How to Choose Quality Promotional Products for Every Budget
Many businesses assume high-quality branded promotional items will break the marketing bank. We are busting that myth wide open!
When it comes to branded apparel and gear, you have tons of options. You can give employees or clients a truly lovely and usable gift for the holidays or as a token of appreciation. And the best part is these items can fit any budget.
Let’s look at some of our most popular options.
Canvas jackets are a fantastic client gift or for employees who are working outdoors during the cooler months.
The Carhartt Duck Traditional Coat has a quilted nylon lining with arctic-weight polyester insulation. This coat is top-of-the-line.
Another option is the CornerStone Washed Duck Cloth Chore Coat. This one costs less than Carhartt but is warm, durable, and looks great with its corduroy-trimmed collar and flap chest pockets.
Everyone loves a hoodie! The North Face Skyline 1/2-Zip Fleece is soft, and warm and provides plenty of stretch for active days. Plus, it’s made from recycled fabrications.
Or, if you want to save a little, choose a Bella+Canvas brand of hoodie. The Sponge Fleece Pullover comes in a variety of colors and is super duper soft. It has a kangaroo pocket and rib knit cuffs and hem.
Give clients, customers or employees a versatile 3-in-1 outdoor coat they’ll never want to take off.
For a top-of-the-line option, go for the Eddie Bauer WeatherEdge jacket made with water-repellent technology and weather protection. Plus, the waterproof shell and soft shell inner jacket can be worn separately if needed.
If the Eddie Bauer option hits the top of your price range, choose the Port Authority all-weather jacket and outsmart cold weather. This great-looking coat has a fleece inner jacket and removable hood.
Give a trendy, yet uber practical, gift. With a canvas duffel, you don’t have to worry about sizes and you know everyone will put this duffel to good use.
The Brooks Brothers Wells Duffel works for a weekend getaway or as an overnight tote. It’s a classy cotton canvas with leather trim and details.
A comparable, budget-friendly option is the Port Authority cotton canvas duffel. With a classic style and faux leather trim, this duffel can clamp down to fit small loads or unclip to accommodate more cargo.
If you have extra money in your year-end budget or know your best customers are drawn to brand names, then name-brand items are the way to go. One thing to keep in mind with name-brand promotional products: The high-end brands typically include their own logo so you may need to choose an alternative spot for your own company logo.
You can pick the budget-friendly option without sacrificing on quality. Plus, those choices usually have more color and size options than the name-brand items.
But, wait, there’s more! Here are two more awesome promotional product ideas that won’t break the bank:
- Contigo chug chill. This 20-ounce double wall stainless steel bottle keeps beverages super chill and at a price point that’s less than a Yeti or other name-brand bottles.
- Explorer. This 12-ounce double wall stainless steel thermal mug has a synthetic cork base.
