As the health and fitness industry grows, it’s no wonder that more attention is given to fitness apparel – and that includes promotional drawstring bags and branded gym bags. A good gym bag is essential for any gym-goer, making them great promotional gifts for your business.
Are printed drawstring bags a good fit for your business?
Here are five questions you need to ask yourself
1. What do you want to achieve through your promotional giveaway?
While a gym bag may make for a great giveaway, it’s essential to think about how much it will benefit your business. If you’re a gym or a company that sits within the health and fitness industry – then this could be an excellent fit for you. But, if you run a furniture store or a tiling company, it’s unlikely to have quite the same impact.
A gym bag is a great product to give away for those looking to get fit and those who are already active. If you time it right, you could target the 12% of all gym goers who sign up for gym memberships in January. As people make New Year’s resolutions to get fitter and start exercising more, your custom gym bags could begin making their way all over your local area, giving you great exposure for your business.
2. Do they fit in with your brand?
A drawstring gym bag is a product that is cool and on-trend, but is that right for your brand? It can be great if you’re trying to give your brand a bit of an update – but it could miss the mark if it’s not a good fit.
The great thing about promotional drawstring bags is that they can be designed to match your logo and branding for something that effortlessly connects the product with your business. Large gym bags like Slazenger gym bags have plenty of space for you to add your name, logo and all of your brand’s colours. Put a bit of thought into your design, and it could be a top way of finding favour with a whole new customer base!
3. Could they be a great gift for staff?
There are a lot of benefits for businesses who look after the health and wellbeing of their staff. Not only could it help them save money through having fewer sick days and encouraging a healthier workforce, but it could also help boost staff morale.
Why not use custom branded drawstring bags as a way to boost the health of your employees? The timing couldn’t be better with the New Year on the horizon and all those post-Christmas pounds just waiting to be lost. It’s a great way to introduce your business’s health and fitness initiatives. In contrast, a health and wellbeing day (as recommended by the British Heart Foundation) could be the ideal opportunity to hand out your promotional gym bags to those who attend.
4. Could they help your business do some good?
Businesses that give back to the community can benefit in different ways. From helping to increase job satisfaction among employees to help your business become a part of the community, there is a lot of good that can come from being a charitable business.
At the heart of it all is knowing that you’re doing something good for others. After all, Christmas is the season of giving, so why not use custom gym bags to give to a good cause? Use them to raise money as a reward for a donation or donate them to a local sports team that could use a bit of sponsorship and goodwill. It’s an excellent way to get your name out there and do some good for your local community – and it will have the added bonus of making you feel good too!
5. Could they be your most affordable way of local advertising?
Think about it – what will people see more of a newspaper advert or hundreds of people walking around a town centre or an event carrying one of your branded bags? Newspaper adverts can run up into the hundreds, even thousands depending on how much space you purchase. A Slazenger Active Travel Gym Bag starts at £15.48 a unit, while a drawstring bag such as our best-selling Essential Polyester Budget Drawstring Bags – popular with children and adults, could start from as little as £0.79p.
If you attend trade shows or local festivals, your fabulous, stylish giveaway could help you become the must-visit stand that day. People scour these sorts of events for the best freebie, but you can always make them earn it. Get them to put a post on social media tagging your brand or sign up to your mailing list – a short, simple interaction gives a great reward to them but offers excellent value for you. People love a good freebie that they can use, and just like promotional tote bags, which have been ever popular in recent years, the custom gym bag is undoubtedly the way forward.
