				“We recently had our 63rd Annual Human Resources Management Conference in Birmingham, Ala. Attendees, speakers and vendors loved the phone stand. It was a major hit! It was a great marketing piece and a way to put the date on something that everyone uses often.” – Tomeika from HRM Conference

				“We are using our USB drive and power bank for student recruitment to the JAMP Program. The students are loving their new swag items to stay powered up and ready for class!” – Lauren from Joint Admission Medical Program

		Practical products for everyone Make sure your name is seen often by choosing a promotional product that almost everyone will find useful. From umbrellas to lip balm, choose one of these popular promotional items with mass appeal.

				“We wanted to give our board an item that would be useful and compact. We realized we are always looking for umbrellas. We found the folding umbrella to be the perfect fit! It fits great in a laptop bag, which makes it available for that unexpected rain storm.” – Jerry from TIU

				“We ordered these to-do notepads for an event we were speaking at. The attendees loved them and we were very happy to provide something of value to prospective clients.” – Forrest from Haven Homes + Lifestyle

				“We love handing out our branded lip balm to customers when they purchase products. It’s an incredible product for constantly reminding our customers about our brand and business, especially through the winter when lips are so chapped.” – Nicholas from Quintessa

		Fill-up promotional drinkware At home, the office or on the go, promotional drinkware makes a useful giveaway for customers and employees. Top off these promotional products to show off your brand.

				“We ordered and used this tumbler when featuring a hot chocolate bar at a couple events this winter. We are currently using the extras at our coffee bar in the office. Clients and friends love being able to take their warm beverage with them in these perfect-sized tumblers. Thanks, 4imprint!” – Chad from Davis Wealth Services

				“For the 33rd annual Wearin’ of the Green, St. Patrick’s Day Parade we created a mood cup that changed from white to green when a cool drink was poured in. In the South (Baton Rouge) we “throw” things to the crowd and these were thrown in 2018.” – Mabyn from Baton Rouge

				“For the second year in a row, these pub glasses have been a hit at our Annual Holiday Luncheon. Our luncheon branding really shines with the large imprint area, and our associates have commented on how they love watching their pub-glass collection grow each year!” – Monique from Ticket Network

		Pack promotional bags Get your logo seen around town with one of these favorite promotional products. Branded bags are always appreciated. Plus, they’re a great way to leave impressions on a new audience.

				“We used this tote (and another 4imprint product!) at our Youth Summit event, where we had more than 100 students, keynote speakers and nonprofits. The students attended two hour-long workshops based on their grade. We handed out the bags and notebooks at check-in to ensure each student had something to carry around materials and take notes.” – Chelsea from Youth Summit

				“This bag is great, it’s a true teal and the kids at the conference really enjoyed having it for all of their information. The pocket was a great plus to hold pens, keys and personal belongings! This particular bag was left over and makes a great carry bag for our council tablecloth.” – Ceri from Action Changes Things

				“We use these swag bags at our Generasian Women’s Conference at UCR! Great product. Everyone loves the color theme." – Tia from Riverside

“Our employees were so excited to learn we would be giving out these Roll Up Fleece Blankets for our quarterly safety award. Many departments are very cold in our factory, and they all cheered at our last monthly meeting when we announced these cozy fleece blankets would be our giveaway. Let's just hope they don't get so comfy they all fall asleep on the job! Thanks again for another great product, fabulous customer service and quick processing/shipping!” – Amanda from Interstate Optical

		“In my job as a unit manager at the Clubhouse of Lehigh County, I use your products to promote mental health awareness. Our mission is to offer persons with a mental illness a safe and healing environment where each person is given the opportunity to explore their personal and vocational goals. Whether I’m doing community outreach or attending a marketing appointment, I keep products on hand to help promote our cause. Our purchases include: water bottles, pens and adhesive notes, and we love each and every product!” – Jolene from Clubhouse of Lehigh County

“Northumberland Association of Progressive Stewardship (NAPS) is an environmental community group, and one of our initiatives this year is to help citizens reduce or end the use of single-use grocery bags. Those bags use a lot of fossil fuels and water to produce, are used an average of 12 minutes, photo-degrade into smaller bits that are ingested by birds and land and sea creatures and exacerbate flooding by clogging storm drains, ditches, and creeks...and they are very ugly! NAPS also conducts creek cleanups in our area and remove a lot of these nasty bags. We are giving away reusable grocery bags at all of our events this year to help citizens get started. I find that these types of reusable bags can hold two to three times as much and last for years. I'm looking forward to seeing neighbors in the checkout aisle with our NAPS grocery bags with our slogan "Help save the Bay – Join NAPS today!" – Mike from NAPS

“We hosted our first annual Shamrockin' Fun Run Fundraiser at our elementary school in March. We had a St Patrick's Day Race Theme and students received incentives for raising money for our school. Each student received a free race day t-shirt for registering and all students participated in the Fun Run event which was held during school hours. Our school raised over $42,000!”
– Jennifer from Mayfield

“While we have plenty of useful and nifty swag handouts, we didn't have anything humorous or fun! That's when we knew the Pig Stress Reliever was the perfect option. He's cute, charming, and makes for a great reliever of stress! Adults and children love them! I am pictured (overly excited) showing off my piggy, which I have affectionately named Chris P. Bacon. ” – Rachel from TBA Credit Union
