Most people enjoy receiving a free item, such as a promotional product. Business owners must choose these items carefully, though, since they're only effective if the recipients use and display them. The key is to choose useful products that will provide free advertising for your business and increase brand awareness. The more your customers or employees use the merchandise, the more people see your business name or logo. Here are a few of the top custom merchandise choices for 2022.

What Promotional Products Will Be a Hit This Year?

1. Work From Home & Return to the Office Products

The rise of COVID-19 has caused many changes in the workplace in the last two years. Many employees worked from home temporarily, and many are still fully or partly remote. This has created a need for webcam covers, flash drives, mousepads, calendars, notebooks, pencil holders, coffee mugs, and other home office equipment. For those just returning to the office, PPE like personalized masks, individual dish and utensil kits, and sanitizing equipment can help employees feel more comfortable in an in-person environment.

2. Wireless Electronics

More and more technology is going wireless, making offices much tidier with fewer cords. Wireless tech also makes it easier to work from anywhere and move around the building. Wireless keyboards and computer mice, chargers for cordless devices, and speakers are useful items the recipients will hang onto and use in public.

3. Eco-Friendly Items

America is becoming more environmentally conscious, so promotional products that will be thrown away quickly are out. Products that reduce waste are much more appreciated. This includes reusable water bottles that reduce the need for single-use plastics, all kinds of bags and totes, lunch boxes, and solar-powered gadgets.
