Back To School - How to Order Branded Gear for Students, Staff, and Events

Custom School Uniforms and Swag: How to Order Branded Gear for Students, Staff, and Events

Back-to-school season comes around every year, and smart planning ensures your school has custom school swag that’s impactful and memorable. The best time to plan branded merchandise for students, staff, and campus events is right at the end of spring—before everyone disappears for summer break. But we still have time! 


From school spirit wear to practical promotional giveaways, we have favorite strategies to make your school year kickoff a success. For example, custom hats are still one of the top-requested items. But the standard embroidered hat just doesn’t cut it anymore. Schools that order fully custom, color-matched hats instantly create buzz—parents at rival schools notice and start asking why their kids don’t have cooler school spirit gear.


If you have high school students, start the year with football-related gear—it’s one of those quintessential pieces of the American high school experience. And don’t forget teacher appreciation gifts. These need to be useful inside and outside the classroom. Don’t go cheap—teachers look forward to these every year, and they are evaluating the thought behind them. Consider tech gadgets, wellness items, or even branded self-care products.


The key takeaway? Whether for students, staff, or supporters, the most effective items are school promotional products that are actually useful—not just pens, stickers, or temporary tattoos. Think outside the box and your school swag will have a lasting impact.

Why Branded Gear Builds School Spirit
School can be challenging—between assignments, social dynamics, and peer pressure. Building school spirit through branded gear helps unify students and staff.
While individuality matters, shared school swag helps everyone feel like part of something bigger. When all students wear the same hoodie or lanyard, barriers drop and connections build. Even small items—like silicone wristbands or ID lanyards—create common ground.

School spirit wear is more than just clothing—it’s a culture-builder. It says: This is who we are. This is what we stand for.
Top Promotional Items for Students, Staff, and Supporters
When choosing school promotional products, consider three factors: guilt, loyalty, and usability.
Parents will buy something out of guilt because their child goes there, but loyalty and usefulness determine whether they’ll keep buying—and at higher price points. Usability is key. The more practical the item, the easier it is to get parents, students, and even alumni to support fundraising efforts.

Schools with a strong brand identity and loyal parent-teacher communities can sell school swag at premium prices. Keep trends in mind, adjust your handouts, and your school spirit wear will feel fresh all year long.

Uniform Add-Ons That Make a Statement (and Keep You in Dress Code)
Most schools don’t require a strict, head-to-toe uniform anymore, but almost every school has some level of dress code. That doesn’t mean school spirit can’t shine.
Small add-ons make a big impact:
Custom lapel pins for lanyards
Branded patches for backpacks
Logo keychains
If your school has a firm dress code, consider scheduling “casual days” where students can wear a school t-shirt or hoodie—it gives them something to look forward to and reinforces school pride.
Ordering Made Easy: Tips for Schools and Parent Committees
There are several ways schools distribute promotional products and school swag:
Bulk ordering: PTAs or PTOs buy items in bulk, store them, and sell them at back-to-school nights, conferences, and other events. It’s simple and profitable, especially for inexpensive items like stickers and t-shirts.
Batch ordering: Schools collect order forms for hoodies, hats, or school spirit wear, then submit them to a company like Be Branded for fulfillment.
School spirit stores: Be Branded can even provide an online storefront so parents and students can order directly. Schools just choose the items, and we handle the logistics.
Each method has its benefits, but the key is to choose a system that keeps school swag moving and builds excitement—not dust in a closet.

Customization Options That Showcase Your School’s Identity
Every school should have spirit staples—core products that always sell and always spark pride:
Hoodies: Students wear them year-round, and parents will buy them for younger siblings, too.
T-shirts: A must-have, especially if you refresh the design a few times each year. Go beyond just the school logo—try clever slogans, limited-edition “drops,” or event-specific designs.
Even if your business isn’t a school, these promotional product strategies work for onboarding, client gifts, and community events. But for schools, they’re invaluable for building school spirit and giving students and staff items they’ll actually use.
Back-to-school season is all about connection. The right school swag makes your brand stand out—and stick around.

Custom Embroidered Polos for Every Team

Branded Custom Polos and Unique Looks

Branded products, including branded custom polos, will bring your brand to an entirely new level of professionalism and help your team or business project a polished, consistent look. Sometimes, looking the part is half the battle when it comes to winning trust. If you have a salesperson randomly knock on your door and you have to choose who you will listen to—one wearing a t-shirt and one wearing a custom polo—who would you trust more? In a restaurant, if every staff member is in a t-shirt but you see two individuals wearing logo polos, doesn’t it instantly signal they’re likely in management? Absolutely.


Custom embroidered polos create another level of uniforming for your business and are considered the standard for almost every professional industry. Some companies can get away with outfitting their employees in branded custom t-shirts, but custom polos take everyone to the same level of professionalism and polish. As branded apparel continues to rank among the highest-performing promotional products—delivering some of the most impressions and highest perceived value—branded polos will continue to be a staple for businesses of all sizes, across every industry.


Custom Embroidered Polos with Your Logo
The industry standard for custom embroidered polos is an embroidered logo on the left chest—it’s timeless, clean, and doesn’t overpower the garment. The final cost of a custom polo is determined by the quality of the polo itself, the stitch count for your logo, and the number of embroidery locations you choose.

Beyond the left chest, common customization areas for branded custom polos include the sleeve, nape of the neck, or the right chest. If you’re creating a co-branded polo, it’s common to place the main logo on the left chest and the secondary logo on the right chest. If you want a more understated look, placing a logo just on the sleeve works beautifully. Sometimes you’ll be decorating polos that already have a stitched logo—like a Nike polo or an Adidas polo—and that helps determine the best placement for your custom embroidery.

Styles and Quality You Can Trust
Investing in premium branded apparel—especially custom polos—elevates your team’s look, boosts brand perception, and extends the life of your branded clothing. Higher-end fabrics create better fit, greater comfort, and longer durability, which means your employees will actually want to wear them. And when your team and even customers love what they’re wearing, they’ll rep your brand proudly, which equals more visibility for your promotional products investment.

Whether you’re looking for sporty custom polos or a more refined, professional look, we carry the brands that people trust. Some of the most popular options for branded custom polos include Under Armour, Eddie Bauer, OGIO, New Era, TravisMathew, Adidas, Cutter & Buck, Spyder, vineyard vines, and, of course, Nike. The right custom embroidered polo not only looks sharp but also becomes a long-term part of your branded apparel program.
****

Design Custom Polo Shirts
Corporate America has long played it “safe” with polos—solid colors, simple designs—but that’s changing. While many apparel suppliers have consolidated color options due to supply chain limitations, tops with prints and patterns are now breaking through. Solid polos remain the standard for the promotional products industry, but new styles keep coming out.

