Did you hear about Hugh Power’s latest masterpiece—the 24k gold extreme mountain bike? It’s a beautiful bicycle designed in collaboration with Dan Bull, an internationally recognized ultra athlete and extreme sports promoter. The handcrafted bike is overlaid with pure gold and there are more than 10 carats of diamonds and sapphires pave’ set on the frame emblem. Oh, and the saddle is made with alligator.
From schools to airports, national parks to playgrounds, bottle fill stations are popping up all over the place. Plastics reduction efforts around the country have helped to catapult custom water bottles into the limelight—and into everyone’s hands! As we crawl out of our winter hibernation and head towards warmer weather, there’s never been a better time to integrate printed water bottles into your marketing or fundraising efforts.
Not convinced? In a survey conducted by the Promotional Products Association International, 69% of respondents said that usability is key when it comes to grabbing a promotional product at an event. More than 90% said that the reason they keep and use a promotional product is because it’s useful.
Customized water bottles are meant to be just that—custom. No two projects are created equally. So we at Bulletin Bottle [.com] were somewhat surprised to see that in 2014, time and again our clients gravitated towards the same bottles.
Like each customer’s project, these water bottles each have unique characteristics. However, they share one commonality: they are, by far, the most popular customized water bottles of 2014.
Like the name implies, the eight cheery options for our Bright Stainless Sipper Bottle lend a vibrant color pop to just about anything! The sport bottle is made from sturdy stainless steel, and features a screw down, straw spout with a handy black fingerhole on the lid. Liquid flows easily and quickly through the clear straw, which rotates open and shut with the integrated tab (a really nice touch). Did we say how much we love the colors?
So you ordered some wholesale water bottles with your logo on them. The boxes have delivered and now you’re wondering what on earth to do with them all. Here are seven great ideas:
1. Give one to every employee and eliminate single-use, disposable bottles in your workplace. Plus, it will be easier for your staff to sell something they’ve used personally.

For years, we’ve been saying that people (and camels!) love free stuff! And they do! But, how long does that love affair last? Well, that depends on the product, Generally speaking, however, nearly half of the recipients keep it for a year or more!
Did you know that 53% of consumers use promotional products every week? Considering that water bottles can last for years—and be used every day—this bodes well for your promotional water bottles campaign!
The best part? 76% of people who own, say, a promotional water bottle, can remember where it came from and what the message is—whether they have it in front of them (which is kind of cheating…) or not! That’s money well spent.
So, if you’ve been kicking around the idea of using promotional water bottles for your company, school, or nonprofit…chances are your project will be well received AND remembered for a long time to come.
Many of our clients hold water bottle fundraisers for their nonprofit organization, and have great success with promoting their environmental consciousness with their group’s supporters. However, there are a few things you need to know before selecting which bottle you’ll use for water bottle fundraisers.
1. Age of your primary recipients
Focused on adults? If your bottles will be purchased and used primarily by adults (if you’re a church selling water bottles after services, for example), then you can pick and choose from any water bottle on the Bulletin Bottle website.
Targeting teens? If you’re a high school selling water bottles at your football games, you can choose from any water bottle on our site.
Aiming for tweens or children? This is where it gets tricky. While each water bottle we carry has passed testing for applicable FDA standards, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) mandates that we take extra precautions when selling water bottles meant PRIMARILY for children under the age of 13. We’ve written a comprehensive FAQ on CPSIA, but in a nutshell, let us know if your audience could be children under 13 so we can help you select bottles that are tested and approved for your age group and your unique needs.
Are you considering custom reusable water bottles for your next event, promotion, or fundraiser? You’re not alone! The reusable movement is gaining momentum everywhere–and Bulletin Bottle [.com] is proud to be a part of it!
We recently had the pleasure of working with KIDS for the BAY, a nonprofit organization that teaches hands-on, environmental science to children and teachers in elementary schools throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The group was planning their 20th anniversary celebration and was looking for a water bottle giveaway.
“Being an environmental education organization, it was important to us to choose a giveaway water bottle that was healthy and non-toxic,” said Sheela Shankar, Associate Director of KIDS for the BAY. “In the course of our research and after speaking with Bulletin Bottle, we quickly realized that all metal water bottles are NOT the same!”
Campaigning is in full swing and that’s exciting news if you’re part of a political organization. It also means that there’s only two more months to make sure your campaign gets maximum exposure. Want an easy, cost-effective way to do that? Whether you’re part of a national, state, or local campaign, union made water bottles are an easy way to give your name high visibility.
Water bottles are quickly gaining popularity nationwide, both as the environmentally correct choice and because consumers (and many businesses) are recognizing the financial impact that disposable drink bottles have. This means that people are using reusable bottles more than ever, and if your message is on the side of it, others will see it as well. People may tie your name to eco-friendly practices and formulate favorable name recognition.
