## What makes the perfect summer promotional product?

Summer is a busy time for everyone, be it brands looking to build a more seasonal customer base, or parents trying to synchronise their kids’ social schedules - and sometimes, you just need things to be easy, stress-free, and solve all your problems.

Easy, peasy.

That’s why, when it comes to promotional summer products, they need to be:

### 1. Practical

Making your life that little bit easier.

### 2. Multi-purpose

If the product solves more than one problem, it’s a keeper.

### 3. Lightweight

No one’s got the energy to be lugging around something heavy in the heat.

### 4. Cost-effective

Premium cost isn’t a priority in summer, especially if the product is useful.

### 5. Fun

‘Sun’ and ‘fun’ go hand-in-suncream-lathered-hand - so merch that encourages play is always a summer winner.

## When should you order summer promotional products?

Spring is the perfect time of year to order your summer promotional products. This is because the branded items can be ordered, printed, packed and shipped prior to the summer season starting.

**You should aim to order your summer products between April and June**, so that they can land on desks or doorsteps before the summer holiday peak season. This typically runs from mid-June to the middle of September in the Northern Hemisphere.

## How to measure the effectiveness of your summer promotional product campaign

The effectiveness of a promotional product campaign is usually judged by **the number of impressions** the campaign receives.

This can be measured via:

- Sales growth
- Brand awareness
- Customer loyalty

### What are impressions?

The [ROI of productional products is measured through impressions](https://insights.fluidbranding.com/blog/maximise-your-marketing-budget-with-this-foolproof-roi-strategy) (aka the number of people who have seen your products) because traditional ROI metrics don’t work for merch.

Usually, you’d use the formula:

ROI = (Revenue made - Amount spent) / Amount spent

However, as promotional merchandise is a physical product that is usually gifted and made to last, **there’s no traditional feedback loop like the above.**

### Why are impressions important?

Impressions are important when it comes to measuring the impact of your promotional merchandise campaign because they show your merch is succeeding in:

#### 1. Building relationships

Studies have shown that an impressive [82%](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-can-i-measure-roi-promotional-products-adrian-davidson/) of people perceive a brand more positively after receiving promotional merchandise.

#### 2. Building brand awareness and recognition

Having your brand in the direct line of sight of a prospective customer is said to increase brand awareness and purchase intent by [38.7%](https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2023/in-emerging-media-brand-recall-is-the-biggest-driver-of-lift/).

#### 3. Generating leads

If our maths is correct, the more impressions you make, the more leads you’ll generate. Because the impressions made through merchandise are so high, an impressive [73%](https://www.ppai.org/media/7801/ppw_anyeconfpg-final-1.pdf) of people are more likely to work with a brand that gave them a promotional product. And that’s a big thanks to something called [reciprocity](https://insights.fluidbranding.com/blog/heres-how-giving-gifts-could-save-your-brand).

- **Customisable:** Meaning you can create your branded hat of dreams easily.
- **Worn A LOT:** Hats and caps are front-and-centre when worn - meaning your branding is there for everyone to see clearly (aka more impressions!).

Caps are sooo 90’s, and with [36%](https://www.wgsn.com/fashion/p/article/691e03689637fa2e83d211aa?lang=en&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pspct&_gl=1*b40014*_gcl_au*MTAwNjM5ODg4My4xNzY1NTQ0NDQ5*_ga*MzY4MjE0NjcxLjE3NjU1NDQ2MTg.*_ga_3N1Q1PKH1F*czE3NjU1NTkwNDgkbzEkZzAkdDE3NjU1NTkwNDgkajYwJGwwJGgw) of global Gen Z listening to music from that era this summer ( plus the [revival of raves and lo-fi music](https://www.wgsn.com/fashion/p/article/691e03689637fa2e83d211aa?lang=en&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pspct&_gl=1*b40014*_gcl_au*MTAwNjM5ODg4My4xNzY1NTQ0NDQ5*_ga*MzY4MjE0NjcxLjE3NjU1NDQ2MTg.*_ga_3N1Q1PKH1F*czE3NjU1NTkwNDgkbzEkZzAkdDE3NjU1NTkwNDgkajYwJGwwJGgw)), there’s a nostalgic appreciation for all things headwear.

Bucket hats were last year’s favourite ([check out our deep dive into Aperol’s free bucket hat giveaway](https://insights.fluidbranding.com/blog/how-aperols-viral-bucket-hat-became-a-summer-success)) - and this year, we’re predicting ‘the cap’ is going to have a retro revival.

### 3. Frisbee

#### Why a frisbee?

Frisbees are such a 90s throwback, too, which ticks that ever-popular nostalgia box - however, we also love frisbees because:

- They’re **cost-effective**, so they won’t break the bank (especially when using up the last of your budget), and they have a great branding area (excellent ROI).
- They’re**lightweight** and hardly take up any room, making them a super practical entertainment option for holidays abroad or festivals.
- Loved by all - including dogs and kids, making it the **perfect game for summer days.**

## How to use leftover marketing budget effectively

Promotional merchandise is one of the easiest ways to convert leftover budget into long-term brand visibility - here are a few ways to make the most of your leftover budget with promotional products:

### 1. Choose high-impression products

Items like caps, water bottles, and outdoor games are used repeatedly, helping your brand reach far beyond the original recipient.

### 2. Prioritise practical items

The most successful promotional products solve everyday problems - whether that’s staying hydrated, enjoying a picnic, or keeping the sun out of your eyes.

### 3. Order ahead for seasonal campaigns

Purchasing summer merchandise early ensures you’re ready for events, festivals, and outdoor activations.

### 4. Bundle products into giveaway kits

Combining smaller items into themed packs (like festival kits or summer survival kits) can increase perceived value.

### 5. Think beyond the event

Select items that will still be used weeks or months later, extending the lifespan of your campaign.

When chosen carefully, promotional merchandise transforms leftover budget into ongoing visibility, brand recall, and thousands of impressions long after summer ends!
