Believe it or not, the promotional products you select for your next event or campaign can have a large effect on whether or not your initiative is successful. Rather than disregarding the value of promotional products to cut costs, or choosing an arbitrary item without much thought, we’re here to tell you what to keep an eye out for by sharing the top promotional products in 2013 — items that are sure to have a lasting impact in the future as they relate to a shift in corporate culture.
According to Inkhead, a promotional product company, these are the in-demand promotional products of 2013:
1. Drinkware:
Definitely attributed to the trend of reusable products and other environmentally friendly initiatives, 2013’s favorite drinkware includes: Infuser Drinkware; Spill-Proof Drinkware; Tervis Tumblers; and Filtered Drinkware.
2. Houseware:
Food containers have also increased in popularity due to the burgeoning trend of using custom food containers for home-packed lunches. In addition, you can never go wrong with tailgating supplies as those items will appeal to any dedicated sports fan.
3. Apparel:
Clients and corporations alike are partial to polyester/cotton apparel and trimark apparel. The perfect promotional product for your next weekend retreat or community gathering, you can never go wrong with clothing that signifies a membership to a cause or group of people. Furthermore, this promotional product is a Boca Terry specialty in which our polyester and cotton bathrobes are typically in demand for corporate parties, events and other special celebrations. We even offer custom design and embroidery in order to make each initiative different from the rest. Just check out what we did recently for the Hilton hotel group’s IPO!
4. Technology:
A little on the steeper side, but still favorable as mobile accessories and USB drives are necessary for connecting with your consumers and staying in sync with your work life.
5. Full-color products:
Regardless of which product you choose to go with, it’s a general rule that bright, colorful products will be a big hit among the receivers of promotional products. Aside from usability, it’s important to offer a promotional product that leaves a memory in your customers or employees minds.
