Promotional Keychains: Multi-function Key Chains Double the Chances Your Customers will Remember Your Name

Promotional key chains are the second most popular promotional product in the world. Businesses invest in them more than most every other kind of promo for a number of reasons. Multi-function key chains which serve dual purposes are even more likely to be used by a receiver, effectively doubling the chance that the receiver will remember you.

Promotional key chains are relatively inexpensive, making them highly affordable even for the smallest of businesses. Promotional key chains are also compact. This means that they often cost less to ship than other promotional products. Because they are so compact, it's easy for a business owner to carry a handful or even an entire box of them around with him/her. This way, he/she is prepared when the opportunity arises to make a business contact and hand one out.

Business owners who want to spend a little bit more on a "luxury" promotional product can still do so with promotional key chains. Silver, gold and chrome promotional key chains are tasteful and elegant, and still have all the convenience and practicality of ordinary key chains.

Business owners and managers who want to ensure that their promotional key chains have the maximum advertising impact should consider investing in multi-function key chains. A multi-function key chain is one that does more than provide a place to hold keys together. A key chain that does more than one job is twice as likely to get used as an ordinary promotional key chain.

There are literally dozens of options to choose from when it comes to multi-function keychains. Some of the most popular include:

* Key lights/flashlight key chains: Promotional key chains that light up are frequently used by children and adults alike. They provide a convenient way to carry a light around, and are handy for unlocking doors at night or in dark parking garages. Children love them simply because they are fascinated by light. Most are very easy to work, requiring only a squeeze or other very gently pressure to turn on or off. Many are equipped with LED lights and therefore will last for a very long time without burning out. Key lights are also excellent for traveling, camping and hiking.

* Bottle openers: These are particularly popular with campers and hikers. However, they're great for every day use too. The bottle opener goes wherever the keys do, including the beach or on a picnic or anywhere else someone might find the need to crack open a cold drink. Those who don't use them to hold keys will usually put them in a kitchen drawer for home use or in the camper for use on trips.

*Compass/stopwatches: Runners, campers, hikers and backwoodsmen love these kinds of multi-function keychains. Compass key chains, especially those with carabiner-style clips, are simple to clip to a belt loop or backpack for handy travel. Stopwatch key chains are often appreciated by athletes like bikers and runners and easy to carry while participating in a sport.

Other handy multi-function key chains to consider include whistles, calculators, coin holders and digital picture frames. Promotional key chains like these will help imprint the name of your business on the minds of the receivers. The more often they are used, the more likely the user will be to remember you and your service(s). You'll be certain to get more bang for your promotional product buck.
