Some of the best branded merchandise isn’t something you wear or carry. It’s something that gets people to interact.
Promotional games give customers, employees, and event guests a reason to stop, play, and spend more time with your brand. They can break the ice at company events, draw people to your trade show booth, entertain at tailgates, or add friendly competition to employee appreciation days.
Many branded games can be used over and over, so their value lasts long after a single event.
If you want a more interactive promotional product, here are 10 games to consider.
Bean Bag Toss Game
Bean bag toss games are popular at tailgates, backyard parties, and outdoor events because they’re easy to learn, encourage friendly competition, and keep people engaged.
You can customize the boards and bean bags with your logo, company colors, or event graphics to create a branded experience. Use this game at corporate picnics, college events, tailgates, community festivals, employee appreciation days, or customer events.
Kan Jam Flying Disc Game
A branded flying disc game gets your audience moving.
Kan Jam is a natural fit for outdoor events where you want to encourage attendees to get involved rather than simply watch from the sidelines. Set it up at a company picnic, beach event, campground, college orientation, tailgate, or team-building day.
It’s also a fun choice for employee recreation areas or corporate retreats. Adding your branding turns every game into a new chance for visibility.
Giant Branded Dominoes
Turn a classic game into something everyone will notice.
Giant dominoes can quickly become a centerpiece at indoor or outdoor events, encouraging attendees to gather around and play. They’re ideal for corporate retreats, employee events, hospitality spaces, college campuses, community festivals, and team-building activities.
A custom set also makes a memorable gift for clients or employees, especially if you want to give something they can enjoy with friends and family.
Custom Playing Cards
Classic games are popular for a reason.
Custom playing cards are compact, affordable, and offer plenty of opportunities for creative branding. Put your logo on the back of each card, customize the box, or go further by creating custom faces and graphics that tie into your organization or campaign.
They’re great additions to conference welcome bags, hotel rooms, employee gifts, travel kits, company retreats, and customer appreciation packages.
Since a deck can be used for many different games, your brand will be seen at game nights again and again.
Virtual Reality Viewer
If you want to surprise your audience, bring your brand into the virtual world.
A branded virtual reality viewer can turn compatible smartphone content into an interactive experience, making it an interesting option for organizations looking to showcase digital content.
Real estate companies could offer virtual property tours. Travel organizations could introduce customers to destinations. Colleges could provide virtual campus experiences. Museums, attractions, and event organizers could use them to bring digital experiences to life.
Instead of just handing out another product, you’re offering a new way for people to experience your message.
Desktop Foosball
A little friendly competition can make the workday more interesting.
Desktop foosball brings the fun of a game room to a desk, break room, conference room, or employee lounge without requiring a full-size table. It’s an entertaining employee gift and a great addition to office wellness programs, team-building activities, recruiting events, or company celebrations.
You can organize an office tournament and use branded prizes to make the competition even more exciting.
Practice Putting Cup
Sometimes you need a quick break from the computer.
A practice putting cup gives employees and customers an easy way to take a quick break while testing their golf skills. It’s an especially fitting promotional product for golf tournaments, financial organizations, insurance companies, real estate businesses, country clubs, and corporate offices.
Use it as an employee gift, tournament prize, client appreciation item, or office activity. You can also set up a putting challenge at a trade show and give prizes to attendees who make their shot.
Custom Pong Balls
It’s a small product with lots of possibilities.
Custom pong balls are an affordable way to add your branding to games and events. Hand them out at college events, company parties, tailgates, fundraisers, trade shows, or community gatherings, or pair them with paddles and a portable table tennis set for a more complete gift.
They can also work as event keepsakes or inexpensive additions to swag bags.
Since they’re compact and affordable, they’re a fun choice when you need merchandise for a large group.
Plinko
If you want people to stop at your booth, give them something to do.
A custom Plinko board turns a regular giveaway into a game. Attendees drop a puck to see which prize, discount, or offer they get. This builds excitement and gives your team an easy way to start a conversation.
Use a Plinko board at trade shows, recruiting events, grand openings, fundraisers, sales meetings, or company celebrations. You can change the prizes for each event, so the same branded board becomes a reusable part of your event marketing.
Tumbling Tower Set
Watching a tower wobble as someone pulls out the next block creates real suspense.
A branded tumbling tower is a natural icebreaker for company picnics, customer appreciation events, breweries, resorts, conferences, college campuses, and team-building activities. Choose a tabletop version for smaller spaces or go big with an oversized set for outdoor events.
You can customize the blocks with your logo or add questions, challenges, or conversation starters to make the game more personal.
Make Your Brand Part of the Experience
Branded merchandise doesn’t have to be something you just hand out as people leave.
Games give people a reason to interact with your organization right away. They can turn a trade show giveaway into an experience, make a company event more memorable, or just give employees and customers a chance to have fun.
When you can pack up the game and bring it to your next event, your investment keeps working for you.
