Swag for life: 5 swag ideas for sales kick-offs

You want it to be memorable. You want it to be productive. You want it to be fun. Most of all, you want your team to come away from it feeling a sense of shared purpose and looking forward to taking on the challenges of the year.

And while team swag is a great way to help bring people together, organising it can be a painful process. Sub-par swag often ends up being left behind at the venue, or ignored.

With our powerful gifting platform, organising your sales kickoff swag couldn’t be easier. Our platform streamlines the process, and allows you to choose, create, and schedule fully branded gift invites in minutes so your team swag can land before, during or after the event – for less waste, and more brand love.

If you've been underwhelmed by event merch that just feels ‘meh’, you’re in the right place: considered, quality gifts are our specialty (just ask Intercom!).

Read on for five of our favorite highly customisable swag ideas – all with a focus on quality, sustainability, and all guaranteed to be loved.
