Supply chain issues and inventory shortages are turning project turnarounds on their head. If you’re ordering drinkware for your clients only a month or two out, you run the risk of missing in-hand dates – or being unable to completely fulfill orders.
It’s time to plan further ahead for successful promotions in the future. We’ll walk you through common drinkware requests for this year, plus in-stock items from Baltimore Glassware Decorators that are available with deep inventory – if you act fast.
With the weather warming up and end-users able to get outside, many companies capitalize on this season to host in-person or outdoor promotional events. This is a time when many businesses launch new brick-and-mortar locations or branding activities, so be sure to reach out to drinkware clients looking to make a fresh impression.
Spring is right around the corner. Order these styles now while they’re in stock so you’re not left telling clients it’s too late to fulfill their order.
By the time summer rolls around, outdoor branding is in full swing. This season comes with a host of fundraising runs and walks as well as entertainment events like concerts, comedy shows, festivals and opening night red carpets. Don’t forget about hospitality either. Coastal areas, in particular, will want to order branded drinkware to sell as souvenirs or to thank VIP guests.
Summer will be here sooner than you think, and many of these events require promotional planning to be done far out in advance. Ask your clients about drinkware needs and let them know you can provide premium styles with smooth delivery if they order now.
Branded jars with handles will be a top choice for coastal bars and restaurants who want to appeal to vacationers.
Wildly popular with colleges and universities, these sports mugs are always appreciated by graduates, alumni and their families.
Crisp weather calls for crisp drinks - in branded glassware of course. Food and wine festivals pop up all over this season which is always a surefire opportunity for drinkware sales. However, the major market to know for fall is education. Both K-12 and higher education kick off their school years and will need a host of promos to excite new students and encourage school spirit. Lastly, wedding season heads into high gear in September. Ask your clients about branded glassware to use during nuptials or to hand out as party favors.
With supply chain issues remaining a top concern and not guaranteed to improve, it’s never too early to order for fall events. As soon as your clients have their artwork ready, let them know it’d be wise to input orders now to ensure products remain in stock.
Not only do these tasting glasses look cool, they pair perfectly with events serving beer or spiked seltzers.
A must-sell to businesses like wineries and vineyards, wine tasting glasses are also a wedding season favorite.
When it comes to the end of the year, gifts and incentives are where it’s at. The winter months are filled with holiday parties and recognition award orders. Branded glass drinkware perfectly suits both of these needs, as they have a high perceived value and are practical items end-users can use in their homes, increasing their positive branding appeal.
Not only will the winter be busy for promo suppliers, it’ll also be busy for your clients. Set yourself up for success to end the year strong by placing your Q4 drinkware orders pronto.
Pint glasses aren’t just great promos, they’re collectibles end-users will love holding onto and using in their homes.
The appeal of wine glasses can’t be understated. They’ll be reused at social events in the future, promising continued impressions for your clients.
