Stay ahead of the marketing and advertising game by keeping track of what’s “in” this coming year. Promotional products will continue to be staples at trade shows, conventions, and big events.
It has been an awesome year for the promotional products industry. According to sales data from PPAI, there has been a 5.9% increase from last year. For 2019, businesses need to choose trending products and keep up with the latest industry practices.
Here are some of the promotional products trends that marketers need to watch for 2019:
Wireless Tech Accessories
Accessories for mobile phones that no longer require wires will be big this coming year. Here are a few items you can customize and explore for gifting:
Charge up your phone and use your optical mouse using the Wireless Charging Mouse Pad. It’s the perfect desktop accessory for your VIPs or employees. Have a one-color imprint of your company logo in the middle of the pad so you’re sure your brand gets the attention it deserves.
Combine great design and wireless technology with the Xoopar Geo Wireless Optical Mouse. The design features white skeletal lights and matte finish making it a super modern looking piece of desk accessory. It also comes with its own cloth pouch to complete the kit.
Bluetooth technology is also more trendy than ever. The PROTON™ single Bluetooth earbud allows you to listen to your device while still being able to be aware of your surroundings. Double flanged ear tips and a high-quality chip set ensure the highest sound quality available. Expect 2019 to show plenty of wireless tech and we can’t wait to see those in the coming months!
Eco-Friendly Giveaways
Sustainability is in for 2019. Clients and consumers like seeing and receiving eco-friendly promotional products and it’s a trend that will continue to top the list in the next two years. By customizing and giving away natural and eco-friendly products to improve your marketing strategy, your brand will become increasingly popular among consumers.
Reusable bags like the ECO Foldable Tote Bag can be used by retailers, large stores, and even artisan stores to promote their business. No more plastics! Giving away a reusable item that they can keep in their bags is a sure way to get customers excited.
Reusable bottles like the 17 oz. MOD Vacuum Water Bottle lets you imprint a full color design. It’s slim and lightweight so it makes it easy for everyday use the office or in school. Since it’s double walled, it keeps beverage cold for hours.
If you’re looking for a high-capacity double walled bottle, you could also check out the 25 oz. Seville Stainless Steel Bottles.
Another eco-friendly must have is a reusable, collapsible straw. It comes with its own container, making it easy to carry in your bag for daily use. Attach the plastic box to your keys so it’s with you all the time. It’s a great promotional giveaway for restaurants, cafes, tea shops, and even the office.
HEALTH AND FITNESS
According to Statista, there are over 38.5 thousand fitness and health clubs located in the United States with 55 million members. That’s a huge marketing opportunity for businesses, even those that aren’t necessarily part of the health and fitness industry.
Combine mobility and fitness with the Ridge Yoga Bag. It can carry your mat, your water bottle, toiletries, and, more. Gotta love this bag!
Wearable fitness accessories are also going to be on trend just like the Track-All Fitness Tracker. This tracker is designed to be worn all day and lets you monitor and log your everyday routines, from eating and sleeping habits to calories burned.
