Back to School Month Promo Items (August)

Pens, pencils, rulers, notebooks. It takes a lot of supplies to make sure that the knowledge that's handed down from the teacher stays in students' heads! August is National Back to School Month, when students of all ages say goodbye to the carefree days of summer and hello to the study-intensive days of fall. It's bittersweet for many, even for the young students who haven't yet learned what "bittersweet" means. Promotional products, however, can do a lot to sweeten the bitter part of that word for everyone.

To get all those supplies that students need for school, parents and guardians will probably spend a bit of time during Back to School month at the local shopping center. Retailers can invest in all sorts of promotional products that complement customers' purchases and make students' life at school easier. Instead of placing purchased items in a bag, why not send them home in reusable tote bags or drawstring backpacks? Notice that customers are buying a lot of pens, pencils, and highlighters? Try offering them customized pencil cases and pouches for storage.

While promotional products can earn retailers a lot of goodwill, they can also go a long way in establishing ties between a school and a student's family. Throughout Back to School Month, many schools hold open houses, days when students and family members can visit a school, get a glimpse at the facilities, and meet the teachers. Magnets, erasers, and bookmarks make excellent gifts for school officials to hand out during open house nights to welcome students to the institution. Calendars and calendars are especially good for helping parents and kids remember important dates, including the dates the students look forward to: the days off.

Community groups can get involved in Back to School Month as well. Youth groups can make giveaways out of many of our promotional items; businesses can even provide youth groups with branded items as a charitable gesture towards the community. Churches, libraries, and other non-profits organizations can all make their name known by distributing small supplies like pens that students will need. Local government offices can encourage students in nearby districts to attend school by offering either supplies or more enjoyable items, like book stress toys and apple stress balls.

As a promotional products company, Quality Logo Products understands the importance of having supplies around. We're pretty much in the business of offering tangible goods that help companies grow. Your company or organization can help grow young minds by promoting Back to School Month with QLP's promotional items. Don't be late for the start of school--call us today!
