SPLASH OF COLOR

Stand out in a crowd of drab colors and capture the fun of summer with bright and colorful promotional products that happily showcase your brand. Color is a powerful way to associate your brand with certain feelings and it can help you capture the essence of a bright and vibrant season like summertime. When putting together summertime promotions, don’t be afraid to play with color in your product selections. Two ways to do that are through selecting products that have deep colors to choose from or by having vibrant full color artwork put together for your items. If you don’t have an in-house design team, we can help, we are a full service marketing agency that can not only help you select great products, but create the artwork that goes on them.

GET COOKIN’

Break from the indoors and take your brand outside with outdoor grilling essentials. Activities like grilling out with those closest to you are great self-care activities that help your employees and customers recharge after a long winter. As they fire up the grill for their next socially distant cookout, give them branded grilling essentials to help tie your brand to these special memories. When putting together the perfect grilling gift for your next initiative, think about the tools they’ll need, but also consider complementary items like food gifts, speakers and drinkware that they can have by the grill side. Whether you are putting together an outdoor themed promotion or are re-imagining your next company cookout, we can help put together the perfect package.

PLAY SAFE

Proudly help your customers and employees play safe wherever their next summertime adventure takes them. Personal protective equipment provides a great opportunity to keep your brand front and center, while showing the world that your company cares. Personal protective equipment has evolved rapidly over the past year and now includes a host of products outside of just masks. While putting together your PPE offering, try to think of products that compliment and go well with masks like mask holders and cinch sacks. Also, keep in mind the environment your customers and employees will be in. With many events this summer going outdoors, bringing chairs and other seating options so you can maintain social distance will be important.
