THE VERY BEST Uses of Personalised Hoodies
T-shirts? Trousers? Hats? Oh my! With so many several types of clothing available, a small business start-up or even a corporation thinking about its next marketing campaign could find it difficult choosing what promotional and personalised clothing will be suitable to represent their business.
If you’re in the mood for something different – or perhaps your organization offers something just a little different itself – then consider the hoodie… Custom printed and personalised hoodies already have many great uses in the wider world, such as:
Higher education – Hoodies have become popular with students of universites and colleges, branded with their institute’s colours and logo. A university society or business selling to students may want to consider a personalised hoodie for his or her own purposes, either because of their team/staff to wear or to sell to their customers.
Exercise – Some people prefer to exercise in hoodies, particularly in winter or in colder climates in which a t-shirt is simply not enough. Gyms and fitness trainers might prosper in providing branded hoodies to their clients, to allow them to wear both in and out of training.
Music – Hip-hop and grunge music are synonymous with the hoodie. Many bands and musicians sell personalised hoodies as part of their merchandising efforts. Therefore, it would make sense for an organization in the music industry to obtain in on the act. Perhaps Bad Bunny Merch or perhaps a record store should think about selling their very own promotional hoodies?
Since they have grown to be popular only a few short years ago, hoodies have represented defiance, non-conformity and generally a way to stick out from the crowd and away from the norm. While they could not suit all business and ventures, a personalised hoodie might be the perfect choice for a business that itself offers something that is clearly a little bit different.
Unfortunately, however, it should be noted that in a few countries and cultures, the hoodie is frowned upon and connected with negative connotations. The hoodie provides anonymity of the person, and therefore someone with criminal intent may put them on to conceal their identities from police, security staff and CCTV cameras. With this in mind, it must be remembered that personalised hoodies are only appropriate in certain situations and circumstances and could not be at all appropriate when worn using places. Then again, feel free to use this to your advantage: a hoodie may be perfect for a guerrilla advertising campaign or during an outrageous, over-the-top publicity stunt.
