5 ways company merch affects morale

1. Branded products create a positive onboarding experience
A new starter that has a successful onboarding experience is 58% more likely to still be at the same company 3 years later. By setting the right tone, with guidelines of what’s expected of your new starter, plus setting clear objectives, you’re more likely to retain that talent.

And good news - a creative and exciting onboarding pack doesn’t just increase the morale of your new starters. Research has shown that when they receive their new starter kit, they are 325% more likely to share images of it online. This amplifies those positive branding vibes further than just your internal team - wow!

With us, you can design it all from start to finish, enabling you to create the onboarding pack of your dreams.

2. Company merch encourages brand loyalty 
By sending a personal, thoughtful gift that makes a lasting and meaningful impression, your clients and employees alike will fall in love with your brand. Get ready to receive a lot of admirers. 

With 79% of people who are given promotional products admitting they’re more likely to do business with the brand than those who don’t, start your relationship off on the right foot with merch.

3. Giving gifts builds excellent relationships
Gift-giving is one of the best ways to strengthen relationships and encourage a positive outlook on your brand. 

The very act of giving provides us with a better way to communicate our feelings, with the key being the gift must be freely (and gladly) accepted.

You need to remember that sending a gift without any real thought isn't a gift. You need to be genuine. Real. Meaningful. And what better gift than something they’ll use and love for years to come? (we’re talking about merch, btw).

4. The right products create a positive brand awareness
Promotional products are twice as likely to motivate consumer action than standard advertising.
