What do I need to know about company swag?
Whether setting up a table at a tradeshow or sending out holiday gifts, choosing the right swag is essential. Here are a few things to consider when choosing company swag ideas that are right for you.
Quality
You want to make sure that you get something that will last—as well as look good—for the long haul. Investing more upfront can ensure that your team members and clients love what they get and use the items. That is, the less time your custom products spend in a closet or a drawer, the better your chance of getting your name out there.
Trends
You want to pay attention to trends and make sure that you’re in line with them. Showing you and your company are with the times enhances your brand like nothing else.
Company Culture
Choose something that fits with your company ethos. Whether you’re all in on tech or big into saving the planet, you can also use that to inform your choices.
Eco-friendly
Speaking of saving the planet, eco-friendly products are having a moment, and that moment is not going to pass anytime soon. People love getting gifts and giveaways that have a positive impact so include this with your messaging when you send out your products.
When it comes to branding, less is more
Strategic logo placement can make your products look even more high-end. Explore different decoration areas, like a badge on a sleeve instead of a big logo in the middle of the shirt. Additionally, this will increase the likelihood of people wearing or using the products, which is great for you… and for them.
So now it’s time to get ready for some company swag ideas that can spark new thoughts for sending custom company swag.
Company Swag Ideas
New hire and onboarding swag
The first of our company swag ideas has to do with onboarding new employees. Onboarding is important. Strong onboarding can set an employee up for success and have a long-term impact on their satisfaction and longevity. So put together a welcome package with custom products with your logo to help them feel like part of the team from day one.
A great onboarding kit includes a few essentials:
A nice custom notebook and pen
Set them up right with the two biggest essentials for a fresh start: a new notebook coupled with a pen. The Libretto Journal features a beautiful tweed cover, dot grid paper that works for all sorts of note-taking styles, and an elastic pen holder perfect to keep track of a pen like our Prodir Sustainable Swiss Pen. It’s biodegradable and sustainably made, plus it has lead-free ink and lots of colors to choose from. All in all, it is a great new hire gift.

A great custom water bottle

A cool custom backpack
It’s so nice to have a branded backpack to tote to-and-from the office and to offsites. If it’s an especially good one, they’ll even want to use it on the weekends. The Osprey Proxima Backpack is sleek and stylish with a laptop compartment and oh so many pockets.

A comfortable custom hoodie
There’s something special about organic cotton. It’s not only extra soft but also environmentally conscious. Each of these Known Supply fair-trade hoodies features a tag that tells the story of the person who created it. There’s even a place on their website where you can send a thank you note to that person!

Tradeshow and event swag
Products for trade shows and events, like branded tablecloths, banners, brochures, and giveaways such as stickers, tech accessories, and hand sanitizers, significantly boost business success at events. Overall, these items enhance booth appeal, increase brand visibility, and create lasting impressions. This strategic combination turns interest into connections, driving long-term business growth.
To make an eye-catching booth, you should have a few essentials:
Custom table covers
Show off your branding and add extra polish to that folding table. We particularly like the 8’ Table Throw for its versatility and extra thick material that is difficult to tear. Additionally, this cloth doesn’t require dry cleaning or ironing, meaning that you can throw it in a suitcase, and it will look as fresh as ever when you set it up.

Great giveaways
If you stock your table with especially cool custom products that people will want to take home with them and use, then your logo can travel far and wide. Not only will the person who uses the item think of you when they do, but others will also see your cool giveaways and want to know more about you!
We love wireless charging—it makes life so much easier. The Nimble Apollo Duo Wireless Dual Charging Pad will turbocharge one device or charge two at normal speed. It’s a handy desk accessory that many people will want to keep nearby all the time.

Stickers with your logo are another great way of making a lasting impression. They’re easy to add along with your higher-value giveaways and simple to hand out to those just passing by the booth.

By taking the time to pay close attention to your clients’ comments about their interests and hobbies, you can send a gift that shows you care about sending something they really want and will use.