You can even create fully custom polos that are designed from scratch and dye-sublimated, allowing for an all-over print. Patches are becoming a regular customization option for polos, adding texture and dimension. Want to add a subtle upscale touch to your branded custom polos? Consider a custom woven label stitched to the sleeve or hem—it’s a small detail that can transform the look from simple to sophisticated.

Promotional Brand Growth from Polos
Polos aren’t always the product you sell directly at retail or hand out to every customer like a giveaway—but they are a cornerstone branded product for companies that want to stand out and look sharp. A branded custom polo signals professionalism and sets your business apart from the sea of competitors.

Investing in your brand—whether through promotional products, signage, or branded apparel like custom embroidered polos—isn’t just about looking good. It aligns your intentions with your presentation and helps transform your vision into reality. Every time an employee wears a branded polo, it reinforces your brand identity, both internally and externally.
Elevate Your Brand with Custom Polos
We’ve talked before about how branded apparel can make or break a brand’s perception. The same holds true for custom polos. Having a branded polo for your team versus not having one isn’t just about style—it shapes how customers see your company.

Polos also serve as a natural differentiator: office workers might stick to t-shirts, but field employees in branded polos send a stronger, more confident message. And when customers see that you’ve invested in a slightly higher-tier uniforming option like custom embroidered polos, their perception of your business goes up.

Whether you have three months before a big project or just a week and you need branded polos in a rush, we can help at Be Branded. From bulk orders to premium custom polo shirts, we’ll make sure your brand is represented the way it should be—professional, polished, and unforgettable.

Awards That Make An Impact

Looking for a meaningful way to recognize your team or impress your clients? Custom awards are the perfect choice for employee recognition programs, milestone celebrations, or standout client gifts.


An award is more than just a piece to display—it’s a lasting reminder of appreciation and achievement. Whether it’s recognizing hard work, honoring years of service, or saying thank you to a valued client, awards carry weight and create memorable moments.

Branded Gifts That Bring Holiday Cheer to Your Company Party

For any business, planning for the holiday party is one of the most involved events of the year. Getting every department on the same page can feel nearly impossible. How much should you budget per employee for company gifts? What are the most popular corporate holiday gifts that have wide enough appeal to minimize complaints? Should you hand out cash, logo hats, or something more meaningful? When should you order to avoid delays in production or inventory shortages?


Planning your company party should begin at the start of the year so you have time to prioritize these complex decisions. Many businesses that go completely custom with corporate gifts place orders by March or April, ensuring they’re prioritized and off the list early. If you wait until the last minute, Be Branded can still perform miracles. For example, in 2024 we delivered 500 custom dye-sublimated ¼ zips for a division of a well-known national grocery chain with only 10 days of notice—just two weeks before Christmas. Because we know trusted suppliers and their expertise, we can help you find the most success for rush holiday projects too.


Top Promotional Gifts to Make Your Company Holiday Party Unforgettable

The top promotional gifts that are safe holiday gifts for employees will always include high-quality apparel, blankets, tech gifts, food gifts, branded drinkware, and accessories. Custom embroidered hats, logo hats, and corporate hats are especially popular company gifts because they’re stylish, useful, and don’t require tricky size collection like shirts do. If you want to avoid complaints about fit, you can skip apparel altogether or set up a pop-up company store. That way, employees choose their own holiday gift within a curated selection of branded gifts and promotional products.


Branded Giveaways That Bring Extra Cheer to Your Holiday Party

To bring the most cheer to your company holiday party, give employees something useful as their holiday gift. If you want your company party to be the most talked-about event of the year, choose a corporate holiday gift that feels expensive, practical, and memorable. A strong option is something with a high perceived value that employees wouldn’t normally purchase for themselves—like tech gear, luxury drinkware, or corporate hats.


Another important part of company parties is recognition. Awards and corporate gifts tied to achievements matter. Employees expect and appreciate recognition in front of peers, and the holiday party is a perfect stage. Just make sure the award matches the achievement, because the wrong recognition strategy can backfire. Done thoughtfully, branded awards and company gifts at your holiday event build loyalty and long-lasting goodwill.


Corporate Holiday Gifts Employees Actually Want at the Company Party

Beyond the standard company gift handout, you can also include raffle-style giveaways or performance-based prizes. These types of holiday gifts for employees are best when purchased in smaller quantities—like premium tech gifts, branded jackets, or custom logo hats. At Be Branded, we offer many corporate gift solutions that work for both mass giveaways and one-off special awards.  When holiday gifts are approached as a retention tool, the entire conversation within your company will switch.  If you need a justification for the budget related to your holiday party just put the cost of acquiring and training employees in front of the decision-makers and let them know that they won’t need to spend so much of their budget if they approach the holiday party in the right way.


How Promotional Products Can Elevate Your Holiday Party Experience

The key thing to remember: choosing the wrong corporate holiday gift can do more harm than good. Don’t just repeat what’s been done in past company parties—ask trusted employees for input. They know what will resonate. Employees remember when a company cheapens out on holiday gifts or doesn’t put effort into the company party.


Holiday gifts are only part of the experience. Branded signage and décor help elevate your corporate holiday party. A themed backdrop for photos encourages employees to post on social media, extending your company’s brand reach. Directional floor signage can highlight messaging, giveaways, or lead guests to different party sections. With a well-planned theme tied to branded signage and thoughtful holiday gifts, your company party feels more professional, cohesive, and memorable.


And don’t forget the fun touches—like a giant novelty check for your employee-of-the-year award. Those details make corporate holiday parties unforgettable.


From Custom Swag to Party Favors: Holiday Giveaway Ideas for Your Team

If your business has a large number of employees, ordering holiday gifts earlier in the year helps stretch your budget. Early orders allow us to take advantage of custom manufacturing and ocean shipping, saving money while expanding your company gift options. That way, you’re not stuck relying only on in-stock promotional products that may run out during the holiday rush.


For companies with remote employees, we can also drop-ship branded gifts directly to their homes. This ensures every employee—whether local or remote—feels included in the holiday party celebration. Custom embroidered hats, logo hats, and corporate hats are especially easy to ship and create a sense of team unity.



With the right mix of promotional gifts, branded giveaways, and thoughtful corporate holiday gifts, your company party can truly deliver holiday cheer employees will remember all year.

