Although there’s no official “wedding season”, June and September are the peak months for couples to tie the knot. So, as long as it’s not cold out, there will likely be plenty of weddings taking place, and correspondingly an increase of custom items being produced.

The More the Merrier. The demand for custom wedding items has substantially increased within the past decade. Now more than ever, people can customize practically anything online for an affordable price and have an endless supply of design inspiration from social media posts. Personalized party supplies for weddings, such as monogrammed napkins or balloons, are still popular but seem to be a bare minimum accessory.
 
It’s All About the Guests. In addition to the variety of color and style options, custom wedding favors have become either much more practical or amusing in this digital age. Family members and friends attending the event can expect to receive a handful of these custom wedding favors, featuring the names of the bride and groom or the wedding date. Bridesmaids and groomsmen can expect to receive even more!
 
What’s Trending. Popular products include drinkware, sunglasses, pens, and coasters but the #1 custom wedding favor is…drum roll please…wedding koozies! Both cost-effective and functional, this custom item continues to grow in popularity. Guests put these to use right away and love how the catchy phrase on the koozie is fitting to the couple’s personality. Here’s a few of our favorites:
Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Always
Eat, Drink, and Be Married
To Have and To Hold and To Keep Your Beer Cold
The Wedding is Here, Time for Beer
The Vows Are Done, It’s Time for Fun

It seems like it was just yesterday we were in June, but now fall is just around the corner. At Olive Promotions, we believe this in-between season is a great time to get a promotional product out there for your business. This is because school homecomings, sports tailgating, and late summer state fairs are all coming very soon (and often)! As potential customers get ready for these community festivities, make sure your business is getting ready as well with these effective items for fall.
 
Writing Utensils. Whether you want a basic design or a writing utensil with a stylus, pens are always a great choice for giveaways.  Starting in August, these promotional products become even more valuable, especially for students and teachers as they head back to school. Make sure your pens are customized with black ink, rather than blue or red, because many school projects require to be done in black ink only! Just think, wouldn’t it be nice for your logo to be seen in a classroom?
 
Drinkware. As fall approaches, the high summer temperatures will continue stay. Beat the heat by providing your consumers with a customized tumbler or koozie for their cold beverages. These promotional products are reusable and functional practically anywhere, so customers are likely to repeatedly use them at tailgates and other social events. Talk about free advertising!
 
Bags. If your business plans to attend and handout a product at a high foot traffic community event, tote bags or drawstring backpacks are an especially great choice. It’s likely there will be several other businesses giving away free items. Your bags will be a relief for attendees because they now have a place to put all their collected items…rather than having to hold everything by hand! This will also make your brand stand out amongst competitors. Plus, a promotional bag is basically a moving billboard when used by a consumer!
 
When choosing your next promotional product for a community event or tradeshow, you can’t go wrong with any of these three items for fall. Is your business eager to get started with a product for the upcoming season? Contact Olive Promotions today!
