Channel the Fidget Phenomenon in Your Promotional Strategy

Promotional fidget spinners are tiny, cheap to buy in bulk, easily customizable, and oh-so-tempting to use. Small wonder the fidget trend caused an explosion in branded fidget toys, from the “traditional” three-pronged fidget spinner to the latest fidget trend: bubble pop toys. 

When Were Fidget Spinners Popular?

Fidget spinners became popular in 2017 when the world collectively went spinner-crazy. Claims spinners help people focus and calmed people with anxiety, ADHD, and autism accounted for part of the fidget trend, although no definitive scientific evidence supports this claim as yet. More likely, the fidget trend began because they’re fun, and so many people like to have something to do with their hands when sitting in meetings, waiting in airport terminals, or just feeling fidgety. 

Fortunately for branded marketing, the fidget trend never really went away. Today, promotional fidget toys remain a popular marketing gift, either alone or incorporated into trade show swag bags or holiday gift boxes.

Promotional Fidget Spinners

Promotional fidget spinners come in a wide selection of colors and shapes, with plenty of room on the spinner’s center for branded logos. Two printing methods are used to customize fidget spinners: digital direct and pad printed. Digital direct usess a digital printer to print a logo image directly onto the spinner. Pad printing uses a silicone pad to transfer a two-dimensional image onto a three-dimensional object, such as a fidget spinner or golf ball. 

Triple Crown Products offers a variety of promotional fidget spinners. Three of our best are included here: 

•  The Star PromoSpinner® Fidget Toy has three stars-shaped arms and a one-minute rotation time.
•  The Safety Spin-It™ has a larger than normal imprint area on its center cap, making it suitable for more prominent logos or logos with complex detail work. A long two-minute spin keeps fidgety hands happy
•  The PromoSpinner® Fidget Toy Turbo-Boost™ makes a great executive desk toy. This smart-looking stress buster is made from ABS plastic and includes Turbo-Boost™ inserts for a longer spinning experience.

Specialized Fidget Spinners

Bubble Wrap Fidgets

Long before the fidget trend, the oddly calming act of popping bubble wrap was popular. Bubble wrap toys offer an alternative to promotional fidget spinners while appealing to the same demographic. Pop your way to brand recognition with these fidgety options: 

• Elemental’s 14 oz. Iconic Pop Fidget Bottle with Drinking Spout and Straw combines a triple-wall insulated bottle with a unique fidget pop handle. Keep your favorite beverage hot or cold while getting your sensory stimulation fix!
