Picking The Right Swag
There are so many ways that swag can be done. That’s why we love it so much! From pens, to paddle boards, there is no limit when it comes to custom branded items, but understanding why certain items are more attractive is important. Check out some of our favorite categories of swag.
Useful Everyday Swag
A lot of the time the best swag is something that people can use in their everyday lives without it even being intentional. Things like a Pop Socket or Phone Wallet that make mundane tasks more enjoyable or accessible are great examples of swag that doesn’t need to try hard to make an impact.
Blankets, mugs and other swag that is useful around the house is also a great idea. There is nothing like a truly wonderful blanket to snuggle up with on chilly evenings and we all have our favorite fancy mugs that we reach for first in the cabinet to start our days off right.
Eco-Friendly Swag
It’s really hard to go wrong with offering swag that makes a difference. Taking a “regular” item and making it sustainable is a really attractive asset for a buyer and we are more inclined to want to buy the sustainable option over the “regular” one. Offering products like recycled reusable tote bags or water bottles made with a mission are hard to resist.
Health and Wellness Swag
In the remote-first world that we are living in, it is important for everyone to be putting some extra focus on their health and wellness. Making an extra effort to exercise, get outside and do things that fill up your cup is so important. Offering swag that promotes healthy activity is helping people get one step closer to taking those steps to take care of themselves. Offering fun swag like custom sneakers or yoga mats encourages people to be active. A custom self care kit is also a great way to promote wellness and relaxation in between those busy work days.
Office/ WFH Swag
No matter if your office is a cubical or your childhood bedroom, having custom work gear always makes the job a little more enjoyable. Notebooks, desk organizers and branded pens and pencils are a great way to spruce up your desk, regardless of where it is.
Apparel
Apparel is the first thing a lot of people think of when they think “swag,” and you would think “you can’t go wrong.” Not true. You can. Because so many people rely on T-shirts, hats, socks and sweatshirts for their swag, it can be hard to stand out if you are doing the same thing everyone else is doing. That’s why it is important to pick high quality brands and products when you are choosing apparel for swag because you want to be a ‘wear to the grocery store’ shirt, not a ‘go to bed’ shirt.
On-The-Go Swag
We’ve all got places to be- now more than ever it is so easy to work from anywhere, which means we are always on the go! Offering high quality travel bags or backpacks make bringing work with you that much easier. And in an age where all headphones look identical to each other, it’s impossible to mix up custom branded headphones with someone’s *bland* white ones.
