The current state of tariffs is still in flux. One week they’re on; the next week they’re off, reduced, or delayed. At any given moment, it’s not clear what the economic impact will be on promotional items purchased overseas.
One way around this situation—or at least a way to avoid it altogether—is to purchase promotional items made in the U.S.A. This blog is the second in a series offering suggestions on some branded merchandise either assembled or produced entirely in the U.S. (remember, a product labeled “Made in the U.S.A.” may be composed of pieces produced overseas but assembled domestically).
The first blog in this series covered products under $5. This chapter addresses promotional items priced between $5 and $10—the types of products given out more liberally than most promotional items but not typically as table giveaways at trade show events.
Future chapters blogs will cover corporate gifts priced between $20-$50; high-end executive gifts priced $50 or more; and a discussion of popular retail brands that are produced in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.A.: Items Between $5 and $20
Branded promotional products in the $5 to $20 price range are commonly purchased by marketing departments because they are cost-effective enough to be considered budget-friendly but are high-end and useful enough to be valued and kept by recipients. The nicer the gift, the less likely it will be tossed.
There is a fairly wide range and variety of products in this price range—everything from drinkware to wearables to houseware items. The variety means you can be more creative and find items that help you really express your corporate brand.
The following brandable products, all priced between $5 and $20 and produced or assembled in the U.S.A, are typically given to employees as part of a corporate program, to leads after a successful meeting, or to existing customers. “Low as” prices shown are the per-unit cost for large quantities.
