Branded Merchandise for BPMA Product of the Year: Every Business Needs

At Epsom Incentives, we know how effective branded merchandise can be when building long-lasting connections with customers, partners and teams. Whether used as part of a product launch, given away at events, BPMA Product of the Year, or in appreciation to your staff, the right promotional product helps your brand stand out in meaningful ways. Our wide range of items is designed to fit different styles, occasions and budgets, all while delivering clear, visible branding.

We’ve pulled together a selection of product categories in our catalogue to help make your gifting and promotional planning easier. Our goal is to help you choose items that reflect your company’s identity and deliver value to the people who receive them.

Variety That Works: Product Categories that Matter

Our promotional catalogue covers all the product lines commonly used for business promotions. Each category is filled with products designed to be practical, attractive and easily customisable:

  • Drinkware: Reusable bottles and tumblers offer a large surface for your logo, and they’re always in-hand, whether in the office or on the go.
  • Writing Instruments and Stationery: Pens, pencils and notebooks make perfect giveaways. Our A5 Genie Notebook is an affordable, high-quality example of stationery that looks good and performs well.
  • Tech Accessories: Items like USB drives, power banks and Bluetooth gadgets are very popular for trade events or working professionals. They combine usefulness with long branding life.
  • Bags and Backpacks: From simple totes to rucksacks, our bags are roomy and reusable, making them effective mobile adverts.
  • Office and Desk Accessories: From mouse mats to desk tidies, these everyday tools can double as subtle reinforcements of your brand.
  • Apparel and Workwear: Branded polo shirts, jackets or high-vis gear can enhance your staff’s presence at public or team-focused events.
  • Eco-Friendly Items: More buyers value sustainability, so we’ve included biodegradable and recyclable versions in almost every category.

You can browse these groups in our complete product catalogue and find items that suit any campaign size or theme.

Branded Merchandise That Stands Out

We pick out certain products in each category that bring special value, not just because of how they look or function, but because they’ve earned attention from respected bodies like the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA). High-ranking items in the BPMA Product of the Year give your brand added credibility when used in a gifting or marketing context.

At Epsom Incentives, we include a selection of award-winning and shortlisted products in our listings. For instance, the Recycled Acrystalic Award gives you eco appeal combined with a smart, weighty display item for celebrating success. You can also explore other award products that bring recognition and environmental responsibility together.

By choosing items recognised by the BPMA, you’re not just picking functional pieces; you’re also attaching your brand to a mark of proven quality.

Corporate Gifting That Makes an Impression

When it comes to making your business relationships stronger, corporate gifting can go a long way. Whether preparing holiday gifts, welcoming a new client, or thanking a reliable partner, thought goes a long further beyond price tag.

By using high-quality branded items as part of your corporate gifting programmes, you show care, consistency and attention to detail. The key is identifying what speaks to your audience. Some might appreciate a premium power bank, while others value an eco-aware office item with personality.

We also offer express products for when those last-minute gifting opportunities arise, ensuring you can still deliver on time with your branding intact.

Trends this year focus more than ever on eco-awareness, portability and digital compatibility. Many people now expect the brands they engage with to make good choices about sustainability, and that plays out in the rising demand for reusable and recycled items.

Our product selection reflects that, putting emphasis on biodegradable packaging, reusable drinkware, and notebooks with recycled paper covers. You don’t have to sacrifice design for responsibility either; modern tools like laser-engraved branding or digital print allow sustainability and style to work together seamlessly.

It’s also worth considering tech-friendly items. People carry their devices everywhere, which creates branding opportunities through wireless chargers, earbuds, and organisers designed for travellers and remote workers.

Customisation and Ordering Made Simple

Getting your branded merchandise ordered and produced in time for your campaign or event doesn’t have to be complicated. We offer different options for printing, embroidery and engraving depending on the product type and materials involved. You can even explore multi-colour logo applications for better visibility, or embossing for a more premium feel.

Minimum order quantities vary, but they are clearly listed for each item, and our sales team is always ready to help you find items based on your quantity needs. Lead times are included on all listings, including those items available in our express range, for when you need fast turnaround.

If your campaign has a specific theme or colour scheme, we can match products accordingly to reflect your brand visuals. You can also get quotes and contact our team through a simple form directly on the catalogue product pages.

Branded Merchandise Picks with BPMA Product of the Year

Real Benefits of Promotional Giveaways

People keep useful products. Studies have shown that promotional items, especially those that people can use in daily work or life, lead to higher brand recall than digital ads or quick interactions. The longer a product is used, the more impressions it delivers.

This means branded merchandise works not just as a physical thank-you, but as a long-term reminder of your business. When given the chance, it also creates casual brand advocates who carry your image into new networks.

Smart giveaway choices that match your target audience can also create stronger brand liking. Something as simple as a lovely pen or a custom diary can be the detail that gets you remembered after the event is over.

Confidence Through Award Recognition

By featuring BPMA Product of the Year items in our catalogue, we give your business a reliable path to gifts and promo items that are recognised within the industry. These products go through judging based on design, usefulness, uniqueness and customer reception.

Seeing that a product has received finalist or award-winning status helps take the guesswork out of your selection and ensures the item you give carries professional credibility. That’s especially helpful when you use your branded gifts in formal settings or high-stakes meetings.

Summary: Practical, Memorable, Branded

Using well-chosen, professional branded merchandise as part of your marketing or team recognition goes far beyond just sticking a logo on something and handing it out. Each item gives you a chance to create a small connection through practicality and style.

At Epsom Incentives, we focus on helping you find promotional products that reflect your goals, your tone and your organisation’s values, whether your goal is brand awareness, team appreciation or smart corporate gifting. All while keeping the process as easy and flexible as possible.

From express service to eco options, BPMA award highlights to custom printing, every item can help your brand stay memorable.
