What's with the Swag? Recommendations and Insights on Company Swag

As a business, do you ever think it's a huge waste of time to invest in company gear or swag? Do you just assume employees don't care and to use the company budget elsewhere? Think again! In this article, we'll go over not only why investing in employees through, "swag," is important, but what employees want in terms of company gear. Feel free to add a comment below of what company gift/gear you would most want as an employee!

 

As a previous employee of multi-million dollar companies, I can attest that those little things (the shirts, the notebooks, the pens, etc.) can go a long way, especially if you're on a college or a fairly recent college grad budget.

 

We'll explore a few gear/swag options here, perhaps some you may not have even thought of in the past.

 

Desk Plants

This idea is credited to SwagUp, a fairly new company-swag-focused business based in New Jersey, that has grown to 40 employees or so and 10,000 clients in under three years.  In their article on best swag ideas (updated in October of this year), desk plants (surprisingly or not) is #1 on their list. For those at your company especially bored of the normal shirts and pens, this is very likely to spice up their work-life, workspace, and perception of the company and leadership.

 

Water Bottles

In Ashley Bell's SnackNation article, water bottles come in at #2 on their list. The company's mission involves finding healthier snacks to provide for healthier-minded people. Additionally, through their partnership with Feeding America, meals are getting to families in need for every box delivered.

For more of a generic and utility swag option, water bottles are a great pick. Pretty much no matter where you go (including what office you enter), you're likely to find those who are pretty intent on keeping hydrated (some more than others, like my friend, Chris, who made it a priority to drink well over 100 oz a day (think 7-Eleven Big Gulp bottle and more)). Water bottles are also an item that is customizable and has a lot of different color, style, and functional options.

 

From the Public Forum

These next ideas stem from more public-type open forums, including sources from Quora and Reddit (because who better to ask than the employees actually getting the gear/swag!).

It is surprising and amazing how various the swag items out there. You'll find reports of headphones, a laptop camera cover, reusable grocery bagsumbrellas, and more. Candy dishes, socks, and a golf tee were even featured on Pinterest as other company swag items.

One of the most interesting I cam across that is affordable seems pretty useful was a branded screwdriver.

The screwdriver features both Philips and Flat heads, a flashlight, and a built-in carabiner. Props to Sandia National Labs for that cool piece of gear!

  • The necklace is a great value for the price and looks much more expensive than it is.

  • Cinnamon can boost metabolism, since the body uses more energy to process the spice than it does for other foods. Cinnamon may have an insulin-like action in the body, which is seen in the way sugar is broken down in the body. Cinnamon can also improve body metabolism, targeting the fat deposited in the abdominal area.

  • It can go away on its own but is often chronic. Sometimes it is unrelenting and severe, and sometimes it comes and goes. It often is the result of nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The impact of nerve damage is a change in nerve function both at the site of the injury and areas around it.

  • One of the most important tasks in your weight loss journey is to track your calories. In order to lose weight, one must burn more calories than they consume. Keeping tabs on your calories helps you keep understand where you stand in your fitness journey. While most people do keep track of their calorie intake, it is just as necessary to know how many calories one is burning at the same time. In addition to helping you understand how you are doing, tracking your calories can also help you remain motivated.

  • Keeping your hair hydrated is very important because it helps to prevent many hair-related problems that are usually overlooked by many of us. Our hair needs deep moistening and conditioning to stimulate it’s growth and to maintain its strength and shine. Thereby, it is never impossible to get glorious long hair.