Custom Golf Swag That Stands Out On and Off The Green

Giveaways for golf tournaments are often designed only for the event itself—but the smartest companies think bigger. The best promotional products for golf tournaments are items that have high perceived value at the tournament and stay useful long after the event is over.

One of our favorite handouts? Custom step stools. They might sound surprising, but these versatile promotional business products end up in garages, kitchens, and even the trunk of a car for years. They’re useful for kids reaching the bathroom sink, or for someone grabbing that top-shelf item at the grocery store.

 

Another trending giveaway in the promotional products industry is the WD40 Precision Pen or a custom-branded multitool. Golf may be stereotypically male, and those items appeal to that demographic—but they’re useful to anyone who values practical giveaways. Custom socks are another excellent handout—they’re worn during the tournament but continue to be useful off the green.

 

And of course, custom tumblers and branded water bottles that fit perfectly in a golf cart cup holder are ideal for tournaments—and continue to advertise your brand long after the last hole has been played.

 

Tee Up Your Brand: Must-Have Swag for Golf Tournaments

When you sign up as a title sponsor or hole sponsor, you need to show up with the right promotional products and signage to look like you belong.

Start with a 10’ x 10’ custom tent or canopy. A generic black or white tent from Costco won’t make you stand out. A fully printed, branded tent with your logo, phone number, and website will. It doesn’t just protect your people from the sun—it positions your company as a professional player in the game.

 

Pair your tent with custom feather flags—these tall, eye-catching pieces of signage come in single-sided or double-sided versions and make your booth visible from across the course. And don’t overlook your table. A custom table cover makes your booth look complete. If you’re not sure whether your table will be 6’ or 8’, order a convertible table cover that fits either size.

 

At Be Branded, we supply these essential promotional business products below standard market value:

·         10’ x 10’ tents under $1,000

·         Table covers under $250

·         Single-sided feather flags under $200

 

These are the baseline promotional products for any golf event—and we make them affordable.

 

Branded on The Green: Golf Giveaways That Make an Impact

When planning your golf tournament handouts, think about promotional products that don’t disappear after one day.  The usual freebies—bottled water, plain golf pencils, koozies, and standard golf tees—are overdone. They’re gone by the end of the round, and they don’t build much brand recognition.

 

Instead, upgrade to promotional business products that people keep in their golf bag for years:

·         Custom-branded energy drinks for a mid-round boost

·         Reusable infinity golf pencils with a keychain (so they never lose it)

·         Sunscreen & aloe vera packs for immediate usefulness

·         Microfiber golf towels with your logo

·         Branded shoe bags for tournament prizes

·         Divot repair tools golfers will actually use again and again

 

These giveaways don’t just promote your brand for a few hours—they turn into lasting promotional products that create real impressions.

 

From Fairway to Finish Line: Swag Ideas for Every Hole

At a golf tournament, you’re not just passing out stuff—you’re competing for attention. Every other sponsor is handing out promotional products too, so your job is to stand out.

Consider experiential giveaways: glove fittings, branded sunglasses fittings, or even raffles for high-end prizes like a premium watch. These moments create buzz and make your booth memorable.

 

Other promotional business products that golfers will use long-term include:

·         Logo golf ball markers

·         Branded club cleaner brushes

·         Custom golf club covers

·         Golf umbrellas with your logo

 

These items don’t end up in a junk drawer—they live in golf bags for years, promoting your brand every time they’re used.

 

Drive Visibility With Custom Golf Gear That Scores Big

One often overlooked detail? The apparel your team wears. Golf is a polo sport, not a t-shirt sport. Outfitting your team in custom logo polos—especially moisture-wicking, performance fabrics—creates a sharp, cohesive look and reinforces your brand image.

We can source branded polos from Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, and more—and yes, we can rush them if you need them fast.

 

Pair those polos with custom hats. Golf hats are more than functional—they’re fashion. We carry all the brands serious golfers wear: Melin, Vineyard Vines, Under Armour, Swannies, even Black Clover.

 

Together, branded polos and logo hats turn your team into walking, talking billboards for your company—and show you’ve invested in promotional products that fit the event.

 

The Ultimate Golf Swag Checklist for Your Next Tournament

Every golf event needs a few essential promotional products—and then there are optional add-ons depending on your budget.

The most common? Golf balls.

 

We carry every brand—from Titleist Pro V1s for the serious players to Callaway, Bridgestone, Taylormade, Wilson, Pinnacle, Warbird, and more for a range of price points.

 

Every golf ball order includes full-color print in one location, and we can do rush or standard timelines—sometimes as fast as a week, sometimes 7–10 business days, and for very large runs, up to 7–8 weeks.

 

Bottom line: The earlier you contact us, the more options you’ll have for your golf swag, apparel, and promotional business products to make your sponsorship really stand out!



Branded Awards for Your Employees and Business

Does your company currently hand out employee awards for recognition? Regardless of the time of year, right now is always the right time to plan something different for end-of-year recognition, quarterly awards, or even monthly recognition moments. Do you already do branded employee awards for leadership training, safety milestones, years of service, or end-of-year acknowledgments? If not, you’re missing an easy opportunity to increase retention and morale.

 

If your business isn’t doing employee awards at all, it’s time to seriously consider it. Employee recognition awards are more than just nice gestures—they can motivate employees, boost morale, and foster a more positive workplace culture. In today’s market, where retention is harder than ever and “job hopping” is the new normal, branded employee awards and recognition programs are a proven way to keep top talent. Remember: it’s far less expensive to retain employees than to constantly hire and train new ones, and something as simple as a branded award can make all the difference.

 

Custom Trophy Designs

Do you have someone in your company who deserves to be recognized for their outstanding achievements this year? Whether it’s an employee of the month, a top performer, or a dedicated team member who’s gone above and beyond, we’ve got the perfect branded employee awards to celebrate their success.

 

There are endless stock designs for trophies, plaques, and branded business awards, but we also create completely custom-shaped trophies and unique promotional business products that double as recognition pieces. You can go the classic route with engraved glass or acrylic, or break the mold with branded products that aren’t traditionally considered awards—but can still serve as branded awards your employees will proudly display. Whether you want simple text engraving or a full-color design, Be Branded can help design and deliver custom awards that reflect your brand’s personality.

 

Boosts Employee Motivation

Too often, companies overlook the importance of recognizing employees for their achievements. Whether someone has been with your company for one year, five years, ten years, or even 25 years, employee awards are the simplest, most effective way to acknowledge their contributions.

 

When done right, branded awards carry a weight that other forms of recognition simply don’t. People rarely complain on social media about receiving too much recognition—and you never see a negative post about a company that gave a thoughtful employee award. That’s because employee recognition awards feel personal, tangible, and meaningful. Employees take them home, show them to their families, and display them proudly.

