Many businesses create campaigns with free give-aways without really thinking too much about the long-term uses of their products. But customized coffee mugs, pens and other items can linger for years. Some may even end up on eBay, like "The Brown Pen" by UPS which was recently up for auction for $4.95, or an antique Haines Food Service stein selling for $8.50.

I've kept the coffee mugs and fleece jacket from one of my first internships and actually wish that I had some kind of coffee mug or something from my very first out-of-town, on-my-own internship as well! I've even kept a few things that I don't really use, because you never know when you'll need a "white elephant" gift to exchange.

Once you have an idea in mind, take a moment to think about the impression you would like to create well after your campaign ends. You may put your business name on a pen, for instance; the question is, do you want it to be a high-quality pen that people will use until the ink runs out?
