The top 12 back-to-school giveaway ideas:

1. Pencil Cases & Bags

Branded with corporate logos, pencil cases or pouches become a functional accessory that keeps writing tools organised. Students use them daily, which makes them a mobile advertising platform, increasing brand visibility for sponsors. Alternatively, for schools who want to provide their students with personalised school supplies, customised pencil cases and bags with student names are great personalised school gifts to welcome students back.

2. Rulers

Empower students with corporate branded rulers, another practical option for custom school supplies. Essential in classrooms, these rulers not only aid in precision but also showcases the supporting brand, be it a school or a sponsor. By customising rulers with logos, brands enjoy continuous exposure, reaching both students and educators. It’s a subtle yet effective way to make a mark in the academic environment while contributing essential tools to students’ learning journeys.

3. Pens

Improve students’ writing experience with high-quality pens. Branded with school logos or company branding, these pens become an integral part of students’ daily routines. As students use these pens in classrooms, libraries, and beyond, sponsors gain widespread visibility. It’s a great way to help provide necessary supplies to students while promoting brand awareness.

4. Pencils

Along with our selection of pens, The Promo Group also offers a wide range of custom branded pencils to choose from. Essential in every student’s arsenal, sponsors and schools will benefit from continuous brand exposure as students use their branded pencils on a daily basis. This also helps foster a positive association between the brand and the pursuit of knowledge.

5. Highlighters

Illuminate the learning process with branded highlighters. As students use these branded highlighters to emphasise the most crucial information, sponsors can showcase their logos in classrooms and other study spaces. It’s a unique school promo item that aligns with education and leaves a lasting impression on both students and teachers.

6. Sharpeners

Help ensure students are always prepared with branded pencil sharpeners. Another useful necessity that students will use repeatedly during their school career. This is also an item that won’t need to be replaced as often, which means corporate branding on sharpeners allows for consistent visibility and brand reinforcement, while supporting students’ education.

7. Backpacks

Custom branded backpacks are one of the best promotional items for high school students, primary school students and even pre-school students. This is due to the fact that school backpacks are large and offer a lot of space for company logos and corporate or school branding. These backpacks become walking billboards as students commute to and from school, which guarantees widespread exposure for brands.

8. Notebooks

Student notebooks make for the perfect custom branded or personalised school items. They offer a canvas for personal names, school logos or sponsor branding. Whether used for note-taking or creative writing, branded notebooks become a tangible representation of support and encouragement. Companies who give away notebooks gain a unique avenue for promoting their brand.

9. Diaries

Custom branded diaries for schools encourage planning and provide a space for scheduling assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities. Ideal for high school students as part of branded high school swag, it provides organisations with valuable exposure in academic settings. Diaries with school logos, on the other hand, foster a sense of unity and school pride among students.

10. Calculators

Branded with school logos or sponsor branding, custom branded calculators are another valuable back-to-school promo idea for both primary and high school students. Calculators become essential tools for students in math and science classes. As students carry these calculators to classes and exams, sponsors establish a positive connection between their brand and academic support.

11. Memo Pads & Sticky Flags

Facilitate organisation and efficiency with custom branded memo pads and sticky notes as practical school promotional products. Adorned with school logos or sponsor branding, these items become valuable tools in school. As students use these memo pads and sticky flags to mark important pages and jot down notes, brands enjoy continuous visibility in classrooms.

Lunch Boxes

Another item that could be a great high school, primary school or preschool promotion idea is a custom branded lunch box. Regardless of their age, all students need lunch boxes for school. As students carry these branded lunch boxes around school, organisations and sponsors will gain brand exposure right through the year.
