good to have around and there are various types from single bandages to kits: https://www.4imprint.com/product/7886-S/Companion-Care-First-Aid-Kit-Opaque

 

Wow, this is something I have not seen before: https://www.4imprint.com/product/147802/LED-Zipper-Pull

 

Clip On Portable Cutlery Set: https://www.4imprint.com/product/119390/Clip-It-Portable-Cutlery-Set

 

I got a lunch bag from Chevrolet at the work Truck Show a couple of years ago, it was a higher dollar one then this one. But any type of bag is a value to those in towing, it doesn't have to be a lunch bag or anything fancy.

Lunch Bags are always good.: https://www.4imprint.com/product/109470/Square-Non-Woven-Lunch-Bag

 

I did not find  a link to them right now, but the reflective decals which attach to the inside of a vehicle door are good from a safety standpoint since drivers open and close the doors often.

 

Hope this helps anyone displaying at a show. Remember you do have to control these items at the booth. Generally I give them to those who show interest. A bowl of candy, mints and such is better left on the table then an item.

 

Does anyone know what may be the most popular giveaway at a tow show? I think I do....

[Matthew Murphy]

Appreciated 👍🏻

Ink Pens are always good. Black Ink Not Blue Please!

[Matthew Murphy]

I prefer black too.  I think my boss bought a bunch of blue.  I have to course correct that, when able.  

[MTtow]

Spend a little more and order higher quality pens. Bic is my preference. The cheaper no name pens have less ink in them and when they run out sooner so does your advertising. 

[Matthew Murphy]

Thanks.  Hopefully the boss doesn’t skimp. 👍🏻

[yoBdaBenO]

I was looking through the drawers for a soda can cover, it will turn up. Just don't see them much anymore.

 

Koozies and Pens A Plenty though. Koozies just end up in the trash, can lids hang around much longer as the same price.

Can't wait to go to a Tow Show this year. Trying to make it to Ft Worth, TX. or Las Vegas, NV.

[Matthew Murphy]

Thanks for the info.  Hopefully if Florida is productive. I too will make to the other shows as well. 
 

until then be safe out there

Agreed on the good quality pens.

 

We all need a pen many times per day.
