Any product that supports mobile phone use presents a great branding opportunity. That’s the message from this year’s PPAI Expo, where mobile phone-related promotional products were plentiful. Here are some of my favorites:
3-In-1 Tech Pack – Unless you handle your cell phone with gloves on, after a while you see more fingerprints than screen. The Galaxy screen cleaning cloth comes with a stylus and carry bag for $2.99 and the Delta Stylus Pen with Cleaner runs $1.49 to $2.99. Once a phone user gets used to a clean screen, the cleaners – and the promotional message they carry — come out on a regular basis.
Silicon Smart Wallet – Silicon Smart Wallets carry up to three credit cards and protect cell phones from nicks, dings, scratches and other indignities. Available in an array of attention-getting colors, Silicon Smart Wallets provide one of the largest promotional spaces in the mobile phone category for only $1.35 – $2.25.
Blue Tooth Speakers – Blue Tooth speakers provide amplified sound from a cell phone up to 300 feet away. They allow people to listen to cell phone music –and view promotional messages imprinted on the top and/or side of the speaker — in small groups. Available in sizes as small 2.25″ x 4.25″ x 1.5″, Blue Tooth Speakers are tiny billboards, from $24.98 to $36.88.
Lens Kits – Shoot photos from your mobile phone that look professional! The MA20 lens kit consists of wide-angle, close-up and fish-eye lenses that attach to your cell phone and expand your photographic capabilities. Snapping onto a universal clip, the kits fit most phones and tablets at a cost of $22.20 – $23.67.
Remote Photo Snap – The MA21 Remote Photo Snap lets you take pictures without touching your phone. The remote comes with a free app for iPhone and Android and a stand that holds the phone so you can take your own photo. A smaller button allows you to reverse the camera’s aspect and take photos from the other side, all for $15.78 – $18.32. All that’s left is to say, “cheese!”
Cell Phone Poppers – Cell phone poppers are collapsible stick-on cones that provide a place to wind your ear-bud cords, a better grip for gamers and selfie photographers, a better viewing angle for movie watchers and video chatters, and a highly visible branding opportunity seen by thousands. At $2.95 – $4.95, Cell Phone Poppers deliver a lower cost-per-impression than most promotional products.
Surge Protector – Charging cell phone, laptops and other equipment through unprotected hotel electrical outlets can be risky, not to mention a hassle when you have multiple electronics to charge simultaneously. Promotional power chargers with surge protection provide users with peace of mind — the perfect mental condition for brand promotion. Costs range from $10.58 to $20.95.
Power Bank 500 – Charge up your promotion with a power bank! A must-have phone accessory, this mobile power supply is use to provide a memorable promotion at a great price! At 2200mAh, this power bank is ideal for charging your mobile phone or Bluetooth mobile accessories. Use with your device’s own USB charging cable.
