We saw a lot of new apparel styles in Vegas in January, from new brands entering the branded promo space to new styles from some of our favorites. We’ve picked our favorites to share with you. But first, let’s talk a little about why branded apparel.

Year after year, apparel ranks amongst the top promotional products with consumers. From t-shirts to workwear, more and more companies are embracing the idea of using branded apparel for their team, customer appreciation, and giveaways. Custom apparel is a powerful branding tool. There are a variety of reasons companies ultimately choose branded apparel; a few include:

  • Brand Recognition: The more your brand is out in the wild, the easier it is to attract and retain customers.
  • Cost Effective Marketing: Maximizing your budget
  • Increased Exposure: You give an employee or client a nice piece of apparel. They wear it; others see it, like it, and want it too. As a result, you just increased the number of people interested in your business.
  • Employee and customer loyalty: Odds are when you give apparel, it’ll be worn many times, providing value to your employee or customer. The longer your brand is a part of their life in some way, the longer your relationship lasts.
  • People like them! Branded merch + apparel should be wantable, keepable, usable, stealable, and bragable. Apparel quickly checks those boxes.

Without further ado, here are our picks.
