Not only will we show you the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/collections\/government-promotional-products.html\">government promotional products<\/a>, but also show you some of the most popular promo items and how they are being used today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/local-parks-and-recreation.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Drinkware For Parks &amp; Recreation\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/local-parks-and-recreation.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/local-parks-and-recreation-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/local-parks-and-recreation-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/local-parks-and-recreation-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>You are not the first agency considering using such products. Government agencies all over the United States rely on suppliers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/\">iPromo<\/a> to keep them stocked.<\/p>\n<p>Promo products can be a lifesaver for agencies with limited budgets. They are the best way to reach out to the community without spending a fortune. They can also be used internally for employees as a swag benefit. They represent a person\u2019s job and community and people take pride in showcasing these products.<\/p>\n<p>So what government agencies use government promotional products?<\/p>\n<h2>Government Promotional Products and the Agencies that Use Them<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t just think of a government agency as the mayor\u2019s office or local city council. Governments have plenty of departments that have a need for promotional products.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-shaped-flash-drives-police-department-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Shaped Police Car USB Flash Drive\" width=\"375\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-shaped-flash-drives-police-department-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-shaped-flash-drives-police-department-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-shaped-flash-drives-police-department-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-shaped-flash-drives-police-department.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>Police and Fire Departments<\/strong> &#8211; Police and fire departments are notorious for using government promotional products. It is good for public relations and also helps with the department\u2019s everyday operations. For instance, giving out refrigerator magnets with the non-emergency number can help cut down on calls to 9-1-1. Having items as part of a D.A.R.E. program can help people remember the message the department is trying to convey to young adults.<\/li>\n<li><strong>School Districts<\/strong> \u2013 Schools are one of the top users of promotional products. They use everything from school uniforms to any type of product they can use to lure potential students. Another way they take advantage of promotional products is to sell them through their student store or give them away as spirit items at school sporting events.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Political Campaigns<\/strong> \u2013 Before a government official becomes such, they must run for office. Using promotional products during political campaigns can help people remember you when it comes time to vote.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Community Initiatives<\/strong> \u2013 If your government has community initiatives such as a recycling program, using promotional items can come in handy to keep citizens informed of the project. Using community calendars with dates and times of events is a great way to keep everyone on the same page. They also work well to award volunteers for various programs.<\/li>\n<li><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-coffee-mugs.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Mugs For National Parks\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-coffee-mugs.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-coffee-mugs-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-coffee-mugs-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-coffee-mugs-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Government Contacts<\/strong> \u2013 As with police and fire departments, you want people to remember important telephone numbers. Giving away promotional items with such information can help people get into contact with you when something is needed. Public works and utility agencies use items to let people know what to do or who to call in case of emergencies (down power lines) and non-emergencies (power outages in the area).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brand Your Agency, Show Off Your Town<\/strong> \u2013 Government promotional products such as hats and t-shirts can help people know more about your city or specific agency. They are perfect souvenirs for people visiting as well as pride apparel for those who live there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corporate Wellness Programs<\/strong> \u2013 If your agency has implemented a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/ideas-to-cultivate-successful-corporate-health-wellness-programs\/\">corporate wellness program<\/a>, use promotional items as rewards for those who meet their fitness goals or to encourage others to join the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The different ways you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/all-promotional-items\">promotional items<\/a> in the government are endless. These are just a few of the most common. So, what are some of the items that people typically use and for what purpose do they use them for?<\/p>\n<h2>Stress Reducers (Stress Balls and Fidget Spinners)<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Stress Relievers\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-fire-department-stress-relievers.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Stress reducers are very popular for government employees. It is one of the most stressful jobs as there is an entire community counting on you to do things correctly. That is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/stressballs-games-toys\/stress-relievers.html\">stress balls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/stressballs-games-toys\/fidget-toys.html\">fidget toys<\/a> are a great gift idea.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can they be used by employees, but they work well for community outreach. Throwing stress balls into a crowd during a parade can get people excited and make them aware of any community initiative you may be promoting.