We don’t know about you, but it already feels like summer is flying by. However, there’s still a lot of summer left! Your employees are already enjoying the warmer weather and longer days, and have hopefully been using some of their paid time off to take vacations and unwind. While summer may feel like a hectic time, it also offers companies opportunities to connect with their teams. Take advantage of the vigor and happiness summer brings and use it as a way to boost your team morale!
From coordinating a virtual event to a fun outing to a larger company retreat, there are so many different ways you can bring everyone together. Whatever your plans are for your employees this summer, custom swag is a great way to take your events and outings to the next level. As you think about the products you’ll give your employees, consider items that they can use for the rest of the summer — and for summers to come — to make the most out of the warmer months.
If you aren’t sure where to start, here are some summer swag pack ideas you can use as inspiration when creating your own branded merchandise.
Summer Travel Pack
Do you have a company summer meetup scheduled this year? Do any of your employees travel for work over the summer? Does your team take most of their PTO and vacation in the summer?
There are a number of swag options that would benefit employees in all types of travel by making their summers more comfortable and convenient. A baseball cap with your company’s logo, for example, can help keep the sun out of their eyes while they’re laying on a beach or help them take a siesta on the plane. A simple tote bag is essential for carrying stuff around, but you can take it to the next level with a nice backpack, which is perfect for camping trips, backpacking trips, and carrying larger items. Also, a branded cell phone case can help protect employees’ smartphones while they’re out and about — bonus points if it’s water proof!
Summer Activities Pack
Do you want to give employees items that encourage them to get outside and enjoy their favorite activities? There are some great swag options you can create to encourage your team to unwind after hours.
A deck of cards is a versatile gift to pass the time and have fun with friends and family. Customize the cards with your company’s logo to make them unique, and employees can bring them along with them when they travel. This year has been the hottest in a long time so whatever activities your employees enjoy, a pair of sunglasses and a branded bucket hat would prove useful. We’d also suggest a branded blanket, which can be used for an outdoor picnic or to sit on at an outdoor concert.
After-Work Recharge Pack
Since summer can be such a busy time for a lot of companies, consider giving employees swag that can help them relax after a long day at work. A pair of sweatshorts or a nice cotton robe would be perfect to lounge, for example. A sleep mask can help employees get a better night’s rest and wake up with more energy. A branded wine glass or beer koozie would be great for employees who like to recharge with an adult beverage after a busy day.
At Prodigy Promos, we’ll help you curate branded merchandise that you can give to employees to boost morale and make their summer more special.
