10 Funniest Promo Products








Often, the best promotional products are those that make people laugh. They may be silly or small gadgets and serve little or no purpose but if they manage to elicit a laugh from someone, they're actually being very effective promotional products. Funny promotional products work very well in-house within a company. You can use them for staff promotions and incentives, to show appreciation for work done, or to reward employees for reaching a target. When using funny promotional products for customers, the humor should be obvious so there can't be any misunderstanding of your promotional intentions to simply make your customers have a giggle.


Here's a quick list of some of the funniest promotional items around:


1. Throw Ball Alarm Clock

Most people would love to throw the alarm clock against the wall when it wakes you from your beauty sleep in the morning. Well, now you can. This funny alarm clock switches off when you throw it. You don't even have to worry about breaking it in the process. It's a great way to start the day feeling victorious and no doubt, it'll paste a smile on your face too.

2. Banana Safe Box
This seemingly silly promotional product is actually very useful. A hard plastic case that protects a single banana ensures that you never have to eat a bruised banana at work or in the car again. The case is designed so that most average-sized bananas will fit into it. It has tiny ventilation holes to ensure that the fruit doesn't sweat and ripen prematurely. This would be a perfect gimmick for an insurance company where you could use a tag line like, "if it's important to you, we'll protect it."

3. Singing Elvis Mug

Sure to be the entertainment of the office, this singing mug will serenade you with Elvis's "Love me Tender." Perfect for when you are having a really bad day at work or simply need to lighten the office atmosphere. To activate the singing, simply lift the light-activated sensor mug. You could link the mug to a Valentine's Day promotion, or give it to clients or employees on their birthday or work anniversaries to let them know they're appreciated. You could also use it very effectively to launch a new flavor of hot chocolate, for example.
4. Funny Golf Balls

If you are tired of giving golfing executives boring golf gifts, this silly gift is sure to make them laugh. A set of three different gimmick golf balls will provide stacks of laughs on the golf course. The exploder simply blows up in a cloud of powder when you try to hit it. The jet streamer blows out a ribbon into the air, and the unputtable simply never goes straight.

5. Foot in the Door

A bit of a tongue-in-cheek promotional product, this is an elaborate door stopper fashioned in the shape of a brightly colored high-heeled shoe. Use it for an office sales incentive as a way of saying, "By working towards this incentive, you could see yourself moving up in the corporate world." Alternatively, you could use it to welcome a new staff member, especially if they are upper or middle management. Often there can be tension when new management is brought in, and some subtle humor like this can help ease the transition.

6. Funny Face Door Hangers

Used on hotel room doors, these funny face door hangers replace the usual boring "do not disturb" signs. The hangers have faces pulling a range of silly expressions and are sure to get a laugh from even the most serious of clients. You can use this product to promote a wide range of hospitality gifts. For example, at your hotel, you could have a "stay for two, get the third night free" campaign in your off-season. You could also run a joint promotion with one of your suppliers such as having gourmet coffee machines in the room, or a specific type of towels or linen. You won't take away from the prestige of the products by using humor, and clients are certain to remember the promotion.

7. Swiggies

Perfect for if you are running a promotional campaign on health and fitness, Swiggies are water bottles that you don't need to carry. They simply strap around your wrist so you can drink while you are on the go, running, walking or even driving. They come in bright colors and would work perfectly to promote a sports drink, fruit juice or brand of bottled water. They would also be great for corporate team building or if you have a company sports day.
8. Cartoon Branded Mouse Pads and Promotional Gifts
Create your own cartoon and have it printed on mouse pads, for example. The cartoon can also be printed on other items such as coffee mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, etc. Use it to promote a sales incentive or special campaign within the office.

9. Goofy Pens

Some of the simplest yet most effective promotional products, these goofy pens come in a wide range of bright colors and have funny faces on the ends. The faces have a mop of brightly colored hair and wear silly expressions. They can be adapted for almost any promotional campaign.

10. Promotional Tea Bags

Ever wanted to have tea with a celebrity? Well, now you can. These caricatures of popular figures rest on the side of your tea cup holding the tea bag in place.
