Must-have promo swag

Nothing says success like a giveaway that flies off the shelf. These customers’ promo item ideas were real winners that recipients couldn’t wait to get their hands on.

• “We purchased 100 of these stuffed alpaca with our logo on the bandana. This past weekend was National Alpaca Farm Days. These little guys flew off the shelf as souvenirs for the event! Thanks 4imprint! … ” — Shae
• “We had the Stanleys^® made for our yearly manager meeting. Everyone loved the slimmer size of the 30oz (vs the standard 40 oz). I even caught a few trying to sneak extras! We also purchased the Micro Mesh UV Performance Polo for our management staff. They both came quickly and the quality was great!” — Charisse
• “Last year's custom MSOE Brew Pub Glass for our Oktoberfest celebration was a massive hit! As a highlight of Homecoming weekend, we had alumni, families, students, and faculty lined up to get their hands on this commemorative item. It was the must-have piece of memorabilia and the perfect way to toast to Raider pride.” — Isabelle
• “We went to a Conference in Oslo, Norway, and our pens were being taken and used faster than we could stock them! Having these pens helped us get our awareness up significantly.” — Laura

Promos that provide a boost

Our customers know that greatness runs on proper hydration (and snacks)! That’s likely why they selected products to keep their audiences fueled up and ready to seize the day.

• “Duff Tuff mascot Penny was worn out after a couple miles up and down the beach at Silver Lake Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan. Luckily we had plenty of turkey packed for her and us in our cooler bag!” — Suzanne
• “We will be using the fanny packs as a gift to all participants at our annual charity golf tournament. We will be filling them up with snacks and waters, as well as branded golf balls to use on the course. The bags are venue safe as well, so they can be used when our participants attend concerts or sporting events, giving it a second purpose after the initial event!” — Sarah
• “The Tampa Bay Kennel Club hosts 2 of the largest dog shows in the South each January in Florida. The handy water bowls will make sure the show dogs stay well hydrated!” — Helena
• “Keeping hydrated [using insulated mugs] @ Pho Alpha Theta.” — Jessica

Gifts to offer a warm welcome

Whether providing a friendly greeting to new clients and employees or showing recent tenants you’re glad they’re home, these customers know how to roll out the welcome wagon.

• “We give [portfolios] to all of [our] new Real Estate agents. They love them! There is a spot for business cards. Notes, pens. It holds a lot [of] things our new agents need!” — Sharon
• “We use our customized grocery tote for our new tenant welcome bags. They love them!” — Jill
• “All new clients receive a bag with Hershey Kisses^® with our logo and a business card. A little treat for the client.” — Debbie
• “We use these bags for noteworthy moments: onboarding new hires, presenting to collaborators at events, etc. These two are loaded with goodies to say ‘thank you’ to some special folks. The quality is great, so people are apt to keep and use them. The embroidered logo helps spread the word about our organization.” — Suzanne

Items that impress at events

When it comes to events, standing out from the crowd is key! These customers know how to use promotional products to make their presence known.

• “We used the banner to have our ‘home base’ stand out at our recent Rock the Block event. RTB is a neighborhood revitalization effort where volunteers help complete beautification and exterior home maintenance projects, at no cost to the homeowner. It encourages all neighbors, homeowners, and community partners to work together in the yard, having fun to make a difference.” — Kathy
