Best Spring 2020 Promotional Merchandise For UK Businesses

Rumour has it that spring is just around the corner... In fact, the very first day of spring 2020 is Friday 20th March - less than a fortnight away! With the season associated with rebirth, renewal and regrowth, there really is no better time to give your campaigns a spring clean with some brand new promotional merchandise.

Blooming Great Spring-Related Branded Items For Your 2020 Campaigns

Before we jump into the best spring-worthy promotional products, let's take a look at what the season is actually all about. This year, the vernal equinox (otherwise known as the first day of spring) falls on Friday 20th March 2020; however, spring can start at different times depending on who you ask. When looking at the astronomical calendar, the first day of spring is 20th March 2020, although meteorologists state that spring actually begins on March 1st, running until 31st May.

Now the scientific bit is out the way, it's time to read on and discover TM's top picks of branded items to help your spring campaigns truly blossom - and to learn some interesting facts about the season that you probably didn't know before!

1. Get Ready For Those Famous April Showers

Some may argue that April showers are an old wives’ tale, with the saying “March winds and April showers bring forth May flowers” suggesting they're more of a rhyme-friendly convenience than steeped in actual reality. However! There the tune definitely has a basis in scientific fact, simply referring to the fact April typically sees more rain than any other month.

Did you know that the wettest spring on record was in 1947? That particular season saw an extraordinary 331.7mm of rain fall!

With that in mind, it would be a good idea to keep your customers and colleagues prepared for the expected showers, no? And what better way than with some rain-proof merch...

2. Forget White Christmas - It's More Likely To Be A White Easter

Although us Brits are always dreaming of a white Christmas, it is, in fact, more likely for the UK to experience snow around Easter time. Looking at the stats, December has an average snow or sleet fall of 3.9 days, whilst March has an impressive 4.2 days. However, due to Easter falling on April 12th this year, we have a smaller chance of snow - April typically has an average snow and sleet fall of just 2.3 days.
