Why Keyrings Are Still Branding Favourites
Posted by EasyPromo on 25th Jun 2025
In today’s competitive market, choosing the right promotional item can make all the difference. While flashy tech giveaways or seasonal merch come and go, some items remain timeless. One perfect example? Keyrings. These compact, practical, and long-lasting tools are still among the top picks for brand exposure in Australia. In 2025, they’re not just a small token—they’re a powerful way to keep your business in customers’ hands every single day.
A Small Item with Daily Exposure
Unlike other promotional products that may end up in drawers or recycling bins, keyrings offer high visibility and utility. They're used to hold car keys, house keys, or even clipped onto bags—making them part of your customer’s everyday life. This regular use turns keyrings into a daily brand reminder, seen not just by the user but also by people around them.
Even in 2025, with digital marketing all around us, these simple physical items still create a lasting connection between a brand and its audience.
Different Types of Keyrings Making a Big Impact
One of the reasons keyrings continue to shine in promotional marketing is their variety. There’s a style to match every brand personality, message, or budget. Here are some popular types gaining attention in 2025:
Metal Keyrings
Sleek and durable, metal keyrings add a touch of sophistication. They’re perfect for corporate gifts, real estate handovers, or luxury branding. Laser engraving gives a clean, premium finish.
Eco-Friendly Keyrings
Made from bamboo, cork, or recycled materials, these are ideal for brands focusing on sustainability. As more Australians prioritise eco-conscious choices, these keyrings show that your brand cares.
Multi-Function Keyrings
Add practical value with bottle openers, mini torches, USB drives, or styluses. These types are highly useful and often spark conversations—bringing your brand even more visibility.
Stress Reliever Keyrings
Designed with a soft, squeezable texture, stress reliever keyrings are both fun and functional. They’re great for healthcare, education, or wellness campaigns and double as a calming tool that keeps your brand close at hand.
Plastic Keyrings
Classic and cost-effective, plastic keyrings are lightweight, easy to customise, and perfect for large-scale giveaways. They’re a staple for trade shows, schools, and local community promotions.
Leather Keyrings
For brands wanting a premium feel, leather keyrings offer a polished and timeless look. They’re often chosen for executive giveaways, automotive promotions, or loyalty rewards, with the option to emboss or deboss your logo for a subtle finish.
Cost-Effective Without Compromising Quality
Keyrings are one of the most budget-friendly promotional items, particularly when ordered in bulk. But affordable doesn’t mean low quality. From sturdy metals to polished acrylics and natural bamboo, the materials used today are made to last.
Whether you're a small business launching a local campaign or a large company planning a national giveaway, keyrings stretch your marketing spend by offering a low cost per impression over time.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest items that leave the biggest impression.
