Can’t-Miss Promo Product Markets for 2021

After the ups and (way too many) downs of 2020, professionals in the promotional products industry are feeling unsure of which products will be trending in 2021—and of where to find those sweet, sweet sales.

Here’s the good news, kids: products that enhance self-care, double as PPE and let consumers indulge in luxe living will be even hotter in 2021 than they were in 2020.

Here’s the better news: not only are some industries still thriving, but they’re on track to do more business than ever.

Read on to learn more about the best industries to target this year and the products which pair oh-so-beautifully with them.

1. The Work-From-Home Workforce

As many offices continue to operate virtually, businesses both huge and tiny are on the lookout for products that will keep their employees productive, happy, and motivated (i.e., living their best lives.)

Entice them with items that will help their employees work from home like true bosses, such as the Flight Flap Pro premium phone and tablet holder (yep, it’s not just for flying!)

Designed with functionality in mind, this dope dye-sublimated accessory bends and folds to accommodate almost any work-from-home set-up. Customize it with a full-color logo to keep your brand front-and-center — exactly where it belongs, right?

2. Shipping Companies

Everybody, and we mean everybody, is having more products delivered directly to their homes lately. That means e-tail companies are surging and shipping/logistics companies are running a brisker business than ever before.

Jump on this trend by looking for your region’s biggest shipping, courier, and delivery companies. They’re likely to be in need of apparel and protective gear for their new employees that can be branded with their logo, as well as thank-you gifts that will help them retain their current awesome workforce.

When it comes to protective gear, look no further than the 1/2″ Polyester Mask Keeper. It’s ideal for delivery drivers who want to safely remove their masks while driving. Secure and convenient, its lanyard can be tailored to any brand’s color palette and customized with a logo.

1/2" Polyester Mask Keeper and Phoenix 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask

While you’re at it, why not throw in a new classic: a branded mask. Branded masks protect staff while also acting as a round-the-clock advertisement to customers, making them a win-win proposition.

The Phoenix 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask is a super-soft cloth mask option that looks almost as great as it protects. Brand it with your full-color logo to ensure your new staff make a healthy fashion statement.

As for thanking current employees, what’s a better thank-you gift than something these road warriors can truly use: the 16 oz. Thermos® Stainless King™ Stainless Steel Food Jar? Fit for a king — or queen— it preserves your food for hours, whether your lunch is a bowl of hot chili or a crisp Cobb salad. Nom!

16 oz. Thermos® Stainless King™ Stainless Steel Food Jar

3. The Healthcare Industry

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that the healthcare industry is busy, busy, busy right now. While they’re likely covered for PPE, items like this 8 oz. Bullet Sanitizer with Pump should be popular in less formal healthcare settings, such as senior living communities.

To thank frontline workers, look to bath salts, candles, and other products that will promote chill Zen vibes during their much-needed time off the clock!

4. Tech Companies

With everyone staying inside, do you know which companies are reaping the benefits? That’s right: tech companies. People are more online than ever, and that’s not exactly hurting their bottom line.

To reward their employees, who are working harder than ever, steer these companies toward the Think Tank Gift Set. Filled with handmade items, including a 16 oz. wide mouth mason jar wrapped in a handcrafted leather sleeve, a leather-covered mini composition book, a sexy leather wrap bracelet, a laser engraved cube puzzle, and more, this set doesn’t whisper “luxury” — it screams it!

5. Nonprofits

With the pandemic exacerbating many existing social problems, nonprofits need to generate more donations, period.

To support their promotional outreach, emphasize gifts that will resonate with their typically wholesome, conscientious and health-conscious donor base, such as the brandable 24 oz. Thermos® Hydration Bottle with Rotating Intake Meter. Sleek and ergonomic, its Rotating Intake Meter allows you to track your daily water intake — ensuring that consumers see your logo multiple times a day. Did we mention it ships next day with ZIP-IT?

24 oz. Thermos® Hydration Bottle with Rotating Intake Meter

Budget-limited nonprofits will dig less expensive swag that hits the same notes as this Thermos®, such as this USA made 1 oz. Clear Sanitizer in Round Bottle. Simple and affordable, this merch is also sure to get used, and you can customize the scent!

Finally, nonprofits with staff who work in the field will appreciate the Value PPE Kit. They — or the people they serve — get three one-time-use sanitizer packets in every kit, plus three sets of protective disposable gloves, and one disposable face mask, all conveniently stored in a customizable, branded zip pouch with your full-color label. What’s not to love?

6. The Hospitality Industry

Believe it or not, many restaurants offering take-out are doing just fine, as are inns and hotels with social distancing options (especially those that offer “getaways” outside of urban areas.)

