Key Points

  • Novelty branded merchandise helps brands stand out by offering something unexpected, which can increase engagement and recall.
  • Products like scrunchies, bento boxes, and reusable masks work well because they combine trend appeal with everyday practicality.
  • Cubic Promote supports businesses with customisation options and guidance to help turn unique ideas into effective branded merchandise.

It can be tough trying to get your brand to stand out from the crowd, especially during conferences, trade shows, and other crowded events. However, one shortcut to success that you can employ is the use of a unique or novelty promotional product, one that perhaps isn’t typically associated with marketing merchandise. Today we’re listing out some of our best-selling unique, customisable giveaways based on what our account managers have seen work for their clients.

Personalised Hair Scrunchies

One recent trend that has captured the imagination of many businesses around Australia is personalised hair scrunchies. Not only are they an affordable option compared to other merchandise, but their customisation options, such as full-colour printing, make them stand out from traditional corporate giveaways like pens and mugs. Alice Borja, one of our account managers, has managed an order of scrunchies for RPM Hire, which was a success.

If you’re looking for new ways to engage with clients/customers, then these quirky branded accessories might just do the trick! You could either mail them directly, hand them out at events or conferences (when possible), or incorporate them into uniform accessories for employees; whatever fits best for your business.

Logo Decorated Bento Lunch Boxes

Another potential hit gift idea worth considering is logo-decorated bento lunch boxes – trendy eco-friendly bento-style lunch containers made using recycled materials have proven successful amongst consumers recently due to their practicality and sustainability credentials!

By opting for a sustainable option and having your logo printed on the lunch boxes, your prospects are given the idea that you care for nature. Some of the clients who ordered bento lunch boxes are:

Reusable Promotional Face Masks

Disposable face mask usage has soared recently, so providing branded reusable promotional face masks could not only reduce cost but also show recipients that you’re changing with the times by providing products into their daily lives during these uncertain days.

Swami Rossat, one of our account managers, thinks that reusable masks also provide an excellent opportunity to promote your company’s logo or tagline. By creating a stylish and fashionable design (plus adding filters inside!), it becomes possible to really make the product ‘POP’ in comparison with other “vanilla” designs out there!
