We know that travel mugs are not only fun to make, but they are highly useful in everyday life. Many of our customers print customized travel mugs to help get their names out there, but that’s not the only reason our customers love to print custom travel mugs!

Here are our top 5 reasons for customizing a travel mug to help you get some creative ideas for your own custom order:

5. For a destination wedding. Most destinations have a small guest list anyway? So why not send a travel mug as a save-the-date. With minimum orders as low as 12, sending a customized travel mug is not only a fun way to get your wedding started, but it’s a great way to show your guests just how much you care to have them there!

4. To promote your coffee shop. Sure – putting your logo and coffee shop name on a travel mug might seem obvious. But are you also offering a special discount for customers that use your travel mug? Why not offer 25% off of each coffee order (or free refills) when customers use your mug. You’ll not only save the environment by reducing waste, but you’ll get a steady stream of repeat customers!

3. Bring clients in out of the cold. In the fall, as winter draws near and temperatures begin to drop, send out travel mugs to your best customers with hot chocoate and marshmellows. Include a note about how you’re always there for them and look forward to finding ways to make them more comfortable and provide the kind of service they deserve.

2. Use them for a family reunion. Many families get together just once a year for a large family reunion. Have customized travel mugs printed off for your next reunion in order to remind people of the joy of family – and to thank them for traveling to the reunion. Your family members will thank you – and love the cute keepsake!

1. To promote your business – everywhere. Develop a cute message that reminds your customers that you’re always available for them – no matter where they are. By printing this message on a travel mug, your customers will not only appreciate the useful promotional item, but they will also take your information with them wherever they go!!
