Why Should Startups Give Branded Gifts?

There are so many reasons why startups should give ​​logo-branded company merch. Aside from making a solid first impression, start-up company merchandise helps with word-of-mouth marketing and relationship building in a way that fits a smaller budget.

• Spread the Word: Startups are a lot less recognizable than established businesses, which is why they have to work twice as hard to get their brand noticed. Custom swag for start-ups can help with brand awareness and recognizability, and it puts branded products in people’s hands without asking them to pay for anything yet.
• Strengthen Relationships: The first customers you land as a new business are crucial connections. They’re the ones who will hopefully become loyal customers and brand advocates. Sending them free start-up company merchandise shows them your appreciation and encourages them to stick with you.
• Market Within Your Budget: Marketing tools can cost a lot of money, but branded merch for start-ups can be affordable and more effective than other promotional tools. Also, with such a broad selection of custom swag for start-ups, you’re bound to find something that’s within your price range. That’s double the value!

Now, let’s talk about the best-branded merch for start-ups that you can order and customize through Merchology. As always, contact a Merchologist if you want options other than what’s on this list.

Company Gifts for Startups

Logo-branded company merch for startups ranges from items you can wear, like tees and hoodies, to work-ready products, like notebooks and insulated tumblers. We also have hats, tote bags, and more to impress your connections with.

Custom Zusa Men's Black Heather Tamarac Tee

This soft custom tee is a must-have addition to an eco-conscious wardrobe because it’s made with 55% recycled materials (or the equivalent of around six water bottles). The fabric is moisture-wicking to stay cool on even busy days, and it’s also anti-pill, which means it’ll continue to look great after several wears and washes. There’s a women’s version, too.

Branded Richardson Navy/White Umpqua Hat

The on-trend, flat-brim branded Richardson Umpqua Hat is made from high-quality nylon for comfort, and the cotton sweatband prevents itchiness on extra-hot days. The brim is also designed to be flipped up for anyone who’s after a retro look. Plus, the snapback is adjustable to get just the right fit.

Screen-Printed Stanley Charcoal Quencher H2.O FlowState Tumbler - 30 oz

Who wouldn’t love to receive the ultra-trendy custom logo Stanley tumbler as start-up company merchandise from your new brand? Available in Charcoal or Cream colors, this tumbler is vacuum-insulated to keep drinks at the right temperature for hours. The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold, and the narrow base fits into most cup holders. It’s also leak-proof and dishwasher-safe.

Embroidered econscious Black 6.8 oz Hemp Market Tote

There are so many uses for a reusable bag, which is why they’re among the best start-up merch items you can offer. This embroidered econscious tote has a gusseted bottom so that the base of the bag remains durable even with a lot of use, and the webbed top also resists rips and tears. Plus, there’s a hanging pocket on the inside for keeping your keys or wallet within easy reach.

Company Logo Marine Layer Men's Faded Navy Afternoon Hoodie 

This casual, slim custom Marine Layer hoodie has a full zipper for the most convenient layering possible, and it comes in five classic colors, including a couple of purposely faded hues, that can coordinate with any wardrobe. The lightweight sweatshirt has also been pre-washed and pre-shrunk, so it won’t lose its shape or size after its first wash.

Custom Leeman Navy Cuffed Rib Knit Beanie

Knit beanies are always in style, and the custom Leeman Cuffed Rib Knit Beanie has an attractive faux leather patch on the front where you can add your brand decoration or logo. The soft acrylic fabric is both cozy and warm, and this is the type of branded merch for start-ups that becomes a walking billboard for your business.

Logo-Branded Zusa Navy Stone Notebook

Can you ever have enough notebooks? This sustainable custom mineral paper notebook from Zusa is a crowd-pleaser as far as start-up company merchandise goes, and it’s planet-friendly thanks to being made with mineral paper and soy ink. The hard cover is convenient for writing against, and it’s been wrapped with recycled fabric for a soft touch.
