The cheapest giveaway is the one that goes in the hotel bin. Measured by days of use per dollar, a charger beats a pen, a tote and a stress ball by a wide margin, and a bamboo charger carries the brand story without a word from the booth staff. Here is what works and how to run it.
Ranked by days of use
- Bamboo wireless charging pad: lives on a desk for years. The best cost per day of use of anything we make.
- 5,000mAh bamboo power bank: used on the trip home and every trip after. Needs the battery paperwork for the show venue if shipped by air.
- Bamboo phone stand with charger: visible on video calls, which is where the logo earns its keep.
- Wheat-straw earbuds: high perceived value, strong for tech audiences.
- Bamboo USB hub: for IT and engineering audiences.
Tiered giveaways
Most exhibitors run two tiers: a low-cost item for every visitor and a charger or power bank for qualified leads who complete a demo or a meeting. The second tier is where bamboo tech belongs; it also gives booth staff a reason to ask for the badge scan.
Booth logistics
- Ship to the venue or the show contractor four weeks ahead; power banks need Class 9 handling if they fly.
- Order 10 percent more than the lead target; the hero item runs out on day two.
- Display one unit charging a phone on the table. A working demo outperforms a stacked box.
- Print the booth number and a short URL on the insert card, not just the logo.
Timing
Production takes 15 to 25 days after proof approval plus shipping, so order 10 to 12 weeks before the show for sea freight, 6 weeks for air. Chinese New Year and the October holiday add two to three weeks; check the MOQ and lead time guide.
The full range is in the wholesale catalogue; quote a show pack and we will price the two-tier combination as one order.
