Knowing where to start or look for ideas for promotional products can be tricky because there are so many out there.  Our promotional products website has thousands and thousands of options from a multitude of manufacturers. Today we’ll look at one that I trust and has many excellent, high-quality products - Koozie Group.  This manufacturer is working hard to stay on top of current trends and acquire products from big brands like Coleman, BIC, Orca. They also make the Koozie brand can coolers!

Customized shirts and jackets are a fun way to give your employees something practical to represent their company. Personally, I feel more professional wearing my Office Express gear and it gives me some zero thought outfits to wear to work, which is always good! Not every promotional item gets good use and I think apparel has as good a chance as any to be used and appreciated.

Does anyone clean their house or apartment during the pandemic? Or just regular old-fashioned spring cleaning? I have and it inspired me to write this blog about the kind of promotional items that had staying power as I cleaned my apartment. While cleaning it seems natural that cheap promotional products would get tossed but that was not always the case for me. Now, just because a plastic cup with a logo on it was tossed does not mean it didn’t serve its purpose, but I wanted to touch on a few items that had me leaving them in the keep pile.
