Giveaways and freebies are great fun because you get to spread brand recognition and goodwill all in one go. Are you looking for a few unique ways to use the new promotional mugs and tumblers you just ordered? Get creative! This quick guide will help you get started with a high impact gift-based campaign.
The Classic Goodie Mug
A quick recipe for an easy corporate gift: take your favorite logo-decorated coffee mug, put a few useful goodies inside, wrap with a bow, and voila! Now you have a fun and inexpensive gift with a pretty presentation. You can fill your gift mugs with the recipient’s favorite candies, handy office supplies, or whatever fits the occasion.
Goodie mugs are perfect for any occasion when you need to give something promotional but also personal. They make great placeholders at sponsored events, or you can hand them out for employee birthdays and anniversaries. Keep a few goodie mugs on hand to give out if a valued customer stops by to chat.
Cold Weather Kit
Holiday party raffles, sponsored giveaways, and other wintertime events mean that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to offer up seasonal promotional material. Cold weather kits are a fun way to boost brand awareness by making sure people are drinking hot cocoa and spiced coffee out of mugs branded with your company’s logo.
A promotional cold weather kit might be as simple as a company-branded coffee mug stuffed with hot cocoa packets, or you could go all-out with a fully branded thermos kit and gourmet soups, or please your high-end gift recipients with etched brandy glasses and a fine bottle.
Summer Cool-Down Pack
Is your company sponsoring a charity run, sports game, picnic, or summertime business trip? Make sure your promotional drinkware is in-season. Put away the coffee mugs and thermoses and switch to refillable water bottles and sporty travel cups. Insulated tumblers work great for iced coffee and smoothies, and steel bottles with carabiners are great for travelers and adventurers.
Make your promo special by giving away sporty drink mixes, branded summer apparel, sunscreen, branded hats, etc. You can tailor your promo pack to fit any summertime event that calls for high-impact promotion – everyone loves cool freebies on a hot day.
Organic Tea Gifts
Need a special promo for a health oriented market segment, or a luxurious present for somebody with fine taste? A selection of loose-leaf teas in a gift basket gives your company a chance to show off that higher-end promotional drinkware.
Glass works best for tea-themed promotions. Check out the nice selection at DrinkBranders.com to see what we mean – whoever receives one will want to use it for years to come. The models with built-in tea diffusers are especially great, and give your logo a particularly powerful and interesting presentation when the bottle is used with pretty flowering teas.
Perfect Party Supplies
Some companies thrive by showing off their fun side. Whether you need to put together a placeholder for a celebration or need grab-bag supplies for the upcoming office party, there’s always room for some promotional drinkware. Your logo could go home with every attendee! The best part about this strategy is that there’s always something to celebrate.
Consider commemorating extra-important events with custom drinkware made just for the occasion. Event-themed promos are a great way to get your customers to remember the important things your business does within the community, or show a business partner how much you appreciated working with them on a notable joint project.
Use Your Favorite Mugs as Inspiration
Do any of the cups in your cabinets have happy memories attached? Are any of them effective conversation-starters? Use them as inspiration when you’re ordering your next batch of promotional wares. Which brands do you take to work and play? Keep them in mind when you’re browsing your favorite branding catalogue. Everybody has a favorite mug – make sure your logo is on it.
