Whilst campaigns run all year round, Summer brings a host of colour and freshness, that allows brands to get clever with their marketing activity. During the warmer months, events and shows have a much greater footfall, leaving brands exciting opportunities to expand their reach.
Promotional Products are fantastic at generating brand awareness, and if used contextually they can have a significant impact in sales. For example, we wouldn’t hand out stress balls out at the beach, but we might consider a beach ball like that of Nivea’s which became synonymous with seaside holidays for more than 60 years.
Check out some categories of promotional merchandise before diving into our top ten suggestions for your next summer marketing campaign!
Cooler bags – an incredibly useful item for days down on the beach, cold beers, family picnic etc, with a large canvas for your brand to boot!
Water bottles – incredibly useful, everyone has one and if they don’t they always get passed on. Drinkware has an incredibly shelf life, even way after Summer!
Speakers – Everyone loves tech, a great USB charging speaker will be a talking point, something that will get taken everywhere!
Travel Accessories – from eye masks to bum bags, these are the life saving travel essentials and will be carried onto planes, trains and automobiles. Great for brand awareness.
