Your Complete Guide to Branded Promotional Products and Corporate Gifting with Epsom Incentives
When it comes to creating brand awareness and building trust with customers and employees, few things work as well as giving out useful, branded items. Whether it’s a small thank-you gift, something to hand out at exhibitions, or a way to make staff feel valued, branded promotional products provide something real and remembered. Unlike online ads or emails, they’re held in your hand and used again and again.
At Epsom Incentives, we’ve put together a practical catalogue packed with a wide range of ideas to suit almost every industry and purpose. Let’s walk through the standout items and ideas that can help your business leave a lasting impression.
Promotional Gift Ideas that Make an Impact
Some gifts are used once and forgotten, while others become trusted favourites in someone’s daily life. Our collection of promotional gifts focuses on the second kind. We believe that when a gift is both useful and tailored to your audience, it helps your brand become part of their routine.
From pens and notebooks to reusable water bottles and tote bags, these items are ideal for giveaways at trade shows, gift-with-purchase campaigns, or to reward long-term customers. Each item can be personalised with your logo or message, making them part of your wider brand activity.
Even small personal touches can change the feel of a gift. A quick message, your company slogan, or custom colours that match your brand can turn a simple item into something more meaningful. People value gifts that feel unique to them, and that’s where branded promotional products truly shine.
Lunch Pot: Smart Branding Meets Daily Use
One of our most popular items right now is the versatile and reusable lunch pot. Perfect for businesses that want to show concern for staff wellbeing and the environment, lunch pots are both thoughtful and functional. Every time a recipient uses one, your brand gets valuable visibility.
At Epsom Incentives, we offer several high-quality options, including:
- The Sup-o Lunch Pot: Designed with simplicity and style in mind, great for soup or pasta and built from sustainable materials.
- The Mepal Ellipse Lunch Pot features two compartments to keep ingredients separate until mealtime, making it great for anyone prepping food on the go.
- The Miyo Lunch Box Standard: Customisable with your brand’s logo and ideal for single-portion meals.
- The Miyo Lunch Box Double: A spacious version with full-colour branding options, giving greater impact to your logo or design.
Each of these products supports health, convenience, and eco-friendliness, aligning well with emerging workplace trends such as hybrid working, a wellness focus, and sustainability. In short, they’re practical items that people actually want to use, and that’s exactly what makes them smart promotional choices.
Branded Promotional Products for Everyday Business Use
Some of the best opportunities to introduce your brand into people’s lives happen during ordinary tasks. Think about the amount of time an employee or customer spends using pens, mugs, USB drives, or notebooks. Every time they use a branded item from your company, your logo and message stay front and centre.
Our catalogue includes hundreds of branded promotional products covering:
- Drinkware: Water bottles, mugs, travel tumblers
- Stationery: Printed pens, notebooks, highlighters
- Tech: Branded power banks, USB sticks, mousepads
- Clothing: Custom polo shirts, embroidered caps, lanyards
- Bags: Sports bags, rucksacks, laptop bags, totes
When these are printed in your colours and signed with your message, they don’t just serve a job. They help keep your identity familiar. Whether they’re given to the public at an event or used inside the office as part of your own team kit, they build a connection without any force or fuss.
Personalised Corporate Gifts Worth Giving
Thoughtful gifting doesn’t have to be expensive or flashy. Personalised corporate gifts can be simple, but still deliver a big feel-good moment. Whether you’re welcoming a new hire, celebrating a client partnership, or thanking someone after a meeting, a branded item shows that extra level of care.
Our most popular corporate gifting items include:
- Executive pens and journals, engraved or embossed
- Branded presentation boxes filled with eco chocolate or wine
- Office gadgets like wireless chargers or multitools
- Custom desk planners and calendars
- Soft-touch accessories like blankets or slippers are ideal for winter packs
These gifts make great welcome packs for staff, conference thank-yous for guests, or part of seasonal gifting campaigns. When given at just the right moment, they reinforce your values and help you stay in someone’s good books long after the gift is received.
Sector-Specific Gift Ideas That Work
Every industry has its quirks. A gift that works in retail might not land the same way in education or medicine. That’s why our catalogue at Epsom Incentives is organised in a way that helps you find the right products for your sector.
Here are a few good fits:
- Healthcare: Branded hand sanitisers, pill organisers, or lunch pots that promote wellbeing among busy professionals.
- Education: Useful giveaways like rulers, highlighter sets, and stylish stationery for open days or staff rewards.
- Hospitality: Aprons, corkscrews, and recipe notebooks that double up as strong branding symbols.
- Retail: Bags-for-life, badge reels, or counter displays, helping teams stay visible while in-store or at events.
By matching your gifts with the tasks or environments your audience faces, you can be sure those items won’t just sit in a drawer.
Let Quality Speak for Your Brand
The success of a promotional item depends on how useful it is, how well-made it is, and how it fits your values. That’s why we recommend choosing products that are:
- Durable and built to last
- Relevant to your target audience’s daily routine
- Consistent with your company’s image in style and tone
Trendy themes like wellbeing, remote working, and sustainable packaging are worth thinking about when planning your gifting or promotional campaigns. Choosing the right mix of design, usefulness, and message can keep your brand on people’s minds for long periods, even after the original event or campaign is over.
How to Match Products to Your Brand Goals
When picking out branded promotional products, always think about what you want the item to do. Are you building awareness with the general public? Hoping someone will recommend your brand? Rewarding loyalty from staff?
Try to map your choices to your goals. For example:
- To grow recognition: Choose items with high visibility, like branded umbrellas or tote bags
- To support wellness: Use items like the Sup-o Lunch Pot or Mepal Ellipse Lunch Pot
- To make onboarding memorable: Consider Miyo boxes packed with practical desktop items and snacks
- To keep clients sweet: Include personalised snacks, drinkware, or tech in your outreach packs
Once you know your aim, picking the right items from our promotional product catalogue becomes a lot easier.
