Happy New Year to you all. We at Promo Hounds wish all the best for you and your business in 2019.
Though we haven't been to the new product show yet (that is mid-January), we thought it would be helpful to give you a peak of trends we are observing by recent orders and new products seen recently from suppliers. And we've put them on special for Q1!
Starting with drinkware items, these smaller vacuum-insulated tumblers, which work great for wine and with the single-serve coffee makers, are definitely growing in popularity.
While we still get a lot of requests for the vacuum-insulated tumblers in the 20 oz range, these vacuum-insulated bottles were trending up in requests as we got further into 2018.
Here's a "why didn't someone think of this earlier" item, the Koozie Expandable Cooler expands to hold cans or bottles!
As wine continues to grow in popularity so do wine tote bags and cooler bags.
Backpacks are coming with more accessories such as a charging port.
TSA Computer Backpack with USB Port
File this one under "I don't quite get it". Fanny packs are becoming more and more popular. Let me know if you figure out why.
Waterproof Gear Bags are big now and come in a variety of price ranges and colors.
Getting into the new technology items, wireless chargers, web cam covers for security and other charger varieties are gaining in popularity.
Magnetic Auto Vent Wireless Charger
Web cam covers grew in popularity in 2018 and now suppliers are featuring thinner ones so your laptop will close easily.
Here's a neat twist on wall chargers, it is a night light also. There have been others but not small and compact like these.
Later on, after we've attended the new product show, we will share with you other new items we've found!
