6 Things to Consider When Selecting a Promotional Hand Sanitizer
Remember when hand sanitizer was something we rarely thought about? We all had a bottle tucked away at the bottom of our purse or hidden in our car, only using it in emergencies.
Well, things have changed.
According to Statista, hand sanitizer sales have jumped by 80% in the past year. And this demand isn’t going away anytime soon. As more people understand the importance of regular hand sanitizing, the market is expected to grow by 22.6% over the next seven years.
Hand sanitizer sales have jumped by 80% in the past year. Here are 6 things to keep in mind when choosing a promotional hand sanitizer.
The growing focus on sanitation has made promotional hand sanitizers a hit for many businesses. With cold and flu season approaching, investing in them is even smarter.
However, with so many options out there, choosing the right one for your business and customers can be tough. To help you out, we’ve put together a guide on the key factors to consider when selecting a promotional hand sanitizer.
1. Choose FDA Compliant Hand Sanitizers
During the pandemic, there have been some issues with hand sanitizers. As demand skyrocketed, the FDA allowed new manufacturers to enter the market, which unfortunately led to some ineffective products being sold. More recently, over 80 types of hand sanitizers were recalled due to methanol contamination.
Now, it’s more important than ever to check the ingredients in the promotional hand sanitizers you choose. The CDC recommends that hand sanitizers contain at least 60% alcohol to be effective. All the products we offer have between 60-70% alcohol, so you can be confident you’re investing in safe and effective promotional hand sanitizers.
2. Consider Hand Sanitizers that Don’t Dry Out Skin
One common complaint about hand sanitizers is how they can leave your skin feeling rough and dry due to the high alcohol content. To avoid this, you can choose promotional hand sanitizers that contain aloe vera, a natural ingredient that keeps skin soft and moisturized even with all that alcohol.
Customers and prospects will notice the difference with aloe vera-based sanitizers. This positive experience can lead to better brand association and promote customer loyalty.
This gel-bottled promotional hand sanitizer is one of our top aloe vera-based products. It contains 70% ethanol to ensure it’s effective. The 2-ounce bottle is compact, fitting easily into small pockets and purses. The clear bottle features a full-color label where you can display your brand name, logo, event title, or any marketing message you choose. You can select either an unscented or a warm vanilla scent.
3. Opt for Specialty Hand Sanitizers
Another common complaint about hand sanitizers is their strong smell. Just because they contain a lot of alcohol doesn’t mean they have to make you smell like a hospital. Many products offer an effective formula combined with pleasant scents that mask the alcohol smell.
Consider choosing this antibacterial hand sanitizing gel for a more enjoyable experience for your customers or prospects.
It comes in two refreshing scents: tropical coconut or citrus breeze. You can choose from five different colors green, orange, royal blue, black, or clear. The 1-ounce bottle has an adjustable silicone loop that clips easily onto any purse, belt, or backpack for convenient travel. With 70% alcohol per volume, it kills 99.9% of bacteria and germs. Plus, it has an ingredient label on the back to ease any concerns.
Customize this promotional hand sanitizer with a full-color imprint of your logo. Your brand will look professional on the clear bottle, keeping your company top-of-mind for users.
4. Choose Easy to Carry Hand Sanitizers
Hand sanitizer is a must-have on the go. The best products are portable and easy to carry. Many now come with clips, attachments, and creative designs for even easier transport. Choose a promotional hand sanitizer with these features for maximum convenience.
This clear sanitizer with a carabiner is a great option. It holds 1.9 ounces of 70% alcohol solution and can easily clip onto a bag or purse. End-users can say goodbye to fumbling around inside a large bag or backpack.
