With all the snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, it’s an ideal time to take advantage of winter-themed promotional products. Whether you’re sending gifts to customers, thanking employees for their hard work, or wanting more brand exposure for your business, here are a few ideas to try this season:
 
Branded Apparel.
To keep your customers and your employees warm as they travel through snow, consider custom outerwear such as winter accessory sets. Each of these sets typically include a fleece cap, scarf, and gloves all of which come in a matching drawstring pouch.
 
Ice Scrapers.
Winter and cold weather also mean icy windshields. Ice scrapers make for great promotional products because they’re inexpensive as a business expense yet practical for recipients and are extremely useful this time of year.
 
Drinkware.
Another great idea for winter promotions are custom mugs. Consider creating a hot chocolate gift set by combining cocoa mix packets with a colorful mug or stainless steel thermo so clients can carry their toasty drink wherever they go. Remember, drinkware will be appreciated long after the cold weather disappears!
 
Game Sets.
But who wants to go outside when it’s cold anyway? Give customers a reason to curl up by the fire with custom playing cards or a game set they can play while cooped up inside. Game sets can include anything from a deck of cards, dice, dominoes, checkers, chess, backgammon, and/or cribbage.
 
With promotional products like these, your customers and employees will make it comfortably through the winter and remember your brand name as well!

With ever-increasing competition, it’s vital to look for different ways to stay top-of-mind in customers' minds. One such trend is offering promotional products at trade shows, exhibitions, seminars, meetings, gatherings, and so on. Although this isn’t a new concept, promotional products have gained traction as a way to compete for new business and to solidify relationships with existing customers.

Every business wants to stand out and do something differently. Promotional items are a great way to allow your company to express its style and viewpoints in a unique and appealing manner. Don’t mistakenly believe that promotional items are available to large companies only! Small- and medium-sized companies can get exceptional return on investment using promotional products for an affordable prize.

Promotional products run the spectrum so if you’re balancing a budget, there are still plenty of viable options. For instance, custom pens are great-looking and their smooth-writing inks make them practical as well. They’re easily customized to promote your brand and your business in a variety of way. Have your company name and logo engraved on a stylish pen and then distribute them freely at the next trade show. And so much more awaits: coffee mugs, table clocks, t-shirts, and totes are other great promotional items. Their enduring presence will help you achieve the target result, as well as provide wonderful utility to the user, your customer.

In addition, promotional products are more affordable than traditional advertising, and possess a very long shelf-life. They’ll cost you less, but will repeatedly deliver – each and every time your customer picks up that pen imprinted with your company's name; fills that coffee mug that is sporting your logo; or plays a round of golf wearing that collared shirt with your company's name embroidered on it. 

If you’re participating in any exhibitions, trade shows, conferences or simply to give away to your every-day customers, you can easily choose promotional items to give your company a kind of exposure that isn’t easily achieved through traditional advertising.