<\/p>\n<h2>Business Card Cases<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone carries business cards. Don\u2019t let them get worn down and look unprofessional by just keeping a stack of them in your pocket. You need to use a business card case as does everyone else in your agency.<\/p>\n<p>Business card cases come in a number of styles. You can choose metal clip cases or leather cases similar to a wallet. Some even double as a money clip. Regardless of the style you choose, business cards will come out crisp and professional when given to a member of the community.<\/p>\n<h2>Safety Products<\/h2>\n<p>Name a government agency that operates without safety products. That\u2019s right, there are none. The law requires government agencies to operate under safety standards in the same manner as any other business.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the safety products that we carry:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-22678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-safety-apparel.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Safety Apparel\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-safety-apparel.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-safety-apparel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-safety-apparel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-safety-apparel-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/healthcare-ppe\/ppe-collections\/made-in-the-usa-ppe.html\">PPE Made in USA<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Safety Apparel<\/li>\n<li>Earplugs &amp; Noise Cancelling Items<\/li>\n<li>Reflectors &amp; Flashers<\/li>\n<li>Safety Headwear such as Hardhats<\/li>\n<li>Safety Lights<\/li>\n<li>Safety Glasses and Gloves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every agency has its own needs for safety equipment. You can not only fill the needs of that agency, but also customize the items specific to them. Have fire extinguishers in city hall with the crest of the city. Have the fire department insignia on extinguishers throughout the schools, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>Writing Instruments and Promotional Pens<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/writing.html\">Pens and other writing instruments<\/a> are a given when running the government. Use them internally or give them away to the public to so they remember your phone number or remind them of a specific community event. Pens are one of the least expensive promotional product you can purchase so they fit well with limited budgets of the public sector.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to pens, you can get dry erase markers, highlighters, and other writing implements that your agency uses on a daily basis. Customize them for specific events as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Customized Apparel<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22680 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-hats.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Hats\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-hats.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-hats-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-hats-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Apparel items are very popular for both government employees and those who live within the communities they serve. Everyone loves apparel and they<\/p>\n<p>Apparel items such as ponchos and raingear are perfect for those who work outside. This can be sanitation or utility workers (also works well for police officers directing traffic in inclement weather).<\/p>\n<p>Give away <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/apparel\/t-shirts.html\">customized t-shirts<\/a> to community volunteers who help with community projects such as cleaning up parks or volunteers at school events. They will be rewarded for their efforts while at the same time displaying the pride of your community.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c85% of U.S. consumers remember the advertiser who gave them the outerwear.\u201d \u2013 Advertising Specialty Institute<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are plenty of other apparel items you can use as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/collections\/government-promotional-products.html\">government promotional products<\/a> such as hats, aprons, sweatshirts, and jackets.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-22682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-3-in-1-power-bank-2500-mah-featured.gif\" alt=\"Custom Power Banks\" width=\"320\" height=\"365\" \/>Custom PopSockets and Phone Accessories<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/brands\/popsockets.html\">Custom PopSockets<\/a> are very useful for government employees. They are also well received by people living in the community. They work by attaching to the back of your cell phone and expanding to fit your hand. This gives you easier use of your phone so that there are fewer dropped and broken devices. Cut down on the cost of replacing government issued phones by giving a few of these away to employees.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20004\/Power-Banks.html\">Power banks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/technology\/power-charging\/wireless-chargers.html\">wireless charges<\/a> are also useful in the public service sector. Everyone is always looking to charge their device. As a government employee, you may not have immediate access to a charger while out in the field. That is why having a way to charge without going back to the office is imperative.<\/p>\n<h2>Government Promotional Products are Effective<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of what type of government agency you run, there is always a use for promotional products. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/409\/Tablecloths.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-tablecloths.jpg\" alt=\"Custom Tablecloths\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-tablecloths.jpg 672w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-tablecloths-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-tablecloths-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ipromo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/custom-tablecloths-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>Whether it is for the community outreach or for your own employees, we have plenty of products you can use to get the job done.<\/p>\n<p>From safety items to promotional products for local schools, there are many products to fit your needs.
