Gearing Up for Back to School

Whether you are a parent, teacher, or student, planning for back to school can be a real challenge especially under the unprecedented circumstances of a world pandemic. Although in-person learning is still up in the air in many places, back-to-school promotions create new opportunities to both advertise your business and help support students and classrooms. The next few months provide ample time to consider how to make the most of back-to-school initiatives. Take this time to send out branded gifts that assist in creating a safe and enjoyable learning environment for everyone involved. Promotional products are great tools to use which not only keep your brand in the spotlight but also can help students remain focused and achieve their academic goals!

PPE

As the focus throughout reopening is to keep everyone safe, Personal Protective Equipment will continue to be in high demand at least for the remainder of the year. In the event that in-person learning makes a comeback, you can assist staff and students in safely returning to the classroom by sending out personalized face coverings. Hand sanitizers and reusable thermometers are also great for making staff and students feel at ease whenever they return to the classroom. In the event that remote learning is reinstated, these products will remain useful for trips to the grocery store, or to use while exercising in public until distancing protocols are lifted.

School Essentials

Regardless of where the learning will take place, there are products that are equally useful in the classroom and at home. This includes items such as writing instruments, notebooks, calculators and sticky notes. Being prepared is key to having a successful year, so think about providing branded items that can help recipients work more efficiently. Other organizational tools such as calendars can help recipients stay on top of deadlines, while providing them the motivation necessary to tackle the next assignment! Multi-function items such as 2 in 1 highlighter pens will not only allow them to swiftly switch between writing and highlighting, but also create more opportunities for your logo to be seen.

Custom Bundles

Personalized bundles give you a chance to remain beside students throughout their entire academic journey. Combine one or more products from this list and put them inside a tote bag or backpack in order to receive brand exposure in outdoor settings. Totes and backpacks will remain visible on their commutes, while tech and computer accessories will remind them of your brand while they study at home. As many places are experimenting with rotating schedules, make sure your bundle includes options that maximize the efficacy of your message in both remote and in-person environments. Drinkware, USB hubs, and power banks are suitable as they will remain visible on recipient’s desks during meetings and video calls.

These are only some of the ways you can incorporate branded products into your back to school promotions. As safety remains a top priority your business can benefit from sending out branded gear which works to increase safety and awareness. This is also the perfect time to send out personalized office products in order to help recipients stay focused on their academic objectives. Bundles give you the opportunity to provide more specialized items while also increasing your brand’s exposure.
