Inside Our Promotional Products Showcase: Total Merchandise Expo 2025

Last week, we hosted Total Merchandise Expo 2025, the second edition of our annual customer exhibition. 

The UK's largest event of its kind, it offered our clients a truly unique opportunity to browse and test branded merchandise, from classic promo to the most exciting new solutions for boosting your brand.

Bringing together 40 exhibitors - all offering completely different types of products - and 100s of our customers under one roof, the Expo was a fantastic showcase of the huge range of products we can offer... And the possibilities they can create for your business!

From drinkware, stationery and textiles to seeds, chocolate and onboarding sets - and so much more - the huge range of products our customers could browse spanned everything from office must-haves to event essentials. 

We hosted the event at Colchester United Football Stadium, which has played host to everyone from Little Mix to Olly Murs in the past. But there was no singing at our event - rather, our attendees were greeted with a lanyard and a fantastic goodie bag packed with samples when they arrived, with the option to enjoy a complimentary bacon roll and cuppa to help them beat the winter chill. 

Total Merchandise Expo 2025

The feedback we've received so far from customers has been amazing, with direct quotes including...

  • "I have been to a lot of similar expos and this one is the best by far."
  • "I was astonished by how much there was."
  • "Best event I have ever been to!" 

Total Merchandise Expo 2025

Needless to say, we're delighted with the response the event has had and are already starting to think ahead to what 2026's edition might feature... Watch this space!
