While many categories in the promotional products business have taken hits this year, largely due to events being cancelled, apparel is still being purchased at rates equal to or higher than previous years.
If your company has not considered logo apparel recently, here's some reasons you may want to reconsider:
- Logo apparel helps create brand identity. Not only are your employees showing off your logo when they wear the apparel you provide them, but you can choose particular color schemes for your apparel that tie into your branding guidelines. This can be especially advantageous during these times of online meetings when the camera shows your employees wearing your branded apparel with your logo properly displayed.
- Logo apparel is low cost marketing. The more your employees are out and about, or as of late in and online in group meetings, you are getting exposure for your brand.
- Logo apparel creates a professional look for your staff. It can be a little touchy telling employees what they can and cannot wear during business hours, but if you establish branded apparel as the dress code for work, it is much more controllable.
- Logo apparel helps boost employee morale. Employees love getting shirts, jackets, caps, t-shirts, etc. with the company logo on it. They should wear it proudly! One key component here is to be sure and buy them quality apparel. That would not only help improve morale but also is a better reflection on your company.
- Logo apparel is a great holiday gift for your employees. And there is still time to order holiday gift apparel, have it decorated and sent to your employees wherever they are working.
During November of 2020 apparel was far and away our biggest category of promotional items. Here are some of the type items that are hot:
These 1/4 zip pullovers, made popular by brands like Under Armour (which we carry), Nike and others; are popular this year. You can wear them over just about any type of shirt. They cover up what's underneath (if that needs done) and present a professional look for your brand. When employees go back to the physical office they are also great for those who need an extra layer on even inside. They are as low as $18.24 and the minimum quantity is 13.
A good waterproof rain jacket would be welcomed by any employee. This particular one can be folded into it's own attached carrying bag. It is a nice weight also, providing warmth in the more temperate Tennessee temperatures. They are as low as $44.02 with a minimum quantity of 13.
Since Promo Hounds has a heavy concentration of construction related clients, we do a high volume of safety gear, like these safety t-shirts. There are now available some performance type materials in safety colors also. Inventory tends to go very quickly on the more popular styles and safety colors though.
Light weight but warm jackets are extremely popular now. They provide warmth in the coldest of temperatures but are not big, bulky and heavy. Many of them are easy to fold to a very small compact size also for ease of packing. AS low as $57.65 with a minimum quantity of 13.
We have so many more categories of apparel to show you if you are interested. Just contact kevin@promohounds.com.
