As we kick off January 2026, event planners and marketers are gearing up for a busy Q1 trade show and expo season ahead. Branded giveaways remain a proven cornerstone of successful event marketing, turning short booth visits into long-term brand connections that keep delivering value well beyond the show floor.
With demand surging for custom promotional items at the start of the year, production and shipping timelines can stretch weeks or more. Founded in 2007, Streamline Branding brings nearly two decades of global sourcing experience to the table, helping clients sidestep delays, extra fees, and stock issues so your products arrive on time, every time.
Promotional products drive real results: studies show recipients remember the advertiser in 85% of cases, and eco-friendly choices significantly enhance brand perception among environmentally aware audiences. Placing orders now allows plenty of time to select and personalize standout items—like reusable drinkware, tech gadgets, or sustainable notebooks—that perfectly reflect your brand and resonate with attendees.
Sustainability continues to shape event marketing decisions, with the eco-conscious promotional products segment contributing billions to the industry annually. Streamline Branding excels at delivering high-quality, responsible options—think bamboo, recycled plastics, and biodegradable materials—while keeping costs competitive through our vast international supplier network.
