Summer Living Swag Ideas

At the start of every season I round up my favorite swag ideas that go perfectly with the weather, seasonal activities and events, such as lip balm, sunscreen and t shirts. As we roll into summer, I want to step it up a notch and discuss swag that fits more into the gift arena, things that make summer living more enjoyable. These items will help you build your brand awareness and elevate the perception of your brand and company.

Did you know we can put your logo on hammocks? Rest assured we can! (See what I did there?) A fun item for in store giveaways, golf tournament prizes or corporate gifts, what is more relaxing than kicking back in a hammock with a good book and a cold drink? Add your logo to the carry bag or the pocket on the side. Or contact us for more information on adding you corporate logo or brand on the body of the hammock for even more brand awareness. Imagine giving out hammocks at an outdoor festival where people are also camping. Your brand would literally be hanging from the trees for everyone to see.

Adirondack Chairs are perfect promotional items for beverage or food companies, giveaways for raffle drawings, prizes at the company picnic and make a fantastic centerpiece for in store promotions. Choose from classic styles or a more modern feel. And if you want to add even more fun, add on a footstool, cooler or a different shaped back. From a one color logo to a full color imprint all over the chair, we will get creative to help you design the perfect lounging spot.

What is summer without nights spent around the fire pit with friends? Your logo will be laser etched on both sides of this fire pit, ensuring durability and long lasting visibility for your brand. Excellent gifts at the company picnic, for events throughout the summer and for in-store promotions. Think of all the happy times everyone will have sitting around roasting marshmallows and hanging out around your logo fire pit.

Name brand coolers, such as this one from Igloo, offer name brand recognition and higher value to your promotions. Coolers are a perfect summer item and putting your logo on one that is more durable means it will last longer and be the go-to cooler. Give your brand more visibility and give yourself a better ROI on your marketing dollars. We offer many name brand coolers including Igloo, Coleman, RTIC and more.

Call or email us today for more ideas on summer swag for giveaways, company events, product launches, in store promotions.

Three Things You Need to Know about Power Banks

Over the years in this industry I’ve seen many new items come along- items that no one knew they needed…until they used them.  Power Banks are definitely one of those items.

Practically everyone has a smart phone.  All you have to do is look around and you see heads down staring at that screen- in line at the grocery store, in restaurants, even walking down the street.  We can’t seem to live without them.  I’m just as guilty.  When I see that battery getting low and I have nowhere to recharge I start to panic.  I mean, what if I have an emergency and need to google the answer to some random trivia?  Luckily, this is where the fabulous mobile phone charger comes to the rescue!

Power Banks come in a wide range of prices and with a variety of options, making them an ideal giveaway item for trade shows, corporate branding and employee gifts- they are one of our top swag items as they work for the vast majority of demographics.

Before you buy these promotional items, make sure you understand three of the most important things to look for (and if you don’t want to read the blog, watch the video here):

1. mAh (milliamp Hours) is basically the power of the battery.  The higher this number, the more times you will be able to charge your devices (phone, tablet or even computer) with one charge of the power bank.  A 2200 mAh should charge your smart phone one time.  When you get up to 8000 mAh or 10,000 mAh, you will be able to charge your phone approximately 3 times or you could charge a tablet.  Think about what you want the recipient to use the power bank for.  For an insurance company, a 2200 mAh could be the perfect promo to promote being prepared for emergency situations.  For a company with a large “road warrior” staff, a 10,000 mAh would help make sure they are always fully powered up.
2.  Output.  This tells you the speed at which the power bank will charge.  The higher this number the faster the charge.  The 8000 mAh with a 5V 2.1A output will charge my phone to just over 90% in about 35 minutes.
3. Safety Certification.  Not all power banks comply with UL certification.  While they may be a few dollars cheaper, the dangers and risks are not worth the money saved, not for the people you will be giving these to and not for the negative publicity your company could receive.  If you are shopping on our website and aren’t sure, just ask and we will provide you with all the safety information.

After these key considerations, it is time to choose the style, features and options you want.

Let us know how we can help you select the perfect power bank to showcase your logo and market your brand.
