Although we are still in the heat of the summer, it’s about time to start preparing for fall fashions and fads. Scroll through and read about some of Stran’s favorite promotional items for the upcoming season.
With the arrival of fall comes weekends full of games and sporting events. Whether heading to a child’s soccer match or spending the day tailgating and catching the big Sunday football game, people are going to need a portable, comfortable chair to watch and enjoy.
Camp chairs can come with attached coolers, cup holders, and compartments for storage. They’re comfortable, easy to bring along, easy to store, and perfect for promoting your brand. Fall equates to football in most people’s minds.
There is no easier way to contribute to the excitement of football season than with a simple foam football promotional product. Fuel the backyard and tailgating fun while generating some brand recognition. Balls come in an array of sizes and can be either hand sized and serve as a stress reliever or the size of an actual football for a game of pass. Best of all, this promo item is incredibly affordable.
To most kids’ dismay, and to most parents’ relief, fall also means back-to-school. Luckily, there are endless options for back-to-school and educational promotional product. One of the most useful and versatile school essentials, however, is a backpack. Backpack options are endless. They can have multi-compartments, laptop pockets, bottle holders, ear phone plug adapters and interior organizers. Backpacks can be styled as wheelie, satchel or classic. Plus, with our access, you can get popular name branded bags like Under Armour backpacks.
If fall means back-to-school, it also means a rush of seasonal flu. Travel sized hand sanitizer is convenient and the perfect way to keep you and your kids healthy and germ-free. Sanitizing products can be travel sized and clip-on, which make them perfect for students and adults to attach to backpacks, pencil cases or bags. Better yet, they can come in the form of gels, wipes or sprays. Some even come with a reusable sleeve to ensure ongoing brand exposure. Summer sun is lingering, but the cool fall air is starting to settle in.
The best way to stay comfortable in this brisk fall weather is with the cozy and fashionable vest. Vests come in numerous colors and materials, in addition to being offered in both women and men fits. Winds are picking up but the winter chill is not quite here. The fall weather underlines the importance of owning a quality windbreaker. This upcoming breezy, cool season makes people want something light and durable to withstand hours spent outside. Windbreakers can be Pack-N-Go pullover styled, half zipped, full zipped, buttoned, hooded or some combination of these varieties. They also offer generous space for brand messaging.
Iced coffee and iced drink requests will start transitioning to warming hot drinks to sip on whether on the way to work, on a weekend morning or outside at a sports game. Similarly, fall starts the season of soups and comfort food dishes. The best way to ensure these drinks and soups stay warm for as long as possible? Thermoses, insulated cups and mugs are all the perfect solution. In fact, logoed mugs in particular are more effective advertising than radio and television spots according to a PPAI study.
As it starts to smell and feel like fall, what better way to accent those scents with candles inside the home? Candles can come in decorated tins, jars or in glass containers. Waxes can also come in a variety of colors to help match your branding style. It may seem early to start thinking about 2017, but it will be here sooner than you think. Now is the time to order some 2017 customized calendars, which are perfect for holiday gifts and even better for fostering that brand to customer connection. Calendars afford effective brand exposure every time someone looks at the date, schedules an appointment or checks an upcoming event, which has been estimated to be more than twice a day for most workers in the office setting. More than that- this is 12 months of daily brand exposure!
The autumn air in combination with the desperate need to spend as much time outside before winter strikes means people are going to want blankets. Blankets offer not only comfort and warmth but also ample space for your branding message. Moreover, they come in every color imaginable, different sizes, portable roll-up options, with pillows or pockets; and believe it or not- some even come with built in speakers. There is truly no limit when it comes to the uses and options for a perfect fall blanket.
