The holidays are the perfect time to spread good will and remain in the minds of your customers moving into the new year. What better way than with a gift that shows them you care?

Considering that 81 percent of people keep promotional products for more than a year, now is a great time to show your customers and employees some appreciation. Here are several branded gifts they can get excited about and use all the way until next season, creating buzz for your business:

Travel Mugs
Gift your customers and employees with a branded travel mug and a box of tea, hot cocoa or a bag of coffee. Finish with a gift card and bring some warmth to the office. Reusable and easy to tote around, they’ll promote brand awareness wherever they go.

Activewear and Outerwear
Fun, functional and trendy. These are the top three reasons why people keep promotional products, according to a study conducted by researchers at Relevant Insights. How about a branded quarter-zip or a fun logoed scarf, knit hat or ball cap?

Improved health and fitness are two of the most common New Year’s resolutions. Customers and employees will both appreciate workout towels, bags and water bottles.

Calendars
Sure, there are plenty of digital options for calendars. Yet according to research by the Advertising Specialty Institute, 76 percent of consumers who own calendars say they display them prominently in their homes or offices. Topped only by umbrellas (14 months), calendars are kept longer than all other promotional items (12 months) and tied with mobile power bands.

Desk Accessories
New desk accessories are perfect for ringing in the new year. Logoed sticky notes, a pen and pencil set, and notebooks are all items that can be put to immediate use. Incorporate these little tokens of your gratitude into your holiday gifts to remind your VIPs how valued they are this holiday season.
