Season in the Sun: 10 Refreshing Promotional Gift Ideas for Outdoor Events to Promote Your Business
404.275×404.275 (Original: 600×600) There are plenty of marketing tools which you can go for, in establishing better engagement with your customers. However, going for something long-lasting, practical, and versatile would be a better option. This will truly help make a dent in solidifying your business profile (in our humble opinion). Gifting drinkware is something so common that it is undoubtedly one of the first options that pops up in one’s mind — whether it’s a housewarming gift for a friend, an employee swag or a corporate gift to foster relationships. Never out of style, the options of promotional custom drinkware, from mugs to tumblers and flasks, are endless — serving as one of the most substantial tools to market and promote your brand through various platforms. Due to its easy customisation — in selecting the shapes and colours — the possibility to add that ‘personalised’ touch — via print or laser engraving — to ensure maximum brand exposure is boundless, too. Message in a bottle In recent years, with all the buzz and frenzy surrounding sustainability and eco-friendliness, companies are gradually exploring greener alternatives when it comes to gift ideas — to #breakfreefromplastic. That said, understanding and having the right knowledge about the source of the materials is one of the many key considerations towards the ‘plastic-free’ initiative, too. We place significant importance on the ‘end-to-end’ approach, which we strive to achieve at DTC World — from the materials we source to the manufacturing of the products. (You can always read more here, about our company’s fair bit towards the worthy cause of a greener planet. Alternatively, just give us a buzz — and we’ll fill you in, on the eco-friendly gift choices you can explore.) Now, consider how essential a drinking glass is in your kitchen. From your favourite cuppa to kickstart your Monday morning, to the chillax wine towards the end of a workday — one can never have enough mugs or cups. Our team has put together a series of elegant drinkware gift ideas that echoes both practicality and durability — perfect for any occasion — to stir up your next marketing campaign. Bottoms up, let’s go! 1. Welcome onboard! Welcoming a group of new hires? Why not give them a memorable and exclusive ‘welcome onboard’ gift to kickstart their journey in the organisation? Include a branded tumbler among other goodies in the welcoming gift — which they can carry along with them when they run errands, when they head to the gym, or during a short break at the office pantry. Sounds like a good moving advertising, no? You could always engrave a personalised message or include the company logo on the steel tumbler or coffee mug. Big Lazy Inflatable Lounger Lounge in comfort anywhere — hassle free! No pump required, just whisk it through the air to inflate. Perfect for festivals, picnics, travels, or any outdoor activity. Comes with 2 handy exterior pockets for drinkware, electronics, etc. Add your logo on the large print area, and it makes the perfect outdoor event companion or as a redemption gift. 2-in-1 Beach Buddy Mat Tote Roomy main compartment with a front slip pocket for keys, sunglasses, and more. Unzips and unfolds into a 23″ x 67″ beach mat. Effortlessly folds back into a tote with shoulder straps for easy-carry. Practical and convenient, a brilliant promotional or event gift your customers can’t wait to get their hands on! Do you know: Cork is a natural raw material which is 100% biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable. We have a wide selection of creative cork-inspired products on our website, which is not only fashionably astonishing; but also shares equal emphasis in versatility and practicality. Fun Facts and Benefits of Cork: Cork is biodegradable and recyclable. Not a single tree is cut down during cork harvesting. The thick bark of cork oak trees acts as a protective barrier against fire and heat. Harvested cork trees absorb 3 to 5 times more CO2 than non-harvested trees. Cork trees help to conserve oil by providing protection against wind erosion. Source: 1. “Cork screwed?

Let your branded steel tumbler or ceramic mug be the centrepiece of the gift bag.

Yet, maintaining the relationship is another piece of the puzzle.

The trouble with sending ‘thank you’ gifts is sometimes figuring out what to send. And you can’t go wrong with a unique drinkware that says ‘thank you’ to your clients.
