Trending Drinkware

Reusable drinkware has been popular for the past couple of years (especially during the Covid-19 pandemic), but we are expecting to see an even further increase in popularity with classic drinkware products, like the Bio Universal and metal bottles (now available in even more colours), as well as the addition of sophisticated glassware options and a selection of plastic alternative bottles.

Get ahead of the game (or games)

Now that sporting events can begin to take place once more, 2022 brings us the Beijing Winter Olympics, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and also the European Athletics Championships in Munich to name just a few. 
 
Why not lean your marketing campaigns into the sporting theme with branded sports clothing or flags? How about a wellbeing exercise or athletics challenge for your staff or university students?

Branded Tech Gifts

Technology continues to advance at a rapid pace and is definitely set to be a trend for branded promotional products in 2022. 

In fact, in a recent survey, branded tech items (such as wireless chargers, charging cables, earbuds etc) came top of the list (57%) for what people would prefer to receive in an onboarding gift box.

Tech is ever-changing and we have new branded tech items added to our product ranges on a regular basis. We even have eco-tech items, such as charging cables made from wheat straw.


Employee and Customer Engagement

In 2021, employee wellbeing hit the headlines, with many companies moving all their staff to working from home. This could cause some to feel isolated. A trend set in 2021 (and continuing into 2022) are 'Work from Home' kits for staff. A small token of appreciation sent to their home addresses to make them feel part of the team environment even when working at home.
 
It works the same with your customers! Start as you mean to go on with ‘welcome’ or ‘onboarding’ packs for your new clients when they sign up. It could be as simple and cost effective as a notebook and pen, or you could go all out with a personalised bottle, branded clothing, sweets and treats, or even branded laptop bags.
