Choose safe, quality items when you buy wholesale personalized toys

If your business serves a particular age group, make sure that the toys are age appropriate and safe. Look for items that are constructed well and won't potentially injure anyone by falling apart under normal use.

I recommend: Coloring books or kits can be a great promotional toy if your business focuses on younger children. Beach bucket kits are also kid friendly and make a unique promotional item, particularly if your business is near the beach.

Look for unique logo toys that will set your business apart

Many businesses use promotional items, so you need to think about how to set yours apart. Opt for unique, fun promotional toys whenever you can. Individuals will like playing with the toys and the more they do so, the more they'll be reminded of your business.

I recommend: Music downloads have become increasingly popular. Get a quote on promotional music cards that offer free music downloads to your customers. Try one of the fun promotional ideas from Branders. Put a new twist on the Rubik’s cube by having your logo on one color.

Put your business logo or contact information on the wholesale personalized toys

This may seem like an obvious step for some, but many businesses give away prizes or toys and fail to include their business information anywhere on the toy. If you're giving something away, make sure your logo or business information is included on the item if at all possible so you get the most exposure possible.

Give promotional games and puzzles away for active fun

Many games are suitable for both kids and adults. These can make great promotional items because they have greater appeal and will have a greater likelihood of getting used. Some of these items are also different and unique as well, which can help set your business apart.

I recommend: Use an electronic Sudoku game with your company logo as a raffle prize or other promotion. You can find promotional games that are inexpensive and fun for the whole family.
