As we move into 2022, there are a lot of people looking to spend on promotional products for a variety of reasons.

Whatever your reason is, choosing the perfect promo products can be difficult. That’s why you need the help of experts. Luckily, J&R is happy to help. Here are a handful of trends in the promo product world that we predict will take 2022 by storm.

Employee Appreciation

Work culture has adapted around a global pandemic for the last two years. With more people working remote, employee appreciation gifts that assist working remote are on the rise. Think custom flash drives, mouse pads, or power banks. Any items that make it easier for your employees to connect or power up make for great appreciation items.

Go wireless. Everyone looks to reduce clutter and clean unnecessary wires. Support that by looking to give out wireless employee appreciation gifts. There are the basic gifts, like wireless chargers and speakers. But those of you that really want to think further outside the box may lean towards wireless headphone cases, a wireless bluetooth keyboard, or other assorted phone and laptop accessories. These are promo products that employees will want to keep and use.

Corporate Identity

Eco-friendly items continue to grow in popularity each year, but it’s not too late to join the green movement. There are tons of eco-friendly promo products that people actually want to keep. Anything from recycled plastic cups and mugs to reusable tote bags. Giving away eco-friendly items will also improve the public’s view of your brand.

Giveaway Items

Promotional giveaways can feel like a waste. Why spend money on pens and t-shirts if they’re going to get ruined or thrown away? Think more outside the box! Offer items that people want to keep. A great way to do this is to offer name brand items. They may be more expensive than non name brand items, but you’re paying a premium for your messaging to stick better.

General Advice

Always look at the “new” marked promo items first. J&R Print shows new items as featured, and they’re usually items that are hot right now. Get ahead of the trends by shopping newly released items.
