Trending Merchandise: Innovative GWP for Whiskey Brands

Never thought that you were drinking more ice water than the actual beverage? Gift your customers with some promo whiskey stones and a proper glass of bourbon.

Whiskey stones – solid cubes made of either stone or stainless steel – offer the benefit of keeping your drink cold without diluting it. Many prefer to use them over ice cubes because they don’t melt, are odorless and tasteless, and have a more prolonged cooling effect. All this means the customer will be able to enjoy his or her drink in a whiskey glass without any alteration of taste or smell.

Nonetheless, excellent promo whiskey stones require equally nice packaging. No company would hand them over like ordinary rocks, for sure. Just look at the new packaging designs for promo whiskey cubes here above.

Why would these promo whiskey stones be effective promo items?
Higher perceived value: The clean and well-finished design and the materials used for the boxes and the cubes make the promo gift seem not cheap at all. The customer will feel like they’re receiving a significant present and may consequently adopt a different approach towards your brand.
Branding: The logo on top of the box is a perfect example of branding. However, not only the box can be branded but the promo whiskey stones as well. Your name can be visible in every glass and single stone cube.
Custom: The design can also be customized. It is possible to use other materials, apply different closing methods, compose personalized sets, and so on. The possibilities are infinite.
Are you looking for a high-end or basic promo whiskey stones set? It is a great idea that suits purchase with purchase and gift with purchase campaigns.
