It’s that time of year again when companies are left to choose what promotional golf items they are going to be giving to their customers and prospective customers. Often, this sort of task will be delegated to an unfortunate person, who is given a tight budget to work to, told how many gifts are needed and expected to get the gifts ready in time, on budget and looking great.

So where are you going to start with this search through the myriad of golfing gifts available? It really depends on your company’s budget per gift. If you are working to a tight budget then there is a good range of cheaper gifts that you customers will really be pleased to receive. But if you have a larger budget to work with, the choice becomes even greater and that, I suppose, is where the difficulties start. Just where do you start your search?

For the low end budget, the standard Christmas golf gift would be the logo golf balls. These are a brilliant idea for those organising the items, not least for their flexibility. If you are on a lower budget then you can just send a sleeve of three of the cheaper brand name balls to customers. If you have a bigger budget, or are wanting to impress your customers, then a box of 12 high end brand balls can be given instead. Do you need a bit of both? Well that’s also simple, just choose which brand (or brands) to have printed up and for those you want to be more generous towards you send a full box, whereas those customers that aren’t so important get a sleeve of balls – just simply by splitting down the box into its 4 sleeves.

Other low cost golf items are available as well. There are the printed golf tees, which can be ordered either on their own, boxed or in tee bars, with ball marker and divot repair tool attached.

For those with bigger budgets to available to spend, or simply those wanting to impress their customers more, then look at the choices in promotional golf clothing and similar items. What could be better than a huge version of your logo printed onto the surface of the gift? Well this is possible using the range of promotional golf umbrellas. From basic umbrellas to fancy, almost storm proof umbrellas, your choice of umbrella is wide and varied. Best of all, it’s the type of promotional gift that golfers will keep and use when necessary. When they are in use your logo is on full display. And if you have used a clear logo printed onto your umbrella, loads of people should be able to see it whenever your customers are caught out in the rain.

Some items of promotional golf wear don’t have such obvious logos for all to see, but are excellent for making your customers feel wanted and appreciated. Golf caps are on the lower end of the price range here, and many might see them more as general giveaways for golf events and the such likes. But there are also promotional golf t-shirts, which can be an excellent giveaway as they are light and easy to distribute, either through the postal system or by giving them to customers as your reps visit them.

And returning to the keeping dry theme, there is also a great range of protective outerwear that can be imprinted with your logo and used as promotional items. Promotional golf jackets are a good high end item to give to your customers. They really do show your appreciation of your customers and are certain to be kept safely, for that next game of golf that turns out to be wetter than expected…
