What changes the price

Stretching your budget

If your budget is fixed, decide whether you need more pieces or a better piece. A trade show crowd usually calls for an affordable item in volume, while clients and VIPs remember a quality item you give to fewer people. Many clients split the budget: an inexpensive giveaway for everyone and a premium gift for key contacts. See trade show giveaways by budget for specific picks.

Prices are typical ranges, not quotes. Pricing changes with supplier costs, and every order gets its own quote so you know the full price before you commit.
