6 of the best Summer Promotional Items

6 of the best Summer Promotional Items

When choosing your promotional items you need to think very carefully about which items to go for as there are a lot of things to factor in. As well as thinking about colours, styles and materials, you also need to think if the item you are going for suits the season. Obviously this factor does not affect all promotional items, for example products such as pens will be used all year round and so which season it is does not come into it. However if you are thinking of ordering, say umbrellas, you may wish to order them in the winter instead of the summer when they are going to be more useful to someone. Just think, you would not dream of going in to a shop and buying an umbrella on a hot sunny day so why would you want to receive one as a gift? It may seem like an obvious thing but many people do not think about these aspects when ordering promotional gifts, they only think about price and functionality. It is very important to think through all factors before you order after all these promotional items are representing you and your company and you want them to be practical and usable and above all appreciated.

Below are some great promotional items that make fantastic gifts in the summer months:

Biker Sports Bottle

Sports bottles for bikes are an excellent promotional gift in the summer as when it gets hot more and more people cycle to and from work and also get together with their families and friends and go on long bike rides through the country. Print your message on the sports bottle and then every time it is picked up to be used that person will think of your company. The sports bottle starts from as little as 77p!

Mini Cooler Bag

The mini cooler bag is another brilliant little item for the summer and bags are always a great way to advertise your company as when they are being carried around everyone can see your company name. As the summer descends lots of people hit the parks for a picnic and with the cooler bags starting from just 98p you’d be mad not to get in on the action!

Frisbee

Frisbee’s are a fun and unusual promotional gift and are fantastic in the summer when people are in the parks having fun in the sun. You can also get quite a lot of text on a Frisbee so you can fully promote your brand on these amusing items.

Pedometer

As the weather gets nicer you notice increasing amounts of people out in the open exercising and trying to shape up for summer. Pedometers are a superb way of encouraging people to get fit and go on more walks whilst advertising your company at the same time.


Boomerang

Similar to frisbee’s, boomerangs make fun promotional gifts especially in the summer when they can be played with outdoors. They are suitable for all the family and for this reason are sure to be a success. They come in a range of colours and start from as little as 47p.

Drawstring Bags

This style of bag really is one of the best ways of marketing your company and getting your message out there as it is carried on the back and therefore is very visible to passers by. Especially handy in the summer to carry belongings down to the beach or park, the drawstring bag is a promotional hit!
