Watch your sales snowball into an avalanche of profits by adding promotional products to your apparel decoration services. Here are a few ideas for great add-on items to go with your cold-weather gear:
Apparel Type: Hoodies
Add-on: Beanies, earbuds, drawstring bags, water bottles
Beanies (and really any type of cooler-weather wear) make excellent add-ons to hoodie orders. Earbuds are great for relaxing while you’re lounging around in sweats, so these also make an effective complementary product for a hooded sweatshirt. Consider offering a discount on any bundled items to encourage product pairing!
Apparel Type: Quarter-Zips
Add-on: Thermoses, socks, gloves, lanyards
Fleece quarter-zips have become pretty popular for corporations, so try other corporate-friendly items such as thermoses, lanyards or anything people can use and keep at work. Snuggly socks and gloves go great with soft, cozy fleece and provide extra warmth, especially when venturing outside in cold weather.
Apparel Type: Coats & Jackets
Add-on: Mugs, scarves, umbrellas, hand warmers
Winter is all about staying warm, so hot cocoa mugs and scarves are additions that you can count on for any winter coat order. For your sports-centered clients or those operating in the construction field, hand warmers are a valuable add-on. Umbrellas can protect from the elements and make a great gift bundle when paired with coats.
