Custom Coolers: A Promotional Product for Every Season

August 6, 2026

Custom coolers are useful year-round, from packing lunch for work to football games, road trips, camping, and weekends at the beach. With plenty of sizes and styles available, they’re an easy promotional product to match to your audience, event, or budget.


Why Choose a Custom Cooler?

A cooler has a simple purpose: keep food and drinks cold on the go. Add your logo or custom design, and you have a functional promotional product that can be used at work, games, vacations, events, and everyday outings.


Custom Coolers for Fall Events and Tailgating

Football season, weekend tournaments, and fall events are perfect opportunities for a branded cooler. Use them for company tailgates, youth sports, customer giveaways, or event gifts. Coolers keep food and drinks cold while putting your branding on an item that can travel well beyond the event.

A Practical Employee Holiday Gift

Custom coolers also make great employee holiday gifts. Employees can use them for lunches, road trips, sporting events, and weekend outings throughout the year.

Depending on your budget and gifting needs, you can choose from:

  1. Soft-sided insulated coolers
  2. Backpack coolers
  3. Custom lunch coolers
  4. Custom cooler bags
  5. Hard-shell coolers
  6. Collapsible coolers

A compact lunch cooler works well for everyday use, while larger insulated and backpack styles can make a more substantial employee or client gift.

More Ways to Wear Your Brand With Custom Stores

September 9, 2026
Branded apparel doesn’t have to mean choosing one shirt, one color and hoping everyone likes it. A custom online store gives people more ways to find something that fits their personal style while still representing your brand. At Behind Your Design, we create custom pop-up stores year-round for businesses, organizations, teams, events and special campaigns. With more options for apparel styles, colors, sizes and decoration methods, a custom store can turn branded apparel into something people are genuinely excited to order and wear. A Fresh Take on Pure Barre Apparel We recently created custom stores for Pure Barre that show just how much personality you can bring to branded apparel. For our local Pure Barre studio, we created a collegiate-inspired collection featuring block chenille lettering reminiscent of classic game-day apparel. It gave the Pure Barre brand a completely different look while still feeling cohesive, recognizable and wearable. We also created a seasonal Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness store that was made available to Pure Barre studios across the country. The collection combined a timely theme with a larger purpose, giving studios access to special apparel while also supporting a breast cancer fundraiser. These stores can be seasonal, tied to a fundraiser or event, or simply created to give your brand a fresh, creative twist.

A Smart Take on the Classic Reusable Bag

September 8, 2026
Reusable bags are one of those promotional products that just make sense. They’re practical, versatile and give your brand plenty of room to be seen. But there’s always one problem: remembering to actually bring them with you.  That’s what makes a foldable reusable bag such a smart option. Instead of taking up space when it’s not being used, it folds down into a compact size that’s easy to keep close by. Toss it in a purse, backpack, glove compartment or desk drawer, and it’s ready when you need it.

Whether you’re building brand visibility, recognizing sponsors, celebrating an accomplishment or directing attention to an important message, a well-designed banner gives you plenty of space to make an impact.