Consumers like these appreciate swag that offers a safety assist, such as the USA made 10 mL. CleanZ Pen Sanitizer. It’s easy to stash in even the smallest bag and will be popular with those who are traveling for business (i.e., big-time hand-shakers). All of our sanitizer ships next day with ZIP-IT too!

Meanwhile, hospitality staff will be well-served by the Rogue Folded 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask. With comfy straps and the option to add your full-color branding to one or both sides, this 2-ply mask is perfect for customer-facing staff.

7. The Education Industry

School’s not happening in person everywhere, but it will be soon! Even more importantly, adults are also taking far more classes online. According to Inc. Magazine, that’s due to so many people having more time on their hands (well, duh).

With education brands unusually flush with cash, you may be wondering how to appeal to their customer bases. Two words: personal care. Personal care products have the advantage of appealing to wide swaths of people while also being an affordable entry point for companies that are new to the swag game.

We suggest they kick things off with our SPF 15 Lip Balm in White Tube, which is one of our most popular products. Available in a vast array of flavors, this beeswax-based balm will compel customers to associate your company with sheer deliciousness! Add a logo and you’ve created a fully immersive brand experience for a très affordable price.

Later this year, education brands will want to invest in comfortable PPE for their staff. Give them hours of painless safety with the Raven 3-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask. Made by Gildan, these masks come with not one, not two, but 3-ply protection. Two sets of ties go around the head and neck, so teachers can do their thing without distracting ear loop aches.

8. Event Planners & Trade Show Organizers

Not every event or trade show was canceled in 2020. Instead, they moved online, a trend that’s likely to continue throughout 2021.

To make these virtual experiences more, well, real, some special sauce is needed: customized swag that these companies can drop-ship to attendees.

Capitalize on that need by offering these digitally savvy consumers a tool they’ll love: the Momostick™ Phone Grip. This device attaches to the back of your phone and makes it easier to take high-quality photos, plus it doubles as a phone mount while you drive. Brands can customize the Momostick™ with their logo, rendered in glorious full-color direct print. Tasty, right?

Pair it with a piece of equipment that’s irresistible to telecommuters and frequent travelers alike: an imprintable 16 oz. Thermos® Guardian Stainless Steel Direct Drink Bottle. It works as hard as you do, keeping hot drinks hot for up to 10 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours. What else do you need to take over the world?

How Full-Color Face Masks and Accessories Will Help You Express Your Brand

Since the dawn of time people have expressed themselves through their clothing and accessories. Cave people donned their best leather and fur. Queens proudly displayed their finest crown forged from the brightest gold and rarest of gems. Hippies were pretty groovy sporting their bell bottoms in the 70’s too. While sneaker heads patiently wait to order the latest pair of Air Jordan shoes that are dropping at midnight. You get the picture.

Fast forward to the fall of 2020 where we are now 7 months into a global pandemic and the face mask is THE hottest promo item in the Covid-era. They’re the permanent accessory our faces never knew they needed. People are starting to have standards about what kind of masks they wear. So what are the rules?

Rule number one: a mask needs to look good.

Rule number two: a mask needs to be effective and comfortable.

Follow those guidelines and you’ll be okay, but just in case here are a few tips on how full-color face masks and accessories will help you express your brand. Read on!

Show Your True Colors

Can one really have too many face masks? In our opinion, no way! Just like neckties, socks, hats and countless other wearables, you’ll need one for every occasion and some. If you didn’t already know, kids need A LOT of masks. A LOT. OF. MASKS. Be prepared for them to need a new one several times a day, especially going to and from school. Adults on the other hand won’t need quite as many, but will still want a variety to choose from, whether for a more professional look around the office or fun and casual to run errands around town.

Pro tip: keep two baskets around the house, one for contaminated masks and another for clean ones so the family can easily change out coverings.

Now let’s get back to the rules, a mask needs to look good or did you already forget? Your mask is a blank canvas to showcase what your brand is all about and the personality of your people. Show your true colors by choosing your brand design and getting it printed in full color from ear to ear. Not quite sure where to start? That’s completely okay! At SnugZ our world-class design team took care of the hard part for you and created a variety of adult and youth stock patterns. Fit any style with ease.

Create a Cohesive Message

Don’t sleep on effectiveness and comfort when it comes to face masks. Since people are are wearing them for hours on end comfort is super important. While it may be okay to buy some promo items based on price, PPE absolutely shouldn’t be one of them. An inexpensive pen is one thing, but a protective device to help stop the spread of COVID is a completely different story.