 

In a world where many people barely want to do the bare minimum, branded employee awards can shift that mindset—turning disengaged employees into loyal, motivated ones who feel valued. Recognition breeds loyalty, and loyalty breeds effort.

 

Personalized Business Awards

Recognizing and appreciating employees is critical for retaining top talent and creating a healthy workplace culture. One of the best ways to show that appreciation is with custom branded awards that feel meaningful and personal.

 

Most custom awards have a minimum order of just one piece—making them ideal for personalized moments—and there are rarely setup fees beyond the item cost and freight. And don’t forget: branded awards aren’t just for employees. They can be created for sponsors, donors, board members, or even major event honorees.

 

Every major event without a personalized award is a missed opportunity. Many companies are now doing weekly branded employee awards, and the data speaks for itself: the companies that consistently recognize their teams tend to have dramatically higher retention rates than those that don’t.

 

Custom Engraved Designs

With so many employees switching jobs over the last few years, employee retention has never been more important—and recognition is key. Custom engraved awards come in countless materials, shapes, and sizes: from sleek crystal to rustic wood to polished metal.

 

Make your branded awards stand out by creating something employees want to proudly display in their homes or offices. Whether it’s a single annual award for an exceptional achievement or ongoing employee awards for monthly recognition, these promotional business products tell your team that you notice and appreciate their work.

 

Every branded employee award reinforces your company’s values and elevates your brand presence. Tangible recognition—something you can hold—goes further than verbal praise alone. Employees remember the moment they receive an award far longer than they remember an email “thank you.”

Strengthens Brand Identity

Employee appreciation is more important than ever, and recognizing your team’s hard work doesn’t just build loyalty—it strengthens your brand identity. Custom branded awards and plaques are perfect for year-end celebrations, annual meetings, or holiday parties.

 

Whether you’re looking for $500 custom trophies for an exclusive leadership award or cost-effective employee awards for safety certifications, Be Branded has options. Want to create perpetual awards—plaques or trophies you can add names to over time? We can help. Want to add a QR code to your award so recipients can scan it and watch a personalized video message from leadership? We can do that too.

 

If you don’t already have branded awards in your 2025 budget, it’s worth planning for 2026. The return on investment for employee awards and promotional business products that recognize your people will always outweigh the cost.



Branded Custom Polos and Unique Looks

Branded products, including branded custom polos, will bring your brand to an entirely new level of professionalism and help your team or business project a polished, consistent look. Sometimes, looking the part is half the battle when it comes to winning trust. If you have a salesperson randomly knock on your door and you have to choose who you will listen to—one wearing a t-shirt and one wearing a custom polo—who would you trust more? In a restaurant, if every staff member is in a t-shirt but you see two individuals wearing logo polos, doesn’t it instantly signal they’re likely in management? Absolutely.

 

Custom embroidered polos create another level of uniforming for your business and are considered the standard for almost every professional industry. Some companies can get away with outfitting their employees in branded custom t-shirts, but custom polos take everyone to the same level of professionalism and polish. As branded apparel continues to rank among the highest-performing promotional products—delivering some of the most impressions and highest perceived value—branded polos will continue to be a staple for businesses of all sizes, across every industry.

 

Custom Embroidered Polos with Your Logo

The industry standard for custom embroidered polos is an embroidered logo on the left chest—it’s timeless, clean, and doesn’t overpower the garment. The final cost of a custom polo is determined by the quality of the polo itself, the stitch count for your logo, and the number of embroidery locations you choose.

 

Beyond the left chest, common customization areas for branded custom polos include the sleeve, nape of the neck, or the right chest. If you’re creating a co-branded polo, it’s common to place the main logo on the left chest and the secondary logo on the right chest. If you want a more understated look, placing a logo just on the sleeve works beautifully. Sometimes you’ll be decorating polos that already have a stitched logo—like a Nike polo or an Adidas polo—and that helps determine the best placement for your custom embroidery.

 

Styles and Quality You Can Trust

Investing in premium branded apparel—especially custom polos—elevates your team’s look, boosts brand perception, and extends the life of your branded clothing. Higher-end fabrics create better fit, greater comfort, and longer durability, which means your employees will actually want to wear them. And when your team and even customers love what they’re wearing, they’ll rep your brand proudly, which equals more visibility for your promotional products investment.

 

Whether you’re looking for sporty custom polos or a more refined, professional look, we carry the brands that people trust. Some of the most popular options for branded custom polos include Under Armour, Eddie Bauer, OGIO, New Era, TravisMathew, Adidas, Cutter & Buck, Spyder, vineyard vines, and, of course, Nike. The right custom embroidered polo not only looks sharp but also becomes a long-term part of your branded apparel program.

 

Design Custom Polo Shirts

Corporate America has long played it “safe” with polos—solid colors, simple designs—but that’s changing. While many apparel suppliers have consolidated color options due to supply chain limitations, tops with prints and patterns are now breaking through. Solid polos remain the standard for the promotional products industry, but new styles keep coming out.

 

You can even create fully custom polos that are designed from scratch and dye-sublimated, allowing for an all-over print. Patches are becoming a regular customization option for polos, adding texture and dimension. Want to add a subtle upscale touch to your branded custom polos? Consider a custom woven label stitched to the sleeve or hem—it’s a small detail that can transform the look from simple to sophisticated.

 

Promotional Brand Growth from Polos

Polos aren’t always the product you sell directly at retail or hand out to every customer like a giveaway—but they are a cornerstone branded product for companies that want to stand out and look sharp. A branded custom polo signals professionalism and sets your business apart from the sea of competitors.

 

Investing in your brand—whether through promotional products, signage, or branded apparel like custom embroidered polos—isn’t just about looking good. It aligns your intentions with your presentation and helps transform your vision into reality. Every time an employee wears a branded polo, it reinforces your brand identity, both internally and externally.

 

Elevate Your Brand with Custom Polos

We’ve talked before about how branded apparel can make or break a brand’s perception. The same holds true for custom polos. Having a branded polo for your team versus not having one isn’t just about style—it shapes how customers see your company.

 

Polos also serve as a natural differentiator: office workers might stick to t-shirts, but field employees in branded polos send a stronger, more confident message. And when customers see that you’ve invested in a slightly higher-tier uniforming option like custom embroidered polos, their perception of your business goes up.

 

Whether you have three months before a big project or just a week and you need branded polos in a rush, we can help at Be Branded. From bulk orders to premium custom polo shirts, we’ll make sure your brand is represented the way it should be—professional, polished, and unforgettable.



