Promotional Stainless Steel Drinkware: Why It Is So Popular

There is no doubt that the popularity of stainless steel drinkware has risen significantly over the past couple of years in the promotional industry. So why do so many people prefer stainless steel? Aside from the fact that it has a sleek, modern appearance, there are some distinct advantages to choosing stainless steel drinkware to personalize with your company logo.

Durability

Stainless steel is virtually indestructible. Reusable and recyclable, not only is it shatterproof, but it is also impact, stain, rust, and corrosion resistant! Stainless steel drinkware can last a lifetime if treated properly, which means a greater return on your investment. Custom drinkware provides a long-lasting, useable, promotional product to keep your name in front of customers.

Affordable and Economical

Stainless steel drinkware is a great investment. Because they last for years, you don’t have to throw money away repeatedly to replace them. Give one to each of your employees, customers, and potential clients to keep your brand on their minds!

You don’t have to spend a fortune and buy $40 or more tumblers for those expensive specialty cups. Many custom stainless steel tumblers can be purchased for less than $10. Comparably priced with most reusable plastic cups, they work as effectively as the more expensive ones.

Chemical Free and Safer to use

The dreaded BPA! You definitely won’t find any in stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about the potential negative effects of this reportedly harmful chemical. As a matter of fact, there are no chemicals in stainless steel, so you never have to worry about health issues like you potentially do with plastic bottles (if you are looking for plastic bottles, the Custom Drinkware Store only carries BPA-free products!).

In addition to being chemical-free, stainless steel is non-toxic and known for its antibacterial and hygienic properties, making it safe for everyone to use. And it’s non-reactive to acid, so drinks don’t leave odors, stains, or flavors behind.

Environmentally Friendly

Since stainless steel lasts a lifetime, you’re helping the environment by not adding to the incredibly high number of water bottles packing our already overloaded landfills. And when the bottle does wear out, it is recyclable.

Easy to Clean

Cleaning stainless steel is a breeze! To keep the cup looking new and lasting longer, simply hand-wash it with soap and water.No special handling is required!

Some stainless steel cups can be washed in the dishwasher,  just be sure you read the label to know if you can toss it in or if it needs to be washed by hand.

Benefits Overview

So, there you have it! Stainless steel is durable, affordable, economical, chemical-free, safe, environmentally friendly, reusable, recyclable, and easy to clean. With all of these great benefits, there are lots of reasons to consider using stainless steel drinkware to advertise your business. Available in many styles and colors, you can easily find the drinkware product you prefer to express your brand’s individual personality!

Personalized stainless steel makes a great giveaway for tradeshows and marketing events. Once the event is over, guests will take home your bottle and be reminded of your company with every use.

Kicking off the New Year with Promotional Products

The new year is often a time for rebranding, changing directions, and looking to the future. It’s also a great time to refresh your promotional giveaways. You love giving customers little appreciation gifts, but reusing the same items year after year might not be the best way to entice customer loyalty. While they might already be a faithful customer, they might appreciate something new to remind them of your company. Consider changing your promotions or even your message to keep your company fresh in the minds of your customers.

 

Retain and Gain Customers

Receiving promotional items is not only fun for the recipient, but it’s also a really smart marketing strategy. Everyone loves receiving promotional products, and it’s a wonderful way to connect with your customers and keep your brand fresh in their minds.

Using promotional products to advertise your business helps people remember your brand, which means they are more likely to choose your business over another when they are in need of your services. A good promotional product can help you engage and retain current customers, while also attracting new ones.

 

Choosing the Right Product

The key to a good promotional item is usability! You don’t want to waste money on a one-use item or gimmick; they will only end up in the trash, which does you no good. When choosing a product to represent your brand, you want to focus on items that can be used over and over again, so the customer is constantly reminded of your company and services, providing you with a solid return on your investment!

Here are a few practical and useful recommendations to help promote your brand in the new year.

 

Custom Drinkware

Growing more popular by the day, custom drinkware is one of the best ways to keep your name in front of customers. It’s something that everyone uses every day, making it one of the best ways to successfully market any brand. When selecting drinkware, you want to take into consideration the ways it can be used, of course, but you also want to be sure that it can be used by anyone at any age.

Make sure it’s BPA free, easy to use and clean, and something that will get a lot of use. Stainless steel drinkware checks off all these boxes! It’s the most versatile drinkware you can put your name on. You can use it for hot or cold beverages, and if you choose one that is insulated, it will keep them at their desired temperature for several hours (or longer!).

Stainless steel drinkware comes in a great selection of styles, so you can choose one that best works with your brand. You can opt for a travel mug, sports bottle, wine cup, tumbler, and more. Stainless steel drinkware is made from non-toxic metal without chemicals or carcinogens, and is better for you than plastic. It’s also the safest way to store water for drinking. You can keep water in a stainless steel bottle for up to a week at a time, which makes it ideal for camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. They are also environmentally friendly and can be recycled.

 

Promotional Stylus Pens

Pens are another item that is used daily by just about everyone. And with today’s technology, having a built-in stylus allows you to take physical notes while using your tablet or phone. A good stylus pen is an economical way to keep your name in front of current customers, as well as prospective clients. They are easy to store and travel with, and they make great leave-behind reminders when visiting a client’s office. You can leave a few behind so everyone in the office has a pen with your name on it.

Tradeshows are another way to distribute logo pens. You can share them with anyone who visits your table so they have a reminder of meeting you and your team to prompt them to check out your services once the event is over.

And the chances of the pen being shared with others is almost guaranteed, thereby expanding your reach even further. Think about how many pens you have lost in your lifetime and how many you have found!

 

Personalized Bags

Putting your logo on a bag is a great way to advertise. Bags get used, at home, in the office, while traveling, and while running errands. One of the most commonly used bags today is a shopping tote. Many people like to take their own bags when grocery shopping so they aren’t bogged down with a ton of plastic bags. Not only can they be a nuisance, but they are not easily recyclable and just end up in a landfill somewhere.

Additionally, a good shopping tote is like giving people a small portable billboard featuring your logo! The more usable the bag is, the more it will be seen by others as the user totes it around town while shopping and running errands.

Just remember, whatever product you choose, be sure that it represents your brand in a positive way, provides repeat exposure, and has an attractive and interesting logo, label, or message to attract people to your brand!

BPA and its Effects on Plastic Drinkware

Most everyone knows BPA is unsafe for use in drinkware and plastic containers, but do we really know what it is and why it should be avoided? Let’s take a look at exactly what BPA is, its effects, and how to avoid it*.


Let me start by saying that at the Custom Drinkware Store, all of our plastic drinkware is BPA-free, so you don’t have to worry about it when ordering from us. BPA is found only in plastic drinkware, not glass, aluminum, or stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing or using any of our products. Everything we sell is BPA-free and safe to use.


What is BPA?

BPA stands for bisphenol A, an industrial chemical which has been used to make certain plastics and resin since the 1950s. BPA is often used to make food containers, water bottles, and other drinkware in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Epoxy resins are used to coat the interior of metal products, such as food cans, bottle tops, and water supply lines.


BPA is considered dangerous, as when it is used to make plastic drinkware and containers, there is a possibility that it may leak into the food or beverage being consumed, and can cause potentially life-threatening diseases or unwanted health concerns.


Negative Effects of BPA Exposure

Research shows that BPA can seep into beverages and food from plastic containers, causing unhealthy effects for the user and their children. Health issues include problems associated with the brain, increased blood pressure, and disrupting hormone levels in infants and children. Possible health risks from the use of BPA products are numerous and include breast and prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, infertility, and miscarriages, just to name a few. It can also cause early puberty, brain and behavioral disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and more in fetuses, infants, and young children.


Information from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conflicting, and while they once stated BPA in drinkware was dangerous, have now revised their statement to state that “BPA is safe at the very low levels that occur in some foods. This assessment is based on the review of hundreds of studies.” Many scientists and consumers believe that this may not be the case.


Minimizing your Exposure to BPA

If you are concerned about the negative effects of BPA, you can take some simple steps to reduce exposure:

  • Look for BPA-free products. There are so many products on the market today, that it’s easy to find drinkware and food containers labeled as BPA-free. If you don’t see a label indicating that BPA is not used in a product isn’t labeled, you may want to avoid it. Keep in mind that some plastics marked with a recycle code 3 or 7 may contain BPA. To be on the safe side, only purchase products that are clearly labeled as BPA-free.
  • Don’t Microwave food in plastic containers. If you can’t use BPA-free plastic containers in microwaves and dishwashers, use glass or ceramic containers to prepare your food. Otherwise, the heat may break them down over time, allowing BPA to leak into your food.
  • Don’t use Plastic Drinkware. Instead, opt for glass or stainless-steel drinkware. If you do use plastic, make sure it is labeled BPA-free. Use glass baby bottles if you cannot be sure that they are BPA-free.
  • Check your Children’s Toys. Ensure that your children are not playing with toys made with BPA. Kids are prone to putting pretty much everything they pick up into their mouths, so be sure they are playing safely and their toys are not made with BPA.

 

Conclusion

In the end, it is ultimately a consumer’s belief on whether or not BPA is safe to use, but when purchasing promotional drinkware, it is probably best to err on the side of caution with BPA-free plastic bottles to ensure that ensure customers will be able to use your custom drinkware.

Best Promotional Products for Tradeshows

Whether you are a large or small business, creating a presence at a tradeshow can be a cumbersome task. With so many companies promoting their brand, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of booths and displays. In addition to creating an interesting and eye-catching area to draw the attention of tradeshow attendees, you need a way for people to remember your brand after the event is over.


People will spend all day traveling from booth to booth, checking out each vendor to see if what they have to offer may benefit them or their business. After seeing dozens of companies and their offerings, it can be hard at the end of the day to remember which company offered what services. Obviously, you need to have creative and interesting marketing materials on hand for visitors to take with them so they can review your services later. But is that enough?


In addition to printed marketing materials, another way to keep our company on the mind of prospective clients is by giving away promotional items featuring your brand’s logo, so they are reminded of your company each time they use it. Below is a list of some of the most effective promotional products for tradeshows.

 

Lip Balm

Custom lip balm tops our list for several reasons. Lip balm is inexpensive and easy to buy in bulk. You have numerous types to choose from, and a large variety of flavors that can be mixed. Light and portable, it’s easy to carry 1000’s of lip balm into a tradeshow facility ensuring that you have something for everyone who stops by your table. With out Flavor mix option, you can order several different flavors and let people choose the one they like best – meaning there is a good chance they will use it more frequently giving you a lot of repeat exposure.


Hand Sanitizer

Talk about a necessity for tradeshows! With all the hand-shaking and people touching your displays, marketing tables, and everything else around you, hand sanitizer is a must-have for any large gathering. Try placing a couple of large 16 oz. pump bottles on your table so you and anyone else visiting your area can freshen their hands as needed. Additionally, you can get up a display of travel-sized hand sanitizers so guests can take one as the leave to freshen up with throughout the day.


Pens

You must have pens! Pens with your logo on it are just a no-brainer. They are cheap and affordable to buy in bulk, and easy to carry and setup anywhere you are. Promotional pens are great for tradeshows. People will use them throughout the day and see your logo every time. Will they lose them? Undoubtedly! But that’s ok! Because when they drop one, someone else will pick it up and see our name and logo – and it might even entice them to come visit your display!


Drinkware

There are so many ways to go with drinkware! You have many options and can do so much with it depending on how much you have it your budget. Here are a few top sellers for your consideration:

  • Koozies:  Inexpensive and easy to store, Koozies are a great way to advertise your brand, and since they are versatile between bottles and cans, everyone is sure to want one to take home to use with their favorite drink. Talk about repeat exposure!
  • Sports Water Bottles: Sports bottles are a popular promotional item and work for any brand. You could even hand them out with a few other items like lip balm and a pen placed in side for a great little giveaway package!
  • Stainless Steel Drinkware: A customer favorite, stainless steel cups and tumblers make great promotional items for any event. And recipients will see your logo each time they use it, giving you a lot of bang for your buck!
  • Bottled Water: Imagine seeing your logo (instead of a famous water company) on water bottles being used all through the event.


Tote Bags

For the ultimate giveaway, consider a custom tote bag loaded with promotional goodies to hand out to potential clients! You don’t have to give one to everyone who approaches your booth, but instead make them special giveaways to those who really take their time to inquire about your services or products, seem genuinely interested, and are likely to give you a call once the event is over.

Promotional Ideas for the Fall Season

The start of the school year signals the impending end of summer, and that fall will soon be here. Everyone will be excited about spending more time outside once the weather cools off a bit, and it’s a great time for outdoor events and activities. Below are just a few ideas to get you started.


School Events

Fall is a great time to hold a fundraiser for your local schools. Outdoor fairs and carnivals are always popular with the children and their families, and it’s a great way to raise money for your school. For the school itself, branding items with the school’s name and selling them at a table to earn money for the school, or even different clubs is a great idea. With all the folks that will be present at the event, you are sure to earn a fair amount of money to help fund your club.


Non-school branded items to giveaway during the event is a great idea too. You can easily offer to help your school by providing items imprinted with your logo to help sponsor the event. You could provide cups to help them serve drinks in, and offer free gifts the school could use in raffles or as prizes. Keytags, sunglasses, and sunscreen are just a few ideas that would make wonderful giveaway items for games and raffles.


Fall Themed Contests

A great way to boost brand reputation is by creating a contest for current and/or potential customers. You can offer a big prize (cash, your services, products, etc.) as well as smaller prizes. Consider tote bags, umbrellas, and drinkware as they make great gifts that will get a lot of repeat exposure.


Sponsor a Chili Cookoff

With the cooler air, fall is a great time to hold an outdoor event, and what’s better than a chili cookoff! You can provide the venue and let people from all around enter the contest to see who can make the best chili! You can provide branded items that participants can use during the event, as well as prizes for the winners and runner-ups, as well as hold smaller guest contests to win other branded items.


Halloween Parties and Events

Promotional Ideas to Support your local Football Team and Marching Band

Fall is a popular time for local schools and students involved in sports. Football is a mainstay of any school, which usually also includes the marching band on game night. While these are two separate groups, both are considered a sport, and work together during the football season and get a lot of attention from the students, teachers, parents, and other family members. Each club often sells candy, food, and products branded with its name and logo at the concession stand to raise money.


And while you could also do the same, by selling items with your logo and offering the proceeds to the school, or the club directly, another idea is to provide the members with materials (featuring your branded logo, of course) they can use, and often need.


A great way to promote your brand would be to supply these students with a tote bag filled with promotional products featuring your name or logo. Not only does it show that you care about the kids, but their parents will see your thoughtful gift and remember your business the next time they require your services.


Custom Drawstring Sports Packs

Custom drawstring sports packs are a great idea for both the football team and marching band. They are ideal for holding everything a kid in either club needs, and it’s a great way to keep the materials separate from the rest of their school items, so they can grab it and go when it’s time for practice.


Football players will have clothing, shoes, towels, and maybe even a playbook to bring to practice, while marching band kids always have extra items to carry in addition to their instrument. They have band music and folders, instrument accessories, cleaning kits, gloves, shoes, jackets, and more. And if you fill them with useful items featuring your logo, you are sure to be noticed by their parents and teachers as well!


A sports bag is a great choice for these students. With the drawstring closures that also serve as handles, they can easily wear it – even while marching if needed! Our best-selling Non-Woven Hit Sports Pack sells for as low as $1.19 per piece and offers a large 8″ W x 9″ H imprint area for your logo, so it will be seen even from the bleachers!


Custom SPF Lip Balm

All of these kids will spend a lot of time outdoors, first in the hot sun, then in the bitter cold once the weather turns. There will be a lot of chapped lips! An SPF lip balm (or two) would be a great addition to your bag and greatly appreciated. Starting as low as 33¢ per piece, our These lip balms contain an SPF to help protect young lips from the damaging rays of the sun, and the drying winds of winter.


Personalized Hand Sanitizer and Custom Cleaning Cloths

Having hand sanitizer and a cleaning cloth in their bag is a great idea, especially for the marching band students that share instruments! In today’s world of fast-spreading viruses and your standard cold and flu, keeping your children as healthy as possible is always difficult.


Pair our 1 Oz. Square Hand Sanitizer Gel (64¢ and up) with our Value Microfiber Cloth in Printed Pouch (as low as 57¢) for a useful addition that parents and teachers will also appreciate!

For something unique and memorable, check out our Football Shaped Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. It’s perfect for the football team!


Custom Imprint Sports Water Bottles

Both of these activities are exhausting and can cause severe dehydration if you don’t have water on hand! Our 20 Oz. Surf Bottle (Push Pull Lid) would make a great addition to your bag, and is something every member needs! Starting at only 73¢ a piece, it’s a small price to pay to keep the kids hydrated.

BPA-free, it holds a generous 20 ounces and comes in a wonderful selection of colors for both the bottles and the lids, so you can mix and match to complement school colors or those of your logo. You can also order an assortment if you want to have more than one color combination!


Promotional Pens and Mechanical Pencils

One thing every member needs is a pen or pencil! There are always changes in football plays, as well as the music and choreography for the band throughout the season. Including a promotional pen or mechanical pencil would be appreciated by the football coaches and band director, as well as the students!

Our Click Pens start as low as 21¢ per piece, and are a great option since they don’t have a cap to lose! Or you can opt for a Mechanical Pencil (46¢ and up). If you want to make an even greater impression, opt for one of our Full-color Imprint Custom Click Pens! Starting at only 33¢ per piece, your pen will truly stand out from the others.

If you put this all together, you can create a fantastic gift package for each child for only $3.67 per child! That’s a small price to pay for everything you get: 1) Knowing that you have provided a useful gift that everyone will appreciate, 2) Peace of mind for the parents, 3) and the huge amount of exposure your company will get when other students, teachers, coaches, parents, families, and more when they see your name and logo all over each item!

Increasing Brand Popularity with Custom Water Bottles

Using Custom Water Bottles for Promotions

As a business owner, seeking a reliable way to market your business is a goal you must be committed to. These days, the competition for more customers and sales lives doesn’t just live on the internet, you have to connect with potential clients in a more personal way. With businesses looking outside the conventional social media ads for brand advertising and lead generation, promotional items are a potent alternative.

When it comes to creating a promotional item for your business, you have many product choices, However, whichever item you choose, you want to ensure it has the potential to provide high returns on your investment. Water bottles are one item you can easily (and affordable) personalize to promote any business or event.

 

Why Custom Water Bottles Work

Let’s take a look at why you should consider custom water bottles as a brand promotional item. The number of people seen carrying water bottles every day should ignite your advertising instincts! During the summer especially, people tend to rehydrate more often than at other times of the year. However, water bottles are a year-round investment, and many people use them daily throughout the entire year.

As a business owner, you can leverage this trend by personalizing water bottles with your brand, while helping people to rehydrate. One of the easiest, and most affordable ways to get your name out is to order custom water bottles in bulk, imprinted with your advertising message or logo. Once you receive your order, the ways you can use them are virtually unlimited!

Water bottles customized with your logo and message are an effective marketing method simply because it works! Most people carry a water bottle around with them everywhere they go these days. So, when you hand yours out to your customers, it works in two ways.

First, it keeps your name in front of your current customers. Your logo will be in front of them all day long, and they will see it with each and every sip! Secondly, everyone around them will also see your logo or message which might prompt them to think further about, or even research your company. That’s a win-win in anyone’s book!

 

Distributing your Personalized Water Bottles

There are many ways you can pass out your branded bottles. Of course, there are tradeshows, and conventions, as well as leaving them with customers when you visit their office or sending them home with one when they visit yours.

Sponsoring events is another great way to get noticed. Spring and Summer bring a lot of 5k and other running races, as well as bike races. Helping to sponsor an event like this is a wonderful way to promote your brand! You can pass out a bottle to each participant, and even sell them at the concessions if you like. Your name will be obvious and seen throughout the entire event! You can even put your name on bottled water, to make it easier for participants to rehydrate!

Tradeshows, conferences, or workshops are other functions where you can share water bottles with your personalized ad message. Workshops can last for hours, with little to no breaks, which can be tedious. You can capitalize on this by distributing your water bottles to the workshop and conference participants to help them rehydrate and refresh.

Another simple, but effective idea is to package them as customer giveaways. You can mail them to your customers, or drop them off to them. Either way, they will not only appreciate your thoughtful gift but will remember you each time they use it.

No matter which way you choose to distribute your custom water bottles, you have a winning promotional product that is sure to garner your brand the attention it deserves! Go to the Custom Drinkware Store and start promoting your brand today!
