Since its founding in 2003, Movember has become one of the most well-known health initiatives, using fun and creative approaches to engage communities and make a significant impact on men’s health. This upcoming November, your company can also get involved with this cause using promo products. Tangible items serve as wearable or functional reminders, helping to keep the focus on men's health. Additionally, by offering exclusive, customized merchandise, companies can motivate employees and customers to participate, donate, and spread awareness, enhancing their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and strengthening their reputation as a socially conscious organization.
Drinkware
Think about personalizing items that are frequently used in the workplace, at home, and during commutes that facilitate daily visibility of the campaign. Products like mugs, water bottles, and tumblers make a great choice as they are often used in different settings, but always remain visible on countertops, desks, and tables. Add a quirky mustache design or slogan like “Grow a Mo, Save a Bro!”, “Stache for Cash”, or “Mo’ Than Just a Mustache, It’s a Movement!". You can set up a fundraiser at your company and sell these personalized products or put them up for auction to donate the proceeds to charity.
Cell Phone Accessories
Movember is a campaign that receives a lot of online traction, making it a popular topic of discussion on social platforms during November and the months after. You can capitalize on this by customizing some cell phone accessories that encourage people to continue the conversation online. Options include phone holders, chargers, wallets, and stylus pens. Add hashtags, websites, and QR codes to your imprint where people can find more information about the cause. Encourage recipients to take a selfie of their mustache and share it on their social channels to continue increasing awareness about this important issue.
Apparel
You can also show appreciation for anyone who pledges their support for the cause by gifting them a product they can hold on to for a long time. Branded apparel continues to be one of the top categories of promotional products due to its immense staying power. ASI reports that promotional outerwear is kept by recipients for an average of 16 months, with 47% of them keeping the item for 2 years or longer (ASI Report). Hats, hoodies, t-shirts, and other wearables are perfect for getting the public accustomed to an organization or cause. As long as the recipient still has a use for the product, the message will continue to receive exposure which in turn helps garner additional support for future events.
From spreading your message to engaging the public, branded products play a key role in bringing attention to a particular issue.
