Promotional Stuffed Animals Types and Styles

Using promotional plush toys to help grow your business

Promo stuffed animals are wonderful to use to get your business' name and logo out into the world. They have a very high perceived value yet are relatively inexpensive, especially if you buy them in bulk.

You can give out promotional stuffed toys at special events or use them as contest prizes. The most important thing is that you include your company's name and logo on them. There are several promotional stuffed animals types and styles you can use, each displaying your logo in a different way. Three of the most popular are:

1. Animals that have the company logo on an article of clothing they're wearing, usually a t-shirt;

2. Corporate plush toys that have the company logo embroidered directly on them;

3. Custom stuffed toys that are designed specifically for a certain company and may represent the logo itself.

 

Check out stuffed animals with logos on their clothing

Promotional stuffed toys that simply have a branded t-shirt or other article of clothing on are usually the least expensive. This is because the manufacturer can produce the animals in bulk and does not have to customize them. This is probably your best option if you have a small advertising budget.
Try: Check out the selection at ePromos. The company has animals with imprinted t-shirts, scarves and even inner tubes. Then go to Garret Specialties' site and check out their animals wearing imprinted vests, ribbons and ties.

Look at stuffed animals with logos directly on them

One problem with animals that have logos only on their clothing is that the clothing is usually removable. When the clothing goes, so does your advertising. If your logo is on the animal itself, you know it will always have your ad on full display.
Try: Go to Ferox's website advertising their Custom Logo Bears. You can have your logo embroidered directly on each beanie bear's belly and even give it a coordinated neck ribbon. Then visit IdentityLinks' stuffed animal pages. All of the animals that are not wearing clothing are available for custom embroidery. This includes fish, birds and even a stuffed playing card with arms and legs.

Consider personalized stuffed animals made exclusively for your company

Some companies choose to go with custom stuffed animals since they want no other organization to have them. In the best case scenario, people will look at these animals from a distance and think immediately of your company, because they are so well-branded and unique. It also helps increase demand for the animals, since people like novel things.
Try: Look at Kool Dawg Tees' website. This company offers a service where it will develop a design concept according to your specifications and then produce custom animals just for your company. Then check out CustomPlushToys operated by Binkley Plush Toys. Binkley offers a similar service. Get quotes from both so you can compare prices. Custom toys do not come cheap, unless you order several thousand.
