Must-Haves for Spring

Spring is right around the corner–but don’t worry, there’s still time to prep your seasonal promo! We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again–it’s important to update your promo collection with seasonal pieces to keep your brand visible all year long. Now, with warmer weather on the way, we recommend focusing on lighter apparel items and accessories that will offer protection from pesky April showers.

No matter what your promo goals are for the season, here are some of our top must-have items for any spring promo collection.

1) A Good T-shirt

When in doubt, a custom t-shirt is always a safe promo option, especially as the weather gets warmer and people are less likely to layer up in their branded sweaters, hoodies, and jackets. Promotional t-shirts have been around forever, and they’ve stood the test of time because they are incredibly effective. People love to receive t-shirts representing their favourite brands, artists, and even charities, and they generate impressions for your business every time they are worn!

For a basic tee, the Bella + Canvas Unisex Jersey T-shirt is a great pick with lots of colour and personalization options to choose from, so you can really make it your own. To add some extra functionality to your t-shirts, take a look at the performance tee, available in men’s and ladies’ styles. These moisture-wicking shirts offer UV protection, making them great for runners, hikers, or employees who spend a lot of time on their feet.

2) A Light Jacket

The frigid days of winter are soon to be replaced with the warmer, rainier, and completely unpredictable days of spring; and while it might be safe for us to stow away our winter coats, a light jacket will still be necessary for a few more weeks. These fleece jackets, available in men’s and women’s styles, are the perfect lightweight layer for spring activities, and they are sure to draw the eye with their bright stitching accents that add an attractive pop of colour!

3) A Baseball Cap

It’s time to say goodbye to our toques and beanies and welcome back our old friend, the baseball cap. We’re pretty sure baseball caps will never go out of style–they’re an absolute classic piece that can be found in almost anyone’s summer wardrobe. But this year, we’re particularly excited about the “dad hat”. These 6-paneled, unstructured baseball caps have really grown in popularity thanks to their laid-back feel. Customize our 6 Panel Semi-Structured Tactel Cap to create your own stylish dad hat just in time for spring!

4) A Plastic Travel Cup

Swap out your branded travel mug for a fun, customized tumbler! The giant, 24oz. Double Wall Acrylic Tumbler will keep your audience hydrated all day long, whether they’re sipping an iced coffee, a healthy smoothie, or just staying hydrated with good old water.

5) An Eye-Catching Umbrella

Last but certainly not least, consider adding a quality umbrella to your promo collection. Umbrellas are frequently used in the springtime when there’s no shortage of rain–and being such large outdoor accessories, they’re practically moving billboards for your brand! We love the 46” Arc Clear Umbrella because it’s just so unique. This transparent personal umbrella makes such a fun accessory that it’ll be sure to attract the attention of passers-by!
