Promotional Hoodies: Company Hoodie Ideas to Promote Your Business

Every year, our customers come back for custom hoodies for their businesses and charity events. Turns out, personalized hoodies are a top choice in our custom business clothes and gifts collection. Why? Because they’re super handy for spreading the word about your brand and getting folks engaged.

When it comes to promoting your business or brand, some awesome custom hoodie ideas include simple cotton ones with your company logo showcasing unique designs or artwork from your team.

Especially when it’s chilly out, handing out a promotional hoodie can warm up customers and potential clients to your brand. Company hoodies are like a special gift that makes people associate your brand with comfort and security. Ian Lecklitner from MEL Magazine says hoodies aren’t just about keeping you warm; they make you feel emotionally cozy, like a weighted blanket. They help release serotonin and dopamine, the happy chemicals in our brain, which is something everyone wants in today’s stressful world.

Hoodies are a hit with the younger crowd, so hosting social media contests with high-quality promotional hoodies as prizes can get the attention of Gen Z. For big events like launching a new product, giving away packs of goodies (including your branded hoodies) can create a buzz and get people talking about your brand.

In the fall and winter months especially, the gift of a promotional hoodie can make customers and sales prospects feel warm and fuzzy about your brand. That’s because company hoodies are a premium gift that will help consumers associate your brand with warmth, comfort, and protection. According to Ian Lecklitner of MEL Magazine, “…hoodies provide more than just physical comfort; they administer emotional comfort, too, similar to that of a weighted blanket. Research shows that weighted blankets — and also hoodies, going by this logic — encourage the release of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitters that make us feel more relaxed, a highly coveted feeling in today’s increasingly panicked world.”

Because hoodies are especially popular with younger consumers, social media contests that give away high-quality promotional hoodies as prizes can influence Gen Z consumers to engage with your brand. Giving away swag packs full of merch (including branded hoodies) is an especially effective way to generate publicity for a product launch.

Custom Eco-Friendly Promotional Hoodies (That Are Ethically Made)

If you’re promoting to a younger crowd, think about giving out cool hoodies with your brand on them. Make sure they’re made in a way that’s good for the environment, like using organic cotton and recycled materials.

Younger shoppers, like Gen Z, like to support brands that care about the environment and do good things. Some popular clothing brands, like Tentree and Allmade, make eco-friendly hoodies that can be customized with your company’s logo or message.

Custom Tie Dye Promotional Hoodies

If your business wants to connect with people through a nostalgic approach, consider custom tie-dye hoodies as a cool promo item. Many folks in the U.S. are into retro-style clothes, making these colorful hoodies with your company logo stand out and give off a cool, old-school vibe.

Custom Dye Promotional Hoodies

Knit hoodies with a special touch! Instead of traditional tie-dye, we have custom-dye-promotional hoodies. They’re made using a cool dyeing process that gives yarns a mix of colors. Just like tie-dye, space-dye hoodies are stylish and trendy. Make it your own by adding an embroidered logo or design (you can choose other decoration methods too).

Custom All Over Print Promotional Hoodies

Imagine hoodies with designs covering everything – even the sleeves and hood! Some have logos or graphics that repeat all over. Cool examples include McDonald’s AM Wrapper Hoodie, shaped like their Egg McMuffin wrapper, and Taco Bell’s waffle taco hoodie.

Customize your all-over print hoodie for a fresh, streetwear-inspired style. It’s a great way to show off your logo or other cool graphics.

Custom Blanket Promotional Hoodies

Here’s a warm and comfy idea for your winter promotions: custom blanket hoodies! They’re like regular hoodies but with the cozy feel of a blanket. Made from soft sherpa fleece, these oversized hoodies are a hit. Big restaurants like Jack in the Box and Dunkin’ even sell their own cozy branded blanket hoodies in the colder months. Perfect for a snug corporate giveaway!

Work Hoodies with Logo

Give a personal touch to work hoodies with your company logo—they make great gifts for employees working outdoors in fall, winter, and spring. For jobs like roadway construction and utility work, hi-vis work hoodies with logos are super useful. They provide a heavy-duty layer for those who need it.

Consider stocking logo work hoodies in your company’s apparel store. Caterpillar Inc., a top construction equipment manufacturer, builds brand loyalty by selling logo workwear, including hoodies, in its online store.

Unique Business Hoodie Ideas

Here are some cool ideas to jazz up your company hoodies:

• Put your mission statement or a powerful message inside the hoodie, keeping the outside logo free.
• Hand out sleeveless and cropped hoodies at summer events and product launches.
• Sell tiny hoodies to keep stuff like Xbox controllers and cans cozy.
• Reward exceptional employees with special designer hoodies, like Hoodies made of gold lamé. It’s a unique way to recognize and appreciate outstanding work!

 

Making your company goodies special and hard to get adds extra value for both employees and customers. People like personalized hoodies made from fancy materials like metallic fabrics or cashmere. It makes them more desirable for both your corporate team and consumers.

Build Your Brand with High-Quality Custom Hoodies

There are lots of options for promotional hoodies! Whether for men, women, or both, you can find them in various sizes, colors, and fabrics like organic cotton, cotton-polyester blends, microfleece, and French terry knit. Some brands even have hoodies for kids and tall sizes.

Both zip-up and pullover hoodies can be customized with your company logo and message. You can have your logo, slogan, or cool design embroidered or printed on the front, back, or sleeves. People love embroidered hoodies because they look extra nice and make great gifts!

Businesses often use brands like Port & Company and Bella + Canvas to make their custom hoodies. These brands offer good-quality, customizable clothes at a reasonable price. You can also customize hoodies from well-known brands like Champion, Nike, and Carhartt.

For comfy and durable premium hoodies, look for features like a front kangaroo pocket, a hood with embroidered grommets and drawstring, rib-knit hem and cuffs, eco-friendly cork drawstring pulls, a zip-through collar, and a lined 3-panel hood. In 2024, popular hoodie styles include retro color block hoodies, boxy hoodies, sporty quarter-zip hoodies, and camo hoodies.
