While next week marks the official start of summer, many of our clients are already capitalizing on the season with fun summer promotions. From high-end golf gifts and sports wear to tote bags and beach gear, summer is a great time to reach out to your customers in new and different ways.

Here are a few of some of the top promotional products for summer this year:

Personalized Golf Balls

Give your clients one of the best names in golf. These Titleist Pro V1 golf balls offer unlimited branding options to meet your budget. Choose to personalize just the golf balls, the sleeves inside or really wow your clients by creating custom packaging. Pair this with a summer-themed direct mail campaign and personalized notes to each recipient to deliver a high-value impact.

Custom Coolers

Whether you need gifts for employees or customers, custom coolers are a huge hit. We love this cooler which holds up to 18 cans and doubles as a seat making it the ideal accessory for tailgates, parties, and other outdoor events. Plus it is designed with an adjustable padded shoulder strap, and folds flat while not in use for convenient storage and portability.

Branded Water Bottles

A tried and true promotional product, water bottles are functional and never seem to go out of style. This double walled vacuum insulated stainless steel bottle helps keep beverages hot or cold for up to 10 hours! With it’s unique shape and opportunities for distinctive artwork this bottle is sure to stand out and also fits in well with employee wellness and green initiatives.

Sunscreen & Lip Balm Combo

Show customers you care and help prepare them for sun safety this summer. Plus you’ll get more bang for your buck with the two-in-one promotional product that features SPF 15 vanilla scented lip balm on one end and SPF 30 sunscreen on the other. This handy item is perfect for travel since it fits in pockets, on keychains, in bags and more.

BBQ Grill Kits

Perfect for summertime promotions and executive gifts, custom branded BBQ Grill Kits can easily tie into creative messaging for summer campaigns. This kit includes all the grill-master essentials and provides an opportunity to add an imprint of your company logo, name or custom design.

When searching for summer promos it is important to choose items that are appropriate for hot weather and will stand up during shipping and transit. Stay away from candy or other perishable items and opt for products that help customers get the most out of season. And with any promo item campaign be sure you factor in enough time to avoid costly rush fees or overnight shipping which can seriously impact your budget.