Custom Hats Bring Your Brand to Life

Branded hats are one of the most effective promotional products you can invest in—and the trend never fades. Styles evolve, but the demand for custom hats remains constant. Whether you’re a corporation needing custom embroidered hats to make employees recognizable on job sites, an event organizer selling custom logo hats to connect with your audience, or a business needing wide-brim hats for outdoor workers, we can make it happen. Even if you just have a unique idea for a hat and need a trusted partner to bring it to life, Be Branded specializes in turning those ideas into branded hats your customers and employees will actually wear.

Design Your Custom Branded Hat

The classic corporate hat design is a simple embroidered logo front and center—but why stop there? At Be Branded, we create custom embroidered hats, patch hats, and printed foam hats that stand out. Patches are extremely popular right now, and fully custom hats—with unique brims, printed under-visors, and all-over designs—are becoming the go-to choice for brands that want to make an impact.

We offer completely custom logo hats starting at just 144 pieces, perfect for companies that want something truly unique. For smaller orders, we can embroider as few as six logo hats, and if you’re going with patches, minimums start at just 25–50 hats, depending on the style. Want custom embroidery on the side or back of the hat? We do that too. We’ve designed corporate hats for small businesses, created co-branded hats with NFL teams, and even developed custom branded hats for grocery chains and national retail brands.

Styles and Quality You Can Trust

What’s trending in 2025? Hat styles change, but quality never goes out of style. Bucket hats had their moment, dad hats are still popular, and trucker hats remain a forever classic. Performance hats that repel water are surging in popularity, while flat-bill hats, curved-bill hats, snapbacks, fitted styles, and flexfit hats continue to dominate the market.

We even offer custom hats with unique materials, like aluminum patch designs or hats with perforated mesh for breathability. Whether you need corporate hats for staff uniforms, custom embroidered hats for giveaways, or branded logo hats for resale, we make sure your hats look and feel great—because the better the hat, the more often it’s worn.

 

 

 

Custom Hats from Brands You Love

At Be Branded, we stock custom hats from the brands you already know and trust. Looking for budget-friendly corporate hats? We carry Port & Company. Want to go premium? We offer Nike, Melin, and TravisMathew hats.

Every embroidered logo is digitized by a U.S.-based specialist to ensure clean, precise stitching on your custom embroidered hats. We’ll send you a digital mockup of your logo hat before production, and for larger orders, we’ll even provide a physical “sew-out” so you can approve the stitch quality before we run your bulk order.

Wondering what’s the most popular branded hat in the U.S.? Year after year, it’s the Richardson 112 trucker hat—the original and most trusted, offered in dozens of colors. Click HERE to see what we are talking about.

Promotional Growth from Branded Hats

When it comes to promotional products, hats deliver a better return than many low-cost items. Hand out 100 pens or one custom logo hat—which one will be used more? Pens get lost, but branded hats stick around. If someone loses their favorite hat, they’ll often buy another one—that’s how much emotional attachment a great hat creates.

Of course, corporate hats aren’t for every situation. Giving away thousands of hats at a massive conference might not make sense—but using branded hats as special giveaways for VIP clients, engaged prospects, or your biggest fans creates major impact. Hats aren’t just handouts—they’re promotional apparel with long-term brand value.

Elevate Your Business with Custom Hats

Custom embroidered hats are more than fashion statements—they’re branded apparel that lasts. People wear hats year-round, and a great custom logo hat gets seen everywhere—on job sites, in gyms, at games, and at events. Hats don’t just get worn; they become part of people’s collections, meaning your logo stays visible for years.

At trade shows, we’ve displayed racks of branded hats and watched the same reaction every time: people gravitate to them and ask, “Are these free?” Hats stand out because they’re seen as valuable and wearable. At Be Branded, we design custom embroidered hats that people want—not just another promo item, but a logo hat they’ll proudly put on their head.

How Apparel Builds a Strong Brand Identity

Custom shirts are more than clothing—they unify people and create lasting impressions. Branded apparel brings teams together and creates memorable photos and keepsakes that live on social media long after the event. When customers, employees, and followers see your branded shirts online, they see a cohesive, professional brand identity. Imagine your HVAC technician arriving in jeans and an unmarked shirt—it feels less professional. Now imagine them in clean, branded apparel—you immediately trust the service more. Matching shirts aren’t just for businesses—they work for events, family reunions, races, and even safety purposes. In warehouses, for example, color-coded shirts can distinguish management from staff. Branded custom shirts can be a tool, a unifier, and even a safety measure when done thoughtfully.

 

The Marketing Power of Branded Custom Shirts

Using branded custom shirts as part of your marketing strategy is a smart move for any business with customers, fans, or followers. Branded shirts turn your customers into your best sales team—they wear your shirt, and people ask about your business. They’re walking advertisements. Free t-shirts are great giveaways, but when someone loves your design enough to buy a branded shirt, it’s even better. If you’re not using promotional products and branded apparel as part of your marketing plan, you’re missing a huge opportunity. At Be Branded, we’ll help you avoid common mistakes so you create custom shirts people actually wear—not shirts that sit in a drawer.

 

Designing Effective Branded Custom Shirts

The best promotional products elevate your brand—and branded custom shirts do it especially well when designed thoughtfully. A well-designed, meaningful custom shirt unifies a group and becomes something they want to keep wearing. That’s why families at reunions, businesses at retreats, and teams at events all wear matching branded shirts—it creates connection. Some branded shirts feature inside jokes, nicknames, or a family crest. The more meaningful the design, the more the shirt will be worn again and again. Quality matters too—cheap shirts get shoved into pajama drawers or become yardwork shirts. Investing in higher-quality cotton blends or tri-blend shirts means your branded apparel stays in rotation. If your shirts are for an event, a smart distribution method ensures everyone gets their size, and the custom shirts actually get worn.

Large Quantity Custom Holiday Projects - Plan Early

Yes it is only May 30th and 209 Days Until Christmas.  Yes, it's closer to Christmas 2024 than 2025.


BUT with the tariff uncertainty ups and downs, it is good to start looking at projects very early this year.  This way, we can make informed decisions based on pricing that we can review daily or weekly, allowing you to take action when it makes sense.


Whether it is a large quantity or a small quantity, it is a good idea to get a feel for what current pricing is AND if budget allows, it's not a bad idea to consider ordering now if it makes your budget go further by holding onto the completed/delivered project until it is time to hand it out.


If we wait until September/October, it will be more of an "it is what it is" kind of situation and whatever inventory and pricing is at that point we won't have the maneuverability that we have by starting early.


