Trick or Treat, Custom Merchandise

You may not be aware but custom merchandise can be created to suit any type of person? Maybe you did know, but also did you know, custom merchandise can be made to suit a certain upcoming event or holiday too?

For those of you who don’t know, custom merchandise tends to be much more desirable than non customised merchandise. The reasoning behind this is people like what’s new and ‘in trend’, for example you wouldn’t see Halloween items on the shelves near Valentine’s Day.

So if you keep your promotional merchandise in keeping with what the public desire at a certain time of year, then their more likely to pick up the promotional items you offer them. An example of the type of custom merchandise handed out at this time of year would be promotional chocolate and sweets. Promotional sweets and chocolates are good to have as promotional merchandise at this time of year as Halloween is coming up and Christmas is just around the corner (scary but true).

There is a variety of promotional sweets and chocolate available. For example the fun size treat tins would make a perfect gift at a promotional event before Halloween. The content can be consumed as quickly as they like but the best thing about the fun size treat tins, in the outer casing. You can personalise the lid in full colour (brand it with your logo), and then consumer can then keep the tins as‘keep sake’, to put other things in.

We all use old sweet tins or boxes to place odd bits and bobs in and these tins would make a great earring tin. Whilst on Halloween we have one night to eat as much sweets and chocolate as we like, there is also December to consider. December doesn’t just offer us one night to eat chocolate and sweets, but a whole month with advent colanders.

Promotional advent calendars are the perfect way to show off your company logo every day of the month. Filled with 24 delicious chocolates... who can resist. You can also use promotional calendars to count down to other important dates, such as a product launch date. I’m sure you will be able to find something to count down to, if it involves chocolate!

If you want to give someone a treat, use promotional chocolate as your trick to draw in the custom.

Total Merchandise has a vast range of custom merchandise, including promotional chocolates and sweets, which can be used within a promotional campaign, so give us a call today!
