Written by Taliah Oosterdijk | 6 November 2024

When it comes to gift with purchase (GWP) or promotional giveaway strategies, many brands often tread familiar ground—think pens, notepads or keychains. But, dear reader, let me guide you into the cozy, colorful world of socks. Yes, socks! They’re not just for keeping your feet warm; they can also warm your brand’s relationship with customers. Novelli, a leading name in creative, branded merchandise, continues to hit the jackpot by helping big brands incorporate socks into their promotional activities.

 

Why socks might be a great fit for your brand;

- Universal appeal. Unlike many promotional items, everyone wears socks.  They are a practical item and they’re an essential part of our daily attire.  Their universal appeal ensures that they cater to a wide audience, increasing the likelihood of customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

- Versatility.  Socks come in an endless variety of styles, colours, and materials—an ideal canvas for showcasing your brand’s personality. Imagine the delight of your customers when they receive a pair of quirky, eye-catching socks that they can wear with pride. That’s not just a gift; that’s an experience.  

 - Businesses can create a memorable and tangible connection with their customers.

- Socks are lightweight, easy to package and include with other products, making them a cost-effective choice for shipping and distribution.

- Offering socks as a GWP can also encourage repeat purchases, as customers may be eager to collect different styles or designs, further boosting the promotion's success.

 - In a time when sustainability is more than just a buzzword, socks made from eco-friendly materials can also highlight your brand’s commitment to the environment.
