Promotional items give your event longevity by going home with the attendees and being used over and over again, keeping your brand visible to both the original attendee and everyone they are exposed to as they use the item. There are so many exciting options available to be customized and used as promotional items today. When planning your next event, consider some of these great custom branded product ideas. Read on for some ideas that have proven to be very popular in 2023.

Customized Drinkware

Drinkware has become a sought-after promotional product. According to the ASI Global Ad Impressions Study, on average, promotional drinkware is kept and used for an entire year. This repeated use and exposure to more potential customers when the item is taken to the gym, on the road, to the office and more, gives you an excellent return on your initial investment. If you want to compare promotional items (branded corporate items) to online advertising, consider each time a person sees someone using your mug, water bottle or travel coffee cup as a view or a click. Then calculate the cost per view and you will see that the cost per impression is markedly lower.

Our experience with drinkware is that this gift is thoroughly appreciated and used repeatedly and publicly – especially in the case of water bottles. With today’s consumer focus on health and fitness, most people seldom leave home without some form of hydration for the day.

Tote Bags

Tote bags have been one of the most favored and affordable promotional items over the years. They are ideal for giveaways at expos and trade shows where potential customers will need a hold-all for all the giveaways they receive. You gain an immediate benefit of drawing other attendees to your booth to get your attractive and functional tote bag, which multiplies the exposure as more people have your branding in their hand to use after the event.

A top quality tote bag will be used over and over and probably be washed and reused for as long as the bag lasts too, so don’t skimp on the materials you use.  A quality tote bag with bold branding on it will give you years of on-the-go advertising.

Today’s tote bags can be made from many different materials including recycled materials for organizations that want their clients to know that they care about the environment. Canvas and cotton have been favorite materials for years and years.

Document Bags

It isn’t easy to find the right platform to advertise your brand in a corporate setting where offices are already filled with corporate branded items. Document bags offer a great opportunity to get brand exposure in and outside an office setting.

Document bags are ideal for carrying documents and a few extra items you may need for a presentation or call on a client. These become mobile advertisements as people carry them from office to office in the streets and other public spaces. They are also great to hold other gifts as a customized gift set. Browse our range of document bags that can be branded with your business’s logo.

Sleep Mask

In 2020 through 2022, the COVID pandemic branded face masks gave forward-thinking businesses great exposure. Nowadays, the thought of wearing a face mask fills many people with a sense of dread. No one wants to go back to constantly wearing a face mask every where we go. In 2023, a new type of mask is making a comeback: the sleep mask. Sleep masks have become one of the hot favorite promotional products for businesses, especially when your prospects may be frequent travelers who will wear your masks to get some sleep while they travel.

Darken your sleeping space on a plane or even at home when you are battling to sleep in adverse light conditions can be a life-saver. A comfortable polycotton sleep mask worn over your eyes with an elastic headband for a secure fit around your head can help your prospects get some much needed shut-eye that will reflect positively on your business. These are really great when your team travels by air or when you are taking clients on a trip.

Adult Bibs

Custom Sport/Training Bibs are really great when you need to create a team on the go. Perhaps you want different staff in your business to be easily identified by your customers. Perhaps you want to differentiate your sales staff from your shelf-stocking staff or your customer service staff from your maintenance staff. Custom Adult Bibs can really help differentiate different teams within your business.

Or, perhaps you want to create teams for a softball game (or other activity) at your company picnic where everyone arrives to the event dressed differently. Custom Sport/Training Bibs are the perfect solution to make a team look like a team in this situation.

Your logo, branding image and colors can be digitally printed on custom adult bibs which can be used for any team. Made of lightweight and durable polyester, these adult sport bibs have a two-piece elastic waistband to make them one-size fits all, simple to put on and take off without a need for privacy and comfortable to wear.
