So, what are the top promotional products in 2024 set to be?
1) A sustainable selection
Customers in Australia and around the globe are becoming increasingly conscious of our environmental impact, and rightly so. The sustainability movement is here and here to stay, so opting for eco-friendly, brandable products is a great way to keep both the planet and your network happy. Here are a few of our top eco-conscious picks…
Tote Bags
Of all the promotional products across the land, tote bags are a top-selling category, and we can’t see them going anywhere anytime soon. Many of us bring our tote bags to the local supermarket to take our groceries home or even in place of a day-to-day handbag, so it makes tote-al sense to add this product to your branded mix.
Reusable coffee cups
Australians and coffee go together like Tom and Jerry, and coffee cups are always in high demand. So next time someone calls a coffee run at the office, make sure your brand sees the light of day while sparing the world from its disposable counterpart.
Drink Water Bottles
Aussies may still be using single-use plastic water bottles throughout 2024, but here’s one way your brand can help change that. Water Bottles are a practical, versatile, and cost-effective way to promote your brand while showcasing your commitment to sustainability.

2) Tech’s time to shine
Tech merch is on the rise; think the likes of power banks, phone accessories, and USB drives. The reach of tech products is widespread, and a good wireless product, in particular, will never go a miss. So, without further ado, here are top tech picks for brands that want to showcase their image through convenient and practical branded gadgets.
USB Flash Drives
Put your name on this ever-handy portable storage solution. From credit card-style drives to sustainable bamboo USB sticks, bolster your brand recognition with this innately practical tech gadget.
Power Banks & Chargers
These days, we’re mostly all connected to our phones, meaning chargers and power bank products hold exceptional value. So next time your clients and team are out and about, let your power bank save the day, week after week, year after year.
Wireless speakers
From compact solo units to multi-speaker sets, let your team and clients thank you for the music as they play their favourite beats from your branded speakers. Available in many shapes and colours, the wireless speaker is a great choice for brands who want to be seen and heard.

3) Differentiation requires a difference
If you want to stand out from the crowd, then it’s time to explore made-to-order merch. Bespoke branded products will help you distinguish yourself from your competitors and create a lasting, memorable impression, and you may even find yourself ahead of the curve. When we say made-to-order, we’re talking about complete customisation with one-of-a-kind, bespoke products. We’ll realise ideas to your specifications and build your products from scratch for maximum impact.
Custom Hat & Caps
Keep your team and clients cosy in the winter winds and safe in the summer sun with our range of caps and hats. From beanies with pom poms to washed cotton caps, you can bring bucket-loads of creativity to our custom hats and caps range.
Custom Socks
Socks are universally used by (almost) everyone, making them a highly functional addition to any great brandable product collection. Pair them with a truly unique design by weaving in your brand colours, adding embroidery, or even putting your face on them if you’re so inclined.
Custom Umbrellas
In terms of available real estate on branded products, you can’t look past the umbrella. Our country is no stranger to rain, so keep your clients and team covered and your brand visible with a custom umbrella.
