Make a marketing splash with custom branded drink cans! 

CUSTOM-BRANDED DRINK CANS ARE SO COOL! They’ll add a huge “wow” factor to your next promotional event. Read on for ideas you can steal, and all the details on how we can help you make a splash with your brand!

Why use branded drink cans to promote your business? 

Aluminum cans are more sustainable than other options. 

Aluminum cans have a higher recycling rate and more recycled content than plastic bottles. Plus, they protect contents inside the can better, and they’re lightweight, stackable and strong – meaning you can package and transport more drinks using less material. 

Custom-branded drink cans are memorable! 

Drinks in custom cans really serve up style and make a statement. Why settle for engaging one sense when you can hit all five?  

• Sight, obviously – picture your bold branded design grabbing attention and expressing your unique brand personality with style!

• Touch – feel the coldness of the can, the smooth aluminum, those drops of condensation on a hot day  
• Sound – the oh-so-satisfying crack of the top popping open  
• Smell – the scent hitting your nose just before you drink 
• Taste - as you raise the can and enjoy the cool, crisp deliciousness inside 

Marketing ideas with branded beverages 

1. Give them out at open house & customer appreciation events to give your customers a memorable experience – literally a taste of your branding! 

2. Add a special branded touch to important meetings – make your own branded sparkling water part of your conference room amenities.  

3. Host a special happy hour event for prospective customers, showing them you’re willing to go all-out to impress them (and gain their business). 

4. Stand out at trade shows, where everyone else is giving out a pen and maybe a stress ball. 

5. Be the go-to booth at outdoor events with your own branded cold beverages. Hint: this works a lot better than getting a case of something at Costco and putting your own labels on them. When the ice in your cooler melts, what happens to those labels isn’t pretty! Your custom-branded cans don’t have that problem. 

6. Got a waiting area? Imagine the immersive brand experience you’ll create when you hand your customer their choice of beverage in a custom-branded can. Car dealerships, salons, even financial advisors or title companies - if your customers come to you by appointment and you want to make a big impression, this is a great way to do it.
