Are you looking for something that will draw people’s attention to your craft show booth? – Give them free stuff! Who doesn’t love free stuff? The best things in life are free, so goes the adage.

It’s really a great marketing strategy to encourage consumers to buy. In the business world, giving out freebies may be both a risky and expensive move, but one that is not without heaps of benefits if strategically planned.

So what makes a good promo merchandise item for a craft show?

It should be something inexpensive to reproduce in bulk, it should have your information included and clearly stated, it should be a fantastic representation of your brand, and, most importantly, it should wow your audience. In other words, it should be something that your target customers will hold on to and refer back to when they want to find you again.

Check these cool examples of craft show giveaway ideas and wow your customers:
