Happy Holidays from Promotional Webstores!
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!
Holiday Gift Giving for Customers and Employees
The holiday season is a great time for businesses to show appreciation to customers and employees for their loyalty. Without either of these groups, your company would not be operational! While you are always looking out for new customers, keeping current ones happy is important. Repeat business is the key to long-lasting success.
And of course, you always want to include your employees. Sales might bring in the money, but happy employees are key to making your business run smoothly and efficiently. When you show employees that you care about and appreciate them, they will be happier in their work which is reflected in their attitude, and the way they treat customers. It’s also important for employee retention – a content employee is a long-term employee.
What makes a great gift?
When choosing branded gifts, whether for customers or employees, think about the quality of the item and the reusability factor. While small trinkets and items are great for promotions throughout the year, holiday gifts should be something that makes them say “wow”!
Studies have shown that when you give a customer a promotional gift, they tend to keep those gifts for 5 years or more! And of course, each time they use your gift they will think of your business, creating a reminder so they will call you when they are once again in the market for your services or products.
Gifts that Last
The best holiday gifts are ones that can be used over and over again. Repeat impressions are key to successful marketing, and that includes branded holiday gifts. Below are a few ideas for promotional gifts that are ideal for both customers and employees.
Drinkware
Custom drinkware makes a great promotional gift and is an easy way to keep your name in front of people throughout the day. The Custom Drinkware Store has a wonderful selection of sports bottles, koozies, glassware, and stainless steel drinkware.
16 Oz. Denali Stainless Steel Thermos – Stainless Steel with a screw-on, spill-resistant lid, and pop-up lid for pouring, this thermos has double-walled construction and is ideal for hot coffee as well as cold beverages like iced tea and water.

Full Color Stainless Steel Himalayan Tumbler with Antimicrobial Additive – featuring built-in antimicrobial properties to prevent germs and bacteria from forming on the cup, this stainless steel tumbler has a 4-color process wrap to create a one-of-a-kind gift that people can immediately associate with your brand.
Bags
A custom bag gives the recipient a useful and long-lasting gift with many uses. At The Custom Bag Store, we offer a varied selection of bags to meet every need.
Deluxe Sports Duffel Bag – This handsome duffel bag sports has several pockets and a shoe compartment to hold everything you need for a trip to the gym or weekend getaway, and features a generous size imprint to showcase your logo.
Manhattan Tote Bag – this stylish tote comes with a unique checkered pattern with Black, Blue, or Silver Accents and a Black or Brown pouch. It’s ideal for carrying groceries, work supplies, and books.
Umbrellas
A custom umbrella can be used year-round, and it’s one of the few items that you can use to promote your brand that will give your brand a broader reach. Every time someone uses a promotional umbrella with your logo, not only will they think of your company but they are advertising your product to everyone around them each time they use it. Check out our complete line at the Custom Umbrella Store.
46″ Auto Open & Close Reversa Inversion Folding Umbrella – The intelligent design makes it easy to open and close and is designed not only to protect you from rain but also from a rain-soaked umbrella. When not in use, it folds to only 13″ long so that it fits almost anywhere.
46″ Auto Open Reflective Iridescence Umbrella – featuring a generous imprint area, you can promote your brand while offering users a safe way to travel in the rain. This umbrella features a reflective iridescence canopy so others can easily see you when the skies are gray.
A Personal Touch
No matter what gift you decide on this holiday season, you can always add a personal touch to make it even more special. If you are wrapping your gifts, consider adding a Custom Lip Balm, Hand Sanitizer, or Promotional Pen to the bow so they know just who the gift is from! You can also add a gift tag to these items and attach it to the gift if you decide not to wrap them individually.
How to Create an Awesome Swag Bag for Promotional Giveaways
When planning promotional events, swag bags are a great idea for any business. They not only provide guests with a goodie bag (which everyone loves!), but it’s a wonderful way to promote your brand and keep your name on the minds of customers and potential customers.
Creating a swag bag guests will love isn’t hard. Just make sure you have items that people can use more than once. Don’t waste your money on a one-use gimmick or fad items that will just end up in the trash before they even leave your event.
Start with a custom tote bag, like our Non-Woven Promotional Tote Bag. Pricing starts at 96¢, with an imprint area of 10″ W x 10″ H to showcase your company logo or event theme graphics. It comes in a variety of colors so you can match or complement your theme colors.

You don’t have to use all of these items of course. Pick a few that you feel people will use the most, put them in a custom bag with your logo, and people will remember your event and brand long after it is over!
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
Of course, we can’t forget Halloween! October is a wonderful month for promotions, and Halloween is a fun time that people of all ages can enjoy. There are so many things you can do for Halloween and it’s a great way to attract the attention of people of all ages. Below are just a few ideas for creating Halloween fun!
- Hayrides
- Carnivals
- Costume Contest
- Games

Here are few of our favorite promotional items that are ideal for any event. Order several to put together a great bag you can give out as prizes. We even have a cute pumpkin tote you can use to get you started!

Retro Sunglasses – always add fun to any event, and with price starting at just 68¢ per piece, they make great game and contest prizes.
Custom Bags for Promotional Giveaways
You’ve finally decided you want to create a custom bag for your upcoming promotion. And why not? A custom bag makes a great investment! Not only are they economical and affordable, but they garner much more attention than a small one-use item that only the recipient will see.
When you give away a great tote bag imprinted with your custom logo or message, you’re basically passing out portable little walking billboards! And since they are reusable, people will use them over and over again, giving you a lot of exposure from just one product.
So now that you have decided what you want, you need to decide what type of bag is right for your brand. Let’s start with the basics.
Where to Begin
First, think about your company and the event you will be promoting. You want something that will remind your current customers of how wonderful you and your products are while creating something to attract new customers.
What image do you want to represent? Consider your business and the kind of customers you want to appeal to. There are many styles to choose from, ranging from mini bags to coolers, to large totes. With so many colors and styles, you are sure to find the perfect tote bag to represent your company, as well as match or enhance your color scheme.
So, let’s take a look at the different kinds of custom bags available.
Types of Custom Bags
Depending on the brand or event you are promoting, there are several types of bags you can choose from that will project the right image you want to promote.
Tote Bags
Tote bags are sturdy and made to last, and are an excellent choice for bookstores, grocery stores, and other types of shops that may sell heavier items.
Looking for something a bit more eco-friendly? Browse through our Cotton Tote Bags. We have a few nice-sized natural cotton grocery totes that project an organic image or feel, perfect for fresh markets.
Drawstring Sport Packs
Promoting a sporting team or event? Look no further than our Drawstring Sport Packs! These handy little bags are ideal for supporting or raising money for your local sports team or school, and make wonderful fundraisers. Sell them at concession stands during sporting events, or as a fundraiser for the football team, band, or any other sport or school-related program to raise money and support student activities.
Paper and Plastic Bags
Heading to a tradeshow? Custom plastic and paper bags are a must for any tradeshow! Not only are they a great way to hand out your promotional materials, but they will be seen all through the event prompting others to visit your booth or table!
Dry Bags
Dry bags are a great way to promote beach parties, boating excursions, corporate picnics, and more! They are a great way to protect cell phones, watches, clothing, and other items you don’t want to get wet while out having a good time. And they float! If it falls off a boat, or you want to pull it behind you while in the water, the bag will stay on top of the water for easy access to your belongings.
Coolers or Lunch Bags
From single lunch bags for schools to larger coolers that can accommodate up to 24 canned drinks, cooler bags are another profitable way to support a school, sports team, or another event. There is a wide selection of cooler bags to fit every need. And just imagine the exposure your brand can get during tailgating season!
Gym and Duffel Bags
Custom gym and duffel bags are another great way to promote a sports team or sporting venue, as well as work-out facilities and gyms. You can sell them in your gym’s shop so customers use them to carry their gear around, giving you exposure everywhere they go.
You can always check out our best sellers to see what other people are using. Any bag you choose is sure to boost sales and brand awareness. So go ahead and place an order today!

Spring is Here – Refresh your Promotional Products
A change of seasons always signals a time for renewal! As the saying goes – out with the old, and in with the new! The term “Spring Cleaning” brings to mind cleaning out closets, changing heating and air conditioning filters, refreshing batteries in smoke alarms, and buying new clothes. It’s also a great time to refresh your marketing efforts to attract new business with new promotional products.
Spring means warmer weather and more outdoor events. School will be ending soon, and people will start making plans to head to the beach and other vacation destinations with friends and family.
Whether you are thinking of sponsoring an outdoor event, booking a tradeshow, or ramping up your advertising efforts to promote your brand, it’s the ideal time to add new products to your collection of gifts for events and client gits.
Sunglasses, sunscreen, drinkware, tote bags, and umbrellas make wonderful promotional items for outdoor events!
Custom Sunglasses
Outdoor events are a fantastic place to showcase your name on a stylish-looking pair of sunglasses! At the Custom Sunglass Store, not only do we have a large selection of sunglasses available, but we offer the ability to mix colors so you can offer guests a choice.
You can choose one pair of sunglasses in several colors that match your company colors or event theme. One of our best sellers, the RETRO ! Baja Neon Rubber Sunglasses, comes in your choice of 9 colors, with the option to mix colors in quantities of only 25 pairs per color!
We have many styles available, including Retro Sunglasses, Malibu, and Aviators, as well as sunglasses for Pre-School Kids.
Custom Sunscreen
At the Custom Sunscreen Store, we offer sunscreen in various styles, including lotions, sprayers, sticks, and more sun protection, available in SPF 30 and SPF 50. We also offer several sunscreens that come with a lip balm also containing SPF to protect lips from the sun. We also carry aloe gel for customers that forgot to put the sunscreen on!
For a truly unique promotion, try our Sunburn Alert Stickers! These stickers change color and let wearers know when it is time to reapply sunscreen, to help prevent burning.

Boost your Brand with Custom Bags
Having your brand name and marketing message seen all over town is a goal many business owners strive to achieve. The more you put your brand in the eyes of potential customers, the quicker your business brand becomes a household name in your industry. While some people solely rely on the digital space to advertise their brands, you can go far beyond that to leverage the power of promotional products.
As a business owner, it’s important to understand that the world’s digital market economy is characterized by congested and aggressive advertising. As a result, you must look for smarter ways to build brand awareness outside the digital space. Promotional products are items you can personalize to drive your brand marketing campaign locally or nationally. Business owners who understand the power of traditional advertising include promotional items in their marketing efforts.
Regardless of the type of business, custom tote bags, lunch bags, grocery, messenger, business, gym, and duffel bags can be used for effective physical brand promotion. Not only do they make great customer gifts, but they provide the added value of repeated use and brand exposure. Unlike a disposable plastic bag, tote bags are reusable; and recipients will use them over and over again, giving you extended brand exposure. The longer they use these bags with your promotional message imprinted on them, the higher the exposure your brand gets.
Why Use Custom Bags as a Marketing Strategy?
Imagine what it will look like when people are seen in shopping malls, offices, streets, and event arenas with your personalized bags. Of course, this will go a long way to improving your brand visibility. But this isn’t the only reason you need custom bags for your business marketing.
Here are some other reasons why more businesses are paying attention to the use of reusable bags for their brand marketing:
Promotional products are cost-effective
The cost of advertising your business using custom bags is less when compared to the use of radio, television commercials, or billboard advertising. As such, even small business owners can depend on it. And with the added value of repeat exposure over longer periods of time, you get more for your advertising dollar!
Custom bags come in different types, styles, and sizes, making it easier for you to pick one that fits your budget. At The Custom Bag Store, you can see the different designs, materials, and prices that fit your advertising budget.
Nothing beats the reusability of custom bags. People have the habit of reusing custom bags multiple times and for different purposes. You can easily benefit from this habit by customizing a bag with your business logo, promotional message, and contact details. Not only will the recipient be reminded of your business, but you can potentially gain new customers from the exposure you get when it is used around town.
There is no doubt about the importance of using promotional custom bags for your brand awareness. Whether you are using them to promote your business at a tradeshow, or a customer and employee gifts, you stand a higher chance of benefiting from this marketing with a unique bag for your business. Get started today, by creating walking billboards through customers that will provide you years of return exposure!
