This isn’t a walk-a-thon!

T-shirts are probably the most common promotional product that people see. But they can also be the most disastrous. You know the ones I’m talking about - horrible graphics on misshapen itchy shirts. Uck. Branded tees, if done correctly, are one of the most effective pathways to create and sustain brand identity. It doesn’t matter if you are a law firm, video game manufacturer, strip club or university. But over and over again there is a major disconnect between the goal of recognition and the finished product. So I’m here to walk you through the process.

Step one, remember you are not promoting a walk-a-thon. Step two, even if you are promoting a walk-a-thon the shirts really don’t have to scream “walk-a-thon”. Step three, contact SWAG Necessities. Step four, seriously just contact SWAG Necessities and we’ll take it from there. That’s it! It’s like you’re Ronald Miller and we’re Cindy Mancini.

Good Fortune

A wise man once said: Variety is the spice of life. So today I'm applying that literally!

Check out these custom made fortune cookies! Not only can a personalized message be tucked inside, you can choose from a ton of different flavor profiles like blueberry or chocolate. Orange or Coconut. Lime or grape. And if you're feeling really adventurous, you can get a little bit of everything!  Trust me, these aren't your local Chinese-no msg added-mystery meat-buffet restaurant's dessert!

And if you are looking at this and thinking that it’s not hard core enough for your next promotion...here's another option where the volume has been turned up just a touch.

Hey, HOT CAR!

Unfortunately it comes with a remote. Boo!

Yup, this here are some cowbells.

Like most things I chalk this idea up to a simple, why not?!

Two-In-One

USB drive and bottle opener.  Pretty self explanatory.

Campaigns…the whole enchilada!

Not too long ago we were hired by an ad agency to put together a campaign for one of their big fish clients. The purpose of the campaign was to introduce an employee reward system that the client had developed. The agency almost immediately zoned in on the concept of “perks.” With the inspiration set, we took it from there and put together a cool package of products that revolved around perks. Coffee perks that is! The packages, which included some of the below goodies, were in turn delivered to HR departments around the country! It was a huge success and a very effective use of branded merchandise if I do say so myself. So just think, maybe we can perk up your next campaign! (Yep, pun intended.)

Happy 4th!

Wishing you a happy 4th of July!

Kinda Pervy

American Apparel cracks me up. I know the CEO is a perv…I’m reminded of it every time I look at their catalog.
But regardless, I get a good chuckle out of some of their "apparel" options.

For example, I always wear thigh-high striped socks when I’m lounging around the house drinking a beer.
Total staple in my wardrobe.



Remember the old school spandex leotard? This isn't it.
But seriously, doesn’t everyone wear a thong leotard when they do ballet? Duh.



And lastly, why would I use a towel with a picture of a naked man on it when I go to the pool? Ugh...I guess...why not?!




The point is, these and MANY more American Apparel options are available at SWAG whether you like it or not!
