Look down any street and you can tell right away – we’re in the middle of an election season, and signs are everywhere. Aside from these classic campaign tools, there’s another tried-and-true way to share your platform with your community: thoughtfully chosen campaign merchandise. These types of products can help you:
- Give supporters an avenue to share your message with their friends and family.
- Showcase your values and platform in the community, boosting your reputation.
- Get people excited about who you are and what you have to offer.
For these reasons, something as simple as a T-shirt is actually much more than that – it’s part of your overall campaign strategy. And choosing the right campaign merchandise makes a difference. You‘re looking for quality, cost-effectiveness and, perhaps most of all, great design.
You invest time and money in your campaign, so make sure you are using those resources in the most effective way possible. Here are some product ideas to consider this election season.
Buttons and Pins
Let supporters share their support through a classic campaign staple – buttons and pins! These are fun to wear, easy to share and cost-effective when working with a smaller budget. You can even create a few different designs or messages for people to choose from at events.
- 3″ Round Button 100% Made in USA.
- Enamel Filled Lapel Pin Hand-plated and hand-polished.
- Full Color Rectangle Button With a high-gloss and elegant finish.
T-Shirts and Apparel
With apparel items, your supporters can wear their support for the cause in their everyday life. In addition to classic shirts, hats and tank tops are also popular and great for warmer climates. Choose pieces made of soft and sturdy material that won’t stretch or fade with time.
- Bella and Canvas – 3001 Unisex Cotton T-Shirt
- Port and Company – CP77 Brushed Twill Low Profile Cap
- Bella and Canvas – 6488 Relaxed Jersey Tank
Bumper Stickers, Stickers and Magnets
If you have a great campaign logo or design, don’t let it go to waste. Showcase it with bumper stickers, magnets and vinyl stickers. These are often a big hit with younger audiences who like to stick them on laptops, notebooks and water bottles.
- Rectangle Car and Truck Magnet Full-color design.
- “CustomCut™” Full-Color Custom Shape Removable Vinyl Stickers Water resistant and removable for up to one year.
Bags and Tote Bags
If there’s one thing about tote bags, it’s that they’re universally useful. The more your supporters use your product, the more they are getting your name and message out there. You could say great campaign branding is in the bag.
- 12 Oz. Cotton Canvas Zippered Boat Tote Features a large zippered main compartment.
- 11.5 Oz. Portland Button-Up Canvas Tote Bag Features a tighter weave construction, making it more durable.
- The Coliseum Stadium Drawstring Bag Clear plastic material with bright and eye-catching trim
Phone Grips and PopSockets
Phone grips are another great product for younger audiences (including college students), useful for a variety of devices from phones to e-readers and other tech. These are a great campaign merchandise choice for distributing at a community event.
- PopSockets® Pop Grip Original phone stand and phone grip.
- PopSockets® Pop Slide Easily slides up and down for best placement.
- PopSockets® Pop for MagSafe Magnetizes to a MagSafe compatible device.
Winning Campaign Merchandise
When it comes to finding the best political campaign merchandise, it’s all about the brand messaging and design. Mass ordering generic products will only get you so far when your investment (and precious resources) is forgotten or thrown away. Instead, invest in high-quality, thoughtfully chosen products that reach your desired audience and keep their attention.
