If you’re able to make your brand well known in the community you’re doing business in, you can quickly get ahead of your competitors. If citizens feel as though your brand cares about the community, they will feel pride in supporting your business. If your business needs a boost, here are some of the best promotional items to help your brand become more well-known in your community:

Hats

Not unlike sunglasses, everyone enjoys receiving free hats and will be thrilled to help your brand out if you give them a hat for free. You can even attract new customers by advertising that you’re giving out hats with each first-time purchase of your products or services. Hats are wonderful for brand promotion because they are incredibly near eye level, which allows your brand to stand out to every person your customer passes. Because you can buy hats in bulk with ease, they are great for small businesses looking to expand their brand.

Flashlights

Flashlights are an essential tool for homeowners, as it allows them to deal with any problem they come across with ease (inside or outside the home). Because flashlights are frequently small and portable, they can be easy to misplace. Lots of homeowners enjoy keeping several flashlights on hand for when their preferred flashlight unexpectedly disappears or breaks. Giving free flashlights with your brand clearly displayed on them will provide a safety net for your clients and make your brand feel highly practical. You might even make them fall in love with your gift, and end up providing them with a new go-to flashlight, a flashlight with your brand on it.

Bottle Openers

In real life and during promotional marketing initiatives, bottle openers are a terrific way to start a conversation, and get the public to notice your brand. This promotional item gives you a fantastic opportunity to be creative with your marketing strategies because there are many ways to alter bottle openers so they have additional applications as well, so be sure to go with unique styles when purchasing branded bottle openers in bulk. Your customers will think of your business positively each time they crack open an ice-cold beer after a long, hard day of work. If they host big parties, the number of people exposed to your brand by a simple bottle opener will become that much more impressive.

Sunglasses

For many people, sunglasses are an absolute necessity year-round. After all, who wants to endure the glaring sun on their way to and from work? Sunglasses will continue to be necessary throughout the year, even after the snowy, cold months that we’re currently suffering through.  You’ve likely been handed a pair of promo sunglasses before, because of how frequently companies distribute branded eyewear to boost brand awareness for their company. Sunglasses are one of the most well-liked promotional gifts your business can provide to your clientele because they keep their eyes healthy while boosting your customers’ stylish wardrobes as well.

Plant Seeds

Consider distributing branded packs of plant seeds to your audience if you want to introduce them to a new and interesting activity or DIY project, and they will remember your brand’s gift for the rest of their lives. The push for more eco-friendly lifestyles has increased the popularity of home gardening, which has remained hugely popular over the past few years. You can start your clients on an awesome, thrilling new trip by enabling them to cultivate their own food using plant seeds. Just make sure to invest in bulk seeds that will grow into plants that are both appropriate for the area that you’re doing business in, and that are not too complicated to keep alive.

T-Shirts

T-shirts are one of the few promotional materials that are undeniably timeless, and perfect for any type of business looking to expand its brand. In addition to the fact that we could all use an extra shirt now and then, making a high-quality t-shirt will allow you to create a situation where you are turning loyal customers into a “walking billboard.” The idea goes like this: your client frequently sports your shirt, giving your brand free publicity throughout everyone they travel in public.
