    Company Logo Mugs/Pens/Etc - low quantity - any recommendations

    Hi All,

    I few years ago I put together a Christmas gift package for a few of my customers which worked out rather well. I was thinking of doing the same again this year.

    Does anybody have any experience of promotional gift companies who can print company logos etc on mugs and (possibly) pens which are of OK quality and ok on price but can also do low quantities (say around 20-25)?

    All the ones I have found on line have so-so reviews, or so 'no minimum quantity' but then have a minimum number in place (click bait).

    Thanks.

    I sent all my old hiring managers a mug, with my company initials/logo on

    "Ultimate New Technology", but I never got any good feedback.

      I could be wrong but IME, you'll struggle on the those low numbers as many make profit on bulk ordering, 500+, you might be lucky to get someone to do you 50+

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

        Have you tried Vistaprint?

        They were okay years back when I first set up myco.

          How does giving 'OK quality' tat out to client work well?

            Manages down their expectations for if they hire you?

            At my first proper job they ordered a couple of hundred mugs to give out to clients then promptly decided they were all tat and let the staff take as many as they wanted. Which was handy as I'd just moved into a new flat.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              How about sending them some pens?

                  I usually find that a bottle of Whisky or a couple of bottles of wine in a nice presentation box go down well.
