The wristband as a promotional item: How everything started

Promotional wristbands are accessories, which you wear at your wrist. The idea of wristbands goes far back to the beginnings of humanity. Even in the early Stone Age, simple or more elaborate, wristbands were very popular. The wrist accessories were at first made out of organic material, like animal teeth and amber. The materials and the production of wristbands advanced with the ability of humans to process copper and bronze. But the wristbands were not always used as accessories and decoration. They were also used as shields. For the Celtics, wristbands were a sign of nobility and expression of the position of power. Today, wristbands are one of the most demanded promotional products. Many of the varieties at allbranded have a modern touch, which makes the user forget that they are as much as a wristband as those being traced back to the Stone Age. As promotional products, promotional wristbands are, thanks to their appearance, very effective.

The wristband as the ultimate fashion accessory for your target group

Even in ancient times and the Middle Ages, silver and metal wristbands decorated with gemstones, represented their owner’s wealth. Today they are being used as a fashionable accessory, which matches the belt, shoes or other clothing items, or are being preserved as keepsakes. The accessory is also a very popular gift for Christmas or for birthdays. The trend of printed wristbands, made out of silicon, started with a really cool campaign. In the year 2004, the professional cyclist Lance Armstrong was wearing a bright yellow wristband with the print ‘Livestrong’ during the Tour de France. This was not only a representation of his lifestyle, but also showed, Armstrong’s mentality regarding his fight against cancer. It helped him live through his illness. After that, celebrities worldwide, showed solidarity with Armstrong. The result of this was, the sale of 70 million printed wristbands with the profit donated to support people with cancer. Advertising companies have realised the value of those promotional wristbands and started using them for their own benefit. The wristbands are still in fashion to this day. Their main function is to represent statements. If that is not also useful for promotional messages we don’t know. Start following this trend and print our high-quality wristbands with your message.
