Face Masks Are the New Corporate Swag

Face Masks Are the New Corporate Swag

If someone told us a year ago that face masks would be the top requested swag item, we would have laughed. But it’s true: the face mask has become the new corporate swag no one saw coming. While the world experiences uncertainty, a consistent theme for business owners and managers has been communicating the right message. How can we keep our employees safe? How do we show clients we care?  Sending employees and clients a branded face mask with a thoughtful note and supportive swag really hit that sentiment. 

Why are clients gifting face masks?

When Covid-19 first hit, SwagUp wasn’t promoting face masks. In fact, we were probably the last company to promote or even offer it without a client asking. Was it odd to send someone a face mask? What if it sent the wrong message? But then we spoke with our clients and saw the reason behind why they were requesting face masks in the first place. We realized it’s a thoughtful way to tell employees and clients you care and that we are all in this together. 
Our clients saw value in providing face masks to employees to let them know to stay safe. Actions speak louder than words, and this gesture said, We are thinking of you and we are here for you.

For companies that were deemed essential, they knew they wanted to ensure employees had proper face coverings but could still enjoy some team spirit and corporate branding. Other companies wanted to provide a branded facial mask for employees returning to the office safely. No one could have guessed it, but it’s safe to say that the face mask is now the new staple swag and most requested swag item.