Being able to custom order in large quantities VS ordering available stateside inventory will reduce costs.  Being able to ship something through Ocean transit VS Air is a game changer and will also reduce costs.


We can help with Custom Apparel:

Hoodies

Jackets

Beanies

Scarves

Completely Custom Dyed Patterns Of Apparel


We can help with Custom-Assembled & Completely Specialized Gift Kits:

Snow Globes

Kitchen Items

Electronics

Themed Items

Blankets


We can ship everything to one location.  We can also drop-ship to 2000 locations.  It is all the same to us and we can work with you on a project to deliver it however you need it.


Etc.


We will help you whenever you reach out to us, BUT this is information to consider : )

Custom Travel Mugs

How Custom Travel Mugs Can Help You Make a Lasting Impact

Custom Travel Mugs are not a promotional handout that customers and employees tend to throw away.  The catch here is that you must choose a travel mug that has enough quality, value, and is in line with current trends.  If we are successful in checking those boxes then the travel mugs will be taken to the gym, to the office, and anywhere else that the recipient goes.  Everyone drinks water every day and consumers are more aware of their choices between sustainable and single-use options.  



What Are the Benefits Of Custom Logo Travel Mugs?

Logoed travel mugs prevent more single-use plastic bottles from being added to the landfill.  There is a reason why so many fill stations show you how many bottles would have been added to the landfill had you made a different decision.  It feels like your choice to inconvenience yourself by having to carry around a travel mug is even almost altruistic.  The personal benefits of staying hydrated cannot be overlooked.  Have you been at the airport and had to spend $5 on a bottle of water?  How many times has that happened?  What if you just had your custom travel mug with you?  Problem solved!



How Can Travel Mugs Make a High-Impact?
If given the option to choose between a travel mug or a pen which one, would you choose?  What about if we threw a sticky note in there?  A stress ball?  What if we put a travel mug up against a notebook?  Custom travel mugs are higher impact than traditional handouts because of scarcity.  Less companies hand out travel mugs to their employees, customers, and prospects.  This means that the experience of receiving a travel mug is more memorable and takes up more space in someone’s thoughts than a pen, sticky note, stress ball, or notebook.  Being different instead of camouflaging your efforts by doing what every other business is doing is one ingredient in a winning marketing strategy!  When customers see your quality merch it can reinforce the perception of your brand as premium and reputable.


The Importance of Long-Term Logo Placement
Impressions matter!  If you can purchase 1000 pens, but 75% of those pens get thrown away what was the point?  Did you provide any value by giving that pen to the recipient?  The best promotional travel mugs don’t get thrown away and provide impressions for years to come.  Those years of use are much more valuable long-term, but convincing companies to think about the value of long-term impressions versus the short-term cost is challenging.  Staying power and handing out items that won’t get thrown away needs to be top of mind otherwise we are just buying bulk throwaway items because that’s “just what we’ve always done.”


Promotional Products that People Need
Plastic Water Bottles will eventually get banned with the direction that the world is heading in. Sustainability is here to stay and getting more popular taking up more market space every single year. Multi-Functional & Fashionable Water Bottles will be the water bottles that everyone chooses to use. Single purpose water bottles JUST for the purpose of drinking water had their place in the past, but we need to do better.  This isn’t about global warming or anything intensely political  We have a choice to add to the landfill or to not add to the landfill.  It is almost to the point that we need to put a custom travel mug, water bottle, or portable drinkware in every human’s hands so that we can enjoy earth as long as we are supposed to.



Be Branded is The Best Company for Custom Travel Mugs
At Be Branded we know the trends in the promotional products industry surrounding custom travel mugs.  The best promotional travel mugs have better “technology” than even some of the most recognizable brands and so you don’t need to break the bank to purchase these travel mugs. If we had to define good, better, and best travel mugs with a range of prices then good is between $10-$20 per travel mug, better is between $20-$40 per travel mug, and best will come in at $40+ per travel mug. 


What Features Should I Look For With My Custom Travel Mug?
When considering which travel mug is best for you there are a few things to consider beyond the physical appearance of it.  First is does your custom logo travel mug hold cold temperature and hot temperature drinks for extended periods of times? You don’t need your travel mug to hold cold and hot temperatures for 48 hours, but there are options out there that accomplish that if you want it to.  Second is does it fit in your cup holder?  So many travel mugs are too large to fit in a standard cup holder and you are stuck holding it in one hand while you are driving which is both a nuisance and dangerous!  Lastly, is my travel mug spill-resistant or spill-proof?  Accidents happen and with the right option your travel mug tipping over won’t ruin your day!

Why Water Bottles Are One of The Best Promotional Products

Why Water Bottles Are One of The Best Promotional Products

Did you know that in the past 12 months, 10% of ALL promotional product sales were none other than... drinkware! When was the last time your company handed out promotional water bottles to either your customers or your employees?  If you’ve never handed them out before you are missing out on an opportunity to take up valuable impressions and real estate in the lives of those customers and employees.  Almost everyone has a water bottle and why shouldn’t it be yours that they are using?  Everyone drinks water.  Everyone gets thirsty.  Everyone wants impressions.  Choosing water bottles is an easy choice!


Customized Water Bottles Make an Impact

Promotional Water Bottles can make an impact on your brand impressions, brand loyalty, and the environment so let’s talk about it!  Impressions matter in a world where advertisements are constantly placed in front of consumers.  Custom Water Bottles definitely contribute to more impressions than some of the traditional handouts that most companies use as their go-to handouts.  Be different and instead of ordering 1000 pens, order 50 much more trackable water bottles.  Be selective with your handouts instead of putting out conference trick-or-treat options that get thrown away.  Reward your employees or customers by making them excited to be a part of a brand that is thoughtful in their retention programs.  No one ever stayed at a company because they were given a pen, sticky note, and notebook as part of their onboarding kit.  A nice custom water bottle is much more impactful and results in a much more loyal following while also likely increasing retention.  Lastly, custom water bottles contribute to important sustainability efforts that help humans be more responsible citizens.  Single-use plastics are on the way out and even banned in many parts of the world




Different Types of Custom Water Bottles

Promotional water bottles come in many different qualities, styles, and functionalities.  Asking yourself what the purpose of your custom water bottle handout is makes for a good starting point.  Considering your budget and different features you would like included will help you narrow even closer to your water bottle selection.  There are bike bottles that are typically used for custom water bottles in bulk to support schools, races, conferences, etc. These are almost responsible single-use options that support the sustainability initiative while also maintaining a low cost per custom water bottle.  For many, a tumbler is also considered a water bottle and would be the next step up in price and functionality.  These usually come with a straw and come in both single and double-walled options.  The more “walls” a drinkware item has contributes to how long the original temperature can be sustained for. Double-walled or double-insulated is the standard for most drinkware and anything less than that is more like a glorified cup with a lid.  There are even triple-walled or triple-insulated custom water bottles available now.  Do you want your promotional water bottles to be made from plastic, acrylic, aluminum, or stainless steel?  Again, stainless steel is going to be what you should aim for if your budget allows for it.  Water bottles come in a variety of shapes and sizes which allows for you to best match your brand or theme to a water bottle of your choosing.  Do you want your water bottle to have a handle?  Do you want your custom water bottle to have a wide mouth lid that you can twist off?  Do you want a flip top lid so you can access the water without taking off the lid?  There are likely more variables to consider when deciding which water bottle is right for you than you previously expected! 



