Preferred Promotional Items (with Tried-and-True Picks)

Corporate Clothing

Custom apparel remains a top performer because it’s worn again and again—on site, in the office, and out in the world. For a polished look, consider a classic golfer like the Maxima Golfer (Men’s) or the Maxima Golfer (Ladies). Pair apparel with a quality cap such as the Dad Cap for extra sun protection and everyday impressions.

Hats and Visors

Headwear is practical and stylish—ideal for events, outdoor teams, or giveaways. A well-made cap (like the Dad Cap) complements uniforms and offers a generous branding area.

Tote Bags & Drawstring Packs

Totes become “walking billboards” and are kept for years. Great everyday options include the 140g Cotton Tote Bag and the Recycle Bag. For events, a lightweight sack like the Altitude Andes Non-Woven Drawstring Bag is easy to hand out and easy to carry.

Office Supplies

Even in a digital world, notebooks and pens top the “most used” list. Keep your logo in view with the Exec A5 Notebook or the A5 Deluxe Treasury Notebook & Pen Pack. Pair them with a reliable writing instrument like the Venus Ball Pen for a cohesive desk-ready set.

Lunch Bags and Coolers

Coolers see frequent use at work, on weekends, and at events—delivering repeat impressions. Consider the compact Foldz 6-Can Lunch Cooler, the versatile Clifton 22 Cooler Bag, or the spacious Austin Weekender Cooler Bag for outdoor activations.

Drinkware

Drinkware is used daily—at desks, in cars, and at home—making it a prime branding space. For hot drinks, try the JBZ Slaker Double-Wall Ceramic Mug. For hydration, mix styles to suit your audience: a premium glass option like the Kooshty Pura Glass Water Bottle (500ml) and a durable on-the-go bottle like the Altitude Sigma Tritan Bottle (700ml).

Tech Handy-Upsell (Optional)

Slip in a useful tech extra for VIP kits or event packs—something like the sleek Lipstick-Style 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive—to elevate perceived value without breaking the budget.

Making the Right Choice for Your Brand

The best promotional items balance utility (kept and used often), quality (reflects well on your brand), and relevance (fits your audience and activity). If you’re unsure where to start, combine a wearable (e.g., golfer or cap), a carry item (e.g., tote), and a daily-use desk set (e.g., notebook + pen) for broad, repeat exposure.
