Hello from Goencha! When preparing to exhibit at a trade show, one thing you'll want to have ready is promotional giveaways! Many exhibitors find themselves wondering what to offer visitors who stop by their booth or what kind of gift might help introduce their products and services. Ideally, you'll want something eye-catching that visitors can continue to enjoy after taking it home.

At Kyoto Gyokuro no Goencha, we can create tea gifts featuring original packaging filled with Japanese tea from Kyoto! Add your company logo or product name, or create a design that matches the theme of your exhibition. With a little creativity, the possibilities are endless! In this article, we'll share tips for choosing practical exhibition giveaways and introduce some of our favorite products from Goencha!

Our lucky charm-inspired tea gifts are also a great way to leave a lasting impression on visitors!

3 Things to Consider When Choosing Exhibition Giveaways

Trade shows bring together many companies, each with its own exhibition booth. Choosing the right promotional giveaways can help attract visitors' attention and encourage them to take an interest in your company. Here are three things to keep in mind when selecting your gifts.

1. Choose a Size and Weight That Are Easy to Carry

Trade show visitors often walk around the venue and visit several booths. That's why it's best to choose giveaways that fit easily into a bag and won't be a burden to carry around.

Compact, lightweight items that visitors can comfortably accept are generally more convenient than large or heavy gifts.

2. Choose a Design That Makes Your Company or Products Memorable

Promotional giveaways can also help visitors become familiar with your company and products.

By incorporating your company logo, brand colors, or product imagery into the design, you can make it easier for recipients to remember where the gift came from.

Illustrations or messages that reflect the exhibition's theme are another great option. Consider a design that makes people want to pick it up!

3. Choose Something Visitors Can Use or Enjoy in Everyday Life

If you're giving away promotional items, it's nice to choose something visitors can enjoy after returning home. Practical items such as stationery and reusable shopping bags are popular choices, but sweets and beverages are also great options!

Tea, in particular, can be enjoyed during a break at work or while relaxing at home. It makes a thoughtful giveaway that may remind recipients of your company long after the exhibition has ended.

Why Tea Makes a Great Exhibition Giveaway

There are many types of promotional giveaways, but tea has several advantages. Let's take a look at why we recommend tea, along with some of the unique features of Goencha's products.

Thin, Lightweight, and Easy to Take Home

At trade shows, visitors often collect catalogs, brochures, and giveaways from different companies, so their bags can quickly become full. Tea bags can be packaged compactly, making them convenient for both exhibitors to distribute and visitors to carry.

Card-style tea packages are especially thin and lightweight. They're ideal for handing out together with brochures or other printed materials.

Add Your Company Logo or Message

One of the appealing features of tea giveaways is the opportunity to customize the packaging design.

You can reflect your company's identity by including your logo, product name, service information, or a QR code linking to your website.

Creating an exhibition-exclusive design or incorporating your brand colors can make the packaging even more memorable.

Keep Your Company in Mind Even After the Exhibition

The value of a promotional giveaway doesn't end when it's handed out.

Recipients can enjoy tea at the office or at home. When they prepare a cup, they may remember the company or product they discovered at the exhibition.

Tea gifts made with Japanese tea from Kyoto also offer an opportunity to share the distinctive appeal of Japanese tea and Kyoto's tea culture.

5 Exhibition Giveaways Recommended by Kyoto Gyokuro no Goencha

Here are five tea products from Goencha that we recommend for distributing at trade shows and exhibitions.

1. Custom Greeting Tea Featuring Your Company Logo or Product Name

Our first recommendation for exhibition giveaways is Greeting Tea with custom packaging.

Greeting Tea is one of Goencha's signature products. Each package is approximately the size of a business card and contains one tea bag. It's a lovely little gift that can be handed out as a greeting or a message card.

With custom packaging, you can incorporate your company logo, product name, service information, and other elements into the design.

For example, you could create a simple design featuring a large company logo or add an illustration of a product being introduced at the exhibition. A thoughtful design can help recipients remember which company gave them the tea.

Its thin, lightweight packaging also makes it easy to hand out at your booth.

2. Large Card-Style Tea Packages with More Space for Information

If you'd like to share more information about your company or products, why not consider our large card-style tea packages?

These packages are wider than our standard card-style products and can hold two to three tea bags.

The larger packaging provides space for your company logo, service information, QR codes linking to your website, and more.

It's a great way to share information about your company while giving visitors a tea gift they can enjoy.

We especially recommend this option for exhibitions where you want to introduce products, promote campaigns, or communicate other important information.

