Rewarding Good Behavior: Promoting Wellness with Giveaways


Spring is a time of renewal for more than just nature. Every spring millions commit to revive their exercise plan, get ready for bikini season or train for a summer race. Employers, government health agencies, and wellness related brands all have a reason to encourage and reward this healthier behavior.

When you’re creating a promotional campaign that involves giveaways, “affordable” and “creative” need not be mutually exclusive. Here are a few ideas.

Pedometers

Most people starting a fitness program from scratch begin with walking. A discrete promotional pedometer can track the steps they take and help them make better choices to rack up more steps.



Digital Pedometer

  • Full color imprint area on face
  • Compact design
  • No sharp corners to catch on clothing

From $1.64


Water Bottles

Everyone gives away water bottles, and for good reason. They are inexpensive, extremely useful and offer a high level of brand exposure. But, if you’re going to give away a water bottle, it never hurts to make it an exceptionally useful model - like one that can stash your driver's license and car keys.



Water Bottle with ID and Key Storage

  • BPA Free
  • Imprintable on front and cap
  • Hidden storage compartment

From $2.55



Bags

Some kind of bag is useful in nearly every sport – whether one needs an entire gym bag or just something ultra light to hold their keys and jacket for a quick lunch break stroll.


Draw String Backpack

  • 6 inch imprint area
  • Available in Blue, Pink, Green, Red, Black, Natural
  • Ultra lightweight and folds down into purse

From $0.80



Branded Premiums

If you’re sponsoring a “get fit” program, don’t forget the rewards for those that go above and beyond. For the most improved fitness or wellness levels, consider branded premiums that go hand-in-hand with the active lifestyle.

  • Holds hundreds of songs
  • Headphone with built in remote & volume control

Just $45.50



Safety

When walking alone or at night, it’s essential to remember basic safety. A super light keychain that’s also a personal alarm (whistle) and an LED light – genius!
