Custom Plush Animals Bring Your Logo to Life

Can a stuffed animal help build your brand? Yes! Stuffed animals are an excellent promotional product to help you advertise your company. In the promotional trade, we call stuffed animals "plush" attributed to the soft construction. Plush animals can convey your message in friendly and effective way.

Here are six of the reason to consider plush as part of your marketing mix:

1. Broad Appeal: This product reaches across all ages, demographics and industries. They are fun for adults or to take home to kids, too.

2. Interactive: Plush promo products connect on a an emotional level. They make you smile. You put them on your desk to personalize your space.

3. Creative: You can get as creative as you want when selecting a plush to promote your business. Use the plush to create or promote a slogan, i.e., You can re-Lion on our great service. It adds a playfulness to your company image.

4. High perceived value. People think this is a valuable or expensive giveaway but there are many inexpensive options that make your company look generous.

5. Small product with a big impact. Small, plush animals are easy to carry home from trade shows and make great gifts for the kids. Does your company have a mascot? A funny slogan? Get a custom plush made to promote it.

6. Unique. A custom plush character sets your company apart from its competitors.

But most importantly, we love the creative ways companies use plush to build engagement with their brand. How have companies used plush animals?
