A mug or water bottle with your company’s logo on it is a fantastic way to get noticed. Even if the person who uses the container doesn’t really study the design, it will work its way into their awareness eventually. You can’t use any old container, though. You want your name on something that people will find handy and easy to use. A few specific features help get your promotional drinkware noticed.
Hot/Cold Capability
Some drinkware is obviously made to handle hot liquids, like stoneware mugs; other drinkware is obviously not made for hot liquids, like bike water bottles that are supposed to hold a cold drink. But then there’s a gray area of insulated plastic tumblers and cups that don’t lend themselves easily to one or the other temperature — and that makes people use them for cold drinks only, out of caution. It also relegates many of these containers to a far corner of a cabinet as the person reaches for a coffee mug instead.
If you are going to use plastic tumblers for your promotion, look for hot/cold tumblers that are specifically made to handle a range of temperatures. The more versatile the mug, the greater the chance the person will keep using it.
Side Grips
Smooth tumblers look great — but if the user’s hand is sweaty, that tumbler could tumble. Find drinkware that has side grips, either in the form of rubber or plastic inserts or depressions imprinted directly on the sides of the container. That extra bit of security, as small as it appears, can make the user feel more secure about carrying the tumbler around.
Mug Lids
Yes, mug lids! Whether you’re getting camping mugs, coffee tumblers, or other promotional mugs, get one that comes with a lid. Even in clean homes and offices, little bits of dust can float into the mug, and that lid stops the dust from settling on the surface of the liquid inside.
