Ease your employees’ commutes with promotional products
Whether they drive a car or take a train, commuting to work every day can drain your employees after a while. In fact, according to a 2010 Gallup poll, 40 percent of workers who take 90 minutes or longer to get from home to work worried a lot the previous day. You might not be able to shorten your employees’ commutes, but you can make the experience a little more bearable for them with the right employee focused promotional products. Here are five promotional items that can ease your employees’ commutes:
Promotional planners
Employees who take the bus or train to work can really make use of promotional planners on the ride in and out. They can jot down ideas for future projects or tasks they have to get done the next day. Doing something productive like this can keep staff members from thinking about how long their commute is.
“You can make commuting more bearable for employees with the right promotional products.”
Branded earbuds
Listening to music on the way to work is relaxing for many people. The right tunes can help your employees unwind and forget about the stresses of everyday life for a bit. If you give them branded earbuds, they can enjoy their favorite music without disturbing other people. Your team members can also use earbuds when they want to block outside noise during their commute.
Promotional backpacks
Employees using public transit will appreciate receiving promotional backpacks. These backpacks are especially useful for people who work for technology companies because they can be used to carry several different technological devices like smartphones, laptops and tablets. Many of these backpacks are made with built-in compartments, so employees can easily organize their notepads and other business-related items. If you want to make these backpacks extra special, print each employee’s name on the back of them.
Protective tablet cases
According to research from eMarketer, more than 1 billion people worldwide will use a tablet in 2015, so it’s likely your employees have one of these devices. They’re light, easy to carry and can provide a lot of entertainment during a long commute. Tablets can also get damaged easily, so consider providing your staff members with protective tablet cases. These covers will allow your employees to use their tablets comfortably without worrying about harming them.
Custom travel mugs
It’s likely at least a handful of your employees like to drink a cup of coffee on their way to work to get energized. Buying coffee from Starbucks every day, however, can get pricey, so offer your staff members custom travel mugs. These mugs will keep your employees’ coffees hot throughout their entire commutes. If you place your logo on the front of the travel mugs, other people who share your employees’ commutes will wonder what your company is all about.
