SHOES

You've heard of branded socks, but did you know you could sell branded shoes too? You can, and absolutely should for summer events like charity runs and community fundraisers. Promotional shoes turn end-users' feet into walking billboards for your client's brand, and they spread awareness for specific initiatives like nonprofit partnerships. Not only that, recipients will recognize shoes as high-end items, which results in a positive brand association. Remember: Shoes don't come cheap in retail! This is an easy way to help your clients stand out from their competition by providing end-users with wearables they'll really appreciate and continue to wear long after summer is over.

Whether your clients are preparing for a sports tournament, a summer camp or a walkathon, wristbands are affordable accessories that recipients will be ecstatic to wear. Not only do they look cool, they keep wearers cool and sweat-free too – a requirement for summertime wearables. These wristbands come in a wide range of color options, so it's easy to match brand guidelines without expensive color-matching fees. No Sweat Specialties offers a variety of decoration methods too. For maximum durability, opt for embroidery. For bright and bold graphics, try "substitching," which is when sublimated patches are heat-transferred onto wristbands in a process that mimics embroidery but allows for more detailed artwork.

When consumers are outside during the summer heat, their top concern is cooling off. That's why headbands make such great promos for promotional events on hot days. Not only do they absorb sweat, they help keep hair out of the way too. Another key selling point to mention is all the face time your clients' logos will get – literally! Branded headbands will be seen front and center every time end-users speak to each other. They'll also receive direct eye-contact during races, volunteer activities and community events, resulting in tons of impressions.

Plan for hand sanitizer to remain a popular promo for the immediate future. Even as vaccinations continue to roll out, germ prevention is now in the public consciousness and will remain so this summer and beyond. Stand out from other distributors by providing only the best formulations. For instance, avoid harsh-smelling sanitizer that end-users will ultimately dislike using and may throw away. Instead, opt for retail-inspired formulations that smell great, don't dry out hands and deliver the message that your clients care about community health.

If you’re already selling face protection products, don’t forget to ask about neck gaiters too. When it comes to face masks vs. neck gaiters, it’s often a matter of personal preference. Some end-users prefer the greater coverage area gaiters provide, along with how they don’t put strain on ears during periods of long wear. The large imprint area neck gaiters offer is also ideal for larger-than-life brand messages. If your clients want to get a message out during their summer event, completely decorating gaiters with full-color sublimation will attract attention and keep end-users safe from germs and disease.

In many states, face masks are still required outdoors for large groups of people, making masks an event necessity. Your clients can hand out face masks throughout the big day so anyone who forgot one can still take part in the fun! Or, make face masks available for purchase so consumers can support companies and organizations they enjoy. This is a great sales opportunity for small businesses who have relied on community support through the past year. End-users will also be proud to rock face masks when they're decorated with the logo of their favorite local biz.
