I'm looking to purchase some promotional material to include with my packages when I present the product to my clients. I'd like to find something that they would likely keep long-term and have displayed around their home, with the hope that someone would ask for the name of their photographer and if they don't remember immediately, they know where to go to find it.
I considered photo frames. But the nice ones are can get expensive. And I'd like to keep the cost to $5 or below, so that I can possibly distribute them to interested parties at trade shows.
The only idea I have come up with is a magnetic photo frame with the middle being a cut-out magnetic business card, and the outer frame (4"x6") has my website or contact info along the bottom or sides.
Can anyone think of anything else? Anything that they would possibly hang on to for an extended period of time?

I'm not sure about the photo frame idea - that's just a magnetic business card!
You need something unusual and attractive if you want people to keep it.
By trade shows - I am guessing that you are giving to brides/grooms - not others in the trade.
Why not look around a really nice little keepsake - maybe an ornament. Your bride and groom will be building up their home so look in this area. You can buy some nice stuff for under $5 if you buy wholesale. Then arrange to have them engraved/stamped etc with your name and telephone #. If this is not possible then buy some very good quality gold labels from a stationary shop. Print them off and stick them on the ornament - where they can be seen but are not obtrusive.
Your want to gather the "that's nice" comment so that people will keep them. I have used Cameron Macintosh pieces in the past as well as coffee jugs. You just need to be a little inventive.

Another good idea is a mini-photo album with your company's name imprinted on it.
Give them 2 - put a coupon or certificate in it and ask people to pass one on to family or friends and get a discount - referrals are the best.

You might consider wallet sized prints from the customer's wedding with your business card printed on the back. Provide them with enough to give them to all their friends.
