5 Unusual Branded Merchandise Ideas for Aspiring Brands
Meetings, Events, and travel are back, with the rescheduling and normality of regular activity resumed in the aftermath of Covid-19.
These physical interactions are creating opportunities that face-to-face interactions offer to position your brand with, high-quality branded merchandise.
One significant change is the super-low unemployment resulting in a shortage of talent and a rise in choice for job hunters. This has led to firms increasingly offering ‘golden hello’ payments and putting emphasis and investment into onboarding packs for new starters to profile their organisation as better than others in their field. Onboarding packs have also gained traction on social media which has been fantastic profiling and PR opportunity for employers.
Moulded power banks
Power banks are one of those products we always tell ourselves we need but never get around to buying. It’s for this reason these quirky moulded power banks are such a hit – they’re desirable. As a bonus, the novelty factor makes them certified Instagram-worthy, so you’ll get a few social mentions out of it too.

Rubik’s Cube Bluetooth speaker
Like moulded power banks, Bluetooth speakers are a desirable item many of us haven’t gotten around to buying yet and this one is extra special. Shaped like the classic toy, they’re sure to get people talking. They’re a perfect choice for onboarding packs and giveaway packs. We recommend having them branded with your company logo. Since most users will take them while travelling or on trips with friends, you’ll get a nice little brand-awareness boost and word-of-mouth appreciation from the recipient.

Unusual recycled stationery
Branded stationery, in general, is always well received. We can never have too many pens and notebooks, right? The benefit of recycled stationery is that it has the added factor of remarkability – it makes a good talking point. The example above, for instance, is a pen made from recycled corn – pretty cool! We can also source other quirky stationery items like notebooks made from recycled apple cores and lanyards made from recycled paper.
One of the latest products we’ve launched is a notebook made from coffee grounds an amazing sustainability story and the product even smells of coffee which is sure to appeal to any coffee lover.

Unusual Branded plant pots
With many of us now working more than ever before from home, these branded plant pots would make a well-appreciated addition to our newly created home offices. We can’t guarantee it, but we suspect these might get your brand a bit of Zoom or Teams screentime too – and that’s sure to make you a hot topic during virtual meetings!
Try a growth competition amongst peers. We think you’d be amazed how competitive teams get over the simple concept of growing their plant faster than a colleague’s pot.
