Colin Macdonald • May 8, 2024
Summer is Around the Corner - Show That You Care
Summer is a time for vacations, patios, concerts, bbq's, and soaking up the sunshine. It's also the perfect opportunity to show your employees some appreciation! While trying to create an optimal company culture, incorporating thoughtful promotional products into your employee appreciation strategy can help make an impact.
Why Summer Swag Matters
Employee appreciation is a large piece of the pie when fostering a positive work environment and boosting morale. Summer swag is a great way to help your company acknowledge the hard work that your teams put in throughout the year.
Increase Employee Loyalty
Quality branded solutions can help demonstrate that you value your employees, leading to increased satisfaction and a stronger sense of belonging.
Enhance Brand Awareness
Employees become walking billboards when they use your branded swag outside of work, promoting your company to their networks.
Boost Brand Advocacy
Happy employees are more likely to feel like they are a part of something and represent your company that way to others, positively impacting your brand.
Top Summer Swag Ideas
Hydration Heroes - Reusable water bottles are a summer staple. Opt for stylish (sleek is the new cool), leak-proof bottles with your logo, encouraging healthy habits while promoting your brand wherever they go.
Beat the Heat Essentials
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, and branded lip balm are lifesavers on hot days.
Tech Touches
- Portable phone chargers and power banks are always appreciated to keep devices charged during summer adventures.
Outdoor Fun
- Golf apparel, Coolers, beach towels, and frisbees are perfect for weekend getaways and picnics. Choose eco-friendly materials made from recycled products to showcase your company's commitment to sustainability.
Summer Style
- Custom t-shirts, rope or bucket hats (very hot right now), or tote bags are tried, tested and true options that employees can rep all summer long.
Work-Life Balance Promoters
- Wireless noise-cancelling headphones, home plant grow kits or stylish coffee mugs can help employees unwind after a long day.
