Branded Giveaways for National Small Business Week

National Small Business Week 2025 will take place May 4-10 and is a time to celebrate the innovation, resilience, and hard work of entrepreneurs and small business owners across the country. For companies looking to show support, boost local connections, or grow their brand, it’s the perfect opportunity to utilize branded giveaways. At Image Ink, we believe that the right promotional products can build community, spark engagement, and leave a lasting impression.

Here are some powerful branded giveaway ideas to help your business stand out during National Small Business Week:

1. Custom Tote Bags

Everyone loves a reusable tote! Not only are they practical, but they’re also a great way to put your logo in front of more people. Perfect for small business expos, pop-up markets, and appreciation events.

2. Branded Notebooks and Pens

A classic combo that never goes out of style. Hand out custom notebooks and pens at networking events or business workshops. It’s a simple, useful way to keep your brand top-of-mind.

3. Apparel for Team Spirit

Celebrate your own small business or support others by creating branded T-shirts, hats, or hoodies. Apparel giveaways can help spread awareness while building pride within your team and community.

4. Local-Themed Swag

Customize your giveaways to reflect your town or region—think stickers, mugs, or magnets featuring hometown pride alongside your logo. It adds a personal touch that people love.

5. Small Business Support Packs

Create a bundle of helpful items for other small businesses—branded planners, coffee mugs, USB drives, or even mini desk plants. These kits are great for networking events and show your commitment to supporting peers.

6. Eco-Friendly Giveaways

Show your values by offering sustainable swag like bamboo utensils, reusable straws, or seed paper bookmarks. It’s a thoughtful way to promote both your brand and a greener planet.

7. Social Media Giveaway Contests

Boost your online presence during the week by hosting a branded giveaway contest. Encourage users to tag your business, share their favorite local shop, or post a photo using your product—then reward them with custom swag.

Celebrate Small, Think Big
