Trade Show Giveaways & Conference Swag That People Keep

Full-color logo table covers for a trade show booth

The Source is a promotional products distributor in North Richland Hills, Texas, that helps exhibitors and event planners across Dallas-Fort Worth choose trade show giveaways and conference swag with their logo. We cover everything from low-cost booth handouts to premium gifts for qualified leads, plus booth staff shirts, table covers and printed pieces. The Source has been in business for 13 years, and owner Lee Sambol has 30+ years in the industry.

The best giveaway is one people take home and use, so your name is still in front of them after the show. Tell us about your booth, your audience and your budget, and we'll suggest a mix that fits. The same approach works for corporate conferences, association meetings, job fairs and community events.

How many giveaways should we bring?

Start with the show's expected attendance and how many people your booth can realistically talk to. Many exhibitors bring a larger quantity of a low-cost handout for everyone and a smaller quantity of a premium item for qualified leads. If it's a show you attend every year, tell us what ran out last time and what came home in boxes, and we'll adjust the mix.

Can you ship to the venue, and what about rush orders?

We ship nationwide, so your order can go to your office or to another address you give us, such as the venue or the show's advance warehouse. Tell us the show's shipping deadlines when you order. Turnaround is usually about 1?4 weeks after proof approval, depending on the item, the decoration and the quantity, and rush options are available on many products. Minimums depend on the item and the decoration method. More general answers are on our FAQ page.

Frequently asked questions

What trade show giveaways do people actually keep?

Useful items such as tote bags, quality pens, tumblers, chargers and lip balm tend to be kept. A small premium item for qualified leads often works better than a large quantity of cheap handouts.

Can you ship giveaways straight to the venue or hotel?

Yes. We ship nationwide, so your order can go to your office, the venue, a hotel or the show's advance warehouse. Tell us the show's shipping deadlines when you order.

How far ahead should we order trade show giveaways?

Order as soon as you have your show dates. Most orders take about 1?4 weeks after proof approval, and rush options are available on many items.

Can you also provide booth shirts and table covers?

Yes. We supply matching staff apparel, logo table covers, displays and printed handouts, so one contact handles the whole booth.

What should we give qualified leads?

A premium item such as an insulated tumbler, a power bank or a quality quarter-zip works well for qualified leads, while a low-cost handout covers everyone else who stops by.

Do you serve companies outside North Richland Hills?

Yes. We serve all of Dallas-Fort Worth, including Fort Worth, Arlington, Grapevine, Southlake, Keller, Colleyville, Hurst, Euless and Bedford, and we ship nationwide.
