Promotional items

Corporate gifting orders are often timed to a conference, launch or year-end date — tell us the date when requesting a quote so we can confirm turnaround before you commit.

Promotional items in Kenya: choosing gifts people will actually keep

A promotional item earns its cost only if people use it. A pen that is lost within a day does little for your brand, while a mug on a desk or a tote bag carried to the market keeps your name in view for months. When you search for branded corporate gifts in Nairobi, the real task is matching the item to the audience, the event and the way you want to be remembered.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based business. You can order promotional items together with your uniforms, and see examples and sample items at our shop in Kasarani, Nairobi before you decide.

Matching items to occasions

Branding methods for different items

• Mugs and bottles: sublimation gives a full-colour, wash-resistant print on coated items. See sublimation printing.
• Pens and notebooks: pad print or screen print for a logo and contact line.
• Tote bags and umbrellas: screen print for bold logos.
• Caps and jackets: embroidery for a premium finish.
• Large-format: banners and displays are covered under signage.

Each item has its own print area and surface. Mugs need artwork that wraps around; pens allow only a thin line of text. We tell you the usable print size for each item when you request a quote.

How to keep a gift budget sensible

1. Decide who the item is for and how many you really need, including a spare allowance.
2. Choose fewer, better items instead of many cheap ones that get thrown away.
3. Keep the design to one or two colours when you can.
4. Order early. Rushed jobs near December, graduation or conference dates limit your choices.
5. Ask for an itemised price list so you can compare per-item costs.

Common mistakes with branded corporate gifts

• Putting a long message on a small item. A logo and one short line read better than a paragraph.
• Ignoring the recipient. Executives, students and field staff value different things; match the item to who receives it.
• Forgetting contact details. Add a phone number, website or social handle so the gift can bring you enquiries.
• Skipping a check of the item. Always approve the artwork layout for each product, because print areas differ.
• Ordering gifts for one event only. A consistent gift line across events saves repeated artwork work, since we keep your files on record.

If you serve customers in several regions, such as Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu, ship the gifts directly to your regional offices to save handling at head office.
