Since the promo world is consistently bringing us new and innovative merchandise, we want to help you get a feel for what we see as the best fresh and trending promotional products.
The good news is that your options for promotional goods & brandable merch are vast and seemingly endless. On the flip side, this can lead to a sense of overwhelm…and picking the right product becomes a time-consuming and confusing task.
We don’t want you to get stuck with a product that doesn’t highlight your brand and excite your employees or customers. And you don’t want to end up with a stash of customized goods that end up being no more than throw-away fads.
To help you on your search for valuable brandable merchandise, we created four categories of hot products to familiarize you with what’s popular in the world of promotional goods. And to help inspire you, we’ve offered up a couple of samples of fully customizable options for each category.
STREET STYLE & RETAIL BRAND RECOGNITION
People are instantly engaged by well known brands that offer outstanding quality. Here are just a couple of brands we love…
Roots – Gravenhurst Jacket
The Gravenhurst offers a breathable, waterproof membrane for protection from the elements, coupled with exquisite styling. Trendy horizontal channel quilting, faux leather drawstring grab on the attached hood and brushed plaid lining; no detail on the Gravenhurst has been overlooked.
Under Armour Expanse Quarter Zip
The hybrid fleece construction in this piece provides optimal breathability and warmth, without the weight. Under Armour signature moisture transport system wicks sweat to keep the wearer dry and light. Bonus…antimicrobial technology eliminates odours. UA logo on left chest and back neck.
MILLENNIAL MARKET
We need to keep in mind that the millennial market is starting to overtake the portion of the workforce previously held by Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. Consequently, marketers are paying more and more attention to what attracts millennials. And we’ve found this newest branch of the workforce values creativity, uniqueness and usefulness.
Check out these sample products that combine creativity and usefulness…
Creative Spark Colouring Journal
We love these fully customizable colouring journals that feature a mix of motivational quotes, lined, dotted, blank and colouring pages. Even better…you can customize or add to the pre-designed themes to include your own quotes, images and corporate logo…for no additional charge. Colouring, similar to meditation, has been found to decrease anxiety and create focus…which makes this colouring journal a great gift option.

With temperatures rising and spring in the air…this multi-purpose foldable cooler chair is a fantastic promo item choice.

Bluetooth technology provides quality audio streaming with cordless design. These speakers are perfect for travel, the office, or home.
Metal True Wireless Earbuds & Powerbank
Welcome to the future of Bluetooth earbuds! There’s no wires connecting these buds…making them truly wireless. *Bonus* the carrying case also doubles as a powerbank.

Place your branding on this awesome promo item and you’ll be recognized for offering up some quality, cutting edge technology.
WELLNESS INSPIRED GOODS

Below we’ve offered samples of a couple of health and wellness promo goods, but if you want to see more options be sure to check out our January 2018 Blog Post https://torquebranding.com/2018/01/2018-top-contenders-new-years-goal-inspired-promotional-products/

Life is hectic…some mornings are too fast-paced to manage a quick breakfast. Instead of grabbing a bag of fast food on your daily commute, this portable blender offers you the ability to make a smoothie virtually anywhere (as long as you have the ingredients…this handy hardware will blend them all up). The Grove Juice Blender offers a 25oz capacity to keep you hydrated and works effortlessly to pulverize fruits, vegetables, superfoods and protein shakes (within 30 seconds).
Pamper Me Bath Set
Health and wellness encompasses more than diet and exercise. Taking some time to unwind, de-stress and disconnect from our responsibilities can be beneficial to our health in a myriad of ways. This “Pamper Me Bath Set” is a fabulous option for gifting a wellness package to your favourite employees and customers. Set includes a 3” cylinder of essential oil infused bath salts, 4 oz. shampoo, 4 oz. conditioner, 4 oz. square jar of body butter, 2-pack of Tazo green tea and a window tin candle (all combined in a wooden gift box).
