Product Spotlight

Summer has long been one of the most popular times to be outside, even for adults. In the promo world, this is the time for cookouts, parades, picnics, golf outings, and more!

Sunscreen Packet SPF 30 .25 fl oz

While our sun is certainly a net positive, much of what it sends our way can be deeply concerning. UV’s are serious business. These SPF 30 sunscreen packets are great for handing out to guests, keeping them safe and implying you care for their well being.

Folding Chair with Carrying Bag

A classic item that everyone needs. It has everything you’d expect: a supportive steel frame, mesh cupholders, and a convenient carrying bag. Comes in several colors, including camo, which is great for convincing people you’re floating in midair for half a second.

Roll-Up Picnic Blanket

These 52” x 47” picnic blankets are extremely easy to pack up and carry. No matter what you’re planning them for, these are excellent gifts for any families and outdoorsy folks. You have the choice of screen printing or embroidery for the logo, which are both quite nice on something with such longevity.

Super Ultimate 10.75” Flying Disc

Discs, or frisbees, are great promotional items for any outdoor event and excellent gifts for both kids and active adults. What’s more, it’s FDA-approved for food contact and for dogs, so you can give it to any pet or college student guilt-free. Available in several colors – we suggest one that’s easy to spot, for when it flies straight into the tree line.

2-Ball Tube with Tees

Is there a sport more closely associated with business than golf? If you’re planning benefits or fundraisers or company functions, consider making use of the game itself to show off your brand. These tubes come with 2 balls and 8 tees, which come in several colors. We can’t promise they’ll stick around for a long time (that depends on the golfers), but they’ll certainly make an impression!

Portable Pop-Up Cornhole Set

Perhaps golf isn’t exactly what you’re looking for. Perhaps your organization does more on public parks or lawns than in country clubs. For you, might we suggest cornhole, the greatest American casual sport? These portable cornholes sets are light and durable, just as easy to pack up as they are to plop down. Trust us, a sizable chunk of the population simply cannot resist a cornhole set.

If you’re reading this blog post, you probably know how to write. Maybe you even do it with some regularity. You’re a “writer,” one could say. And there comes a point in the lives of most writers when they chance upon an exceptionally good pen. One that glides across the page like ice. One that does exactly what they want it to do. After a revelation like that, they hold on to that pen until it’s bone dry. They may, for the first time in their life, take notice of the actual brand. They may ask “Where can I get more?” It’s a tale as old as time.

This is precisely what happened to Sam Hart, viral TikTok user and calligraphy aficionado. On April 30th, she uploaded a TikTok (@thesam_show) singing the praises of a particularly smooth promo pen she received from her new apartment building. Coincidentally, her workplace assigned her to a merchandise campaign for their brand, and she pitched her new favorite writing instrument. Naturally, they were a big hit. “I am the most popular person in the office because I am the one who procured these pens,” Sam proclaims proudly. “I’m a hero, in fact.”

The TikTok blew up over the next few days, now sitting at 1.5 million likes and 8500 comments . Like the hero she is, Sam later posted a follow-up with the product name – the BIC Intensity Clic Gel Pen, or ICLGEL – and ended it with a writing demonstration. 

The pen is exclusively supplied by Koozie Group and only available in bulk quantities as a promotional item. Luckily, that happens to be our specialty. Here you’ll find the pen in question, available in a wide range of colors with your brand’s logo printed on them. Of all the promo products out there, there aren’t many that inspire as much passion as a good pen, and the ICLGEL pen is among the best.

For over a century, the Stanley stainless-steel water bottle was a favorite among blue-collar laborers and outdoorsmen; they were insulated enough to stay cold after a day in the sun, while durable enough for lifelong use. But, if you’re reading this in 2024 or beyond, that probably isn’t the demographic or lifestyle you associate with the Stanley brand. In recent years Stanley cups have exploded in popularity, riding a wave of viral marketing, health-based social media trends, and a growing interest in sustainability. TikTok became plastered with personalized Stanley collections, particularly among health-conscious young women (counter to decades of masculine marketing). This widespread, consumerist fervor skyrocketed Stanley’s revenue from $70 million in 2019 to $750 million in 2023 (source: CNBC).

Likely as a result of their overnight success, Stanley products are notorious for their scarcity. Their most popular item four-years-running, the enormous 40 oz. Quencher, is chronically out of stock. New and limited edition colorations seem to disappear from stores as soon as they arrive, with many becoming pricey collector’s items in a booming resale market. Their popularity and utility make them excellent promotional items with a custom imprint or engraving. While owning a Quencher undoubtedly comes with a certain status, Stanley isn’t the only name in the game. If you’re shopping for a stainless-steel insulated water jug that somehow fits in your cupholder, you won’t need to look too hard for quality alternatives.

A fantastic option we’d like to showcase is the 40 oz. Pelican Porter. It shares all the functionality and practicality of the Quencher, while boasting more consistent availability and 18 different color options. Here at Snap, we’re such fans of the Pelican Porter that we’ve used it for both personal use and our own self-promo. At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with either option. If you think your business might benefit from quality tumblers with your logo for a promotional giveaway, not only do we agree, but we’re happy to help!

People ask us all the time, “What’s new?”

There are always new products available in the promotional products industry, but every couple years an item comes along and takes the promotional products industry by storm. This year will be the year of the Fidget Spinner. Every time we get a sample, one of our kids grabs it and proceeds to play with it for hours. Our manufacturers have been selling them as quickly as they can produce them. We’ve been hesitant to recommend them for projects because it’s been hit or miss if we could get them. They’re that hot.

The good news is that production seems to have caught up with demand. We have several suppliers with plenty of stock. So if you want the current hot item, just let us know. We’re happy to help!
