The beginning of the year is a wonderful time for reflection. It’s a clean slate to work with, so let’s look at what we can do to make the upcoming year a home run by looking back at the promo products that knocked it out of the park in 2021, and what’s exciting and new around the corner.

What Worked in 2021

Kits and Mailings

Climb aboard the unboxing train! It’s not just about the product, but the whole experience. Once you nail the messaging, the design can truly come together. We offer cost-effective, full-color box options to help you bring any campaign to life. Whether it’s handed to your clients in person or mailed to their door, maximize impact with a thoughtful kit to leave a lasting impression.

Don’t Skimp On the Drinkware

We all have a go-to mug or tumbler. It’s the one that fits perfectly in our cupholder, the one that keeps our beloved coffee right by our side, and it’s pretty much the most used and important promo item. You can’t skimp on the quality of the drinkware you hand out. Disposables are convenient (for when I accidentally leave my tumbler in the backseat of my car for months and have to toss it because… yikes), but you’ve got to have quality drinkware on-hand so your clients and prospects actually keep it, and maybe, just maybe, it’ll become that special one they drink from each and every day.

Health & Safety

While masks aren’t everyone’s favorite item, I must give credit where credit is due. We found the perfect mask (in my humble opinion). It’s comfortable, breathable, adjustable, and has optional features such as the filter pocket or a nose wire. The quality of the print is wonderful, too. While I hope we can someday stop wearing them, the impact of these face masks is multi-faceted and so important to include in your marketing back pocket for the foreseeable future.

What’s New for 2022

Volunteer Knitwear – Proudly Made in the USA

Volunteer Knitwear is a new line of apparel proudly made right in Tennessee. They are one of the longest-standing vertical textile producers in the US. Investing in American manufacturing requires a thoughtful and strategic effort to support the companies who provide quality goods and American jobs. This line of apparel offers short sleeve tees, long sleeves, and sweatshirts that’ll stand up to the toughest job.

New for Dog Moms and Dads

Pet items are always in demand and important to incorporate into your marketing initiatives. Why? Because let’s face it, our pets get more likes on social media than we do, and for good reason! Here’s a few fun and functional pet products to add into your marketing swag bag this year:

Pet Waste Bag with Sanitizer

This handy waste bag dispenser comes with a refillable spray sanitizer built in, along with a carabiner for easy attachment to a belt loop or bag.  How convenient!

Pet Picture Frame Ornament 

Think Christmas 2022! Who doesn’t want their brand shining bright on the Christmas tree year after year? It’s also a gift that keeps giving, because you can always switch out the adorable picture inside and warm the hearts of all who see it. It may be early, but Christmas will be here again before we know it!

Branded Dog Bowties 

Okay, so this may not be a new product, but I bet it would be a new promo for you! Custom-branded dog bowties are so cute, and who wouldn’t want to see their logo next to this adorable face?

 

Looking forward, it’s exciting to see the fun products available and new brands to inspire us through 2022! For all of your promo needs, give AG Marketing a call at (610) 337-8484. We can’t wait to work with you!
