TM Edit: 10 Of The Best Promotional Mugs

It's a truth universally acknowledged that - and we're not sure if we're quoting Jane Austen word-for-word here - you can't go wrong with a good mug. 

Total Merchandise has a huge range of branded mugs, with designs ranging from our classic Cambridge all the way through to our eco-friendly Bamboo Coffee Cup (which is perfect for coffee on-the-go, FYI). 

Why Do Branded Mugs Make Great Promotional Giveaways?

According to research shared by the BPMA, promotional mugs are giveaway items with sticking power: with 89% of desks across the UK featuring at least one promotional item, 20% of the items are mugs.

And it's no surprise! As a nation, Brits love hot drinks, and a classic porcelain mug is a perfect way to enjoy your favourite warm beverage. According to the UK Tea & Infusions Association, we drink upwards of 100 million cups of tea daily; this infographic also suggests we imbibe 65 million cups of coffee each day, too. Impressive figures, no?

With all that in mind, it's little surprise that promotional mugs are one of the most popular items for a business to invest in. Without further ado, we've rounded up 10 of our most popular branded mugs and printed travel mugs - perfect for spreading awareness for your business and for keeping your customers caffeinated at the same time. We'll drink to that...

#1 Cambridge Promotional Mugs

Available in white by default (or in nine additional colours - price on application), our printed Cambridge mugs are one of our customers' absolute favourites when it comes to traditional branded mugs.

Ideal for effortlessly promoting your corporate message, these chunky mugs are perfectly sized for enjoying a cuppa, whether at home or in the office. Your logo can be printed in up to four colours; for a slightly different take on this classic style, you might want to consider our duo-coloured Durham mugs

#2 Thermo Travel Mugs

Available in your choice of 14 colours, our Thermo Travel Mugs are something of a godsend when it comes to the early morning commute. Sure, your business can't control the weather or the traffic - but why not make things slightly more tolerable by giving your customers the option to have their favourite hot drink to-hand? 

Designed to keep beverages at optimal temperatures, they can keep tea and coffee hot for longer, as well as cold drinks perfectly chilled, too. Available for dispatch in as little as five working days from the moment you approve your design, these branded travel mugs offer excellent - and sustained! - awareness of your business. 

We also have a wide range of stainless steel travel mugs available. 

#3 Reusable Glass Coffee Cups

Say 'hello' to our stylish glass coffee cups, which are reusable and offers an environmentally-thoughtful touch to any marketing campaign. 

Take your pick from four different colours for the lid and grip, with your artwork clearly printed on the grip. A great way to add an eco-savvy element to your business, these reusable branded coffee cups can be used over and over again by your customers!

#4 Marrow Mug

Elegantly sized, the earthenware charm of our ever-popular Marrow Mug means we're confident you - and your customers! - will love it. Available for dispatch in as little as 24 hours if you select our 'express' delivery option, this classic mug is ideal for creating eye-catching awareness for your brand.

A full-colour option of this best-selling branded mug is available, and they can even be Pantone-matched if your company has a specific brand identity it likes to work with - contact us today for bespoke pricing for your business. 

#5 Maxi Print Full Colour Mugs

With your artwork stunningly printed in vibrant full colour, these promotional mugs are the perfect way to make sure your business is the centre of attention on any tea break. 

Offering fantastic value and low, low prices, our Maxi Print Full Colour Mugs offer impact for your branding with every sip. Safe for popping in the dishwasher, they're available to order in as little as 50 units. 

#6 Americano Coffee Mugs

You can mix-and-match the colours of the lid and the cup of these branded travel mugs, allowing you to create something truly bespoke to your brand. 

Your artwork will be printed in up to four colours, ensuring visibility for your branding with every sip. With a minimum order quantity of just 50 mugs, this makes a great pick for businesses both large and small. 

#7 Kandinsky Travel Mugs

Sleek in black and silver, our Kandinsky Travel Mugs are ideal for going out-and-about with your customers. 

Whether you opt to have it printed or engraved with your artwork, it's a smartly branded travel mug that promises to keep coffee hot - and awareness for your business even hotter!

#8 Full Colour Universal Take Out Cup

Want to bring some colour to your campaign? It doesn't get any more vibrant than our Full Colour Universal Take Out Cup, which features your dazzling artwork in all its glory. 

Best of all? It's currently available with a 15% discount, meaning you can save money for your business whilst also generating potential new leads. You have until December 30 to place your order... What are you waiting for? 

#9 Sparta Promotional Mugs

Stylish in design and perfect for printing with your artwork (in up to four colours, if you were wondering), our best-selling Sparta mugs are ideal for helping generate awareness for your business with every use.

#10 Eco Plant Reusable Coffee Cups

Available in a range of striking colourways, our Eco Plant Reusable Coffee Cups makes the perfect eco-alternative to a throwaway paper coffee cup. A recent poll conducted by Total Merchandise suggests a third of Brits love coffee on-the-go - so why not make the experience a little more eco-friendly by arming customers with branded reusable coffee cups?

With the conversation around single-use plastic growing ever louder, there's no better time to add an eco-friendly touch to your marketing plans. Whether you opt to have your artwork printed to the cup itself, these eco friendly coffee cups will ensure extra awareness for your brand with every use.
