Nothing like passing on some good vibes.
Even if your ideal customer doesn’t take a lot of vacations, these items can be highly valued and useable. Take a look.
30 Examples of Travel Swag Awesomeness
- Bag tags. From luggage to backpacks, branded bag tags can help recipients identify their bags from those around them.
- Power banks. They’ll never run out of juice when they’re traveling. We all know phone batteries go fast when you’re out and about. Make sure your clients aren’t caught with dead phones when they need them most…like when they want to call you.
- Bags, bags, bags. We have these in all shapes and sizes from duffle bags to rollers, backpacks to laptop bags and tons more for any budget.
- Multi-charger bundle. If your clients are like most of us, they have multiple chargers required for all of their electronics. These multi-head charger bundles make it easy to carry charging cords for all of the devices in a slim style and with less clutter.
- Travel coffee mug. We have many designs and materials when it comes to travel coffee mugs. We also have some to plug into the car in order to keep beverages warm while they’re on the go.
- Makeup/ditty bag. Okay, so these are technically bags too and could’ve been listed in example #3 but these valuable little bags fit neatly into larger bags so they’re getting their own category. You can have them monogrammed or branded too.
- Carry on kit. They can’t bring that jumbo bulk size of shampoo they have at home. But you have them covered. With a travel container kit, you can give your customers small plastic containers inside a branded bag that helps them transport all of their favorite products with less mess.
- Passport holder. These branded items keep documents safe under “your” protection.
- Secure wallet. Every once in a while you hear about fishing scams using technology to pull numbers from a bank or credit card in a wallet. The thieves don’t even need the actual card. They do it electronically by being in close proximity to it. But we have special secure wallets that block the signals that allow thieves to steal valuable information. Think of them as armor for your customers’ wallets.
- Travel journal. These special journals include writing prompts for people who travel. They make a thoughtful gift for capturing memories.
- Water bottle. Travel water bottles are ideal for emptying right before going through security and then filling them up again on the other side. Make sure your clients stay hydrated as they travel. There are also many types that include filters that can make adjusting to local water a little better.
- Compass. For those outdoor types who lost their GPS signal, a compass is a handy tool to clip on a backpack or other spot to ensure you’re always heading in the right direction.
- Flashlight. Again, another handy tool. While many phones have them these days, a small purse size or something that can fit in a glove compartment works well when a phone’s not available or out of a charge.
- Multi-tool. This piece usually contains a lot of different heads that serve an amazing array of needs like a screwdriver, wine opener, knife, file, and many others depending on its size.
- Car kit. We can put together a branded car kit that contains things like jumper cables, a chamois, sun visor for the dash, and more.
- Foldable sunglasses. Traveling with the good sunglasses can be risky. They fall overboard, get scratched lost or stolen or otherwise ruined. But we have an array of branded sunglasses that are perfect for travel. We even have foldable ones that take up less space in a purse or pocket.
- Jewelry/accessory tote. When your clients travel with jewelry they want to ensure it doesn’t get broken, smashed, or tangled. A branded jewelry tote can keep things organized and in their original condition.
- Lip balm and sunscreen. These two things are always in demand. The one downside is that they are used and discarded but for the time they’re needed, they’re good branding reminders of your business.
- Camping mat. Don’t make your customers sleep on the cold ground. A branded camping tent or nap roll means they’ll be comfortable in their travels.
- Travel toothbrushes. Portable and handy, these toothbrushes ensure they’ll think of you at least twice a day maybe more if they have impeccable hygiene.
- Business card holder. Yes, we all still use business cards and a nice business card holder can go from desk to laptop bag quickly.
- Travel eye mask and ear plugs. Drown out the noise of public spaces with a branded set.
- Photo album. We know these are a little quaint but with some vacation photos, your clients will want them in a book they can flip through. If your customers are a little more paper averse and prefer a technology solution, we have USBs and backup drives.
- Headrest. Don’t let your customers wake up with stiff necks when they travel. Give them a travel pillow headrest that goes around their neck. If you think that’s too bulky, we have inflatable ones too.
- Sun hat. Keep the sun off of their face with a bucket hat, baseball cap, sun visor, or other ideas.
- Golf balls. Golf is the ultimate vacation game. Gift them a few extra balls.
- Clear branded bag. When flying with a carry-on, travelers need to pull out cosmetics and toiletries for TSA at the airport. Those items need to be packed in a clear, quart-sized bag. We have branded, reusable bags just for this purpose. We also have larger sized purses that are perfect for going to stadiums and other places that require bag searches.
- Mini speakers. Customers can take their tunes with them and listen to better quality speakers than what comes with their phones. We also have plenty of headphones and earbuds.
- Travel candle. Hotels and travel can be stressful. A nice soy candle can make your recipient a whole lot less anxious. If candles wouldn’t sooth your crowd, try branded flasks.
- Sunglass case. They have the sunglasses. Now, how about a nice branded case?
Even if your customers aren’t big travelers, the items mentioned in this article are all practical and can be used in daily life in addition to travel. Most of the options provided come in a range of colors, themes, and branding opportunities for all sorts of budgets.
