Gridiron Good Times
Along with football season comes the great American pastime of tailgating. More than ever, people want to get together, and tailgating provides plenty of opportunity for gathering and good times. Promo can help your brand get in on the action to make the most of the celebratory atmosphere as fans root for their favorite teams.
We’ve all seen the extreme tailgaters who basically build a living room in the stadium parking lot, but you don’t need to haul out a recliner and big-screen TV to host a successful tailgate. Gameday essentials include food and beverages, of course, but don’t forget seating, shelter and something to keep everyone entertained.
Each person has their own list of must-haves, but the essentials include a portable grill, a game or activity to bring people together and a cooler for your drinks. Ultimately, tailgating is about enjoying a shared experience.
Here are a few promo products perfect for hosting an amazing tailgate:
Portable Grill
Get the gridiron party started with a grill that goes with you. This Porta-Chef Gas Grill features 426 square inches of cooking space, cast iron cooking grids, three stainless steel tube burners and folding resin side shelves. Four sturdy snap-in legs are easily detachable and can be stored under the grill for easy portability. (Standard propane tank sold separately.)
Savory Snacks
Savory snacks are a must. These Fully Cooked Chicken Wings are pre-cooked for perfect results every time. They are light and crispy, like they were fried, but without the mess or time required to achieve their smoky flavor with hints of salt and pepper.
Charcuterie Board
Break out the Cheesehead hats and serve up A Taste of Wisconsin (delicious for non-Packers fans, too). The gift set includes your choice of mild cheddar or shelf-stable mild pepper cheese, tangy beef summer sausage, a box of water crackers and a small cleaver perfect for serving, plus a heavy-duty, sustainable bamboo chopping board, fire-branded with your custom imprint.

A Game Of Your Own
Keep the party going during timeouts and commercials with a game. This Fowling Set combines two of America’s favorite games – football and bowling – in one perfectly portable package that includes 20 pins, two brandable boards, one football and one air pump.

A silicone sleeve makes it easy to twist back together and take on the go.
