Why Choose Plastic Mugs as a Promotional Product?

Plastic mugs have a long use life, with many people using the same mugs in offices for years, meaning your company logo will get exposure every time someone has a hot drink, which is multiple times a day.

People associate positive feelings with hot drinks, so if your branding is front and centre during that time, those feelings are associated with your company.

Plastic mugs are a cheaper alternative to ceramic mugs, meaning you can get a lot more branded merchandise for the price, which is great for budget campaigns.

They’re not just used in the office either, with many people choosing to use reusable travel mugs for coffee instead of takeaway mugs, another example of daily use merchandise that helps to promote your company.

Another benefit of choosing plastic mugs is that they don’t chip, and they’re very strong. This means that the risk of a customer or staff member breaking the mug and replacing it is low, ensuring that your branded merchandise will get the maximum exposure possible. It also makes them more suitable for children or outdoor settings.

Who Should Choose Custom Plastic Mugs?

If you want to use mugs in lightweight giveaways, then given the average weight of a plastic mug is around 0.08kg, they make a great choice for that scenario.

If you’re looking to target the commuting demographic, particularly in London, then a plastic travel mug could work very well, as it’s an item they have a high chance of using.

If you’re an independent coffee retailer or cafe, then having your own branded mugs gives you a great opportunity to help create a unique atmosphere in your outlets. By selling your own branded merchandise in store, you can help to encourage brand advocacy and also offer discounts on those who use their reusable cups.

One of the big benefits of a recycled plastic mug, as opposed to using paper cups, is that they’re reusable. This means they aren’t creating unnecessary waste, as even though paper does decompose, the transportation and storage of that waste still has an impact on the environment. This is excellent for companies looking to increase awareness around environmental issues, and improve corporate social responsibility.
