Product Spotlight: Custom Kitchen Tools!

If you want to stir up interest in your brand, consider adding custom promotional kitchen tools to your promo product mix. Flexible and affordable, custom items such as spatulas, bottle openers, and pizza cutters can put your brand or logo literally right into your customers’ hands.

Why Kitchen Items?

You might not have thought about kitchenware as a product for your brand before. Here’s why it works: It’s affordable and it gives customers and prospects something they’ll use often. It’s useful in either a B2B or B2C context.

With products ranging from simple plastic cutlery and chip clips up to Cuisinart and other branded equipment, there’s something for every promotional budget from trade show giveaways to executive gifts.

Let’s look at some examples of effective ways to use promo kitchen items to build brand awareness.

Trade Shows

Kitchen and bar items make outstanding giveaways for trade shows and conferences. There’s a wide range of affordable products that you can offer prospective customers, ranging from plastic spatulas and other handy items to Swedish dishcloths and higher end products ideal for raffles or curated gift bundles for qualified prospects.

Events For A Cause

Fundraising and awareness events such as Fun Runs, 5K runs and civic events such as street fairs are a great venue for branded giveaways. Your imprint on an appropriately colored coaster, bottle opener or tumbler tells participants you support the cause. They can take home a souvenir that shows they were at the event, carrying your brand with them into their homes.

Employee And Executive Gifts

When bundled as part of a curated gift set, well-chosen custom kitchen items can show a sense of thoughtful intention. We’ll consider some ideas for bundles a bit later.

What Kinds of Products Are Available?

Simple Beginnings

Let’s start with the simplest promo item possible – the drink stirrer, also known as the swizzle stick. These simple little wooden or plastic sticks are a natural for bars, restaurants and coffee shops. They’re the answer for customers who want an extra stir or two for their drinks.

Some folks collect them as souvenirs, a fun reminder of a special vacation, dinner or other event. Whether imprinted with the name of the liquor used, or the name of the establishment, they’re a popular reminder. From a business point of view, they’re also just about the least expensive promo items you can buy.

Custom coasters are another great example. For restaurants, bars, breweries and similar businesses, they’re a natural. They offer a decent-sized space for your logo or brand, and you can make them quite colorful. You can even order stone, slate or wooden coasters that will fit right in with executive gift sets.

Moving Up

Keeping with the drink theme, custom bottle openers offer lots of possibilities. You can order them in range of configurations, including as keychains or even custom challenge coins. They make great every day carry (EDC) items that slip easily into a pocket or purse. Challenge coin bottle openers add an extra level of personalization as well.

Combination pizza cutters/bottle openers are ideal promos for pizza restaurants. One convenient device to conveniently handle both food and drinks. Your logo and a phone number are enough to virtually guarantee repeat orders, especially on game days.

Good custom gifts for bakeries and even home cooks include dessert servers. Ice cream lovers will be grateful for a custom ice cream scoop with your brand imprinted on the handle. These are great for food service companies. Offer trade show attendees a sample of your best ice cream and a custom scoop with your contact information on it, and you’ll pique their interest.

Executive Gifts

At the executive level, you have plenty of options for thoughtful gifts. Wooden bento boxes offer an elegant touch. Cutting boards and cheese boards can be the heart of a first rate bundle. Complete with engraved or imprinted logo, they present as a well-considered, intentional item. Combine them with a curated selection of cheese and charcuterie meats for a memorable gift.

Custom tumblers are more popular than ever today. A well-made, stylish tumbler imprinted with your logo puts your brand in front of prospective new customers everywhere the recipient goes. In the gym, the classroom, the office or on the beach, your brand will be impossible to miss.

Coffee and tea drinkers will appreciate custom mugs. Paired with a selection of coffee or tea and cookies, chocolate or other quality food items, they become a valued daily accessory, one that keeps your brand or logo right on recipients’ desks or countertops.
