Why Branded Travel Accessories Make the Perfect Winter Promotional Gift

The weather is turning and flip flop season is well and truly over, but that

doesn't mean your promotional merchandise marketing opportunities need to

come to an end, too. In fact, there is a wealth of suitable winter gifts out

there just waiting to be personalised with your business name and logo.

Why give winter gifts?

Winter is tough for businesses, but it can be challenging for your staff and

customers, too. It's cold and wet, there's not enough daylight, and

Christmas is a stress that many could do without. Giving your staff and

customers a free gift at this time of the year can be just what they need to

boost their spirits, bolster their loyalty and help them through the tough

winter months.

What are the best winter gifts?

At Source Promotional Products, we think that the best winter gifts are

branded travel accessories. Our favourites include:

1. Umbrellas

When it's raining, whether you're dashing between the office and the car or

waiting at the railway or bus station, an umbrella is essential to keep you

dry and comfortable. One of the best things about umbrellas is that they can

be personalised with your brand's preferred colours and even your logo and

business name. You could even include a witty weather-related comment to

raise a smile.

Choose from large, golf style umbrellas for maximum coverage or retractable

handle umbrellas, which easily fit into a handbag or rucksack to best suit

the needs of your intended recipients.

2. Backpacks and holdalls

When travelling on business in the winter months, your staff will be

grateful for a large backpack or holdall in which they can fit all of the

essentials that they will need for their trip. By keeping all of their

clothes, equipment and personal items together in one sturdy bag, they are

less likely to misplace anything or be forced to make several trips in

inclement weather conditions while carrying bulky luggage.

3. Laptop bags

Hybrid working becomes a very attractive proposition over the winter months,

particularly if public transport is impacted by adverse weather. Gifting

your staff a branded laptop bag is a great way of encouraging them to work

from a safe location while also meeting their wellbeing needs and fulfilling

your responsibilities as a conscientious employer.

4. Cooler bags

With Christmas comes the big Christmas shop. You can make life easier for

your customers and staff and enjoy a brand recognition boost too when you

gift personalised cooler bags. They'll come in handy for those big Christmas

shops, keeping items fresh and frozen produce cool, no matter how long the

delays in getting home.
