Promotional Marketing Trends for Fall 2018
Have you noticed the leaves beginning to change colours?
Fall is in the air, and the season is once again filled with colours, smells, and experiences for us to enjoy over the next few months. This superb season has inspired many facets of our lives, including fashion, lifestyles, and pop culture too!
As the temperature starts to drop, you can use fall-inspired promotional items to warm the hearts of your clients.
Here are some cool trends to keep an eye out for:
Fashionable (and Functional) Clothing
Athleisure is really big right now, and several fashion-oriented brands are contributing to keep it on-trend.
If you’re not familiar with the term, athleisure is defined as "casual clothing designed to be worn both for exercising and for general use.”
These Odell Knit Zip Hoodies for men and women illustrate this hot trend perfectly because they’re not just stylish, they also provide comfort and mobility.
It’s exactly this union of fashion and function that makes athleisure so popular, especially with millennials who embrace a healthy lifestyle.
The Union of Wood and Technology
How long can you go without your phone?
For many people, it’s almost impossible to unplug and go a few hours without Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. Some of your clients probably feel the same way. The problem is that phone batteries don’t last forever, so we have the perfect promotional item for you!
This Bora Wooden Wireless Charging Pad is the perfect addiction to your client’s collection of gadgets this fall. It supports wireless charging and is compatible with a great variety of devices like the iPhone 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Note S8.
The best part: It’s made of real wood. In a world where we feel the need to stay connected 24/7, and we often choose screen time over real life experiences, this might be a friendly reminder that life is about more than just a screen-and there is nature out there.
Get Cozy While You Binge Watch
As fall sets in and winter approaches, you may feel unwilling to leave your home to hang out with friends.
No judgement here! The cold makes us want to stay in too.
On the other hand, fall is that time of the year when many popular TV shows are coming back, including How to Get Away with Murder (September 27th), The Walking Dead (October 7th), and House of Cards (November 2nd).
So, how can you spoil a TV-loving client?
This MiCasa TV Blanket can make a great promotional item for fall and winter gifting, keeping your clients cozy while they enjoy their time indoors.
It comes with a foot pocket and a front hand warmer, so you won’t even miss the sunny days of summer when you’re cozied up with it!
Textures That Remind You of Nature
When choosing promotional items for your marketing campaign, stick with seasonal colours such as shades of red, yellow, orange, and brown.
When it comes to textures, cork is a safe bet because it not only blends well with the mood of fall but it’s also an extremely versatile material.
Cork goes well with glass, metal, ceramics, and wood, making it the right texture choice if you want to impress your clients.
This Cotton and Cork Convention Tote is durable, beautiful, and functional.
With a bit of help from us, it can be so much more: it can be a key element of your marketing strategy, helping you increase brand recognition and create customer loyalty in a cost-effective way.
Keeping Warm!
If you want your customers to think of your brand, you’ve got to stay top-of-mind.
We don’t mean literally, but these toques would make amazing branded products for your clients. Why? Fall is when the temperatures start to drop, and we all know what Canadian winters feel like! Also, many people purchase winter clothes and accessories before winter in order to prepare and to get better deals. By giving your clients a branded toque, you’re offering them a timely, relevant, and useful gift.
Take a look at these Rib Knit Toques; imagine how nice it would be to have customers wearing your brand while keeping them warm and cozy.
