12 Budget-Friendly Corporate Gifts Ideas to Create Brand Awareness

If you don't already know it, branded corporate gifts play a crucial part in the success of any marketing strategy. Because the impression rate is high, the return on investment is bigger than any other marketing tactic used today. To yield maximum results, however, you have to give targeted, useful and high-quality gifts. 

We get it, not every company has a massive marketing budget, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your marketing strategy. It just means that you have to use your funds wisely to make sure you get a decent return on investment. 
If you are looking for budget branded gift ideas that will actually grow your bottom line, we've made a list for you, just because we are nice.
 

1. 1. Mints or lip balm - Two items most humans use, thus, always a welcome gift!

3. 3. Pens - Stationery will never not be a great branded gift, no matter the advancements in technology.
