Practical Promo Products for Tailgates


I previously wrote about fun promo products for tailgating like the classic cornhole game, but as the weather has begun to cool off here in Atlanta I have begun to think about some other promo products that I would not leave home without when going to a tailgate. These items include, but are not limited to, sweatshirts, blankets, scarves and hand warmers. Not only will theses items keep you warm, they will also let you display your allegiance to your favorite team. You will be glad your mind will be free to focus on the game instead of your shivering self!

Fun Promo Products for Tailgates


There’s food and there’s drinks, but it can’t be a tailgate without some games and there are tons of promo products on the market that can help your recipients have some fun of their own pre-kickoff. Cornhole is a classic tailgating game where players take turns tossing beanbags into raised platforms with holes (that can be imprinted with your company’s name). Velcro Catch is another great game where a ball is tossed back and forth between Velcro-covered mitts. These games make great promo products because they will surely be used over and over again everywhere from the tailgate, to the beach, to the company picnic.

Though the first decorative Band-Aids weren’t produced until 1951, since then bandages have been used as promo products for everyone Barbie and Spongebob Squarepants to Louis Vuitton.

Promo Products for Teddy Bear Day!


Promo products like custom stuffed animals are the perfect giveaways for Teddy Bear Day, which is celebrated each year on September 9! The “Teddy” bear is named for President Theodore Roosevelt, who, as the story is told, while hunting in Mississippi in the year 1902 refused to shoot a young bear. A man named Morris Michtom is credited with coming up with the idea for a “teddy” bear after seeing a cartoon printed in The Washington Post about the incident. Teddy bears and other custom stuffed animals would make great promo products for any consumers, though they are often associated as toys for young children.
