Joe’s Promo Picks: Travel Accessories
Those heading out on trips this summer and fall are sure to appreciate these essential items.
People are ready to travel again after COVID, according to industry data, but their preferences have changed. New data from Viator found that almost half of experiences booked this year through its platform were predominantly outdoors, and the same amount of people are looking for more local experiences rather than heading overseas. For example, the booking rate for domestic experiences like the San Diego Harbor Cruise and the Boston Ghosts & Gravestones Nighttime Trolley Tour grew by 700% in 2021 compared to 2019. Wherever travelers are heading, the branded travel accessories here are must-haves for the trip.
SanMar (asi/84863)
Protection from the sun is easier with this ventilated wide brim hat (C947). Made from 75/25 poly/nylon ripstop, it features insect repellent technology, UPF 30+ sun protection, a moisture-wicking sweatband and adjustable cord and toggle. The foam brim allows it to float in water, so it’s great for boating and beach promotions. Choose from four colors.
Logomark/Valumark (asi/67866)
For those families hitting the road for a vacation or carting the kids to their sports and activities, this trunk organizer (GR5206) would be a welcomed giveaway. Made from durable heathered gray 300D material, it features six exterior mesh pockets, two front pockets, two carry handles, and two removable/adjustable tie-down straps. Folds down for easy storage.
Stouse (asi/89910)
For craft brewers and bottle shops, this recyclable bottle carrier (86715) is a chance to increase brand awareness. Made from recycled corrugated cardboard, it’s designed for cold and wet environments. Can also be used as an incentive by offering discounts on purchases when the carrier is reused.
Fey Promo (asi/54040)
Cellphone wallets have become a tried-and-true promo item, and this commuter phone wallet (4034) takes it to another level. Made of soft leatherette, it holds up to three credit cards, driver’s license and cash. It also comes with a pen with stylus that’s great for using on tablets and other touchscreen devices.
The Book Company (asi/41010)
I thought this brand-new-to-the-industry item was pretty cool when I saw it: the Crumpled City map. Forget your GPS and reach for a nostalgic item. These lightweight maps are virtually indestructible, soft and waterproof. They can be crumpled, squashed and crushed into a ball. Ideal for travel agencies and visitor centers.
