Event giveaways for sampling and street teams
Activation teams need items that are light to carry, quick to hand out and useful enough to keep. Pens, stress balls and trolley token keyrings fit in a pocket or sampling tray. Cotton shoppers give people something to carry samples home in, and the bag keeps working as a walking advert afterwards. See branded cotton shopping bags and branded stress balls.
