How to personalize your keychain with AHK?

  • the shape: rectangle, square, round, oval…;
  • the design: fantasy figurine, animal, 3D, or abstract pattern…;
  • the dimensions: the choice of size and thickness is free;
  • color: colorful or sober;
  • material: metal, PVC, synthetic leather, cork, silicone, wood…;
  • inscription: choose the message to put on your promotional item;

What can be inscribed on a custom keychain?

A corporate gift is primarily a promotional item designed to convey a message to your target audience. A personalized keychain is, therefore, an excellent way to communicate about a specific subject, an event, or a brand. Use your promotional item to tell your audience your own story. For this, AHK offers to inscribe on your order messages that resonate with your values and make your item unique. Thus, it is possible to add to the keychain:

  • the name of your company;
  • a logo;
  • a slogan;
  • a striking word or a motivating term;
  • a photo or an image;
  • a short quote;
  • an important date...

What marking techniques can be used to create a personalized keychain?

Personalizing a keychain is primarily an opportunity to create a unique item that will be the mini spokesperson for a brand. The marking method for the promotional item is therefore essential to meet the needs of customers properly. The choice of rendering and the emotion that the company wants to evoke in its prospects can then define the personalization method. AHK uses several techniques to create custom keychains adapted to the various expectations of its clients:

  • engraving;

  • laser;

  • enameling;

  • printing...

How does the personalization process work?

You personalize your promotional gift according to your tastes and constraints. Have fun with colors and materials, choose original patterns and messages, select the shape and size that suits you to create a striking and 100% unique promotional item. Our team consists of:

  • sales advisors who quote your keychains with you,
  • then our design team creates mock-ups to determine the characteristics and costs.

Each personalized keychain is unique and requires specific work.

Which model of personalized keychain to choose?

Choosing the exact model of your personalized keychain is not always easy. Your decision should primarily reflect the tastes of your current or future clientele. For example, if you're looking to attract laid-back companies or if you want to capture the attention of innovative and energetic startups, you might opt for original promotional keychains.

These promotional gifts can be presented in the form of fun figurines, playful engravings, or more abstract representations. The materials used to create these promotional items will also define the type of message you wish to convey. Foam, plastic, felt, and silicone will easily suit pop custom goodies, targeting a young adult audience and modern companies. Wood, metal, resin, alloy, aluminum, or stainless steel may appeal to clients targeting a more traditional audience attracted to more understated and sophisticated objects.

Also think about the needs of the planet and go green! If you want to convey values that meet more environmentally friendly standards, favor natural materials like wood or felt, or durable ones like the various metal promotional items offered by AHK.

Planting a tree for every promotional item order placed through one of our distributors with AHK starting in February 2020 is the commitment we are making this year, in partnership with the French social enterprise MYTREE (www.my-tree.com).


1 ORDER = 1 TREE PLANTED

We aim to plant over 8,000 trees by the end of 2020, an eco-responsible initiative that we want to associate with our distributors and their clients.

Luxury Keychains: Value Your Clients, They Deserve It!

Want to convey values of sobriety and prestige to your clientele? A personalized keychain in a sophisticated style is the perfect promotional item for a high-end audience.

To make an impact and gain the trust of your prospects, choose materials like metal or wood and favor clean lines and dark tones. To effectively choose your personalized gift, AHK offers you a consulting and support service to help you make the right decision and find your ideal promotional item. Every personalized goodie you order results from meticulous work that allows us to offer you items with effective and striking designs. We pay attention to your values and those of your clients to develop a true object communication strategy together.

Thus, a client who receives a luxury keychain feels valued. For them, it is a subtle pride that accompanies them daily and symbolizes the special relationship they have with the company. For the distributing firm, it is an effective way to properly thank a loyal and appreciative client.

AHK also offers other high-end promotional gifts, such as personalized medals, badges, or military insignia.

Original Keychains: Why Create a Personalized Marketing Object?

Expanding your clientele with a personalized keychain—what a great idea!

Indeed, the strength of a communication strategy through objects lies in offering unique and original promotional materials. AHK understands the importance of creating customized solutions tailored to each client's needs. Often, promotional gifts distributed by companies serve no real purpose for the client, as their design is dull and the message they convey is not sophisticated enough.

To avoid the pitfall of a promotional goodie that is quickly tossed in the trash or forgotten at the bottom of a bag, AHK is committed to offering well-crafted, high-quality items that provide real utility to their owners.

As a result, an original keychain can catch clients' eyes and pique their interest. What could be more unique than a personalized gift featuring a specific logo or message? However, to subtly remind prospects of the special connection they have with the company, one must innovate.

Thus, AHK, your wholesaler of original keychains, offers various designs and materials to help you imagine an extraordinary object. The different techniques used to engrave your message (laser, engraving, enameling…) allow the final output of your creation to be tailored to the specific requests of each client.

For even more originality, you can also opt for multifunctional keychains: bottle openers, carabiners, contactless keychains...

To capture the eye and attention of your target audience, it is essential that the object is well-made and visually effective. To achieve this, prioritize customization. When an item is unique, it is much more likely to intrigue its owner. Tailored to their tastes and needs, it becomes the perfect little cherished item—a kind of talisman that evokes positive emotions associated with the distributing company of the item in question.

To stand out from the competition and offer a truly bold and surprising object, also consider adapting the personalized keychains to various important events and times of the year for consumers:

  • Father's Day;
  • Mother's Day;
  • Valentine's Day;
  • Christmas;
  • Baptism;
  • Important company anniversary...
