1. Custom Bottled Water

Whether your event is inside or outside, providing hydration is always a good idea, but providing it in style ups the ante. Popping custom-labeled bottled waters into each guest’s bag is a great way to circulate your company name or tagline throughout the event.

Alexa Springs provides stellar label graphics in your logo to create a sleek, custom touch to your swag bag water bottles. We can create your order in standard 16.9oz standard or bullet bottles, 20oz bullet bottles, or 12oz standard bottles.

2. A Cooling Towel

It’s summer and no matter where you are, it’s hot! Your guests will appreciate the thoughtful (and, useful) providing of a cooling towel. These towels are intended to keep you cool without getting you (or your clothes) soaking wet.

Order cooling towels in your company’s brand colors or go one step further and get them designed with your custom logo or graphics. Because they are reusable, cooling towels are a top ‘green’ pick if you are trying to be environmentally conscious.

Your guests will surely be using these cooling towels for the rest of the summer and perhaps at sporting events or at their gym, which will increase your company’s chance of visibility and reach to potential customers.

3. Branded Wear

Custom t-shirts or ballcaps are another unique swag bag idea your guests will love. The impact of branding on your business is a vital part of longevity and success. Why not get your name in more hands by putting wearable items in swag bags?

T-shirts are one of the most popular items for branded wearable items, but baseball hats, windbreakers, and backpacks are alternative ideas.

4. Personal Fan

Did we mention it’s hot this summer? Guests will be singing your praise with a small, personal fan. Extra points if the fan has misting capabilities or a neck loop or clothes clip for easier wear!

By providing your guests with ways to stay comfortable during your event, their attention will be more focused and they will be more apt to stay for the entire duration.

Remember to stay on brand and pick one or two colors that represent your company.

5. Tote Bag

Last, but not least – your guests have to carry all that cool swag, right? A tote bag is another ‘green’ option that also provides functionality. A tote bag with your company logo and tagline or slogan is one of the best ways to ensure further exposure.

Today’s tote bag sees a lot of action from grocery shopping and farmer markets to library visits and gym lockers. Giving guests something they can carry throughout the event and use again is definitely a successful swag bag idea!
