Custom Merch That Stands Out For Hospitality & Beverage Brands--since 1956!
As the year winds down, brands start looking ahead to 2025, and at Libation Promotions, we – specifically – look at what will be trending in the worlds of beverages and hospitality.
By observing what’s ahead, we can think about how to better target our audience (as can you), and one such way is through promotional products that are themed around next year’s trends.
For example, Nestlé predicts that people will be enhancing foods through sauces and other flavorful additions, and we offer a variety of custom-branded spices, rubs, and hot sauces. These can be sold in your storefront, given away at trade shows, or included in swag bags.
The National Restaurant Association echoes that spicy will be “in” next year (through flavors like hot honey and pickled foods) and says to get ready for cold brew to grow even further in popularity. Our coffee makers and coffee presses coincide with this and can be used as employee incentives or client appreciation gifts.
According to Whole Foods, hydration mixers with ingredients like electrolytes will be on the rise, too. Already, shaker bottles are
seen in gyms, filled with protein powder and pre-workout mixes, but now, more will be turning to blender bottles, in order to increase water intake.
Bars can expect to see two trends stick around in 2025: non-alcoholic drinks and ready-to-drink cocktails, as reported by the Bartender Spirits Awards. A marketing strategy for this includes offering up cocktail kits (for go-to beverages like an old fashioned or a margarita); while at home, people can create and customize their own drinks, as you provide the necessary components and as they decide whether or not to add alcohol!
Before the new year begins, we encourage you to think about your goals for the coming months and really take a look at upcoming trends. You can get in on them now by turning to the items listed above, which can all be imprinted with your brand’s info, leading to a successful start in 2025.
