Throwing shades of green
From green initiatives to green promotional products, these customers found success going green.
- “We held a volunteer appreciation party on Earth Day. We added a hand-written thank-you card and treats to the mugs and gave them out as favors. The volunteers LOVED these mugs—as do our staff members. They are large, weighty and appeal to our nature-loving friends. Love the pop-of-spring lime color that works so well with our logo. 4imprint staff was super! Thank you!” — Laura
- “District 3 (PA) USA Section International College of Dentists/ICD Editor Dr. Karin Brian couldn't wait to break out her new event swag [cap]—the perfect shade o' green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!!” — Bernadette
- “We offer mint condition cameras and mint condition mints.” — Joshua
- “We used the product[s] [pens, cups and grow kits] to get the community involved with environmental activities.” — Jacob
Filling their cups
Drinkware is a versatile option for any promotion. These customers made a splash using glasses, cups and mugs at events, in gift baskets and more.
- “We are making both items available at our Space Center. The black campfire mug has our 2025 mission and turned out beautiful. Our frosted pint glass is a great way to promote exactly what our center does, tests all engines. Our employees love them!” — Tim
- “We're using these fantastic bar glasses [old-fashioned and stemless wine glasses] as promotional materials for our restaurant! We add them to wine baskets as prizes for trivia nights!” — Bradly
- “The summit cups were given to all our Little League sponsors of $1,500 and above. The red cups were sold in the concession to be used as refillable collectors’ cups for the whole season. To help support one of softball players who has leukemia, we raffle off a basket with both cups and a #MorganStrong T-shirt.” — SanJuana
- “Our radio station had these cups made for Polka Fest in Ripon, WI. They were a HUGE hit with the customers, and we will always use 4imprint for our orders. A HUGE shoutout to our sales rep Brooklyn who made this possible for us.” — Brad
Topping things off
From trucker hats to caps to beanies, there’s a hat for any head. These customers used them spread the word, fundraise, keep employees warm and more.
- “New hats for employees—last time we got them in white and grey—this time black and grey, and everyone loves them. Fit is good and everyone is happy.” — Ian

- “We bought your hats to sell at a fundraiser for the rescue we run, Ohio Basset Hound Rescue! Our Bassetfest is our biggest fundraiser each year and aside from auctions, raffles and basset races we sell our calendars, shirts and NOW HATS! Hoping these help us raise some money to help hounds in need!” — Valerie
- “Love my ‘Clam Beanie’! This is what [we] nicknamed our warm comfortable hats at ReClam the Bay! We use this hat with our logo embroidered on it to spread the word about all the great things ReClam the Bay volunteers are doing to help our New Jersey bays!” — Fran
