practical products for times like these

Written by College Hill | Mar 17, 2020 8:59:02 PM

These are strange times, but we're all in this together. No matter who you are and what you do, chances are, we're in the same boat right now. We're all having to pivot and get creative, thinking of the best solutions for our teams, networks and customers. We hope we can help.

Whether you have a team working from home, you're looking for reusable, easy-to-clean products to share with your business, organization, staff, team or customers, or you're looking for sustainable solutions, we've got a slew of products to fit the bill.

Here are some of our favorite practical spring products, for these trying times, and for all times.

1. Work From Home Bundle

With much of the country shifting to a work-from-home model for positions that can function in that capacity, we think this is a brilliant concept from our friends and partners over at Origaudio. The Work From Home bundle includes items like ear buds for virtual meetings, a phone stand to easily monitor work calls and messages, a sanitation product for your cell phone and more, all in a stylish, packable bag in case you or anyone on your team needs to work elsewhere, like a teammate's house or on-the-go. While we think this is an amazing solution for these current times, we also think this is a long-term solution for many workers that telecommute year-round and for those who travel for work. Every item inside - and the bag itself - is fully customizable. Our design team can do logo placement or, even better, create a wildly original and personalized design for your team. Get started here.

2. Reusable Straws

It's no secret that plastic straws aren't so hot for the environment. As many coffee shops and restaurants switch to paper straws (which sadly often disintegrate) or even opt to go straw-less, you may want to consider reusable straws for your team. Using them is more hygienic when you're going out to restaurants or bars. They're also better for sensitive teeth than going straw-less.

You may have never considered promoting your business or organization on a straw, of all things, but it's 2020. This is some futuristic level stuff. Think about how many impressions you'll get from these eye-catching straws, which are totally customizable with laser engraved imprints. These also make great gifts for staff or clients, especially in times like these when sustainability and environmental consciousness are of the utmost importance and we're facing the urgent need to utilize our own clean, safe, reusable and sanitized products.

We like these Park Avenue Stainless Steel straws for their elegant style, but you can peruse countless options of reusable straws at collegehillpromo.com. Find the direct search here.

3. Reusable Bags

Reusable bags are just straight up better for the environment. That being said, we love them now more than ever. Using your own bag can help prevent the spread of germs as you can pack your own groceries and supplies, helping both yourself and grocery and pharmacy store staff to stay healthy and safe.

You may have seen from our recent blog that we have a thing for local, sustainable company Miir. We love their Olympus 16L Reusable Shopper because it's stylish, sturdy and represents your brand in the best possible light. We love these for client gifts, staff gifts and retail sales. Check it out here.

4. Reusable Water Bottles

Staying hydrated is so important for your health. While many of our nation's restaurants and bars are closed down, being sure you have water nearby if you're out running errands or getting to and from work is a must. Consider an order of easy-to-clean, totally customizable water bottles. We have countless options, but always love h2go products, like the 16 oz. Karma bottle pictured. Check it out here and peruse our many options at collegehillpromo.com