3. Hakocha: Memorable Tea Gifts in Palm-Sized Boxes

If you're looking for a giveaway that feels a little more special, boxed tea is another great choice.

Goencha's Hakocha comes in a palm-sized paper box containing three tea bags. You can personalize the outside of the box with an original label or decorative band.

You can also choose the box color, making it fun to create a design that matches your company's brand colors or the exhibition theme.

Compared with flat card-style packaging, the box has a more three-dimensional appearance and makes a stronger visual impression. It's a good option when you want to prepare a slightly more special gift for valued customers or potential business partners.

4. Greeting Tea: Share a Message Along with Your Tea Gift

If you'd prefer to choose from existing designs, our standard Greeting Tea collection is another wonderful option.

Goencha's Greeting Tea comes in a wide variety of designs. From animals and seasonal motifs to messages of appreciation and our ER series inspired by different recipients, there's plenty to enjoy just by looking at the packaging.

For exhibition giveaways, why not choose designs featuring messages such as "We Look Forward to Working with You" or "Thank You"?

These ready-made designs have a friendly, approachable charm that's different from fully customized packaging featuring a company logo.

They're also a convenient choice if you'd like to start handing out tea giveaways without creating a completely original design.

5. chayori: A Tea Letter for Following Up After Exhibitions

For people you've exchanged business cards with at an exhibition or those you'd like to contact again afterward, our tea letter "chayori" is another lovely option.

chayori is a postcard-style tea gift that can be mailed with a 110-yen stamp. Each one contains two tea bags, allowing you to send tea together with a personal message.

It's perfect not only for handing out at exhibitions but also for sending thank-you notes after an event or following up with potential business partners after a meeting.

A tea letter offers something a little different from an ordinary thank-you card. Why not use it to turn the connections you've made at an exhibition into opportunities for further communication?

*When sending chayori by mail, please check the actual dimensions and weight of the product and confirm the required postage.

Make Your Exhibition Tea Giveaways Stand Out with Custom Packaging!

At Goencha, we care not only about the tea inside but also about the packaging design. If you're preparing tea giveaways for an exhibition, here are a few design ideas to consider.

Simple Designs Featuring Your Company Logo

A design centered around your company logo and brand colors is ideal when you want to communicate your corporate identity. A clean color scheme and well-organized typography can create a professional look that reflects your brand.

Designs Featuring Illustrations of Your Products or Services

Another option is to use illustrations or photographs to showcase the products or services you're introducing at the exhibition. Consider a design that helps visitors understand what your company offers at a glance.

Designs Incorporating QR Codes

Adding a QR code linking to your website or product information page is also a great idea. At exhibitions, it isn't always possible to explain everything to every visitor. A QR code gives recipients an easy way to explore more information after the event.

Exhibition-Exclusive Designs

Limited-edition designs featuring the exhibition name, date, or event logo can also be appealing. They create a sense of exclusivity and serve as a memento of the event.

At Goencha, you can discuss everything from customizing existing designs to creating completely original packaging for your company. Even if you haven't decided on a specific design yet, we can help you explore options that suit your needs.

Things to Check Before Ordering Exhibition Giveaways

When preparing promotional giveaways for an exhibition, there are a few things worth confirming in advance.

Decide How Many Items You’ll Need

Estimate the quantity you'll need based on the expected number of exhibition visitors and the people you plan to give the items to. The number will vary depending on whether you're handing them out to everyone or only to visitors who have business discussions at your booth.

Consider Your Budget and Packaging Type

Promotional products vary in size, contents, and packaging specifications. Would you prefer compact card-style tea gifts that are easy to distribute, or boxed tea gifts that feel a little more special? Choose the option that best matches your budget and intended use.

Allow Enough Time for Production and Delivery

If you're creating custom packaging, you'll need to allow time for design confirmation and production. It's best to contact us well in advance of the exhibition date.

Production requirements at Goencha vary depending on the order quantity and packaging type. Please contact us in advance with your preferred delivery date, quantity, and design ideas so we can discuss the available options.

Conclusion

Exhibition giveaways are more than just gifts for visitors. They're also an opportunity to introduce your company and products. When choosing promotional items, consider how easy they are to carry, their design, and whether recipients can enjoy them in everyday life.

At Kyoto Gyokuro no Goencha, we offer a variety of tea gifts for exhibitions, including custom Greeting Tea, large card-style tea packages, Hakocha boxed tea, and chayori tea letters.
