Custom Mugs and Glasses

Impress prospective customers and others with a gift that lasts

By Judy Artunian, Freelance Writer
Mugs and glassware make great promotional gifts because they’re as decorative as they are practical. With a multitude of custom mug and glassware designs available, you can easily find a style that will appeal to your target market. Whether your recipients enjoy your gift at home or work, it will always remind them of your company’s generosity.

To get the most out of your custom mugs and glasses, consider:
  1. Your logo doesn’t have to stand alone on the side of a mug or water glass. If there is room, add a tag line or decorative graphic that complements your logo.
  2. Win extra points by hand delivering your gifts whenever possible.
  3. At your next company event, serve drinks in glasses that are imprinted with your company logo.

  • If you can’t decide between a ceramic mug and a plastic mug, ask yourself which one would present your company in the best light.
  • Ask to see samples of the promo mugs and glasses that you’re considering. Holding a mug or glass in your hand is the only way to be sure that it has the look and feel you’re after.
  • Start looking for promo mugs and glasses several months before you need them so that you have plenty of time to shop around for the best quality and price.