Keep rule number two in mind: a mask needs to be effective and comfortable. Adults want stylish and comfortable PPE and the Titan is the gold standard. Not to mention parents will love the Titan Jr. which features 3-ply construction that keeps kids safe, comfortable, and cool while back at school.

Create a cohesive message while adding even more comfort with accessories like the Mask Keeper Pro, Mask Buddy Elite, or upgrade to one of our new PPE kits. Design a collection of items with your branding to create the perfect promo package to help keep people safe and healthy.

Back to the Office PPE Kit

Ease everyone into the new normal with these essential items
Includes: Phoenix face mask, My Fake Finger, and US-made sanitizer

Markets to Target

Truth be told, as you probably already know, face masks are selling themselves. So that must mean that most face mask markets are tapped out right? Wrong. According to ASI’s 2020 Global Ad Impressions Study a staggering 61% of consumers report they don’t yet own a logoed mask. Pause, and read that last sentence again. Queue mind blown emoji. Translation: there is still a huge piece of the promotional face mask pie yet to be had. Here are the top markets to go after:

Education – Everyone from administration to kids
Online Grocery Pickup and Food Delivery
Utilities – Electricity, gas, water, etc.
Home Remodeling
Technology Companies
Finance – Banks, credit unions, lenders
Going Back to the Office – Many businesses are bringing employees back to the office and it’s important to help them feel safe.

It’s Heeeere: Cold & Flu Season, Time to Bring in Promo Sanitizer

As winter sets in we all know deep down, even though some of us have a hard time admitting it, that the inevitable and dreaded cold and flu season is soon to follow. Not to scare you, but some might say it’s already here (Pssst…they’re right). Just like a bear goes into hibernation in late November you can count on the Bad Nasties to re-surface from their abhorrent abyss where they’ve been lurking and scheming as to how they’re going to get you sick. People will soon be blowing through sick days faster than Ferris Bueller, it’s time to bring in the reinforcements: promo hand sanitizers from SnugZ USA.

People need to be saved from that unpleasant sick-day-ending to the story. Why? Well, because noone likes the mid-winter office ghost town. Where hacking, sniffling, and nose trumpeting echo through cubicles. And lonely office chairs await their masters’ return.

During these cold months custom branded hand sanitizer is a great opportunity to not only gain exposure for your company, but to lend a clean hand (pun intended) and help prevent people from getting sick. Here’s why hand sanitizer is an effective way to promote your brand this winter:

1 – Sanitizer is a need, not a want. When is comes to health there is no compromise. People will do anything to avoid coming down with the flu. Can you blame them?

2 – Put your brand in their hands (literally). Right this moment someone is reaching into their purse, opening their glove box, heading for the medicine cabinet…you get the picture. Your name and logo will be seen and touched tens if not hundreds of times a day per person. The numbers really begin to add up.

3 – At home, in the car and don’t forget the office. That brings us to our next point, hand sanitizer is a budget friendly item. Meaning, give your customer 2 or 3 to keep you top of mind wherever they have a need for sanitizer.

4 – Going, going, gone. Each and every drop of that hand sanitizer will go to use this cold and flu season. Your marketing dollars will go further with custom branded sanitizer.

5 – They’ll thank you. At the end of the day it’s about developing and nurturing that relationship with your customer. In the end they’ll remember how you gave them a cool item that showed care for their well-being.

Don’t wait for those Bad Nasties to descend on your business, office, customers, or school. Because like death and taxes, those germs will come. Customize and order your promo hand sanitizers today!

Our full-color dye sublimated hoodies, tees, and backpacks are truly next-gen swag. You can start with a minimum order of one, but we have a feeling you’ll want way more than that.

Hazel Import Women’s Dye-Sublimated Short Sleeve T-Shirt

9 Ways to Give Mom the Peace and Serenity She Deserves this Mother’s Day

Mom. Mere. Mutter. Makuahine. Mathair. Madre. Okaasan. Mater. Mama. Me. Mam. Moeder. Ahm. Mae. Mor. Ema. Ina. Aiti. Mana. Ma.

Around the globe there are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to say Mom. Think, deep down, what comes to mind when you hear that simple three letter word? Love? Affection? Appreciation? Devotion? Fondness? Friendship? Respect? Tenderness? Care? Birth? Life? Sacrifice? Fun? The list of emotions we feel and the memories we have of our mothers is practically infinite.

No matter which culture you embody, we can all agree on one thing: Moms everywhere are the all-knowing, multi-tasking, no-days-off heroes that deserve to be celebrated and recognized, and not just because it’s Mother’s Day.

Just Out of Curiosity, What Do You Really Know About Reef-Safe Sunscreen?

