Top Five Promotional Products of 2011; Predictions for 2012

As the year draws to an end, it is time to take stock and review what happened in 2011. With thousands of orders to sift through, this year has certainly been a busy one for the promotional products industry. We helped our customers order everything from bouncy balls and yo-yo to crystal vases and the latest electronics. If you can stick a logo on it, we probably sold it! But there were five products that showed up time and again, promotional goods that are so hot that we can barely keep them in stock. Curious? Keep reading.

Wayfarer Sunglasses

Wayfarer Sunglasses: What’s old is suddenly cool again thanks to the entertainment industry, the hipster movement and a general nostalgia for things of the past. Our Neon-Brite Wayfarer Logo Sunglasses were a major hit in 2011. These fun quirky glasses kept appearing on our order sheets and it is easy to see why. They are easy to hand out, affordable and come in a wide variety of colors. They appealed to customers of all ages but especially those targeting younger age groups.

Double Wall Tumbler

Double Wall Tumbler: We saw these everywhere from Starbucks to offices around the country. A promotional product that can be used every day is the best type of marketing tool you can get. Our Double Wall Tumblers hold 16 oz. of your favorite cold beverages. They are so well-built that they keep your drinks cold for hours! We like how there are a variety of colored straws that peek through the clear double walls. We predict that these will be very popular again in 2012.

4 Color Pens

4-Color Pen: Year after year this pen is one of our top-sellers. While nurses and doctors rave about the pen, we find that it can be used in nearly any industry. It is perfect for teachers and students, accountants, editors and lawyers. While everyone can always use another pen, one that offers four colors is certain to stand out from the rest. This will definitely be one of our top-sellers in 2012. If you are searching for an economical promotional product that you can hand out at conventions, trade shows and seminars, this is the perfect item.

Adhesive Ad Cubes

Adhesive Paper Cubes: A staple in offices across America, sticky paper memo cubes are a promotional product that will be appreciated by your customers. You could even hand them out with the 4-Color Pen and you will have a winning combination for your next marketing campaign. We know that these items will definitely sell out in 2012 as well. With so many different styles and sizes, it is easy to choose a new paper cube year after year.

Microfiber Cleaning Cloth 

Micro-Fiber Screen Cleaners: In a nation that is dominated by cell phones, tablets and other portable electronic devices, customers of all demographics appreciate a quality screen cleaner. You can choose from a screen cleaning microfiber cloth that can be carried in a purse or briefcase, a keychain to clean on-the-go or hand out clothes in their own carrying cases. It is the type of product that most people will not buy for themselves but will greatly appreciate when you hand them out as free promotional items. With more and more portable electronics hitting the market in 2012, this is going to be one of the hottest promotional products that we offer.
