To stay within the budget either a higher number of lower cost products can be purchased or fewer products of a higher value. This depends on the type of audience you are trying to target, a wider target audience will mean a higher number of promotional gifts at a lower cost. A more concise audience will mean less promotional items. At Pellacraft we stock a varied selection of promotional products that will suit your advertising budget.

A smaller item would then be better suited like a promotional pen branded with your company details.
