Welcome back, campus captains and university VIPs; from bustling lecture halls to buzzing quad corners, we’ve got your back to campus merch strategy covered. At Blue Soda Promo, we believe the best promo gear doesn’t just ride in backpacks, it makes you the toast of orientation week.
Ready to level up your campus swag game? Here's our fresh list of six promo items that’ll have students saying, “You had me at free stuff.”
1. Sol Tonal Straw Tumbler - 20 Oz.
This sleek tumbler is sunshine bottled, perfectly polarized for branding that sticks. With its tonal finish and straw-friendly lid, hydration just got a serious upgrade. It’s great for chilly study sessions or iced coffee sprints between morning lectures. Logo it, sip it, love it!
2. Allmade Organic French Terry Crewneck Sweatshirt
No, you're not imagining the cloud-like feel: this crewneck is made from 100% organic combed ring-spun cotton French terry. Students will be cozy, campers will be comfy, and you’ll look sustainable-savvy, thanks to its carbon-reduced footprint. It’s basically a hug you can wear, with your logo front and center.
3. Moleskine Hard-Cover Ruled Medium Notebook
Lecture notes, doodles, or your next novel outline: this iconic notebook is all business with a splash of literary chic. Hard-cover durability and ruled pages keep ideas crisp and caffeinated. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of note-taking, only classier.
4. Zippered Pencil Case
Pens, highlighters, and earbuds, oh my! This cordoned-off compartment keeps campus drop-and-dash chaos contained. Available in frosted blue, red, clear, or charcoal, it zips it up and ships it out, without your branding going AWOL. And at under $5 each, it's a bargain that earns its place in their hearts (and backpacks).
5. 3-Way Pen 3-Pack
Note-taking is much more vibrant and exciting with three styles in one pack that are fully customizable in 18 colors. That’s over 5,800 ways to mix and match. Plus, they’re made from 100% rPET recycled material, so your brand looks sharp while being green. Students will want to collect them like Pokémon.
6. Sanford 15" Computer Backpack
This pack means business. With a padded sleeve for laptops up to 15 inches, roomy compartments, and a side mesh pocket for on-the-go hydration, it’s built for busy campus commutes. Adjustable straps keep it comfy, and your logo gets front-row visibility all semester long.