Last May Hawaii’s state legislature passed a bill that prevents the sale of chemical sunscreens that not only cause harm to your body, but have been linked to coral bleaching. Senate Bill 2571 prohibits the sale and distribution of any sunscreen that contains common UV-filtering ingredients, such as oxybenzone or octinoxate beginning January 1, 2021. According to the Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology “chemicals in sunscreen kill coral and result in DNA damage in larval and adult stage coral. The impact on DNA limits coral’s ability to grow and develop healthily.”

Awareness is growing that sunscreen is a large contributing factor when it comes to one-fifth of the world’s coral reefs dying off over the past three years. It is estimated that anywhere from 6,000 to 14,000 tons of sunscreen, or the equivalent of 25 to 60 million bottles (yes, you read that right), wash off of swimmers and deposit into coral reef areas each year.

Reefs are not only dying at the hands of chemical sunscreen, but global climate change plays a main role as well due to rising ocean temperatures that cause coral to bleach. Why is this such a big deal?

Millions of tourists are drawn to the colorful reefs every year (highly vulnerable to sunscreen-induced coral bleaching)
According to the Smithsonian 25% of ocean life depend on reefs for food and shelter

So, in essence, we as humans need to take care of these spectacular ecosystems.

What can we do to help in the promotional products industry?

In order to save coral reefs there’s a lot of work to be done, but our choice as businesses and individuals in the Promotional Products Industry to promote reef-safe sunscreen can help reduce our impact on the environment! There are plenty of reef-safe options on the market for your consumers to choose from and that’s a great start.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN ORDERING REEF-SAFE PROMOTIONAL SUNSCREEN

SPF 30 lotion, SPF 30 lip balm and our mineral based zinc are all reef-safe sunscreen options from SnugZ USA.

Avoid the ingredients Oxybenzone and Octinoxate
Try out a mineral based sunscreen with the ingredients Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide
Ingredients must be “non-nano”, meaning the ingredients particles must be able 100 nanometers in size so they can’t be absorbed into coral
Indicated on the label that the product is indeed Reef-Safe – Do your homework and check the ingredients to be sure

Character Traits: Variations in Natural Leather

NO TWO HIDES ARE ALIKE

With every order, the Traverse craftsman starts with the raw ingredients – a piece of leather and a brand logo.

But instead of working with detailed blueprints, the master crafts his work one stitch and cut at a time. Just enough

structure to provide a template while still leaving room for improvisation and creativity. The result is not only

the longest lasting promotion you’ve ever seen, but one which elicits a visceral response above and beyond mere function.

Traverse has emerged as more than a great promotional product – it’s an emotional charge to the senses.

CHARACTER TRAITS

Variations that are found in natural leather make for a truly unique promotional product. Traverse leather goods elicit a

response each time they are shared and used. It’s a piece that will be kept and integrated into your life for years to come.

Learn more about each leather characteristic below.

WRINKLES

When an extra thick piece of leather is bent back on itself naturally, it adds character that creates dimension. It’s true what they say, a wrinkle merely indicates where a smile has been.

SCARS

These are heralded events in the lives of our cows and bulls – a tussle with the tough mesquite bushes, a battle, a run through the barbed wire fence. Typically these will surface as long thin black lines. The appropriate response is a nod of respect for a fight well fought.

STRETCH MARKS

These serve as an indication of life. Stretch marks occur with extremely fast growth or living large and in charge. Either way it means this animal was at the top of the metaphorical food chain. Share the glory and the gluttony.

CALLOUSES

And you thought the raised teats on a Longhorn were just for good looks? Callouses provide a great guard that limits scrapes and cuts as the cow walks through fields of prickly cacti. Callouses are the result of these life patterns, rubbing that itchy spot with your horn or sleeping on your side. See? Habits do make a difference. They will appear as small, circular, smooth markings.

INSECT BITES

These are visible signs that we’re not the only ones who battle tiny jaws, stingers and suckers. They may appear as tiny black or off-colored spots. Stand in stoic appreciation of the creature who was unable to slap a mosquito with its hoof.

VEINS

One of the key marking of a well marbled leather hide are veins. Note to be confused with a blood pumping body builder caught in a Vesuvius moment. Hmmm…Vesuvius Veins. It sounds like an iconic rock band or a really nice piece of leather.

Traverse: Fueld Films Story

Embark on a Fueld Films Journey

Recently, a distributor customer of ours called seeking unique promotional items for a client that truly embodied our craftsman mantra and literally does no other type of advertising except for promotional items. We wanted to tell their story. See first hand the power of promo products on set with Fueld Films.

“It’s kind of odd, but we don’t do any advertising. The only kind of marketing we do is promotional products. That’s it.”

Brady, Fueld Films
