# Maximise Your Promotional Products Budget

<strong>You get the most from your [promotional products](/reklamne-predmety/) budget by splitting it</strong>: a smaller portion on premium gifts for key clients and a larger portion on quality, affordable items for a broader audience. In practice, a ratio of roughly 70/30 works well.

The goal is not to buy as many units as possible, but to achieve the greatest impact per contact.

  <ul>
    <li>Define your goal first: acquire clients, strengthen the brand, or reward loyal customers.</li>

    <li>Always ask for a price that includes print, setup, and delivery.</li>

## Step 1: Set Your Goal Before Choosing a Product

First, clarify what the gift should achieve: attract new clients, strengthen the brand, or reward loyal customers. A different product suits a trade show with hundreds of visitors than one designed for ten VIP partners. The goal determines the product and the budget - not the other way around.

## Step 2: The 70/30 Strategy

A proven split looks like this:

| Budget portion | Audience | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| ~30% | key clients | quality, personal impression |
| ~70% | broad audience | practicality, number of impressions |

This approach lets you impress your most important contacts while still covering a wide target group.

## Step 3: A Transparent Supplier and Samples

Ask for a price that includes print, setup, and delivery so hidden costs do not catch you off guard. For larger orders, request a sample or a small test run - you can verify the material quality and logo accuracy before investing in the full series.

A cheap item that breaks is ultimately more expensive than a quality one that lasts for years. We are happy to help you put together a mix that gets the most out of your budget.
