Ottawa is a hub for Canadian tech and politics. All of our industry attracts a lot of interesting projects and businesses and we’ve seen CEOs and marketers use branded promotional products and custom printed apparel to spread the word about their brands. Let’s break down a few great ways to promote your Ottawa company with tee shirts, customized sweatshirts and more unique promo ideas!
Custom Printed Shirts
Custom tee shirts can be worn as team uniforms, sold as merchandise or given out as free promotional gifts to customers and potential clients alike. The trick is to design something stylish and comfortable that people will continue to wear all year long. Reach out to a local designer and make a custom printed shirt that will be seen all across Ottawa!
Custom Printed Tote Bags
While we’re on the topic of year-round use, tote bags are an incredible promotional product. People use them in all seasons to carry their books, groceries and laptops. Your custom printed tote bags should represent your brand well so create a design that integrates into your business’s existing aesthetic. If you’re known for your stark, serious branding, create custom printed tote bags with a sleek black and white design. If you’re more playful, go for a colourful tote bag that will stand out from the crowd!
Custom Printed Headwear
Screen printed and embroidered hats make incredible promotional products – they look great and stand the test of time. Looking in my closet now, I have custom printed baseball hats from years back and they’ve aged beautifully. The key to designing a custom printed baseball cap for Ottawa is making it timeless – never add the year like: Fun Fest 2018, instead create a unique and attractive design that will look great for years to come.
Custom Printed Patches
Patches are another timeless promotional product here in Ottawa. Once a patch is sewn on or ironed-on, it becomes a part of the jacket or bag, so again, create a timeless design! Instead of just embroidering your logo onto custom patches, try adding a fun slogan or a visual that will remind people of your Ottawa business, charity or event.
Customized Umbrellas
With the weather we get, most people in Ottawa have an umbrella in the house or car (or handy belt holster during the Spring.) Make your company a helpful and essential part of your customer’s lives by creating custom printed umbrellas with your brand name proudly displayed. We have umbrellas in all sizes, choose between a tiny mobile umbrella or a massive golf umbrella.
Creative Promotional Products Ottawa
Get your name out there with some truly creative promotional products! You’ll always be remembered as the company that made something unique if you think outside the box.
Custom Printed Awards
An award is a unique promotional product, especially great for events and festivals where contests take place. Create a uniquely designed award or plaque and make it the focus of your event with tons of pictures and promo material hyping it up. Make sure the award is epic looking so it’s worth the hype!
Custom Printed Socks
Socks are a trendy promo product here in the city. You’ll see people of all ages wearing unique socks with funny designs, slogans and messages. Make something special out of your custom sock order! Going beyond your logo and making a branded sock that appeals to people’s unique tastes will ensure it’s popularity.
Custom Lighters
If you run a bar or restaurant, you know that lighters and matches are super popular amongst the young Ottawa crowds, but custom lighters aren’t just for pubs! We’ve printed customized lighters in Ottawa for marketing companies, publishing houses and bands. Find out what your customers are using every day and create a promo product that connects with them!
Custom Sports Uniforms
From printed hockey jerseys to embroidered golf shirts, Ottawa has a ton of atheletes and they all need custom printed sports uniforms! If you’re running a team, have fun with the design and make something super cool that will stand out from the competitors, even if you’re just in a casual hockey league you can create a memorable brand for your team. If you’re in a company looking to sponsor a local team’s jersey, don’t just slap your logo on the back – integrate your company’s logo into the custom sports jersey’s design.
Custom Printed Mugs
Mugs are super cozy, dearly beloved and fiercely guarded. I’m not sure why people get so attached to their favourite mug but it definitely happens. When you’re designing custom printed mugs for your Ottawa group, keep in mind that it could become someone’s favourite. Create a mug that has charm, order a uniquely designed mug that will stand out from the rest and integrate your brand in a fresh way.
