Timeless Trend or Flighty Fad? Stick to the Classics

Timeless Trend or Flighty Fad? Stick to the Classics

Classic promotional products are a more reliable way to build your brand than trendy fads.

Happy New Year!

That has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? The possibilities of a brand new year, filled with new ideas and new products.

Keep in mind though, that some of those great new ideas will turn out to be nothing more than passing fads, here briefly, then gone forever. That’s especially true of custom promotional products.

Case in point – Fidget spinners. Five years ago, you couldn’t miss them. They were just about everywhere, often with custom logos printed on them. Seen one lately?

Sure, there are always breakout products that have a lasting appeal. But when it comes to promoting your brand, it’s hard to beat classic products that appeal to a wide audience.

Custom Apparel — Classic for a Reason

One great example of that is custom apparel. Custom printed t-shirts, polos, hoodies and jackets have a timeless quality that has kept them relevant for decades.

Take the simple custom tee. They’re a terrific way to promote your band, school nonprofit or other organization. Available in a range of prices, with options such as short or long sleeves and single or multiple imprint locations, they’re a stylish addition to any wardrobe. And they promote your brand in public like a billboard.

With a subtle single print logo, custom polos offer a more elegant look. They’re suitable for the golf course, the Chamber of Commerce meeting or anywhere in between.

Hoodies are great if you’re looking for a casual vibe, such as for sports teams. With a broad range of custom colors available, they can represent just about any brand you want.

We offer jackets, hats and more, as well. Already have the apparel, but just want to add your logo? Go for our full line of custom patches! No matter how you market your logo, we have the solution.

If you’d like to find out more, give us a call. Our experienced staff will be happy to help you select the right product(s) to best represent your brand. And by the way, if you still want fidget spinners, we do still offer those as well….
