5 Pumpkin Promotional Products to Prepare for Fall

Labor Day has come and gone, and with it, my sense of shame surrounding my pumpkin consumption. While I love the summer season and its corresponding beach days, I always fall hard for the fall. The air is re-energized with the autumn wind, plaid scarves are ubiquitous, "Hocus Pocus" finally returns to the TV schedule and pumpkin-flavored everything returns to store shelves (and more importantly, Starbucks).

While I sipped on my morning pumpkin spice latte, I realized the power of the pumpkin. For an entire two months, fall's most notable symbol will be center stage throughout the nation. And while many people will be gifted with a papier-mâché pumpkin crafted by their first-grader, why not give end-users more variety with these pumpkin promotional products?

1. Pumpkin Coasters

Promotional coasters are gaining in popularity due to their never-ending potential. Think about it: When's the last time you attended an event without coasters? (Your aunt Edna's clam bake doesn't count.) In all likelihood, you've seen a lot of coasters. Plus, there's few things I admire more than a unique coaster—I even collected them while I studied abroad in Ireland. End-users can host their Halloween parties without the stress of condensation accumulating on their wooden tables, and your company's branding can be the decorative hero of the evening.

2. Pumpkin-carving Tools

Some of my fondest childhood memories revolve around carving pumpkins. My siblings and I would spend hours sketching and cutting our perfect pumpkins, which would eventually lend itself to a good old-fashioned pumpkin seed fight (we grew up without cable TV). There's no reason for end-users to reach for a sub-par kitchen knife, when they can use a pumpkin carver to get the job done.

3. Pumpkin Sunglasses

Not everyone has the time to brainstorm the perfect Halloween costume, and oftentimes last-minute Halloween costumes are the result. Instead of reaching for a sheet and a pair of scissors, end-users can don an attention-grabbing pair of light-up pumpkin promotional sunglasses. Plus, we all know there's nothing spookier than UVA rays!
