Promotional Frisbees Basics

Learn about custom frisbees and how to use them with your promotions

If you're planning a summer promotion or a special event that has a beach theme, a promotional frisbee could be the perfect giveaway. Frisbees are fairly inexpensive as far as promotional products go and they are sure to get used time and time again.

Frisbees are also great for your company if you provide services to dog owners. Who can resist Fido walking up to them with a frisbee asking for a quick game of catch? When people reach down to throw it, guess what they see? Your logo! Before you order your custom printed frisbees, you have to decide which ones are appropriate for what you're trying to achieve.

1. Folding frisbees can fit in someone's pocket and are the best for sending in the mail.

2. Light-up frisbees are great for evening events and are sure to delight children.

3. Traditional plastic promotional frisbees are the best for dog owners and for most daytime festivities.

 

Look at folding advertising frisbees

Folding promotional flying discs are made of a lightweight nylon material. They take up only four inches of space when folded, but with just a quick twist they pop out to traditional frisbee size. Since they weigh so little, they are not recommended for outdoor events. Only the slightest bit of wind can carry them away. However, they are great for indoor use, since they are unlikely to break anything. They can also easily fit into mailing envelopes.
Try: Take a look at ePromos' 10.5" folding flyers. You can get them in either red, white or blue with a coordinated solid case. You can order the cases separately if you want to save some money by shopping around for your frisbees. US Imprints sells them in cases of 150 in your choice of 11 colors, and they can feature your logo. Definitely spring for the cases, as this is the only way to keep the frisbees from unfolding by themselves.

Consider advertising flying disks that light up

If you're holding an event where there will be a lot of kids, and you have the budget for it, you should definitely think about buying frisbee promotional products that light up. Not only are they visible at night, which prolongs the amount of time people can use them outdoors, they are also interesting enough that people are likely to keep them.
Try: Branders sells the Buzbee Flyer, which is a frisbee that has seven LED lights that flash with every throw. The frisbee makes a buzzing noise at the same time. For a different kind of lighting up, look at PrintGlobe's glow-in-the-dark frisbees. You can get any image you like imprinted in the middle of the disk.

Check out the traditional logo frisbee

If you just want to stick with promotional frisbees basics, you can go with traditional plastic personalized frisbees. The good things about these frisbees is that there are lots of colors to choose from and they are super sturdy. In some places they are also recyclable.
Try: Perfect Imprints sells logo frisbees in 17 colors, including basic black and white. It even accepts two-day rush orders if you need your frisbees right away. If you want to have a bright, colorful disc to be sure your logo gets attention, you may want to go with Gary Austin Advertising. These frisbees are meant to be seen and are available in colors such as neon green.
