Seasonal Promotional Merchandise: Ideas for Summer Events

The summery weather appears to be heading in, and with school summer holidays just around the corner, now is the time to stock up on your summer promotional merchandise. Whether you are a business supporting a local school fete, engaging with business leaders at networking events or simply wanting to issue tokens of thanks to your supporters, now is the time to take stock and think about what products are suitable for summer events.

Products for the pessimists (realists?)

The way that this year is going, you may be tempted to issue out branded umbrellas and ponchos for those brave customers and employees who are venturing out to festivals, shows and other outdoor events. This isn't actually a bad idea, and products that people will actually use are always more popular than those issued based purely on their cost-effective price point.

Products for summer enthusiasts

If you are embracing the power of positive thought and think that macs and brollies are too pessimistic, you may be swayed by the thought of T-shirts, baseball caps and flip flops. These products are ideal for personalising with your choice of colours, logo, text and image. They too will see a lot of use when the sun makes an appearance.

Other branded products that will be well received by festival-goers and beachcombers are towels, tote bags and sunglasses. Again, these products are easily personalised with your business information. Add a QR code to the corner of a pair of sunglasses to captivate your audience and encourage them to participate in other summer giveaways. You could direct the QR code to your summer special offers website landing page, to a promotional feature on your social media feed or even to a list of upcoming events at which your business will be making an appearance.

Products for the here and now

Schools and other educational businesses may wish to thank their staff for another year of loyal service by issuing summer food hampers, pampering gift sets or a picnic blanket. Gifts chosen with thought will ensure your staff feel appreciated, and they will use them with pleasure.

Products that will last the test of time

If for you, business does not stop in the summer, you may want to issue promotional merchandise that has year round value, such as a new year planner, a range of high quality pens, a new mug or a phone case. There are many promotional products that can be used in everyday life by a wide variety of people when you consider the needs and preferences of your target audience in selecting your promotional merchandise.
