Why Everyone Loves Custom T-Shirts
Custom t-shirts have been a reoccurring fad over the last three decades. At times they have gone out of fashion but have returned seemingly stronger than before. For business purposes custom t-shirts are ideal items to get a company exposure. Their large imprint areas and high-exposure location on the front of someone’s clothing makes them great for promoting a business or organization. Promotional products are meant to create a symbiotic relationship of sorts; the recipient of a promotional product uses the item while simultaneously promoting the company. Therefore, the user gets the benefits of the product while the company that provided it receives the benefit of advertisement.
For promotional purposes t-shirts are basically walking billboards that promote a company everywhere that person goes. T-shirts are also welcomed promotional gifts because people usually have a variety of t-shirts and are willing to accept more. They allow businesses to target a demographic; for instance if they are looking to promote to the general public they can hand out regular t-shirts, if they are looking to promote to a more professional crowd they can have custom printed logos on collar or button-down shirts. This versatility allows for successful promotional marketing campaigns over wide target audiences.
T-shirts are meant to be casual and fun, therefore customization of t-shirts should represent that light-heartedness. Many companies choose to customize t-shirts with colorful designs and creative slogans to show that their company’s vibrant personality while remaining professional of course. Many slogans and brands have been successfully cultivated through custom t-shirts, whether selling a product or service, finding a creative way to deliver a message to a target audience can do wonders for a company brand.
Custom t-shirts also allow for greater freedom in terms of creativity because of their large custom imprint areas. Personalized t-shirts usually have color customization options as well, which basically gives complete creative control to the person or company interested in custom t-shirts. There’s a variety of different advertising methods that can be used with custom t-shirts from traditional advertising which just puts a company logo on the shirt with matching colors or users can choose a more unique approach by creating shirts with attractive designs or creative slogans. Either way a company or person decides to customize a t-shirt they should be looking to create a shirt that will draw attention to their message or company name. Using multiple colors helps accomplish as well as quality graphic designs.

Top Five Promotional Products for Kids
Promotional marketing toward children is a classic marketing strategy that hopes to build a relationship with a family and not just a single person. Since children themselves aren’t part of the consumer market, it’s important to take into consideration the people who are purchasing products for them. Children’s TV shows and Movies are designed to be both entertaining for kids and their parents. Kids promotional products must be items they will enjoy and their parents will find practical. Here’s a list of five great promotional product ideas for children:
1. Youth t-shirts – Parents know that children require more and more apparel items as they get older and bigger. Providing youth t-shirts as a promotional gift is a nice way to help parents save on the cost of clothing. This gesture will certainly be appreciated by the parents and t-shirts are items that children really enjoy. When customizing a youth t-shirt, one must remember to reflect the playful and jubilant attitude of children in the design and custom printed logo.
2. Lunch Bags – Whether the child is going to school or a day camp, custom lunch bags definitely come in handy. Modern lunch bags are made of polyester and have zipper or Velcro insulation. Any parent or child will appreciate a quality lunch bag as they are extremely practical and can be used for several years and beyond.
3. Sports Bottles – Parents sign their children up for sports as a way to teach them about health and sportsmanship; sports teams also serve as a great place for children to socialize and meet friends. Custom sports bottles are ideal environmentally friendly gifts that serve the important purpose of keeping a child hydrated during physical activity. Personalized sports bottles can have fun designs and the added benefit of having child’s name custom printed on this promotional product.
4. Backpacks – Every child needs a backpack for school. They can also be used for sleepovers, hiking and many other scenarios which require transporting items. A quality backpack is important as an aid to help children stay organized in school. Many children are also fashion conscious and request stylish backpacks that meet modern requirements for features and design. Backpacks being used as promotional products must adhere to all of these standards to provide effective children’s promotional gifts.

Top Four Green Promotional Products
We all do our part in the modern world for our environment and we appreciate when others do their part as well. That’s why customers will appreciate environmentally friendly promotional products more than traditional promotional products. But, which products are environmentally friendly and are they high quality enough to be stellar promotional products. DiscountMugs.com has every type of promotional product you can imagine from t-shirts and pens to coffee mugs and wine glasses; and we’d like to showcase our environmentally friendly products and help our customers find the right green promotional product for them. Here’s a list of our top environmentally friendly products ranked based on the quality of the item and its environmental impact.
# 1 – Jute Tote Bags
Jute tote bags get the number one spot on the list for many reasons, but the main reason is that it has the least environmental impact of any product. Jute tote bags are also extremely popular because of their earthy designs that provide a unique aesthetic appeal. DiscountMugs.com has two main jute tote bag products our standard Jute Tote Bag and our designer’s choice Jute Panel Tote Bag. The standard Jute Tote Bag is big enough to carry large items like laptops and books but small enough to be easily stored under a chair or in a standard-sized compartment. The Jute Panel Tote Bag has all of the same quality features as the Just Tote Bag but with some flashy designs which include a panel with your choice of five different color designs. Both products are made of jute which is an organic material made out of interwoven plant fiber. This makes the bag extremely durable, water resistant and biodegradable.
#2 – Stainless Steel Travel Mugs
So, why is this non-biodegradable item considered a green promotional product? Well, since the most popular containers for coffee are Styrofoam cups, stainless steel travel mugs allow individuals to use potentially hundreds of less Styrofoam cups a year. Styrofoam and paper cups are extremely hazardous to environment, especially since they are used so frequently. And while it’s true that stainless steel travel mugs is not easily recyclable material, it durability allows the item to be used for decades without considerable wear.
#3 – Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Very few materials have as negative an impact on the environment as plastic water bottles. Since plastic is formed from fossil fuels and is non-biodegradable, it has a host of problems especially with estimate stating that we throw away 60-million tons of plastic water bottles per day and 22-billion per year in the United States alone. Stainless steel water bottles allow people to have a portable water source with a dramatically reduced environmental impact. These custom water bottles are also made of a stainless steel material that is so durable it can last a lifetime. These items are also popular for their stylish designs which include the option of receiving custom laser engraving.
#4 – Organic t-shirts
T-shirts are fun promotional products to get for your company or customers. Organic t-shirts add to the laid back and relaxed undertones of this promotional product. Organic t-shirts can be made of a couple different kinds of material but organic cotton is probably the best. Cotton is comfortable and has very little environmental impact.
