Dear colleges and universities: Don't underestimate your students' parents as part of your promotional marketing! Many proud parents love swag like decals and apparel representing their child's college. Below you'll find a handful of products that can all be branded with your school's logo that parents will love.
Trends to keep in mind when selecting promos for parents
- Golf Accessories. Dads especially tend to gravitate toward golf-related promos, such as custom logo'd golf balls.
- Car Accessories. Bumper stickers, window decals, and magnets are just a few branded car accessories that parents love.
