My Favorite Merch: Debbie Gaspar, Zagwear
Industry distributors share the promo products that they love the most.
My prized merch possession is my Stasher bag. It’s simple yet incredibly practical and it fits perfectly into my eco-conscious, on-the-go lifestyle!
I first became aware of Stasher bags when I received one as a giveaway at an Earth Day event that was held in my community. I’m thrilled that this is now being offered in our industry by Hit Promotional Products (asi/61125) and can be branded, which makes it even more special.
I literally have about 35 of them in all different sizes. I use them every day whether it’s for packing snacks for myself or my family, storing leftovers, or even organizing small travel items or putting my phone in it to go the beach. It’s a go-to item that definitely never sits idle in my house!
Not only is it practical, but the Stasher bag symbolizes my commitment to reducing waste. Plus, it’s durable and has saved me from using countless disposable plastic bags, which we all know is terrible for the environment. I love the commitment Stasher has to reducing waste and to using products that are alternatives to single-use plastics.
One memorable moment was using the bag on a hiking trip earlier this year – it kept all of my snacks fresh and secure, and it also ended up doubling as a water-resistant pouch for my phone when it started pouring halfway through the hike.
Promo products like Stasher bags are powerful because they combine functionality with a company’s brand identity. They create a lasting impression when they provide real value, such as reducing waste or enhancing convenience. They also resonate emotionally when they align with a person’s values, like sustainability, which encourages continued use and brand loyalty. A well-chosen product becomes part of people’s daily lives!
