Keychains

Keychains are one of the most common souvenir and advertising items.Keychains are commonly used to promote businesses.A standard advertising key chain will carry the businesses name and contact information and often a logo.In the 1950s and 1960s, with the improvement of plastic manufacturing techniques, promotional items including keychains became unique.Businesses could place their names on promotional keychains that were three dimensional for less expensive than the standard metal keychains.Keychains are small and inexpensive enough to become promotional items for larger national companies that might give them out by the millions.For example, with the launch of a new movie or television show, those companies might partner with food companies to provide a character keychain in each box of cereal etc.
