What is the BRIMAN Award?

The BRIMAN Award is given out by the BRIMAN group, which comprises 16 businesses across the British promotional merchandise industry.

"BRIMAN" is a portmanteau of "British" and "manufacturing", with all members of the group specialising in branded products that are made in Britain. Areas of merchandise expertise among the BRIMAN members includes everything from drinkware and trophies to seeds and edible gifts.

The BRIMAN Award was handed out at the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA)'s annual awards in January 2024, and the Total Merchandise team were blown away to be named the recipient of this prestigious title.

As Total Merchandise MD Jay said at the time: “We’re constantly striving to support British manufacturers of promotional products. Myself and the team are very proud to have won this fantastic award."

What Are The Benefits Of Considering British-Made Merch?

There are a variety of reasons to consider choosing British-made promotional products for your next marketing campaign, including:

Supporting the local economy: by choosing British-made promotional products, you can help contribute to the growth and sustainability of local businesses and communities. This can generate a sense of community engagement and also demonstrates corporate social responsibility (CSR), which can resonate well with your customers and add extra depth to your marketing efforts.
Reduced carbon footprint: opting for products manufactured locally reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and delivery, as goods don't need to be shipped from distant locations. This aligns with environmentally conscious practices, appealing to eco-minded consumers and potentially reducing overall environmental impact.
Enhanced brand perception: associating your brand with British-made products can convey an effortless sense of prestige and craftsmanship. Leveraging the reputation of British manufacturing excellence can elevate your brand perception, instilling confidence and trust among your customers.

And of course, another fantastic reason to consider them at the moment is that many of our British-made products are currently on offer. Browse some of our favourite discounted products below and explore our full range of exclusive BRIMAN savings - but be quick! All offers expire on 30 April 2024.