How Water Bottles Can Elevate Your Promotional Product Game
If you have not handed out custom water bottles before it is something that should be considered.  Many companies get stuck in a handout funk where they continue buy items in bulk that they have always handed out just because.  Considering options that you have not considered before can contribute to excitement, increased brand loyalty, and make your company stand out from the competition.  When you look at the logoed items that you have in your house that you have not thrown in the trash – consider why that is and then consider custom water bottles in bulk for your next event, handout, or project!


Why The Quality of Product Matters
How varied are the quality of water bottles in the promotional products industry?  There are water bottles that will melt if you put them in the dishwasher.  There are water bottles that don’t really keep your water cold and are basically cups with lids.  There are also water bottles that are dishwasher sage.  There are water bottles that can keep cold water cold for 48 hours.  You can spend $1 on custom water bottles in bulk, and you can also spend $65 on an on-brand Stanley or Hydro Flask water bottle.  No matter what quality of water bottle you are looking for make sure that it is BPA Free which is a standard of manufacturing water bottles that should be maintained by reputable manufacturers custom logo water bottles.


How Be Branded Can Help You Create High-Impact Custom Water Bottles
At Be Branded we pride ourselves in being a partner that strategizes with you to best represent your brand.  We can make higher impact suggestions the better we know your story.  Choosing out promotional water bottles is not as easy it sounds! The variety of options is pretty endless.  By knowing your budget, event theme, purpose, audience, and timeline we can put together results that don’t come from the standard way most orders happen.  We want you to have whatever return on investment you are looking for and that won’t happen by just going onto our website and doing a search of the word “water bottle”.  Give us a call.  Shoot us an email.  Let’s get on a strategizing session and choose the best custom logo water bottles for your company and brand!

Promotional Products for Conferences & Tradeshows

Promotional Conference Items & Custom Convention Gifts

What should I hand out at a conference? What should I hand out at a convention?

 What promotional marketing collateral do attendees want to see? One of the most important things to remember is that you will not stand out if you hand out the same branded products as other exhibitors. Your promotional conference items are just one part of your exhibiting strategy, but they are one of the most important facets to consider because those handouts are one of the easiest ways to stay in front of your audience. Maybe it wasn’t the right timing for an attendee to pull the trigger at the time of the conference or convention, BUT they used your swag consistently, and you were the first call when it came time to decide because of that.



Promotional Products for Conferences & Tradeshows

Can an inexpensive swag item really make a difference?

 What are trending conference and convention items? Have we ever received a phone call or inquiry years after we handed out an item? Absolutely. We have handed out so many useful items that it is not unique for us to receive a phone call or email that says, "We met at X Conference a few years back. We grabbed X product from your booth, and the timing just hasn’t been right, but we have been using that product frequently, so you have been top of mind."

Do we also email and call these customers who eventually reach out? Yes. They are integrated into our marketing outreach, but sometimes the only difference in the minds of our potential customers between Be Branded and Company B is that there’s a feeling of obligation to give Be Branded a try because they met us in person and we gave them something useful for free.

Recent examples of that:

One cutting board: Used daily for 18 months before this. Now, the customer has reached out asking if we could help with X, Y, and Z.

One pen: Yes, we know this goes against everything we say about pens, BUT this was a pen we had customized in the customer’s colors with their name and company name on it, making it unique and impactful.

One backpack cooler: Sent to a customer with their logo on it. Frequently used for family hikes, and they eventually reached out with a project.

As long as the products you hand out don’t get thrown in the trash, they will be working for you in the background.



Business Conference Giveaways
The variety of promotional marketing collateral for conferences is pretty endless. Working with a promotional product professional instead of choosing products completely on your own is important. The items selected should always be strategically chosen, considering budget, audience, quantity, and other relevant factors such as timeline and brand colors.
If you asked us what the best promotional handouts are right now, the answer would be different in 3 months or 6 months. Generalizing branded products is the exact reason why so many handouts end up directly in the trashcan. The obvious handout might be the same thing another 20 exhibitors are handing out. At Be Branded, we want to get to know your audience and brand. THEN we will help guide you through a selection of options and explain our reasoning for suggesting those items.
We offer tote bags, banners, padfolios, pens, folders, speaker gifts, lanyards, and all the traditional items you would expect from a promotional product company.
 

Trade Show Signage
What are the best trade show signage items I should purchase for my conference setup?
 In past blogs, we’ve referenced this frequently, but there are a few musts for every setup:
Table Covers: These are essential, whether it’s a small conference or a large convention. A 6’ table cover is the most frequently purchased, followed by the 8’ size. The 4’ size is less common. Table covers come in many styles, including loose fit, fitted, stretch, and convertible with Velcro. Open-back covers are increasingly popular for storage and easy access to branded products under the table. You can even purchase table covers made of recycled materials. Always bring an iron or steamer to ensure your table cover looks professional and wrinkle-free.
Retractable Banners: Invest in a sturdy retractable banner with essential information and a scannable QR code. Don’t skimp on quality.
Additional Signage: Over time, add items like backdrops, a 10’ x 10’ tent, or tabletop signage as your budget allows.


Printed Promotional Items
How do I stand out with my branded products at a conference?
 Something we frequently do when exhibiting at a conference is walking the entire floor to see what others are handing out and assess how unique our handouts are. We aim to be the only ones offering our specific products so that word spreads among attendees that they need to visit our booth.
Unique items always perform better than generic ones. Unique AND useful items come in first place. Unique AND useful items that resonate with your audience perform even better. The more thoughtful your strategy, the better your results. Your effort will not go unnoticed.
 

