Promotional Products For Autumn 2021

It's officially autumn, people. The season that welcomes pumpkin-spiced lattes, unpacking your favourite woolly jumpers and watching the leaves slowly turn from vibrant green to crisp auburn, orange and yellow. 🍂

And, in the wise words of Winnie the Pooh "It's the first day of autumn! A time of hot chocolatey mornings, and toasty marshmallow evenings, and, best of all, leaping into leaves!".

Facts About the Autumn Season

Autumn is much more interesting than you might believe. Did you know...

There are two dates for the start of autumn: Yes, you read that right, there are two dates when autumn could be said to begin. Defined by the Earth's orbit, autumn starts on the equinox, which falls on 22 or 23 September. However, the meteorological autumn always begins on 1 September.
The colours of the leaves are down to chemistry: The green colour of the leaves on trees is created by a chemical called Chlorophyll, as the levels of these chemicals decline, others increase which are responsible for the bright reds, oranges and yellows.
24th September 2303, save the date: The Gregorian calendar is not quite in perfect symmetry with the Earth's orbit, so the autumn equinox will very occasionally fall on September 24; which last happened in 1931 and will next happen in 2303.
Do you say autumn or fall? Did you know that the phrase 'fall' was commonly used in England in the 17th century, a shortening of 'fall of the leaf'.

What Promotional Products are Best for the Season?

1. Health and Safety Autumn Must-Haves

Autumn is synonymous with the nights drawing in earlier and the mornings staying dark for longer. With that in mind, why not arm your customers with promotional products that will ensure their safety at all times?

Whether you work in a primary school, manage a construction site or encourage your employees to walk or cycle to work, it's important that people in your establishment are armed with the correct health and safety equipment. Our range of hi-vis and reflective items, ensure that visibility is taken seriously as the nights draw in and the days get shorter. In fact, by 30th September 2021, sunrise won't be until 07:00 and the sun will set at just 18:40.

Perfect for attaching to your bike, bag, jacket or anything else, these UK-made reflectors are the ideal item for any road safety campaign. Suitable for all ages and demographics, they're a fantastic autumnal giveaway for almost any business.

2. Items to Suit Autumn Weather Conditions

Of course, Autumn is associated with shorter days and dropping temperatures, but what is the weather usually like? The months of September, October and November, see unsettled weather and the end of the season often experiences stormy conditions.

With that in mind, make sure your customers and colleagues are equipped for the varied autumnal weather with practical items, printed with your logo.
