Promotional Marketing for the Travel and Tourism Industry
Travel and Tourism professionals like their swag.
Your job is to bring national conventions, sporting events, tournaments and tourists to your area. You know that a well-placed promo item with your city and its logo splashed across it just might be the difference between whether Chicago or Portland is picked for a 25,000-attendee conference.
While yes, budgets and overall capacity plays a big role in which cities attract conventions, it is the details that planners appreciate. They also like their swag giveaways.
Not convinced? Have you seen the swag the country's leading convention cities send to multi-association events? Buckets full of assorted swag for planners to take with them are common.
USB drives promote your destination
Logotech has Travel Tourism Flash Drives for tourist boards, hotel chains, cruise lines and adventure travel destinations.
Instead of handing out a blank USB drive emblazoned with your city logo, think about what you can put inside those drives to add value. Convention floor layouts, hotel availability, venue photos, video tours, and links to outside restaurants and special event spaces are a great way to ensure everything planners need is in one spot.
Inviting groups of travel agents to your city? Give them promotional flash drives loaded with everything they might need to know about booking tour groups.
Custom shaped USB drives are likely to sit on a desk, too. Recipients may even pass the drive on to other planners they know because it was so helpful to them.
If you operate an adventure travel venue, you are probably selling clients video and photo of their excursions. USB wristbands are a favorite of zip lining, canopy tours, and diving and fishing tour operators. It's quick and easy to put the photos and video on the drives so clients can have them immediately.
Promotional giveaways for travel
Looking for other giveaways and gift ideas? We have also expanded into any promotional giveaway and swag you can think of. We can source branded tschockies for your hotel or attraction's gift shop, including t-shirts, outerwear, glassware and confections.
Custom sunglasses are also a popular giveaway for many destinations and event planners. No matter what part of the country you are in, the traveling public needs to protect their eyes. We have many affordable options for promotional sunglasses you will be proud to hand out at conventions, conferences and other events.
Premium tech Thank You and vendor gifts
Sometimes you want or need a slightly better gift for your vendors, agents and partners throughout the year. Technology gifts, be that wireless speakers or wireless chargers, are very popular. They are also very well-used.
Wireless chargers and combo wireless charger/power banks are a brilliant thank you gift idea. Manage a boutique hotel? Make these an option for guests who have racked up stays, or to agents who help direct travelers to your location.
Business travelers often need power banks. Giving custom power banks to high-value accounts, branded with your logo, can make an impression to not only that customer, but everyone they come in contact with while using it.
Sustainable giveaways
If your city is working to convey a green, sustainable image, consider reusable and sustainable giveaways for your promotional campaign.
That can include custom sports water bottles, laundry bags, collapsible metal straws with a carry case, and biodegradable business cards.
Reusable water bottles are always a good bet as many people are working to get away from single-use plastic. A drawstring bag is a great giveaway for travelers to stow their dirty laundry in. USBs are also a green option because you don't have to print papers that may just be tossed — you can load all of that collateral material on the drives.
