Gone are the days when promotional products meant just slapping your logo on a pen or coffee mug and calling it a day. Don't get me wrong—classic promotional items still have their place! But in today's competitive business landscape, companies are getting much more creative with their branded merchandise.
Modern promotional products need to do more than just display your logo—they need to be useful, memorable, and aligned with your company values. The right promo item doesn't just end up in a drawer; it becomes part of your customer's daily life, creating multiple brand impressions over time.
At IMS Promotional Products, we've seen firsthand how the right promotional items can transform a marketing campaign. Let's explore the must-have promotional products that modern businesses are using to make lasting impressions in 2025.
In our increasingly digital world, tech promotional products offer the perfect blend of practicality and wow-factor. These items tend to have higher perceived value while delivering daily utility to recipients.
Wireless charging pads have become essential desk accessories for professionals everywhere. Branded with your company logo, these sleek devices eliminate cable clutter while keeping devices powered up. Recipients appreciate the convenience, and your brand gets visibility throughout the workday.
Portable Bluetooth speakers make excellent high-impact gifts for clients or top-performing employees. These versatile devices can be used at home, in the office, or on outdoor adventures, providing multiple environments for your brand to be seen and appreciated.
We've all been there—frantically searching for keys when we're already running late.

These affordable tech gadgets attach to keychains, allowing users to locate lost items using their smartphones. Every time they save the day, your brand gets the credit.

Today's consumers and employees increasingly expect companies to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Eco-friendly promotional products align with these values while showcasing your brand's commitment to sustainability.
Reusable shopping bags have transitioned from eco-friendly option to everyday essential. Durable, branded tote bags provide exceptional visibility as recipients carry them around town. For maximum impact, choose bags made from recycled materials or organic cotton with reinforced handles that can withstand regular use.
Portable bamboo utensil sets help recipients reduce single-use plastic waste while dining on the go. These sets typically include a fork, knife, spoon, and sometimes chopsticks or a straw, all housed in a compact carrying case that's perfect for branding.
Despite our digital world, notebooks remain incredibly popular promotional items. Opt for versions made from recycled materials with seed-embedded covers that can be planted after use. Pair them with recycled paper pens for an eco-friendly gift set that's both practical and planet-conscious.
Branded water bottles continue to be promotional powerhouses, but today's versions emphasize sustainability through materials like recycled stainless steel or biodegradable plastics. Consider premium options like Owala bottles that keep drinks at the perfect temperature all day while showcasing your brand.
The wellness trend isn't slowing down anytime soon. In fact, after recent global health challenges, wellness-focused promotional products have become more relevant than ever. These items show you care about recipient wellbeing while providing practical value.
Yoga mats offer extensive branding space and appeal to fitness enthusiasts of all levels. They're particularly effective for companies in the health, wellness, or lifestyle sectors, but can work for any brand looking to promote wellbeing.
Lightweight, portable exercise tools like resistance bands make excellent promotional fitness products. They're affordable, useful, and can be branded with your company name or logo. Consider creating custom workout guides to accompany these items for added value.
Hydration is fundamental to wellness, making high-quality water bottles perennial promotional favorites. Today's recipients particularly value double-walled, vacuum-insulated bottles that keep beverages hot or cold for hours. Brands like Owala offer premium options that recipients won't want to part with.
Perhaps the most innovative category in promotional products today is mental wellness kits. These thoughtfully curated packages might include items like:
Quality sleep has become a wellness priority, making sleep-enhancing promotional products increasingly popular. Consider branded sleep masks, aromatherapy diffusers, or white noise machines that help recipients unwind after busy days.
For brands targeting outdoor enthusiasts, promotional products like cooling towels, branded frisbees, or stylish sunglasses encourage healthy, active lifestyles while providing excellent brand visibility.
Choosing the right promotional products is just the beginning. To get maximum impact from your investment, consider these best practices:
The most effective promotional products align with recipient interests and lifestyles. Consider demographics, professional roles, and personal interests when selecting items. For example:
A cheap promotional product that breaks quickly does more harm than good for your brand image. It's better to distribute fewer high-quality items than numerous low-quality ones. Remember, these products represent your brand's standards.
Consider creating themed promotional bundles for greater impact. For example:
Strategic timing enhances promotional product effectiveness. Consider distributing items:
The most effective promotional products do more than just display your logo—they create positive brand associations through usefulness, quality, and alignment with recipient values.
Whether you choose cutting-edge tech gadgets, sustainable swag, wellness products, or creative combinations of all three, the key is selecting items that recipients will genuinely value and use regularly.

In addition to sunny colors, the coffee chain’s seasonal drop focuses more on carrying and customization than volume.
Could the days of 40 oz. tumbler dominance be behind us?
If Starbucks’ summer drinkware collection is any indication, consumers might be looking for more manageable drinkware options – especially when on the go.
The Starbucks seasonal drinkware collection is typically a good look into what sort of designs end-users want for things like tumblers, cups and bottles. The colors reflect the season, with the summer collection full of bright yellows, blues and greens. But what stands out the most in the collection is the relatively small size of all the pieces.
Recently, 40 oz. tumblers inspired by the “Stanley Cup” were all the rage, and drinkware suppliers created their own answers to the piece after it became a social media sensation. Now, however, Starbucks is betting on end-users looking at smaller drinkware pieces – and also accessories for them.
Take, for example, the Cold Cup & Carry Case from this collection. It’s only 24 oz., and it comes with a carrying case and strap that matches the lid of the cup. This bridges the gap between tote bag and water bottle, creating another opportunity for branding with the carrying strap and bag.
The Vibrant Yellow Cold Cup & Carry Case (24 oz.) from Starbucks
Elsewhere in the collection, there’s a 24 oz. cold cup with a flower charm that fits around the straw. The idea of a drinkware accessory is something that makes sense for a 40 oz. tumbler, where you can attach a “tumbler backpack” for carrying small items. But the charm idea creates an opportunity for end-users to collect or trade their charms like they might do with trading cards or even other accessories of this ilk. Look at the "Labubu" collectibles that are currently all the rage for people to put on their purses and bags. (The idea of merchandise specifically for the Labubu dolls is a topic for another day.)
It’s simple, but something like that adds a layer of branding and creates engagement among end-users, and possibly even additional business if the customers can go back to get different varieties.

Whether the Stanley Cup era is truly over remains to be seen, but some suppliers and distributors have predicted that the tariff situation could make it difficult, or at least not as cost-effective as other drinkware choices.
The change could also just be that trends are cyclical, and end-users fluctuate between two ends of product spectrums. Baggy pants give way to skinny jeans, and then we go back to baggy. Hard goods are not exempt to these swings in consumer trends. At one point, everyone wanted their cell phone to be as small as possible, and then smartphone manufacturers offered products that double as tablets.
The drinkware got bigger, and now it might get smaller when end-users want something easier to carry.
