Promotional products are extremely effective in raising awareness of charities around the world. 

Voluntary organisations can give away or sell T-shirts, mugs, stationery, bags and banners that contain their logos and slogans.

One group that appears to have made a good job of this is Movember.

The charity’s main aim is to raise awareness of male health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as mental health problems. As the name of the group suggests, people are encouraged to grow a moustache throughout the 30 days of November in order to promote the cause. 

With November fast approaching, leaders at the Movember charity are keen to spread the word and it has produced an extensive range of branded merchandise in order to raise funds.

The organisation has teamed up with popular footwear manufacturer TOMS, with the company producing a special line of shoes that feature a moustache.

“We at Movember are very excited to join forces with our 2013 corporate partners to change the face of men’s health.”

Of course, this is just one example of how a charity has used promotional merchandise and solid branding to further its cause.

Having worked in Promotional Merchandise for the last 25 years I have been exposed to all aspects of the industry. Starting out as an account manager working with some of the worlds leading brands, I have learnt to understand the needs of a client, manufacturing processes, and what it takes to deliver a successful promotional campaign that is on brand, on time and within a given budget.
