Time to Rethink the Swag Game

If your employee swag still consists of stress balls and stiff polos, it’s overdue for a serious upgrade. Today’s teams crave gear that feels personal, useful, and—most importantly—cool. The era of one-size-fits-all water bottles and USB drives is officially behind us.

Some swag gets tossed in a drawer. Other swag becomes a favorite hoodie, the go-to coffee mug, or the conversation-starting gadget that gets your brand noticed in all the right ways. So what’s the difference?

The Ultimate Guide to Standout Swag That Builds Culture, Boosts Retention, and Wows Your Team

Let’s be real: when you hear “employee swag,” you probably picture a drawstring bag, a basic pen, or maybe a t-shirt you wear to paint the garage. But cool employee swag? That’s a whole different vibe—and if you’re working with Merchloop, it’s an easy win.

Corporate swag has entered a bold new era. No longer limited to cheap pens and forgettable water bottles, today's company swag is about delighting teams, impressing clients, and reinforcing culture—all while staying on brand and on trend.

Company swag has come a long way from stress balls and basic pens. These days, people expect branded goodies that are actually useful, a little stylish, and maybe even brag-worthy. Whether you're welcoming new hires, rewarding a high-performing team, or showing appreciation to loyal clients, great swag sends a message: this brand gets it.

Not all company swag is created equal.

There’s the forgettable kind—yet another mug, stress ball, or ill-fitting tee—and then there’s the cool kind. The kind that people actually wear. Show off. Post about. The kind that turns team members into walking brand advocates and builds loyalty along the way.
