How Custom Travel Mugs Can Help You Make a Lasting Impact

Custom Travel Mugs are not promotional handouts 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 successfully check those boxes, the travel mugs will be taken to the gym, the office, and anywhere else the recipient goes.  Everyone drinks water daily, and consumers are more aware of their choices between sustainable and single-use options.  

What Are the Benefits Of Custom Logo Travel Mugs? 

Logged travel mugs prevent more single-use plastic bottles from being added to landfills.  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 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 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 have a 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 does 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!  What is the point if you can purchase 1000 pens, but 75% of those pens get thrown away?  Did you provide any value by giving that pen to the recipient?  The best promotional travel mugs that provide impressions for years don’t get thrown away.  Those years of use are much more valuable long-term, but convincing companies to consider 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 must 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 year. Multi-functional and fashionable Water Bottles will be the water bottles that everyone chooses to use. 

Single-purpose water bottles JUST for 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 to enjoy the earth as long as we are supposed to.

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, does your custom logo travel mug hold cold-temperature and hot-temperature drinks for extended periods? 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, 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 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!
