What Branded Swag is Best for Summer?

The sun has been shining, the flowers are beginning to bloom, allergy sneezes are abundant, and the mosquitos have come out of hiding inflicting itchy bug bites on us once again so you all know what that means; summer is coming!

With summer right around the corner, employees and customers alike have vacation and sunny weather on their minds, which makes it a perfect opportunity to show your appreciation with the right promotional item. Whether it is for a golf outing or a BBQ party, branded corporate gifts are a fantastic way to show your gratitude for your employees and customers while simultaneously gaining brand exposure for your business. It’s a win-win!

CS Designworks has put together a list of classic summertime events that your employees/customers are bound to partake in during the upcoming months and which promotional products (or branded “swag” as the kids are calling it these days) you might want to give out.

For Golfing Outings, Try:

Sun Visor/ Hat

Branded hats are one of the top American trends in promotional giveaways; the number of impressions a branded hat can gain in its lifetime rivals many other types of promotional “swag”. With a whopping 3,136 impressions for one cap (that’s right, you heard me. That’s just for one cap), a branded hat for your next golf event will be a great opportunity for exposure as well as protecting the recipient’s head and eyes from the glaring sun.

For Sports Events Try:

Maxi Mini Fan

Sports events can be a blast…until you realize you are left to sit in the blistering summer air next to thousands of other hot, sweaty bodies (too graphic? Sorry, but it’s true). That is when your business comes to the rescue by providing your employees and/or customers with branded portable mini fans. This cute, compact, and handy fan will be a lifesaver at not only sport events, but also any other time the receiver is stuck out in the heat. Recipients will thank your company every time they pull out their fan branded with your logo.

For Marathons Try:

Sunscreen Stick

We all love the sun but it can do a number on your skin if you are not careful. A sunscreen stick is a great item for those who are active outside during the summer and will provide them protection in a pinch. A compact and convenient sunscreen stick will be a summertime favorite for branded swag! This summer promotional item is a must because it’s practical and fits perfectly in a small beach tote or purse.

For Picnics, Try:

Cool-it Insulated Cool Bag

An insulated bag will serve recipients well by keeping beverages and food cool while they are on the move. A bag with multiple storage compartments that can preserve all of your tasty snacks is perfect for any picnic. Bags aren’t too shabby when it comes to gaining impressions either. In fact, one bag can receive 5,772 impressions, making them easily the promotional item with the largest impact.

For BBQs, Try:

Promotional Drink Koozies

Keep your summer beverages refreshingly tasty with a drink koozie; this popular promotional item is great for any outdoor party or event. They can easily fold into a purse or pocket for convenient carrying. Koozies will keep your recipient’s beverage cool while they are enjoying their warm summer days.

For the Great Outdoors, Try:

Folding Event Chair

Whether it’s a tailgating, camping, or any other outdoor event a folding event chair is a great and useful item to own. After a long day enjoying the outdoors, these screen-printed folding chairs will be the talk around the campfire.

For the Beach Party Try:

Promotional Beach Towels

What place is more synonymous with the idea of summer than the beach? And what better promotional item can you provide your employee/customer with than a customized beach towel. Branded beach towels are effective summer promotional items for pool parties or beach getaways alike and will surely make an awesome gift they’ll use all summer.
