What's trending today might not be trending in a few years, but when it comes to promotional products, we see a pattern. See what topped the charts in 2022 and what will still be a hot commodity in 2023.

Here’s a list of 10 of the bestselling promotional products of 2022 and what we at Proforma Solutions expect to continue offering in the promotional products world for big and small businesses for the year 2023.

1. T-Shirts

T-shirts are a great promotional product because they’re useful, functional, and appealing to virtually any target audience. Whether they’re a Christmas gift for your clients, a promo gift for conference attendees, or just another product you sell to loyal customers, it’s important to remember that simple goes a long way. Promotional products have been around for centuries, dating back to 1789 with buttons to campaign for the United States’ first president, George Washington.

Within the promotional products industry, 38% of consumers stress that it’s most important an item be useful, and a t-shirt is definitely at the top of the list for being useful, that’s why at Proforma Solutions we have an endless inventory of different styles and designs for any client.

2. Polos

Similar to polos, this promotional product works for hundreds of businesses. School administrators, golf players, coaches, office receptionists and business professionals may all opt for a polo instead of a t-shirt. One thing our clients love to add to their polos is their embroidered logo. If you’ve never seen what that looks like, we have samples here.

3. Mugs

Who doesn’t love a nice mug every now and then? Of course, some businesses can buy these year after year, believing their customers will still enjoy it, and for us that’s a big no-no. Instead switch it up with a different kind of drinkware, or try asking your customers what they’d enjoy using using a poll. Again, promotional products should represent your brand well, but if you want them to go a long way they also need to be useful. Having multiple mugs from the same business and with the same logo isn’t the route to go. However, if you’re new to promo products and really want to get your name out there, mugs might be a great choice. You can order any kind of style, while staying within your budget! You can check out your options with Proforma Solutions here.

4. Hoodies

In places like California where it’s warm most of the year, many might believe that hoodies aren’t the best promotional product, but with winter weather and rainy spring days, there’s a lot a hoodie can do. From using it to keep you warm throughout the cold nights, to wearing on beach trips, workouts at the gym, or just small errands to the grocery store, hoodies offer a lot of promotional value for any kind of business. So add it to your list of promotional products ideas, we have a lot to offer. Ready to up your business with a branded hoodie? Add your own text, brand, or logo to it! We offer embroidery, heat transfer, and screen-print.

5. Bags

Bags work virtually anywhere and that’s why they’re one of the top promotional items we sell at Proforma Solutions. They come in different shapes, styles, sizes, colors, and purposes. You can use them for a sports game, to go grocery shopping, or make a bigger investment and take it to work, church, or special events. Whatever the case, your business can stand out on a purse, backpack, tote bag, grocery bag, or fanny pack with just a simple logo.

6. Pens

Pens are at the top of the list for promotional products because they’re useful, inexpensive and compact. It goes without saying that pens can work for any industry and they’re often passed from one person to the next. When customers look at their pens, make sure one of them has your business name on it!

Even if you’re a small local business, a brick and morter of any kind deserves to be shown off to the rest of the world. That’s where travel cups come in handy. They’re not only useful for commuting from home to the office, but also for traveling. Going on a hike, to the beach, or vacationing in another city?

9. USB Charger

One of the best ways you can say thank you to your employees or customers is gifting them with something appealing and useful! That includes usb chargers. Depending on your industry, your employees might be on the road often, or out in the fields, so get them something sturdy, durable and functional. However, if your employees are in the office, giving them a charger with a stand for easy access and view to their phone could be just what they need to see that you care! Take your pick here.

10. Water Bottles

Water bottles is one of the most effective ways to promote your brand. It’s useful and promotes good health. So if you’re looking to switch up your promo options, consider going for the water bottle.
