TM Edit: The Most Exciting New Promotional Items For 2024

New year, new merch! The start of a whole new year is the perfect opportunity to give some careful consideration to the marketing and merchandise plans you've got coming up for the next 12 months - and whether you're looking at a calendar full of trade shows or want to find the perfect products to enhance an upcoming brand awareness drive, we've got you covered.

But of course, we can't launch into a post about 2024's most exciting new promotional products without first taking a moment to embrace the 'ins' and 'outs' trend that's been doing the rounds on social media. (And spoiler alert: there's no mention of wine or chocolate in these resolutions...)

DO explore eco alternatives... if you can. We've got a huge range of eco-friendly promotional products available and we're confident that even if we don't already stock a particular item, we can find it for you. 

DON'T limit your product options. If it's not broken, don't fix it - but if you've always ordered the same items, could 2024 be the year to consider looking at something different?

DO consider what your recipients actually want. We know you already do this - but we just wanted to flag the importance of remembering who your target demographic is when choosing your products. 

DON'T follow product trends if they're not meaningful for your business. Just because it's briefly trending on TikTok, doesn't mean it will match your marketing - we're #justsaying.

DO be mindful of quantities when you're ordering. This one goes two ways: ensure you order enough to avoid any last-minute panics, while also not ordering so many that you're left with unwanted left-overs. 

(See? We told you - no sugar or alcohol restrictions around here...)
