Tech gadgets are more popular in 2021 than ever. In 2020, the in-person (pre-Covid) CES Show, which focuses on the tech industry, was the largest trade show held in the United States. From AI capabilities to smart design, people want to feel like they’re more connected in nearly every aspect of life. This is especially true when it comes to gadgets that seem to make life easier. With products that can provide data remotely on whether or not you left your lights on at home or bio-metric feedback available at the touch of a button on your wrist, consumers crave the latest and greatest tech available. Which makes it easy to understand why tech gadgets also continue to grow in popularity in the promo industry. In fact, in 2020, more than half of consumers in the United States owned a USB drive with someone’s logo on it.

It is easy to understand why the desire for tech-related promo items is growing. Companies that give their staff smartwatches are seen as caring about the health of their employees. Businesses that send out digital notebooks to big clients are believed to be edgy and knowledgeable when it comes to high-end tech. In turn, recipients feel valued and appreciated, because they understand that these tech devices often cost more than the average single promo item, but that often makes them even more special.

These types of activities are sure to make a lasting impression that goes a long way towards solidifying your business relationships.
