From drinkware and tote bags to apparel and iPhone cases, using promotional products is a smart, creative, and inexpensive way to advertise your small to medium-sized business (SMB). To help you brainstorm a batch that will get your company noticed, the following are a few of the most popular promotional product trends so far in 2019.

Top Promotional Product Trends

1. Subtle Style

When it comes to promotional apparel, it’s no longer about making sure your brand logo as prominent and noticeable as possible. Instead, companies are finding it more effective to focus on creating subtle, stylish designs that elevate apparel items and give them a retail-feel. The end result is a line of promotional products that your target customer will wear.

2. Desktop & Tech Accessories

You can never go wrong with work-related promotional products, and tech-targeted items such as phone cases, Bluetooth headphones, and portable chargers are fantastic choices. But don’t forget about “old-fashioned” desktop accessories, which are particularly on-trend this year. People love to decorate their desks and cubes with free swag, after all, so think about items like mousepads, coasters, sticky notes, desk lamps, phone stands, and candy dispensers.

3. Combo Sets

Another popular promotional product trend for 2019 is to combine several items in one set. For example, you could customize a tech caddy or backpack outfitted with a removable Bluetooth speaker, a portable charger, and a water bottle in the side pocket. You could also take advantage of clever 2-in-1 devices such as power banks that double as LED flashlights or water bottles that feature Bluetooth speakers in the cap. The more creative and useful, the better!
