Delight Your Nonprofit Supporters with Branded Swag Bags

How can you show your nonprofit’s supporters that you care, and are thankful for their generosity and help? For many nonprofits, investing in free promotional or “swag” items is an ideal solution. While most Americans love free giveaways and fun branded promotional items, many of these well-intended items end up in the trash as soon as they enter consumers’ homes. Why? Many people are likely to question the value of free items or to view them as low-quality since they’ve done nothing to earn them. Avoid sacrificing your custom promotional items to the garbage gods by providing valuable items and sharing swag bag ideas for all occasions. 

The Top 5 Branded Promotional Items for 2021

With COVID-19 and the resulting pandemic starting to subside, nonprofits are returning to in-person events. Custom promotional items provide an ideal opportunity for you to thank supporters for their attendance at your event, no matter what you host! Items often included in swag bag ideas are:

1. Drinkware: The universal staple of all branded promotional items – tumblers, pint glasses, water bottles, and coffee mugs – are appreciated and useful in almost every setting. More importantly, they keep your organization name and logo front and center in every office, workspace, and board room where drinks are needed.
2. Apparel: No matter your age or style, everyone loves a free t-shirt. Hats, sunglasses, and homer hankies are also popular alternatives that every recipient will be thankful to receive. 
3. Tech Item: Everyone needs more flash drives, power bricks, and headphones. Since these items are used often, and easy to lose, that makes them valuable and appreciated even without being highly valuable or expensive.
4. A High-Value Item: Speaking of high-value items… sometimes you have to spend a little money to make more. High-value items are the kings of swag bag ideas: a full-sized umbrella, backpack, or ¼ zip sweatshirt are guaranteed to please and be used (and not to end up in the back of a drawer). 
5. Specialty items that represent your organization: Your organization has a targeted mission – your branded promotional items should be targeted, too. Think, branded water bowls from a humane society, or embroidered blankets from a housing and furnishing foundation. By gifting items that represent your organization’s heart, you’ll be top-of-mind every time your product is enjoyed.
