Christmas offers a tremendous opportunity for promotional item gifts.

Whether you’re looking to create a seasonal giveaway, brand a Christmas hamper with your company logo, or you simply want to show a client some appreciation with a fancy gift, it’s the time of year that is practically built for your purposes - Everybody will be swapping presents, so your marketing team won’t even have to think of reason to create a fun giveaway.

Of course, while it’s a great time of year to get your name out there, it’s also what every other business will be thinking too.

You need to be able to stand out from the crowd if you want to get the most out of your Christmas promotional item.

Lucky for you, we’ve got 3 great tips to help you do just that!

How To Make Your Promotional Items Stand Out At Christmas

1. Choose A Promotional Item That Your Customers Need

It might be tempting to get your logo put on some novelty Santa hats, but think a little longer before you decide to do that.

How often do you see a person walking down the street in a Santa Claus outfit? About once a year we reckon.

It is a far more effective strategy to think of a seasonal gift that your customer will be able to use long after the New Year’s countdown.

A branded pair of gloves would be a good start. The winter months last a long time in Ireland so your customers will find good use for them for a long while to come. Pair them with a branded wool hat and a promotional jacket to really deck them out until summer.

Then, every time there’s a chilly breeze, your brand will be the first one they think.

2. Have Fun With Your Customers

It isn’t all about what you give away. Sometimes how you give it away can linger in memory a lot longer.

For example, you could have a Christmas sale in your store and put a nice promotional pen in the shopping bags of your customers.

Or you could invite your most important clients to a Christmas party and send them off with a goodie bag full of lots of mini-branded treats.

You could even stand outside your business door and hand our free gifts on the street.

Christmas can be a stressful time of year for people and you will experience some true appreciation if you bring a little cheer into their day.

3. Go Big To Get Noticed

If you have the budget for it, one way to make sure your promotional item gift is the one that everybody remembers is to go big.

That could mean buying a large amount of smaller branded gifts, or maybe just buying a custom hamper to use as a prize in a Christmas competition.

After all, when it comes to getting your brand noticed it isn’t always about delivering your promotional item directly to the doors of your customers.

A single spectacular prize can be used to generate interest in your company and get your Christmas giveaway shared across every social network your business keeps an account on.

It can be hard to come up with unique promotional product ideas. We’ve got a lot more choices to offer than deluxe Christmas promotional hampers of course, so when you’d like to know what would be the perfect option for you, contact our team and we’ll get you sorted today.

It’s that time of year again. It’s getting cold outside. People are starting to look for woolly hats and warm gloves. Everybody has a pair buried away somewhere, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy to find.

A new pair are always appreciated, and if you give away some with your logo stitched into the fabric, your brand is sure to be remembered for a long time.

Of course, there are lots of seasonal opportunities like this to create promotional merchanise, but winter is an especially good chance to spread awareness of your product or service.
