What Have UK Businesses Experienced in 2021?
Well, much like 2020, this year has been unpredictable, to say the least... Brits started the year in another lockdown, but it wasn't all doom and gloom as in July almost all COVID-restrictions were lifted. Now as we head into the festive period, the world is faced with another variant of the coronavirus.
Employees have had to make the transition to remote working, then back to the office, and from this week people have been advised to work from home again. We've had the furlough scheme to help keep employment rates up whilst financially helping organisations. Safe to say, businesses have been through a lot this year; and that's without mentioning Brexit!
With that in mind, businesses have had to learn how to adapt quickly and efficiently in such rapidly changing times. And promotional needs is no exception. While superhero merchandise (such as tote bags and pens) have been a popular choice, especially as events started to gain momentum, other products for advertising a brand have been important throughout the year. For example, social distancing and health and safety items - face masks and signage, for instance - were popular with UK organisations, especially when the retail and hospitality industries could open their doors to customers again.
So, let's dive into Total Merchandise's top 10 selling products of 2021.
10. Express Drawstring Bags
Last but by no means least is our Express Drawstring Bag. These branded bags have once again made our list of top 10 best-selling items and for good reason; available in a range of colours and with prices starting from as little as 71p per unit, we're not surprised they're so popular with UK businesses.
These promotional budget-friendly drawstring bags are a no-fuss way to spread awareness for your brand and are available with 48-hour dispatch!
9. A5 Budget Soft Touch Notebooks
A staple for almost everyone! Whether the recipient is a student, teacher, office worker, scientist, or anything in between, the A5 Budget Soft Touch Notebook is a must-have. Highly useful coupled with their budget-friendly prices (starting from just £1.47 per unit), it's no wonder they've made an appearance in our top 10.
With a rainbow of colour choices and multiple print options including spot colour, full colour, debossing and foil blocking, these bestsellers offer maximum brand awareness.
8. A5 Soft Touch PU Notebooks
With notebooks being in both ninth and eighth place, it's clear to see that these were a popular choice of merchandise with UK businesses in 2021. Similar to our A5 Budget Soft Touch Notebooks, our A5 Soft Touch PU Notebooks can be customised via a range of different branding techniques and with over 20 colour choices, there's a colour to suit any corporate scheme.
Each custom printed notebook features an elasticated closure, pen loop (which gives you the opportunity to add an accompanying branded pen, too) and bookmark.
7. Double Layer Reusable Face Masks
Previously the number one bestseller of 2020, our Double Layer Reusable Face Masks have still made our top 10 list for 2021. Our Double Layer Reusable Face Mask features two layers of fabric and two elasticated ear loops to accommodate various age groups and can be washed and reused time and time again meaning repeated exposure for your logo.
