Top 10 Ideas for Job Fair Giveaways

Job Fair Giveaway Merch Ideas

Hiring today is more difficult than in the recent past. The national labor shortage has made hiring a challenge for employers across the country. As a result, employers are on the lookout for new opportunities to find new candidates who are a solid fit for their workplaces. 

Historically, job fairs have been an excellent way for qualified candidates and employers to find one another. Job fairs offer the opportunity to meet candidates face-to-face. They’re also a great place for attracting job-hunting college grads looking to break into their respective industries. 

Top 10 Job Fair Giveaway Ideas

If your company is attending job fairs this year, it’s incredibly important to make a positive, lasting impression on the candidates you meet. Custom job fair giveaways that feature your company’s branded logo are one way to do just that. If you’re wondering how custom job fair swag can help your company make a splash, keep reading. 

1. Custom T-Shirts 

Custom T-shirts are great custom job fair giveaways. If you want to inspire immediate brand recognition in your community, they’re an excellent choice. We especially love the custom Marine Layer Men's Faded Navy Signature Crew. Made from recycled beechwood fabric that is both sustainably produced and comfortable, this T-shirt will look good with your corporate logo printed on the front or back!

 

2. Logo-Branded Mugs 

Mugs make the perfect custom job fair swag for promoting your brand. Logo-branded mugs made from durable materials show job fair attendees that your company values quality. When it comes to company merch for job fairs, the sustainable branded Zusa 3 Day Black Daybreaker Mug 14 oz is a popular option. It has a comfortable handle and double-wall insulation that keeps contents cold or hot for long periods of time.

3. Logo-Embroidered Dad Hats

Logo-embroidered dad hats make fantastic company merch for job fairs. Everyone loves a great hat, so you can’t really go wrong! A top-quality embroidered hat can serve as a fashion statement, a shade during the summer, and a stylish way to show off your brand. Visit our Custom Headwear Buyers Guide to see your options (we love the logo-embroidered Zusa 3 Day White Staycationer Dad Cap). You can choose from caps, hats, beanies, and visors for your job event free giveaways. 

 

4. Branded Tote Bags

Branded tote bags are useful job fair giveaways that attendees can reuse for years to come. Hand them out during the fair so job candidates have a convenient tote for the swag they pick up throughout the day! This is a solid strategy for adding value to the attendees’ experience. 

At Merchology, we have a wide selection of reusable bags to choose from! Take a look at the custom Econscious Charcoal 6.8 oz Hemp Simplicity Tote. Beyond the job fair, attendees can use it as a shopping tote for sustainable trips to town.

 

5. Customized Beanies

Customized beanies are a stylish way to feature your branded logo--while keeping recipients warm in the cooler months! The custom Zusa Black Hyland Knit Beanie is an option we love, with a removable pom for two looks in one. With its recycled fleece lining and relaxed fit, it’s great for outdoor events, adventuring, and keeping cozy.

6. Custom Water Bottles

Custom water bottles are a logo-branded job fair giveaway item that you know will be used. Print or engrave your custom logo on a top-quality stainless steel bottle from YETI and S’well. Alternatively, check out the Custom CamelBak Charcoal Eddy + 25oz Bottle Tritan Renew. This is a strategic way to increase your brand awareness while encouraging attendees to stay hydrated.

 

7. Logo-Branded Portable Chargers

Logo-branded portable chargers make amazing job event free giveaways. This is especially true for event attendees, who are often in search of a place to charge their devices before the day is over. Save the day with custom job fair swag in the form of a portable charger like the custom Leed's Black on Black Quake Wireless Charging Pad! What a great way to make a lasting impression.

 

 

8. Custom Sweatshirts

Custom sweatshirts are comfortable logo-branded job fair giveaways with universal appeal. Custom-printed sweatshirts like the screen-printed Port & Company White Ultimate Crewneck Sweatshirt tell job seekers that your company cares about quality and comfort. If you want to inspire warm, fuzzy feelings when it comes to your brand, try incorporating sweatshirts with your job event free giveaways.

 

9. Logo-Branded Bluetooth Speakers 

Logo-branded Bluetooth speakers by top brands like Leeds, Anker, JBL, and Bose are great company merch for job fairs. We love the custom Jetline White Budget Wireless Speaker for its excellent sound quality and long battery life! When paired with your custom logo, this is a strategic way to keep your company top-of-mind with attendees--and get the party started.

 

10. Branded Gift Sets

Finally, if you want to ramp up goodwill with your job candidates, consider giving away branded gift sets at your next job fair. These sets include a customized selection of logo-branded job fair giveaway items attendees will love! Take a look at the Branded Leeman Tan Homecoming Gift Set, for example. This gift set contains a stylish beanie, a logo-branded insulated tumbler with sleeve, and delicious hot chocolate mix by Ghirardelli.
