How to Choose a Promotional Product for Your Next Company Event

Spring brings a sense of freshness and light that you only feel after enduring a long winter. It’s as if the energy shifts and people are eager to clean, purge, open the windows, and enjoy the sunny days. It is similar in business. That same energy is felt no matter the industry. People are ready to get out and network, close on a deal, and dive into new, creative ideas. With the excitement of spring comes company outings, sponsorship opportunities, and business networking events. These events almost always need company donations and gifts.
When selecting a promotional product for your next company outing or sponsored event, follow this simple tip to make sure your brand and message is a sure hit.
Always consider the type of event and understand your audience.
This is extremely important when choosing a promotional gift to donate or giveaway. We always ask our clients what type of event they are planning a promotional item for and what are the goals/marketing initiatives with this item. For example, when you think of golf outings or employee appreciation cookouts, drinkware is always a good option. Logo’d tumblers and water bottles make sense on a golf course. Our Haven 16.9 oz double wall 18/8 stainless steel tumbler or Contigo Ashland 2.0 water bottle make great options to give to every participant in your outing.
Along with spring events, there are many opportunities for donations and sponsorships. These types of products usually are given away during a raffle. We usually suggest our technology category for prizes. The Cylinder Shape Speaker or Glide Ergonomic Gliding Wrist Rest are two options to add into any raffle.
Finally, we can’t forget about apparel and headwear. Make sure your employees and customers are decked out in logo’d apparel for any spring event they attend! Here are some of our new spring apparel and headwear that any logo will look great on!

So now that you have chosen your item, it’s time to think about the design. We get asked often how to utilize the product and design to maximize exposure and message. Our quick response: get creative with the design. Choose an item that gives you a good imprint size. For events, it is completely acceptable to have a catchy, fun phrase. These events are made to be relaxed and inviting. The best part about working with our team is that we can help you bring your company’s personality out for any of these events.
