Stay on top of the Staycation trend: promotional products for a summer like no other

With four out of five people planning to holiday in the UK this year, a ‘Staycation Summer’ could bring a massive £22bn boost to domestic tourism. This unmissable trend is the ideal opportunity for companies to connect with customers and employees.

As travel restrictions have put paid to holidays abroad, many people are looking for an escape closer to home. Savings have built up during lockdown and people want to treat themselves after a difficult year.

Why not support this while raising awareness of your brand, with promotional items designed to complement staycations? You could run travel-themed marketing campaigns or give your employees gifts to encourage wellbeing. Staycations can improve health and even enhance sleep duration.

Top UK staycation locations for 2021: Eastbourne, Plymouth, Brighton, Bath, Norwich, Blackpool, and Southampton. Discover more idyllic locations in the UK.

Energy

"Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive. It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you."

Automotive

"We work closely with Marke Creative due to their expert local market knowledge and flexibility to react to local market conditions, giving us an advantage to offer a market-specific range while reacting to any potential issues effectively for our dealers and end-customers. The Marke Creative team represent many of our core values: by challenging the norm and continually offering a range that excites and ignites the brand passion. Having worked with Marke Creative for a number of years, the team’s passion for what they do shows through in everything they do."

Financial Services

"My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb."
