Retro-Style Promotional Products

Rather than looking ahead to the latest and greatest new promotional products for the coming year, consider some throwback, retro-looking items to promote your brand. Whether it’s an upcoming company anniversary where you want to celebrate the good old days or tap into the “cool factor” of days gone by, here are some retro promotional product ideas to consider for today’s marketing.


How fun is this retro-style phone handset that you can use with your smartphone? This "blast from the past" branded accessory is available in 10 cool colors. The handset still let's you use the smartphone screen for navigation.





Oval Coin Holder
Remember these? Since 1951, the original, classic Quikoin coin holder remains recognized around the world. It was even selected as one of five Products of the Century by the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI). This coin holder is a classic branding platform that will trigger memories. It's a fun branding tool to target baby boomers and even generation X clients. Your customers will appreciate you bringing these old coin holders back.

 


Weepuls!
Remember those little pom characters? Well, they have been updated with the capacity for a full-color digital imprint on the ribbon, but the fun factor remains the same. Use either the original standard style or choose one of the different vocations or animal Weepuls. These little guys are a perfect tie-in for a trade show booth—attach them to attendees' name badges for an attention getting promotion. They are fun, inexpensive and can help create some buzz so call me for pricing today.





Fleece Letterman Jackets
The old wool and leather letterman jackets are all the rage again. Only they've taken the traditional letterman jacket and reworked it in warm comfortable fleece for a winning look. It comes in a variety of colors to compliment your logo. It would be buzz-worthy to see a retro-themed trade show booth with all of your salespeople wearing these jackets!



Conversation Candy Hearts
Little bags with big flavor! Tell your customers, prospects and employees that you love them with this guaranteed crowd pleaser. These candy conversation hearts are a great giveaway for trade shows and promotional events. Pick a different bag color for added flair. Bag colors include white, silver, or gold.


This baseball jersey bats a thousand with its vintage look and durable construction. Again, these would be attention grabbing as "uniforms" for the sales and marketing people working your trade show booth. 



Reminiscent of a vintage instrument panel, featuring black metal and wood construction, this desk caddy includes a clock, thermometer, hygrometer and covered storage. This is an executive or customer gift to be proudly displayed. Since you can engrave three lines of text on the front plate, it would also make a nice Speakers Gift or Employee Reward.

If you want even more ideas for retro-style promotional products or want information on pricing for these items, just give me a call at 847-398-5500 or send me an email at dona.blunt@newportpros.com.

  1. I think these would be perfect for a promotional campaign. It will work for both young and old people: Older people who still remember these stuff will feel nostalgic, while younger people will be intrigued by something they have heard of but have not really seen in their own lives. Once you have their interest, it is easier to convert them into customers.
