When it comes to giveaways and swag ideas for trade shows in 2023, it's important to choose items that are both memorable and useful to attendees.

Choosing promotional giveaways that are fun and cost-effective can be challenging - especially if your budget is limited. You can still stand out from the competition without breaking the bank. Creo Promotional Solutions is here to provide you with ten tradeshow giveaway ideas that will help you break away from traditional promotions!

Draw Prizes & Giveaways at Your Trade Show Booth

A draw is an easy and effective method to draw people toward your booth. Getting the first person in will bring others, as people always attract more people! It can be a fun and unique promotional gift that everyone wants to get or a great draw prize for an amazing gift you have on display.

Regarding choosing the draw prize, Creo Promotional Solutions has a wide selection of gift ideas that you can imprint subtly with your logo to use as the draw prize at trade shows. If you are selling a product, you can incorporate that into the draw or even a game, whether it be a free product, installation, upgrade or discounts which would go to the lucky participants/winners.
