Cold weather means hot opportunities for winter promotional items

By Carrie Kramer

Winter headwear and outdoor apparel accessories provide warmth and protection from the cold, making them practical promotions for chilly weather. Our headwear merchandiser, Jayne, has selected top trending beanies and winter accessories that will have customers, employees and supporters looking good all season long. From classic knit beanies and toques to warm gloves to scarves, these winter promotional items will get your brand seen on sidewalks and ski slopes!

Cuffs add an extra touch of style

Knit cuff beanies are always popular. With their double-layer knit design and fold-over cuff, they help keep the head warm while providing more coverage for the ears. They’re a perfect cold-weather promotional item for outdoor work and recreational activities. Deliver big impact by putting your imprint on the front of the Crossland^® Cuff Toque.

“The waffle-knit beanie is a trending style, providing additional warmth and insulation with its grid-like texture,” said Jayne. Try the classic Cuffed Knit Beanie with Patch—colour options like olive and navy are perfect for accessorizing winter outfits. Or elevate their look with a Rib Knit Cuffed Beanie, which has a leather-like patch. Sherpa- and fleece-lined beanies provide the ultimate in warmth, comfort and protection. The cozy lining makes the Sherpa Lined Knit Cuff Beanie something they’ll reach for throughout winter.

Classic knit beanies for a traditional look

Classic knit beanies, like The North Face^® Mountain Beanie, feature a smooth and straightforward look that’s a stylish addition to any wardrobe. “They’re a cold-weather staple for a reason: They offer protection against chilly air and an effortless option for accenting an outfit,” Jayne said. Consider the Classic Textured Knit Beanie, which features a leatherette patch for your logo. Or reach for the Tuscany Heathered Knit Beanie to add depth and interest to their winter accessorizing. The New Era^® Fleece Lined Skull Beanie has an extra-warm lining for additional insulation, so your crew can sport your logo during all their outdoor activities!

Pom-pom beanies and toques are playful winter promos

A pom-pom on a beanie creates a fun, eye-catching accessory. Inspire fashionable vibes with the retro collegiate-inspired Crossland Heather Pom Toque, or have them thinking cozy thoughts with the heathered Roots73^® Shelty Knit Toque or Cable Knit Beanie with Faux Fur Pom Pom. A thick cuff, like the one on the Pom Pom Cuffed Toque, provides added warmth and increases visibility. “Any of these winter promo items would make a great branded giveaway for outdoor events in the cooler seasons,” Jayne said.

Branded winter apparel accessories amp up warmth

Custom winter accessories, like scarves, ear bands and gloves, help keep your customers extra warm and your logo top of mind. Conduct Gripper Tech Gloves feature conductive fibres in the fingertips that easily interact with touchscreens, so there’s no need to remove the gloves.

Foster a sense of team spirit with the Fringed Scarf with Stripes available in a variety of colour options to best fit your brand! “Items like the Fleece Ear Band are easy to stash in a bag or coat pocket for extra protection on the fly,” Jayne suggested. Or cover all their cold-weather needs with the Keep Warm Buddy Set, which includes a scarf, hat and gloves in an imprinted storage pouch.

Help keep them comfortable and protected with wearable winter promos

Branding cold-weather accessories with your logo signals to your team and customers that you have their well-being and comfort in mind year-round. Cozy winter promotional items like hats and scarves make it easy for your logo to be part of all their cold-weather styling.
