Spring Swag Favorites For 2022
Spring is a time of renewal, so it’s not surprising many promotional campaigns coincide with springtime. As the chill of winter recedes, people start spending more and more time outdoors, which means any promotional gifts they wear, carry, or use are displayed to others. Spring sees a bump in brand impressions, and spring swag ensures your brand gets the exposure you need.
Spring Swag Ideas
The best spring swag is all about enjoying the outdoors. A personalized pair of sunglasses, a lightweight jacket, or golf accessories are all great spring swag ideas. For large promotional events such as races, concerts, and conferences, opt for in-bulk purchases of tote bags, sunglasses, and T-shirts. For special clients, partners, and valued employees, personalize your spring swag based on their interests. A health enthusiast may appreciate a well-made gym bag, while someone with a family might prefer a four-set picnic basket.
With that in mind, here are the best spring swag ideas for 2022:
T-Shirts
Spring is the start of T-shirt season. After the long winter months people are ready to shed their winter coats and sweaters for lighter T-shirts. Give your customers and employees a new, customized T-shirt this spring and it will generate brand impressions into the fall. High-quality personalized T-shirts include the following:
- The Mèlange Tech T-Shirt by Adidas, or its companion, the Women's Mèlange Tech V-Neck T-Shirt
- The.Heavyweight Short Sleeve Pocket Tee by Berne Apparel
- The Women's Tri-Blend T-Shirt by Bella + Canvas
- The Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tee by Bella + Canvas
Lightweight Jackets
Spring is a changeable season. A warm sunny morning can transform into a windy, rainy afternoon without much warning. People trade their heavy winter coats for lightweight jackets in the spring, and a canny promotional campaign can capitalize on this trend. Consider customizing any of these stylish, lightweight jackets:
- The Ladies' Black Diamond Soft Shell Jacket or the Men's Black Diamond Softshell Jacket
- The Women's Textured Full-Zip Jacket by Adidas
- The Crowley Soft Shell Jacket by Carhartt
- The Ladies Soft Shell Jacket by Eddie Bauer
- The Essential Rain Jacket by Caterpillar
Tote Bags
Single-use plastic bags are disliked by an increasingly environmentally conscious consumer base, and often banned by local ordinances. The most common substitute, paper bags, tear easily and put pressure on limited natural resources. Reusable tote bags are not only better for the environment — their large fabric sides offer a highly visible canvas for screen-printed or embroidered logos. Use tote bags as standalone gifts, or fill them with promotional giveaways for conferences. Possible tote bags include
- The Over-the-Shoulder Grocery Tote by Port Authority
- The Camino 35 Carry All Tote Bag by YETI
- The Canvas Promo Tote by BagEdge
- The Improved Essential Tote by Port Authority
- The Pigment-Dyed Large Canvas Tote by Authentic Pigment
Exercise Swag
Winter restricts many popular forms of exercise (running outside when the thermometer drops below freezing can get very unpleasant). With the onset of spring, fitness enthusiasts have opportunities to get out of the gym and into the open air, and they jump at the chance. Help them stay hydrated as the days get warmer with these reusable and customizable sports bottles:
- The 32 oz. Stainless Steel Bottle by Bison Coolers
- The 32 oz Super Sipper with Straw
- The Brio 20 oz. PS Water Bottle with Carabiner
Running on a warm spring day encourages perspiration. Stay comfortable as you work out in these moisture-wicking T-shirts:
- Nike’s Dri-FIT Cotton/Poly Tee
- Nike’s Ladies Dri-Fit Cotton/Poly Scoop Neck Tee
- SPORT-TEK’s Men's Dry Zone® Raglan Polo
- SPORT-TEK’s Ladies Dry Zone® Raglan Accent Polo
Coolers
Coolers make excellent spring swag. Present a well-made cooler to a potential partner or as a thank-you gift to a valued client. Raffle off a personalized cooler at a conference and your booth is sure to attract visitors. Hard-side coolers are well-suited for high-profile events, while smaller personalized coolers are thoughtful gifts for employees. Check out these coolers for your next promotional campaign:
- The Tundra 35 Hard Cooler by YETI
- The 25 Quart Ice Chest Cooler by Bison Coolers
- The Rolling Cooler by Port Authority
Picnic Bags
Picnicking has been all but impossible over the winter, but once the snow thaws and the trees start budding, people eat outside in rapidly increasing numbers. There’s just something appealing about a picnic, whether it’s a romantic meal for two or part of a family day at the park. Personalize these three picnic bags for a memorable gift:
- The Wine Picnic Backpack for Four
- The Picnic for Two Mini Tote
- The Haywood 4-Person Trolley Picnic Bag
Golf Accessories
Golfers have it tough over the winter and eagerly await the return of spring and a chance to hit the greens. Delight clients and partners who golf with these thoughtful, personalized gifts:
- The Giusti Shoe Bag
- The Posh Golf Kit
- The Odin Golf Kit
