Corporate year-end gifts and new-year swag

Year-end gifts for employees and clients are a long-standing business tradition, and branded merchandise is a large part of them. The promotional products industry in the United States sells tens of billions of dollars of branded items a year, according to the industry association PPAI, and the fourth quarter is one of its busiest seasons as companies thank staff, clients and partners before the year closes.

The best year-end gifts are ones people use. Industry research by PPAI has found that recipients keep useful items such as apparel and bags for months or years, which is why many companies now build gift kits around a jacket, hoodie, hat or bag rather than a single desk item. A custom patch is often the branding on those kits: it can be added to any garment, it looks premium, and it avoids printing a logo directly on every item.

Gift kits are usually packed and shipped by mid-December so they arrive before offices close for the holidays. The same season is when many companies place orders for new-year swag, onboarding kits and trade show giveaways for the first quarter, so they arrive before January events.
