Free Coffee Cups
Everyone always likes complimentary giveaways of just about any type. Anyone would be excited to see that someone is giving away free coffee cups. Your display will be king as all your clients and potential clients tell other clients where they got the coffee cups that they're carrying around, using them to hold all the other junk they got from the other guys. Who wants a key ring or a pen when they can get a coffee cup instead?
How Coffee Cups Are Better
Think back to when you used to go trick or treating, even if that was just last October. Liken key rings and calenders to the little orange and black candies that no one actually likes. Coffee cups are like the candy bars of promotional items. Remember all the kids telling each other where to get "the good stuff"? That's what clients will be doing, referring to your coffee cups. And when it comes to any type of promotional item, size is everything. You can't ignore something as big as a coffee cup, especially in comparison to flimsy pieces of plastic. There's no particular season or time period that people use or don't use coffee cups; they're just always around. People drink coffee, or something, in the winter, fall, spring, and summer. Calenders will last four seasons, but that's it. After those initial four seasons, they're landfill bound.
Coffee Cups As Gifts
Coffee cups make especially good gifts, and cheap gifts are what everyone is looking for during Christmas. They're easy to pack, surprisingly durable, and unlike something like a t-shirt, they can't be the wrong size. What a nightmare it would be to gift all of your female employees shirts that were too small...or too big, for that matter. It wouldn't be pretty, and it's not even possible with coffee cups.
Tips On Choosing Coffee Cups
So I'm sure you're asking; how would one go about making or procuring promotional coffee mugs? Following are a few of the things that should be considered. The most important thing to consider is the material you want to use for your coffee cups.
Choosing a Material
There are lots of options, ranging from metals to plastics, and even crockery and porcelain. The end product really should reflect your business's purpose, and the material the cup is made of can have a huge effect on this. If you want your company to exude power and stability, then you'd certainly want metal over plastic. A company named BIG THINGS would look great on a metal coffee cup, for instance. Marcy's Flowers - not so much. Marcy would likely be better off with porcelain or ceramic, which provide a sort of homey, affectionate feel to them. Ceramic cups in particular seem to appeal to motherly types since ceramics are synonymous with arts and crafts. Plastic cups have their place as well, telling everyone that your business is for anyone, all walks of life, regardless of income.
