Hi friends!I just got back from my industry's largest trade show in Vegas. There are thousands of booths there. It was a long week, but I got there to see the cool and new promo products, what's trending, and where things are going this year. I go so I can come back and do exceptional marketing campaigns and things for you to help you reach new levels in your sales, marketing, and team success!
Watch the video for more details or read below for a quick summary. Let’s dive in!
The first thing I saw is the
colors.
The color palettes are different this year. More pastels, different hues, more options and colors that we haven't seen before. There is
way more eco-friendly
than we've ever seen before which makes me super happy because we love doing eco and we love saving the planet! Things like pens that are made out of coffee beans. There are lots of things with wheat straw. Sunglasses, lip balm, cups, and utensils. And more that I’ll be talking about in the upcoming weeks so

.
Hemp too, that's right!
Cannabis
is huge right now and people are buzzing about the products we can do from papers to grinders and so much more.
Blue blocker glasses
, we know how important it is to protect our eyes from all the strain of being on a computer all day long. In fact, I just got me a pair because I’m feeling the effects and want to save my eyesight. These glasses would be great for any company to use in their marketing and gifts. TO show you really care for them as a person. Smartphones. And really all things techie are hot!
Getting on the back of someone’s phone is universally the best place to be to get more eyeballs on your brand and remind the person that you are there when they need you.
Did you know that pop sockets announced that they're going to have a new wireless charger that works with the pop socket? They're going to be even more popular than ever!
Smart bottles.
We don't want ordinary bottles anymore and this is where things are going. There's a
new bottle that's coming out in May
from one of our manufacturers. It tells you how clean the water is inside, the temperature of it, and if you're not drinking enough water it reminds you to drink. AND it’s not going to break the bank to get! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!!
Retro
is big this year. We saw speakers that looked like an old retro speaker but sound better than anything after that they had back then. Records used as coasters, notebooks and more!
Two-fers
are hot! There's a new towel that had people buzzing. It’s a towel on one side and a blanket on the other side.
Packables
are hot this year too. Tumi travel neck pillow that turns into a jacket. Fanny packs and backpacks that turn into a jacket too. We are seeing that consumers are demanding more from their products and are loving features like this.
Retail brands
! More are seeing the value of allowing us to co-brand your company with these. We have more and more clients asking for this which is why
we have partnered with Patagonia, North Face, Travis Mathew, Cotopaxi and more
to make you stand out and elevate your brand!
Cause marketing
. If you're not doing cause marketing with your business, you need to. This is the first year that there was an entire area that spotlighted the products give back. Whether that's giving back to wounded soldiers or something else. This is hot and you something you want to make sure that we are helping you use in your swag and business!
