The Best Promotional Merchandise For Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving back and is usually celebrated the Tuesday after the world-famous Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Anyone and everyone can get involved with #GivingTuesday: whether you choose to encourage your staff to volunteer for a good cause, provide giveaways for your staff, arrange giveaways for the local community or something else entirely, it all counts. How you choose to involve your brand is entirely up to you - all that matters is the taking part and the intention behind it!

What Is Giving Tuesday And Why Does It Matter?

Giving Tuesday is celebrated globally and this year, it's taking place on December 3rd 2019. This international day of charity was first launched in 2012 as a simple idea - a day that would simply encourage people (and businesses!) to do something good.

Since then, it has sparked a global movement and to illustrate the impact it has, we've listed a few impressive facts below:

In 2018, over $400 million dollars were raised online as part of Giving Tuesday.
The hashtag #GivingTuesday received 14.2 billion social impressions across platforms in 2018.
Giving Tuesday holds the world record for the most amount of money raised online for charity in 24 hours.
Over 150 countries take part in Giving Tuesday each year.
There were over 3.6 million gifts given as part of the 2018 edition of Giving Tuesday.

If those five killer stats aren't enough, a recent article published by Whole Whale predicts the 2019 edition of Giving Tuesday will raise a massive $502 million (£389 million)!

In the UK alone, there are over 3,000 GivingTuesday partners with big-name brands involved including BT, PayPal, Samsung... The list goes on but it's not limited just to big corporations - rather, businesses of any size can get involved and any individual can do their part for Giving Tuesday.

This is a great opportunity to showcase your brand as a company that cares and is dynamic enough to get involved with dynamic events. Enter promotional merchandise!

Benefits Of Promotional Merchandise In Your #GivingTuesday Pledge

Sometimes the little things really can make a big difference - especially when it comes to kindness. For example, a £5 or £10 donation might not sound like a huge amount to an individual but when there are millions of people also chipping in, this can quickly add up to a huge donation.

If your business is taking part in Giving Tuesday, promotional merchandise can delight your staff or clients and leave a lasting impression, reminding people your brand has helped contribute to this amazing global event.

This in itself can present many opportunities for your business, including:

Brand awareness and recognition: promotional merchandise is an effective way to keep awareness for your business at a high long after Giving Tuesday. In fact, a recent study from the BPMA shows 96% of merchandise recipients believe promotional products increase their awareness of a brand.
Engaging with your audience: branded products offer an excellent and creative way to engage with your audience. For example, you could gift your customers with a promotional item for a charitable donation, or offer them as in-store giveaways.
Raising additional funds: if you choose to sell your promotional merchandise, there is potential for you to generate more in the way of a donation towards the Giving Tuesday cause.
