Top Custom Gift Ideas for Your Spring 2023 Event
The start of spring finds people excited to get outdoors, especially in areas with long, cold winters. Promotional marketers have long tapped into this excitement by scheduling springtime events for customers, employees, and the larger community. Sponsoring a springtime race or concert offers opportunities to increase brand awareness and build on your brand’s existing reputation, while employee events revitalize company energy and reward your hard-working team.
Branded items play a significant role in any promotional spring event and provide ROI long after the event ends. Customized folding chairs, stadium cups, frisbees, t-shirts, and promotional sunglasses continue to generate brand impressions throughout the spring and summer. Below are some excellent custom items for your 2023 spring events:
Customized Folding Chairs
Provide event guests with comfortable seating and rows of smartly branded folding chairs. Customized folding chairs can be used for multiple events or given away as memorable gifts. Popular folding chairs for events include:
- The Sycamore Portable Folding Chair, an aluminum-framed chair that sets up quickly and provides airflow through breathable mesh panels.
- The Coleman® Stadium Seat has a water-resistant back and bottom, with padded comfort for sports fans and concertgoers.
- The Folding Portable Event Chair has a frame capable of supporting 300 lbs and is made from durable 600D polyester with a PE coating pouch.

- Youth Neon Sunglasses
