The Top 10 Healthcare Promotional Items

April 9, 2021

The use of promotional products for your business or organization can have impressive and lasting results on your customer retention and brand visibility! As the pandemic continues, medical practices and services are out in full force, helping keep us all healthy and safe. Promotional items, especially when branded with your logo, not only help boost your customer’s and client’s engagement with your brand but depending on the types of products you’re handing out, can also help your brand be seen by potential new customers. We’ve put together our top 10 most popular healthcare promotional items to hand out to clients, patients, and frontline workers to really boost your long-term impact on the consumer market!

The Impact of Branded Promotional Items 

In one of our previous blogs, we went into detail about a few of the reasons that promotional items for swag kits were a great brand visibility strategy for your business. From brand recognition and sponsor awareness to reciprocity through networking, utilizing fun and practical promotional items has a lasting and compelling impact on a variety of demographics. 

Brand visibility is key for business growth; being active on social media, through direct mail campaigns, via email newsletters or marketing efforts and/or with IP targeted ad campaigns – basically anytime a potential customer comes in contact with your brand it’s important for your ultimate success. We call each of these engagements “touchpoints”, and the more your target audience comes in contact, or sees your brand in any of these capacities, the closer it brings them to engaging with your business. Ultimately, pulling new contacts into your sales and marketing funnel is the ultimate end. 

As the pandemic continues to impact so many aspects of our day-to-day lives, the focus on branded healthcare-related promotional items serves multiple functions. Not only does your business or organization benefit from the value of these items, you’ll also be providing customers, donors, and potential vendors or sponsors with items they can actually use!

ProList’s Top 10 Healthcare Promotional Items

We’ve put together our top 10 favorite promotional items for healthcare workers and the healthcare industry to give you some inspiration for your next round of swag. The ProList team can help you source any of these quality items, and we’ll help you decide just how much (or how little) branding you’d like to do when stocking up!

1. Custom face masks – ProList can help you pick from a variety of face mask options. While almost everyone has one, there’s always the need and use for another. By having your logo strategically and creatively added on a mask, it’s a literal walking billboard!
2. Stress balls – Things are stressful these days! Stress balls are a great fidget item to have on every work desk. They’re inexpensive and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. We can help you get super creative with your designs.
   

   Branded stress balls are a cost-effective, creative way to get your brand out there. There are a variety of shapes and sizes to choose from, and we think EVERY professional’s desk should have one!

3. Hand Sanitizer – These are in high demand during the pandemic, but they were popular even before. There are tons of options to choose from; from keyring clips to bottles, sanitizer cases, and so much more, this is a great opportunity to get your logo out there.
4. Badge holders and clips – Another great, in-your-face, highly visible healthcare promotional item is badge clips! These are super useful not only for medical workers, but for individuals in a variety of highly visible professional industries who need them on a day-to-day basis. 
5. Drinkware – From travel mugs to water bottles and traditional coffee cups, quality drinkware is a hugely popular and widely varied type of promotional product that gets a ton of use in general. Recently there are even more “on the go” drinkware options than ever before, and at a variety of price points.
6. Clipboards, notepads, and planners – As with all of the items we’ve mentioned thus far, personal office items like planners and notebooks are a huge hit with frontline workers and customers alike. These types of items also tend to get a bit more use and have a longer “shelf life” so to speak as people use them for longer periods of time. 
7. Totes and lunch bags – For any professional on the go, totes and lunch bags are can’t-do-without items! They’re available in many different styles, sizes, colors, and materials with options for subtle or eye-catching graphics, depending on your target audience and branding goals.  Quality totes can take the place of shopping bags at the grocery store, enhancing their usefulness, and they’re washable.
   

   Travel drinkware is a great promotional item that gets a lot of use! Providing branded travel mugs to clients and staff that gets your brand out and about is a great way to up your visibility.

8. Pill bottle accessories – For medical offices, pill bottle openers and pill cases are a must. Elderly patients tend to need them on a frequent basis, and they’ll most likely end up in a variety of places in their homes, with their caregivers, family members, etc. 
9. Heating and ice packs – Whether you work in the medical industry or not, everyone should have hot and cold packs in their homes! These are a super practical swag product, and one that will no doubt get used, even if it’s not as often as some of our other favorites. 

Of course, the list of ideas we have for promotional items is endless, and these items may not fit every business’s brand or voice.
