Each January, our team is excited to attend the PPAI EXPO in Las Vegas, where we explore the new and trending promo merch products in the industry. Featuring more than 1,200 exhibitors and showcasing more than a quarter million products, we see, touch and taste a lot of promo merch! We reviewed the products that caught our eye, sampled the quality and discussed which items would have the biggest impact for our clients. Then our team compiled a list of our favorite new products for 2023!
Check out our 2023 New Products in our Trending Items Showroom.
Here is a deep dive on four of these exciting new items:
Anywhere Belt Bag
Everywhere you look, you see people with the belt bag – from teens to adults! What makes this style popular is the fact that it can be converted from a sling to a fanny pack, and the quick-access features make this bag easy and more ergonomic to use for festivals, concerts, traveling, vacations and sports events. “Retail-inspired” dupes are all the rage and this one is right on target!
Denali Tumbler
This past year, the “Stanley” (a high performance 40 oz water bottle with a handle and straw) has been all over the retail scene. It is made by Stanley, the 100+ year old outdoor company famous for their green thermoses. And now we are seeing a number of alternative versions to the Stanley including the Denali, which has a double wall, stainless steel thermal mug with copper vacuum insulation, a push-on clear lid and powder coated finish in a variety of colors. These tumblers aren’t just for morning commutes anymore (although they do fit in car cup holders!), but can be great for hikes, walks on the beach or long days at sports tournaments.
Vegan Leather Card Wallet
This slim card wallet can fit in any belt bag, purse or backpack. It is made with high-end, crosshatch vegan leather and printed in custom full-color designs, so can easily match your colors and branding. The size and weight also make it a great piece to hand out or mail.
Swedish Dishcloth
Swedish dishcloths have become very popular and are now available in the promo market! They are made from 100% plant-based fibers (70% Cellulose / 30% Cotton), making this item eco-friendly and biodegradable. These reusable dishcloths are machine-washable and they air dry quickly. A full-color imprint is printed with water-based inks on 100% natural plant fibers. This item is also very light, so easy to mail!
