Certain branded products, such as custom hats and mugs, feel almost ubiquitous in promotional marketing. They’re popular and effective ways to improve brand awareness, but so common you have to wonder if people sometimes use them automatically without noticing your logo. You can recapture your target audience’s attention by choosing traditional custom products that provide something new, be it an unusual color, a different material, or a helpful new feature. Here are a few interesting twists on traditional promotional products.
Eye-Catching Custom Hats
Custom headwear typically comes in two varieties: trucker caps and beanies. Both are popular choices that never seem to go out of fashion, but you have other options. Bucket hats are in demand but less common than other custom hats. Take advantage of this with the Sportsman Tie-Dyed Bucket Cap, a brilliantly colored hat that works well for vibrant, playful brands. Eco-conscious brands might prefer Sustainable Bucket Hats by Atlantis Headwear, custom hats made with recycled polyester.
The DRI-Duck Booney Cap is a stylish outdoor hat reminiscent of Australian bush hats and sure to be a hit among outdoor enthusiasts. The Booney is a great alternative to trucker hats, with a wide brim shielding the face and neck from the sun.
If you want to stick to traditional custom hats, the Max Outdoorsman Hat stands out from the crowd not because it’s different but because of its obvious high quality and workmanship. If you prefer a branded beanie, the POWERCAP 35/55 Compression Fleece LED Lighted Beanie by Panther Vision provides a bright light to improve the wearer’s vision.
Creative Custom Mugs and tumblers
Like custom hats, custom mugs serve a specific purpose that limits how far a mug can deviate from its fundamental design. This limitation does not mean you have to settle for the same old mug or tumbler, however. The following custom mugs all put a unique twist on traditional design:
Unique Custom Water Bottles
Water bottles are mainstay custom products that benefit from a little added flare. One of our personal favorites is the 16 oz. Collapsible Swiggy Bottle from Hit Promo, a smart-looking bottle that collapses into a convenient size for transport or storage.
Playful brands can keep people entertained with the 14 oz. Iconic Pop Fidget Bottle with Drinking Spout and Straw by Elemental that includes a row of tempting “bubble pop” buttons down its durable handle. If you prefer a bottle that serves a more practical function, the 13 oz.z Bottle by Bindle Bottle provides a discrete, waterproof storage compartment where you can stash ID, keys, cash, and even a small snack.
Looking for something more technical? The PÜL SmartCap with 24 oz. Bottle connects to a mobile app that tracks your hydration while providing real-time feedback and helpful reminders so you can meet your hydration goals.
Custom Electronic Products and Accessories
Water bottles are hardly the only custom products to benefit from modern technology. Many seemingly ordinary items now come with app connectivity or electronic accessories. The following custom products may look traditional, but they’re very much on the cutting edge:
