Corporate clothing vs. promotional items:
What is the difference?
The two are often confused, but they don't serve the same purpose. Here's how to use them intelligently.
Corporate clothing is what your employees and volunteers wear on a daily basis: hoodies, t-shirts, polos, shirts, coats, work clothes, toques, caps , etc.
Their role: to give your team a professional and consistent image, create a sense of belonging, and make your company easily recognizable. They are generally personalized with your logo through embroidery, DTF printing, or screen printing, depending on the type of garment.
Promotional items are the products you offer to your clients, partners or participants: pens, mugs, bottles, reusable bags, notebooks, tech gadgets, corporate gifts , etc.
Their role: to remain present in your customers' daily lives, support your events, and boost your visibility without breaking the bank. It's better to choose useful and durable items than cheap ones that will end up in the trash.
The most effective projects often combine the two: a few well-chosen corporate clothes for your team and 1 or 2 useful promotional items for your clients or events.
