A Great Promotional Product for Autumn: Reflector Lights

At this time of year, there’s no escaping the encroaching winter. With days getting noticeably shorter from week to week it's the perfect time to have a really useful promotional product giveaway like reflector lights. 

Keeping Customer's Stay Safe This Winter With Branded Reflective Items

This weekend sees the clocks going back, meaning our journeys to and from home/school/university and the majority of our free time will mostly be in and around the darkest times of the day. The fast-changing light is one reason why it is so important that pedestrians and cyclists can be seen in the dark over these coming months. 

As well as the changing light and time, the weather is not going to improve over the coming months either - sorry! Rain and fog reduce a driver’s ability to see, especially in the dark. Also, a dirty windshield or headlights have an adverse effect on visibility too, making it more difficult to see pedestrians or cyclists crossing the street. For even the safest of drivers, the ability to react will be greatly improved if pedestrians wear reflector clothing.

It's not just us at Total Merchandise that sees the importance of being visible, especially when the nights are longer - big brands promote this through campaigns targeting the UK population. For example, Auto Trader have recently launched the #SwearToChange campaign that offers free reflective gear to cyclists, joggers, and dog-walkers. 

We have a lot of choices on our website for branded products that promote low light safety, let's have a look at a few.

Silicone Bike Lights

Perfect for your clients or staff that like to cycle, these promotional bike lights wrap around the handlebars and have three flash modes for maximum visibility.

Safety Reflective Vest

Using lights is a great way of making sure you're seen by drivers, but reflective clothing ensures you are noticed from long distances. Promote the importance of road safety with branded reflective vests.

Reflective Slap Wrap Wristbands

These reflective slap wrap wristbands are a budget-friendly and effective way of spreading your message.

With the winter approaching, giving away promotional merchandise that promotes road safety at this time of year is really mindful and could make all the difference to someone.
