We’ve got promo, yes we do! We got promo, how ‘bout you?

With school back in session, celebrations and events will help instill school spirit in students, staff and community. Whether it is at the grade level or in a college setting, educational institutions host events to excite students and the community around them.

Events like sports and fine arts productions invite students, alumni and staff to add fresh school swag to their collections. Sporting events in particular offer a great way to incorporate fun giveaways that can be cosponsored by different organizations to get exposure for their brand at these events.

Homecoming

Homecoming week is a vibrant and much-anticipated event that brings together students, alumni and the entire community in a celebration of school spirit and tradition. It is also a great way to incorporate promo for the school and local businesses. These items can create a festive atmosphere and unity. Using a school’s logo, colors and slogan creates a keepsake for product recipients and also creates a powerful tool of engagement.w

Distributing items like T-shirts and caps allows students and alumni to wear their school’s branded merch to pep rallies or alumni events. A community business can get in on the action by sponsoring different events throughout the week. Then when attendees receive their commemorative water bottle, the business’ brand is right alongside their school.

Game-Day Tailgating

Pride in your school or team doesn’t have to be limited to one week out of the year. The tailgating phenomenon brings students, alumni and supporters together for excitement and a shared sense of belonging. As people gather to celebrate their team, distribute branded items like can coolers, stadium seats or Bluetooth speakers to spark connections and create bonds.

Families and fans enjoy the pre-game festivities and promo products infuse an extra layer of enthusiasm as they prepare to cheer on their team. The whole experience will get attendees in the spirit and make it unforgettable. As you consider how to become involved with your school’s activities, think of what will best suit your brand in the form of Game-Day Gear.
