Seasonal/Marketing Ideas
Both Father’s Day and the end of the school year are just around the corner, so now is the perfect time to be thinking about marketing gift items!
For School Leavers, our Hoodie shape is perfect as a keyring or bag tag to commemorate the occasion. Bookmarks, Apple Shapes and Plant Markers are classic gift choices and work for both students and teachers! Alternatively, we have a great selection of tins to choose from – simply fill them up with goodies and print up the topper to create a special personalised gift.
For Dads (or Grandads, Uncles, Godfathers, etc!), we have loads of products to choose from in our Father’s Day section – whether he’s into DIY, music, sports, cars, gaming, gardening, or fitness! We especially love our Handsaw, Spanner, and Hammer shapes as shed or workshop signs, plus the Bar Blades and Bar Signs are a must have for any home bar…
Our Father’s Day Bumper Collection contains a great selection of our products that are ideal for Father’s Day gifts! And keep an eye out, because we will be updating this pack very soon to include even more of our brilliant products for you to sample.
One Item, Three Ways!
Our Hoodie shape is available in 8 sizes, from A3 right down to Tiny! We’re looking at three ways you can use this cool shape…
School Leavers
The Hoodie shape makes brilliant keepsakes for those leaving school. They can be personalised with a student’s name and the year to create a fun fridge magnet, keyring, or bag tag! The larger sizes can be used as a board for all the students to sign after being printed up with a full class photo – this would make a lovely teacher gift for the end of the school year…
Sports Teams
Using the Hoodie shape for local sports teams is a brilliant idea as they can be for both players and supporters! Personalised Bag Tags are an especially great idea for players to attach to their kit bags, while supporters might enjoy keyrings, fridge magnets, and hanging decorations printed up with the team’s colours.
Businesses
Businesses might like the Hoodie shape to give as a token to their employees with their names and job titles printed on, or even to use as promotional products when printed up with the logo and information about the company – an interesting alternative to standard business cards! They would even work as long service awards…
