At Waterbottles.com, we know that a business or charity that focuses on the care and well-being of pets can sometimes have difficulty spreading awareness or increasing revenues or donations using traditional items like t-shirts, hats, umbrellas and totes. These products do advertise, but they’re not as efficient in attracting consistent attention as other items. Why? They’re rarely used every single day by those who own them.
A pet lover who works in a corporate business attire work environment, for example, can’t wear a t-shirt or cap featuring a logo that shows silhouettes of dogs or cats except on casual dress days and during employee appreciation gatherings. Branded umbrellas and totes are often only used by most people for special occasions, running errands or pet-related activities. Additionally, many workers aren’t allowed to keep large or distracting products that promote other businesses or organizations at their desks or work areas. As a result, they only use branded items on a regular basis that are functional and small or unobtrusive like pens, key chains, note pads and drinkware.
Whether you’re trying to improve the success of your pet-related store, service business, shelter or other non-profit program, competition or show, branded water bottles, coffee mugs, travel tumblers and other beverageware are perfect for attracting attention and increasing funds. Our logo printing and bulk order deals also make branded drinkware a highly inexpensive promotional solution.
You can add custom drinkware effortlessly to your current promotional strategies in these areas:
General sales
In a retail store or charity donation shop, display branded drinkware prominently on shelves in the home, kitchen or travel sections. Also, if you invest in sports bottles or travel tumblers, make certain that you have at least one example of the item displayed on or beside the cash wrap. Checkout displays that feature custom beverageware are highly attractive to pet owners and animal lovers who are traveling for business or personal reasons. In fact, some people will actually choose to buy empty sports bottles and travel tumblers to fill up elsewhere instead of cold bottled water and soda offered in a nearby refrigerator or vending machine because they like the ergonomic shape and reusable aspects of these items. That said, we offer bottled water that features custom labels for merchants to sell as well.
Fundraising events
Hand labeled water bottles to runner and cyclists during pet-related fundraising competitions. For your next direct mail, telethon or online donation fundraiser, give away a free, heavy-duty, insulated branded cold/hot beverage travel tumbler to any supporter who donates above a certain amount. As a special gift to the highest level donors, offer a gift basket filled with yummy treats for people and pets and include three different types of branded drinkware items — a large plastic sports bottle, a mug and a tumbler — to increase the likelihood of donors spreading awareness about your organization and campaign daily.
Special events
Lastly, provide free custom water bottles or other drinkware filled with water or another cool drink to pet owners during a summertime outdoor pet grooming day or grand opening or anniversary celebration. Keep in mind that you can offer the same with a hot drink during cold weather months. If you’re running a pet show or hosting an event to spread awareness about a pet-related topic, provide custom labeled bottled water to participants and guests free of charge to show your appreciation of them supporting the event. Also, if you’re hosting a food-based event or sponsoring another event and providing a snack table or booth, sell custom water bottles or other drinkware with soda, tea, coffee and other beverages.