Trade Show Giveaways
At Be Branded, we have 3 suggests
Trick-or-Treat Items: These are inexpensive, useful items for all attendees but not gatekeeper items you track. Examples include chip clips, lip balm, grocery totes, cord organizers, phone stands, popper balls, and calendars. Avoid generic pens unless there’s a compelling reason.
Strategy Over Tradition: Don’t choose items just because "it’s always been done." Our approach helps maximize ROI and elevates your performance at conferences and conventions.
Utilize An Expert: We’ll show you how our knowledge and suggestions can help you stand out, offering a superior experience compared to what others in this space provide.  We can help you select your medium-cost and higher-end items and how to go about handing them out.

Celebrate Pride with Custom Branded Merch

Be Proud of Your Pride Giveaway Items

Pride Month happens every June and Be Branded is here to support your needed promotional products for Pride!  Inclusivity is and always has been so important and whether for your employees, customers, or for parades/other events we have the unique promo products that you are looking for.  If you want to keep your logo a neutral color while having products in multiple colors to represent the rainbow we can help.  If you want to do Pride giveaway items and put your rainbow logo on products, we can also help with that.  Some products won’t allow for multi-color print, but at Be Branded we can help you navigate all of the options.  Lastly, if you would like to find products that best represent your organization while only doing products that come in rainbow, ombre, or gradiented as the product color, we have lots of those!  Check out our past blog with many of these options CLICK HERE . Reach out to see how we can help!


Unique Pride Items

There are many products out there that have been to death for Pride events. Do any of them come to mind?  We talk about them throughout this blog!  Why don’t you do a unique promo product instead!? Have you ever thought of doing some teddy bears?  We have you covered!  What about condoms?  We have done thousands!  My favorite product that has not been done enough is nail polish.  Yes, we have buttons, lapel pins, wristbands, and anything else standard that comes to mind, but we can also do all of the unique items that you haven’t even thought of yet!



Koozies

One of the simplest, but most valuable products you can do in a hot month is a koozie.  They are immediately useful at most summer events, but with a good design, it can also be a unique promo product.  We can do koozies for standard cans, slim cans, tall boys, and bottles!  On standard koozies, we can do printed or full-color print.  On much nicer stainless steel options, we can also engrave them.  We even have koozies that double as a flashlight!


Lighters

Unique promotional products for Pride Events have increased in popularity in the past few years to stay relevant.  One of the most basic, but useful products that you can hand out or even sell is lighters.  Depending on your audience and the purpose there are inexpensive lighter options and higher-end lighter options.  Clipper lighters, Bic lighters, and Zippo lighters are all great options.  Your choice of branded and customized lighters depends on your brand messaging as well as the price point you are trying to hit.  At Be Branded we can supply you with any lighter you need! Lighters are a useful and consistent need for many individuals and can make for a great Pride giveaway item.



Hats

At Be Branded, we can do rainbow-colored hats for Pride events.  We can also do digitally printed patches that have all the colors of any logo that you’d want.  If you want to do a hat with a rainbow underbill, we can do that.  If you want to do a tie-dyed hat, we have those. If you want to do multi-colored bucket hats we can do that as well.  Want some rainbow visors – we can do those as well!


T-Shirts

T-Shirts never get old.  T-Shirts can be cheap, high-quality, or somewhere in the middle.  If you are doing a t-shirt as a unique promo item for a Pride event, the most important thing is the design.  If the design speaks to your unique audience then your audience will buy and wear it. We can crank out t-shirts in about 2.5 weeks after an order, so make sure to order in the beginning of May if you are considering doing them as your Pride giveaway item.  We can screen-print up to 9 colors on each side of your shirt and on the sleeve!



Umbrellas


Umbrellas are rarely a product that is purchased unless it is downpouring outside OR you live in a location of the country that consistently gets rain.  Colorado was an interesting place in 2023 and experienced downpour after downpour with rain and hail galore and was one of the wettest on record!  However, with how unpredictable the weather is here, are umbrellas truly a valuable and unique promo product as a Pride giveaway item? The answer is a resounding YES!  If it rains you can avoid getting drenched.  If it is a drought In the summer rest assured that you can use your umbrellas to shade you from the sun.  Much of the rest of the world uses umbrellas in this manner and the trend is catching on in the United States.


Totes


As bag bans and bag taxes increase throughout the country, reusable grocery totes continue rising in popularity. If you do a grocery tote as a promotional product for Pride it is important to make sure the quality of the tote you do is better than what other companies are handing out – otherwise, your product will blend into the crowd.  One important feature of any Pride item is that it should stand out in a good way and not come across as inexpensive.  Quality items that improve your Pride giveaway item recipient’s life in some sort of way will lead to a significantly better ROI in the long run.


Water Bottles


Water bottles and tumblers are products that require a bit more capital.  However, drinkware is a great item to keep under your exhibit table to hand out to those whom you have conversations with that isn’t just trick-or-treating for every free handout possible.  June is the start of the much hotter summer months and water bottles or tumblers could be the unique promo products that stay in the hands of your customers for months or even years depending on the quality that you hand out.



We are ready to brainstorm with you!

Reaching out sooner than later is always best to ensure that we can deliver the Pride giveaway items that you are looking for before your event.  If you need additional ideas to brainstorm for your promotional products for Pride please make sure to check out Be Branded on Facebook CLICK HERE

and Instagram CLICK HERE. We post on social media multiple times a week and our posts are relevant to current product trends to prepare you for your upcoming events.  Brainstorming with you to make sure we choose products that are relevant to your customers is much better than just going to our website and doing all that research yourself.  Let us help you valet park right to the products that are right for you instead of taking hours to self-park!  Remember that we are not limited to just these items, but many popular items for Pride events include Umbrellas, Koozies, Condoms, Teddy Bears, Hats, T-Shirts, Nail Polish, Beach Balls, Wrist Bands, Cinch Bags, Tumblers, Lapel Pins, and Buttons.

Save on Costs by Ordering Smarter in 2025

In 2025, many companies are looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. One simple way to do that is by ordering in larger quantities less frequently.


For example, if you order 100 t-shirts 12 times a year, your cost per shirt could be significantly lower if you order 1,200 at once or even 600 twice. This isn’t always top of mind with day-to-day needs, but it can lead to major savings.


With larger orders, we can also explore fully custom manufacturing options overseas or elsewhere, often reducing costs while increasing customization. One restaurant we worked with was paying $3.90 per pair for basic socks with minimal customization. By adjusting their order volume, we brought costs down to as low as $3.00 per pair—while upgrading them from one generic style to 12 unique options.


If you're interested in seeing how we can help optimize your orders in 2025, let’s chat!
