Personalized water bottles are versatile giveaways that fit any occasion. Depending on your capacity, you've probably been on the receiving end of a water bottle or given out one. Because of their function, these water bottles are naturally useful for sports tournaments and outdoor events. Give them out to participants to take home or use them as outdoor prizes. You can be sure that they will be a hit either way.



If you are organizing a fund-raising activity, personalized water bottles make good thank-you gifts to donors and volunteers. They are available in a range of colors, so you can choose one that represents your advocacy. For October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, giving out custom imprinted pink water bottles is a good way to express your gratitude to those who helped while subtly emphasizing the need to keep up the fight.

You can also put water bottles to good use in anniversaries or special events, as one bank once did successfully. To celebrate its silver anniversary, this financial institution ordered tons of personalized red water bottles to use as giveaways. Any client who walked into the bank wearing red automatically received a water bottle for sporting the institution's corporate color. You can say that the lucky client was happy to receive a surprise from out of nowhere.

Sports bottles have also found some success in school promotions. Target, for example, has used personalized aluminum water bottles as giveaways for its back-to-school promotions, in which the retail store brings college freshmen to a Target branch to shop for school supplies.

Personalized sports bottles are also effective tools for environment-friendly campaigns. One corporation gave them out as part of its corporate rewards program while educating employees on how using sports bottles can have a great impact on the environment. In an internally circulated literature, the company pointed out that using reusable sports bottles saves 410,000 paper cups every 15 minutes, which in turn cuts down garbage by 250 million pounds a year.

Isn't it amazing how a simple tool costing anything from $1 to $5 a piece can speak volumes?
