If you live in Ohio, or are a graduate of The Ohio State University, you know how important this time of year is to Buckeye fans. We’re gearing up for the football season that officially starts on August 31, 2019. (Click here for the schedule).

And of course with fall comes cooler weather and shorter days. Time to break out the sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets and blankets.

While there are hundreds of football and fall promotional items to choose from, why not spend your precious promotional dollars on something that will last for a long time?

Stadium and Camping Blankets

Useful for going to games, tailgating and camping. This will become a favorite go-to for those out of door events.

Women’s Sweatshirts

There are lots of sweatshirts styled specifically for women. Make your customers and employees happy with a trendy yet warm and cozy sweatshirt this fall.

Cool Weather Jackets

Perfect go to jacket for outdoors this fall. Game day, cookouts, tailgating and camping. Make an impression by putting your brand on one.

Sweatshirts

These zipper sweatshirts can be worn by men and women! They come in all colors and will be used for years to come.

A few smaller items. Cozies and footballs.

Let’s face it – people love to get free gifts and at this time of year, cozies and footballs make perfect sense. You can not go wrong giving these away. Cozies are not only used at football get togethers throughout the football season, they then get put in drawers to be pulled out in spring and will be used all summer. And footballs get thrown around at parties and picnics and stay in the kids toy box for years.

The bottom line is you want to spend your promotional dollars on things that people will appreciate, use and have some fun with!

Let us help you pick out items that fit your company’s needs and budget.

If you live in Columbus, Ohio, you know who The Ohio State Buckeyes are.

If you’re not a fan, you still know a lot of fans (if you ever get out and talk to people that is).

You see, here in Columbus, we take the Buckeyes very seriously. We look forward to football season as much or more than most professional football fanatics.

As football season approaches, we think of tailgating and going to games. We think of hanging out with friends on a beautiful fall day, perhaps drinking a little craft beer from one of the dozens of breweries in town and eating Bahama Mamas (if you’re from Columbus, you know what those are too).

You may be at a backyard BBQ with other families, tossing the football and hanging with the kids, drinking a water, eating nachos, chips, and dip or pizza from one of our amazing pizza places in town and topping it off with United Dairy Farmers or Jeni’s ice cream.

The air is cooler, the trees are turning, the sky is blue and life is good!

C-bus is an amazing town to live in. In part because of the outstanding university, OSU, and The Ohio State Buckeyes and their amazing band.

Bottom line as far as promotional items go is: football-related giveaways are always a great idea. We LOVE football, and quite frankly, the more emotional pull a promotional item has, the more likely it will be remembered with your brand.

So why not take advantage of this and spend your marketing dollars wisely by spreading your brand around this football season (and beyond).

You can get almost any football related item you want, from sunglasses, hats, shirts, stadium seats and blankets, cozies, umbrellas, football gadgets… the list is endless. Let me help you sort through it all with your budget in mind.

Here are a few items that will spark some ideas.

So you don’t miss a game, here is The Ohio State Buckeye Football Schedule

Can you believe that The Ohio State Buckeyes have their first game tomorrow?

Nothing gets Columbus quite as excited as THE Ohio State University’s beloved football team. If you live in Columbus you better at least pretend to be a Buckeye or you’ll miss out on some of the best conversations that are had this time of year. The excitement is growing, people are jovial just thinking about all the great times ahead.

Buckeyes love to get together at the stadium, tale gate parties, bars, homes and anywhere else that has a large screen TV and festive drinks and food. Wings anyone?

Every year I like to highlight the following promotional items that are PERFECT for ALL football fans. Let’s not forget that the NFL has already started the pre-season games. This is a great way to spend your promotional budget, getting the most bang for your buck.
