Budget-friendly promotional merchandise options
Showcasing your brand for less
Let’s not beat around the bush, budgets are tight for a number of companies, industries, and customers at the moment. With the economy as predictable as the British weather, it’s understandable that some marketing budgets are going to be scaled back.
At Sycal, we’ve been providing promotional branded merchandise to companies across the globe since 1983. In that time we’ve seen recessions, booms, pandemics, and turmoil and understand the value promotional merchandise can have in times of uncertainty. So check out our most popular budget-friendly branded product and giveaway options.

Budget-friendly custom printed bags
Custom printed branded bags are a fantastic branding tool to promote your brand, organisation, or marketing campaign.
Simple and incredibly practical, custom branded bags can help showcase your logo and messaging on the go to a wide demographic of people. Whether it’s for your customers, clients, or colleagues, promotional bags are a powerful marketing tool without the big price tag.
Recent studies conducted by IBISWorld have found that custom printed giveaway bags are one of the most popular branded merchandise options in the UK, and our orders say the exact same thing. With custom branded rucksacks starting at £5.20 per unit and tote bags from £1.09, promote your brand for less this winter.
Budget-friendly pens and notepads
The humble pen is one of the original MVPs of the promotional merchandise industry. Since the 1930s, brands and organisations have been leaving their mark on branded stationery to showcase their logos.
But with almost a century of sales behind them, they still remain as one of the most low-cost effective merchandise options for helping companies promote themselves.
I’m not going to type out this blog and insult your intelligence by saying “hey, pens are quite cheap compared to other products.” You know this already. However, a lot has changed in the last 90 years and now a budget-friendly option doesn’t mean your product has to look or feel “cheap”.
Traditional custom-branded ballpoint pen options like the Spiral, the Curvy, and the Turbo, sit around the 25p per unit and offer high-quality prints of your logo or marketing message on the barrel or clip. However, if you’re looking for something that looks and feels special without breaking the bank, why not consider options like the Prince, the Crosby, or the Bowie, which offer a much more premium feel? Starting from around £1.17 per unit, these pens can feel like a real gift in the right hands. These products can also be supplied in a branded gift box.
But what’s a branded pen without something to write on? From as little as £1.47 per unit, you can put your logo or marketing message into the hands of your customers. With hardback and softcover models available from A7 to A4, check out a range of budget-friendly notebooks.
