Walking into the 2024 New Product Expo last week was like entering a treasure trove of the future’s most promising branded merchandise for trade shows and corporate gifts. As we look ahead into 2024, the world of corporate branding and trade show swag is buzzing with innovation, creativity, and a keen focus on sustainability. This year’s expo unveiled a fascinating array of exciting new products that are set to revolutionize how businesses engage at trade shows, reward employees, and thank clients. From tech gadgets that seamlessly blend functionality with style, to eco-friendly items that speak volumes of a brand's environmental commitment, the expo was a showcase of not just products, but of emerging trends and ideas. In this post, we’ll dive into the best and most exciting finds, perfect for marketing managers, event planners, and HR professionals seeking to elevate their corporate branding.
First up, we discovered a groundbreaking line in the world of promotional products, where visionary design meets transformative functionality.; the EcoInnovate line. This line isn't just about providing high-quality promotional items; it's about redefining the user experience through innovative and sustainable design. Each product in this series goes beyond its primary function, offering a secondary use that challenges traditional notions in the promotional industry with their second-use packaging. For example, imagine a pair of headphones not just for their sound quality, but for the box they come in, ingeniously transforming into a headphone stand. This line is a celebration of creativity and practicality, an embodiment of an eco-conscious lifestyle where every item tells a story and every package has a purpose beyond its initial use. This line is the most exciting thing to happen in swag in years and we are thrilled about it. Below are some examples from the EcoInnovate line. Please click on the pictures for product details:

Of course The Stanley Cup continues to be the huge drinkware trend. And we would in no way diss that fact. We sent the Stanley Cup to our own clients this past holiday as thank you's. The responses were truly among the best and most excited we have ever received. But we couldn't help but notice how many Owala's we were seeing when out and about. Then we came across this article in NY Magazine, confirming our observations. So we were thrilled to see the Owala entering the promo space at the new product expo. Here is our fav Owala pick:
24 Oz Owala Freesip
If you don't care for The Stanley (you rebel!) or just feel it's played out, we are really high on the Owala for 2024 custom drinkware.
