The number of enquiries for promotional gifts shows no sign of reducing. That would indicate a healthy situation rather than a credit crunch. But delve deeper and it is clear that the marketing consumer is looking to maintain a level of spend, but a reduced one. Cheap promotional items are the order of the day and cheap promotional keyrings are one particular set of items that can have a great impact on your marketing campaign.

Promotional keyrings are still a great selling range of business gifts and giveaway ideas. It is a product that people almost certainly use, there is plenty of choice and the branding areas are usually excellent. Therefore cheap promotional keyrings are the lower price end of this range and are the ones that most purchasers are concentrating on. It is being perceived that the recipients are grateful for the level of contact as a client and for any type of gift at present, so why shouldn’t that be one of the cheap promotional keyrings.

There are various keyrings that could be fall into the cheap promotional keyrings category. Most of these are produced in either plastic or acrylic. There are the flexible plastic keyrings which can come in several shapes and are a very tactile product that can be printed in up to full colour process. The 2 part acrylic keyfobs are probably the best selling of the cheap promotional keyrings. These take a printed paper insert that can again be printed in up to full colour to both sides. There is a great choice of shapes and the acrylic now comes in a vast choice of colours as well.

Ad loop keyrings are another popular choice from within the cheap promotional keyrings. This can also be added to a list that includes an ice scraper keyring and PVC keyrings to name a few more that work out to be great value for money.

With the demand for recycled and eco promotional gifts, these too are catered for in the range of cheap promotional keyrings. Often using recycled materials comes at a slight premium which is worth it for the positive impact, but this is not true with the recycled cheap promotional keyrings that provide colour and shape choice and branding possibilities up to full colour process.

If the temporary trend for promotional merchandise is to spend, but spend less, then the range of cheap promotional keyrings is something that Steel City have covered and will continue to look for new and exciting ideas.

One of the most popular promotional giveaway items of the moment is the trolley coin keyring. It is amazing how often the simplest ideas are the ones that demonstrate the best results and this particular idea from the promotional keyrings section is no exception. 

With most supermarkets, airports and shopping centre trolleys now requiring the use of a £1 coin to operate, these can often cause a slight problem if you are lacking in change or if you simply don’t have a £1 coin to hand. The trolley coin keyring solves this problem.

We are also becoming a nation that takes fitness and leisure time very seriously, and member’s gyms, leisure centers or outdoor pursuits centers often have lockers requiring a £1 coin to use the storage facility. The problem with lockers is that it can be easy in the rush or the packing up of kit to forget the coin, a frustrating end to a workout.  Again this is not a problem when you have a trolley coin keyring

Not only does the trolley coin keyring solve the almost everyday problems of these types, but it is also a neat and attractive keyring, not cumbersome or weighty. Using a trolley coin keyring on your set of keys will guarantee that you can always operate a trolley or locker without the need to go in search of some change.

Branding on the trolley coin keyring is much the same as many metal keyrings or pin badges. These are die stamped and then soft enamel infilled up to 4 spot colours. Detail can range from your logo to a message, website to a telephone number. Should you wish to pay a slightly higher price, then you can brand to the second side of your trolley coin keyring, allowing to you maximise your information.

Your trolley coin keyring will be individually poly bagged which protects the item whilst in transit as well as providing an easy way to give a product of this type out without it becoming dusty, taking finger marks or scratching against other metal objects.

There are many occasions where the trolley coin keyring could be considered as a promotional giveaway item. There are perfect for direct mail campaigns as they are small, neat and reasonably lightweight. They are arguably even better when handed out as an exhibition or event giveaway item – especially campaign road shows, where there is an important message to get across.  The trolley coin keyring could equally be perceived as a nice business gift. Although low value it still has a good usability factor by the recipient. The marketing bases are all covered by the trolley coin keyring.

One of the most interesting aspects of the product ranges in the promotional gift industry is how brand named products compete with non-branded products. This can be seen in most areas, and one of these is promotional keyrings. The Ad Loop keyrings are a set of plastic looped key fobs that have made a real name for themselves within the industry. Being a tactile PVC and plastic item with a metal split ring attached, they have found popularity across most industries, been used (I would imagine) in every conceivable area of marketing and have no set restrictions on who would use the Ad Loop keyrings should they be in receipt of one.

The original and still the best selling of all Ad Loop keyrings if the standard size, which has a total ribbon length (if infolded) of 180mm. With a great print area, this product has been one of the most consistent promotional keyring performers in the industry due to its perfect size.  The more recent additions have been the Mini and the Large, with a focus being on achieving the same feel, the same colour combinations, but providing either a lower price point, or a large print area.

The mix and match colour options of the Ad Loop Keyrings has to be one of the main features and benefits. There are a total of 5 coloured ribbons, 8 plastic underside colours and 8 end caps colours (including glow in the dark which carries a slight price premium). All of these colours are available on all sizes of Ad Loop Keyrings.

Other good features to consider when looking into the Ad Loop keyrings are the fact that you can now look at sequential numbering (printed in black only) on the keyrings. Even at a slight additional cost, this opens up some other uses for the keyrings, including membership schemes, or lost key return campaigns.  A belt clip can also be purchased at an extra cost, and when attached to the split ring, provides an additional carrying mechanism.

Ad Loop Keyrings will almost certainly have been used across most marketing areas, from direct mail campaigns, to exhibition giveaways, to conference and client gifts, and although the construction and transport industry spring to mind, the ad loops really have universal appeal.
