As the dust settles after a busy holiday season this gives us the opportunity to look back on objectives to see how we have fared. If you are a business owner and sent out branded products as holiday presents for clients and employees, by now you may have heard some feedback from recipients about the gifts. Perhaps you hit the nail on the head and your marketing campaign was a success, or perhaps you are having second thoughts about your product selection. In either case, providing products that can be kept and used beyond the holidays is a great way to increase brand awareness. In today’s blog we will be taking a look at some holiday branding ideas that are useful throughout the year. If you sent out these items last December that’s great news! Otherwise, you can always redeem yourself and make them part of future promotions!
Mugs are a holiday favorite but also great for any season. Whether it’s hot cocoa, tea or coffee, everyone can make use of a branded mug and they can never have too many! They are a great addition to any home office desk, or work area and can be used to demonstrate appreciation for team members’ hard work. As part of the original gift you can stuff it with candies and holiday treats, but once the festivities have concluded, the many alternative uses of mugs will help keep your logo visible on the recipient's desk for months - and potentially years - to come. With a growing number of people working remotely, this is a great opportunity for business owners to create a sense of team culture, and thank clients for their support.
Make your impression last with shiny glass! The holidays are the perfect opportunity to send out corporate gifts which can be used at future events to entertain guests. Glassware is versatile and suits a wide range of company profiles looking for an elegant gift that will be kept for a long time. We have beer, whiskey, and wine glasses to help keep your brand relevant as recipients enjoy their favorite beverages year round. Special occasions, anniversaries, birthdays, etc are all opportunities for these branded products to be used, giving your brand exposure regardless of season.
Other branding ideas suitable for entertaining guests and keeping around the home after the holidays include cheeseboards, breadboards, and cuttingboards. Gifting bamboo products has an added bonus as they are environmentally friendly and can be used by companies, charities and other organizations to support these eco-friendly initiatives. Recipients will have endless opportunities to use these whether it’s to cut meats on a summer barbeque, or serve their finest cheese on a winter night, your logo will remain visible during all social functions.
These are just some of the products that we have found to have great staying power. Their versatility, elegant appearance and ability to make impressions in different settings make these branded gifts good vehicles for keeping your brand in the spotlight all year long. Plus, they are not limited to holiday promotions. All of these products make good presents for a number of occasions.
