Seasonal advertising promotions can make a big difference in your annual bottom line. The best time to be thinking about fall promotional items is in midsummer, when you have plenty of time to plan out your advertising campaigns, work out the artwork and get everything ordered in time for your fall promotions. If you haven’t done that yet, though, don’t despair. Many companies that supply promotional items can do rush orders in as little as three days, and standard lead time for all but the most complex is about two weeks after artwork approval.



If you’re ordering promotional items for an autumn event, there are some products that are just naturally more suited to the season of the year. The weather is crisper, the days are likely to be cooler and it’s guaranteed that people are starting to look toward the upcoming holidays. Your advertising items and promotional products should take advantage of all of those things to be more appealing. Here are some suggestions for promotional items that seem all the more appealing as the days turn cooler.

Warm Fleeces

If you use promotional items as employee incentives, or to outfit sales staff, this is the time of year to break out the warm fleece jackets and jumpers. There are many different ranges of fleece promotional items available, in styles ranging from casual and sporty to chic and nearly professional. Pick colors and styles that suit your company’s image and have them embroidered with your business logo. They make great sales incentive gifts and loyalty rewards for loyalty programmes, too.

Insulated Travel Mugs

As the days start getting colder, the drinks start getting hotter. Insulated travel mugs are one of those promotional items that are appreciated year round, but even more so in the chilly fall mornings. Take full advantage of the cooler weather to gift your customers with a gift that will help keep them warm when the weather gets cold. Travel mugs make great promotional items because they are used by nearly everyone, and they have plenty of room for your logo or advertising message. They’re especially perfect for coffee shops and café winter promotions.

Hand Warmers

For your sporting and outdoorsy customers, hand warmers make excellent trade show and exhibition giveaways. They’re cleverly designed little inserts that heat up when you give them a good shake and keep your hands warm at sporting events and outdoor events for hours. They’re an unusual and especially appreciated promotional item for local clubs to hand out on game day, printed with the team mascot and logo, of course. They can even be an alternate stream of income to add to the snack vendors and other amenities offered at the stadium.

Watch Caps

No one ever has enough warm caps for the fall and winter months. Knit watch caps embroidered with your company logo make great fall promotional items, especially if your crew spend a lot of their time outside. Like fleece jackets and jumpers, promotional watch caps make great items for a loyalty programme.
