As the summer sun begins to shine brighter and the outdoors beckon, it's time to gear up for the season of outdoor events, festivals, and gatherings. For businesses looking to leave a lasting impression and enhance brand visibility during these summertime festivities, promotional products and logo apparel are indispensable tools.


  1. Customized Cooling Gear: When the heat is on, keep your brand cool with customized cooling towels, water bottles, or fans. Consider offering branded handheld fans at outdoor concerts or sports events to provide instant relief to attendees. You can also distribute cooling towels with your logo at marathons or charity walks, ensuring participants remember your brand every time they beat the heat.
  2. Beach and Poolside Essentials: For summer events near water bodies, capitalize on the beach and poolside theme with branded merchandise. Think colorful beach balls, sunscreen bottles, or waterproof phone pouches—all bearing your company logo. These items not only enhance the event experience but also serve as practical giveaways that will be used long after the event, keeping your brand at the forefront of customers' minds.
  3. Sun Protection Swag: Help your audience stay safe in the sun while promoting your brand with sun protection products. Branded sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen packets are not only thoughtful gifts but also powerful marketing tools. Attendees will appreciate the gesture and carry your logo wherever they go, whether it's a beach day, a music festival, or a company picnic.
  4. Outdoor Dining Accessories: Summer is synonymous with outdoor dining, making it the perfect opportunity to showcase your brand on picnic blankets, insulated cooler bags, or reusable water bottles. Whether sponsoring a community barbecue or hosting a company picnic, providing branded outdoor dining accessories adds a touch of style while increasing brand visibility in a relaxed, social setting.
  5. Active Lifestyle Gear: With people embracing outdoor activities and fitness routines during the summer, consider promotional products that cater to an active lifestyle. From moisture-wicking performance shirts to yoga mats or fitness trackers, there's a myriad of options to align your brand with health and wellness. These items not only promote your brand during outdoor events but also resonate with health-conscious consumers long after summer fades.


Summer events present a golden opportunity to elevate your brand visibility and leave a lasting impression on your target audience. By leveraging promotional products and logo apparel creatively, you can engage with customers in a meaningful way while reinforcing brand recall. IMS Branded Solutions offers a diverse range of customizable merchandise to help you make the most of your summer marketing initiatives. Seize the season, and let your brand shine under the summer sun!
