If you’re thinking about getting some custom AirTags as a business giveaway, then you might be wondering how much they will increase your company’s brand awareness. After all, you know that people can use AirTags to find lost car keys, but what about some more creative options for where to put AirTags?

What Are Airtags & How Do They Work?

If you’re not sure how your recipients can make use of AirTags, here are six creative AirTag uses that every Apple user should know:

Keep tabs on bags and luggage.

Keeping track of purses, backpacks, luggage, and duffel bags is one of the most popular uses for AirTags. This is especially helpful for business travelers, who frequently travel with company property and other important objects they need to keep tabs on at all times. For safety, we recommend attaching an AirTag silicone luggage tag or leather Airtag loop on the inside of your bag, ideally inside a zip pocket that you can close securely. That way the custom AirTag will remain in your bag even if it comes loose, and it makes it harder for other people to remove the AirTag.

Find your keys or wallet.

Keys and wallets are two small yet utterly essential items that frequently go missing, which is why using an custom AirTag to track them is an excellent idea. Keys are pretty simple to track: Simply put the AirTag in a custom leather case and then attach it to the keys. For the wallet, we recommend zipping the AirTag into the coin pocket so that it can’t accidentally slide out of the card holders. Your recipients will never have to waste precious minutes on a workday morning again while they scramble for their keys or wallet, and they will think of your company every time they grab these daily essentials.

Track a runaway pet.

Losing your dog or cat is a nerve-wracking experience, and while microchips can help them be returned if someone else finds your pet, they’re not much help while the animals are still wandering free. Enter custom AirTag collars, which will allow your recipients to follow their location on your phone if your dog or cat wanders in range of another iPhone. And if you get the AirTag customized at iPromo, the detailed engraving can include your contact information in case their dog gets found by someone without an iPhone. Your recipients will never forget that your custom AirTag helped to bring their beloved Fluffy home safely.

Track down a lost child.

AirTags, while designed to track items, can double as a safety net for parents in specific scenarios. At crowded events, attaching one to your child’s backpack might offer reassurance, letting you locate them swiftly if they stray.

That said, these gadgets aren’t a substitute for vigilance. Keep your eyes peeled, especially in bustling or new places. AirTags can complement your efforts but shouldn’t shoulder the full weight of safeguarding your child.

Locate an elderly loved one with Dementia.

If your recipients have elderly parents or grandparents, they may also wander off without telling anyone where they are going, especially if they are experiencing dementia. Many older people also forget to take their phones with them when they wander, meaning that finding them via Family Sharing or Find My Location isn’t possible. If your giveaway recipients have family, outfitting the children or elderly loved ones with AirTag bracelets or AirTag shoes can help them pinpoint their location and bring them home faster.

Locate a bike or scooter.

You may have seen a news story — or read the original epic Twitter thread — about the New York City man who used AirTags to track down his stolen e-scooter last year. The key is to place the AirTag in a secure sticky mount in a hidden part of the scooter or bike, such as under the seat. (Some people even go the extra mile and use two AirTags in case would-be thieves find the first, more obvious one.) Your recipients will never forget that your custom AirTags helped them find their lost bike or scooter, building great goodwill for your company.

Pinpoint your parked car.

Finding a car in a large parking lot or multi-level garage is difficult, especially when it’s dark and you’re stuck in a big crowd after an event gets out. Leaving an AirTag in your glove box or console will help your recipients find their car in no time so that they don’t have to wander the garage. It also allows them to skip the hassle of dropping a pin in your maps app every single time you park your car (who can remember to do that, anyways?), making this a fantastic use for a custom AirTag giveaway.

Tracking your luggage.

AirTags simplify tracking your luggage during trips. Snap one onto your suitcase, and your iPhone or iPad takes the lead through the Find My app. Losing a bag is a nightmare, but this gadget keeps your sanity intact.

If your luggage is close, the app lets you play a sound—ideal for hunting it down amid baggage claim mayhem. For bags farther afield, the app shows the last known spot, offering clues to help you pinpoint it or collaborate with the airline for a quicker reunion.

Find your medication.

AirTags are known for tracking belongings, but they can cleverly help with medication, too. Attach one to your pill container, and the Find My app turns into a quick locator for misplaced meds. Handy for juggling multiple prescriptions or for the absentminded among us.

Still, they’re no magic pill for medication management. Chat with your doctor about sticking to your regimen. Think of AirTags as a nifty backup, not the main act.

Track yourself.
