Remote work is here to stay but building a strong company culture when your team is spread across cities (or continents) can be challenging. That’s where branded merchandise comes in. SWAG isn’t just a gift; it’s a connection point that reminds employees they’re part of something bigger. Here’s how to make it work.
Why SWAG Matters for Remote Team
When employees work from home, they miss out on the little things, office energy, casual chats, and shared experiences. Branded merchandise helps bridge that gap by:
- Creating a sense of belonging
- Reinforcing company values
- Adding a personal touch to virtual interactions
Ideas That Go Beyond the Basic
- Virtual Event Kits
Hosting an online meeting or team-building session? Send a kit that makes it special:
- Branded mugs for a virtual coffee break with treats
- Snacks and drinks for a happy hour kit
- Fun extras like stickers or desk accessories
- Onboarding Boxes
First impressions matter, even remotely. Welcome new hires with:
- A branded hoodie or T-shirt
- A personalised notebook and pen for their home office
- Branded Premium drinkware
- Seasonal Gifts
Celebrate milestones and holidays with thoughtful packages:
- Winter: Cosy blankets and hot chocolate kits
- Summer: Branded water bottles and sunglasses
- Year-end: Premium tech gadgets or wellness bundles
Tips for Global Shipping
If you’re sending SWAG to remote employees around the world, keep things simple:
- Choose lightweight items to keep shipping costs sensible
- Work with suppliers (like us!) who can handle international fulfilment and take care of delivery rules and regulations
Quality Counts
Remote employees interact with your SWAG daily—on their desk, in their home office, even on video calls. High-quality items reflect your brand and show you care.
Keep Culture Alive, Anywhere
Distance doesn’t have to mean disconnect. With the right SWAG strategy, you can make remote employees feel valued and connected—no matter where they are.
