Find out why custom earbuds are the standout gift your team will love!
Keeping employees happy and motivated is essential to building a successful company. While gift cards have their place, they aren’t always the most memorable or useful ways to show appreciation. So, how do you give a gift that stands out and feels personal?
That’s where custom branded earbuds can come into play.
Why Employee Appreciation Matters More Than Ever
Employee retention is a big deal as turnover can be costly, time-consuming and disruptive to your organization. But when employees feel valued, they tend to stay with your company, work harder and speak positively about your company. In fact, employees who receive promotional products from their company tend to stay with that organization 1.5 years longer than those who don't according to a study done by Quality Logo Products of 5,000 American workers.
Showing your employees they’re appreciated through a personalized gift, like custom earbuds, is a way to invest in their happiness and well-being.
Custom printed earbuds make for a high-impact gift. Whether employees use them for work calls, personal playlists, podcasts or e-books on their commute, it’s something that becomes a part of their daily routine.
Why Custom Earbuds Make the Ideal Employee Gift
Take a moment to think about how often you see people using earbuds throughout their day. They’re everywhere like on the commute if you are taking public transit, at the gym and also at desks. Giving custom earbuds as a gift ensures that your employees will appreciate and use them daily, creating a lasting connection between the gift and your company.
Earbuds are not only functional but can also be personalized with your company’s branding or a personal touch. Whether it’s a subtle logo on the case or customized packaging, these gifts show that you’ve put thought into the gesture and make employees feel genuinely appreciated.
Why Custom Earbuds Are Perfect for Corporate Holiday Gifts
The holiday season is a prime opportunity to express gratitude and custom earbuds are an excellent choice for corporate gifts. During the holidays, employees want a gift that can simply be used everyday and custom earbuds can deliver on that expectation in a way that’s thoughtful and unique.
Last year, I worked with a bank based in North Carolina that was looking for a way to show their employees some extra appreciation around the holidays. They decided to order the Skullcandy Indy Evo True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds as gifts and the response was incredible. The bank’s representative for the order told me the earbuds were an absolute hit and the employees loved them!
A year later, I checked back in with her and she said she still uses those Skullcandy earbuds every single day and she sees tons of her coworkers using them regularly too. That’s the kind of lasting impact you want when giving corporate gifts; something useful and memorable that sticks around long after the holidays.

Include Additional Branded Items
Custom earbuds are an impressive gift on their own but pairing them with additional branded items can make the gift even more special. Many of our clients choose to bundle their custom earbuds with items that enhance the gift and create a complete experience for their employees.
For example, a lot of companies pair their custom earbuds (especially the Custom AirPods) with a 3-in-1 travel charger or a wireless charging station. These charging accessories are perfect complements as they can keep their earbuds powered up and ready to go.
Another popular option is adding custom charging cables, which you can find here, or branded power banks, available here. These extras are highly appreciated, especially for employees who are frequently on the go or working remotely.
In addition to tech accessories, we’ve also seen many clients pair earbuds with custom branded drinkware. Creating a "workout pack" by combining earbuds with a custom water bottle or tumbler, like those found here, gives employees everything they need to stay hydrated and motivated, whether they’re at the gym, out for a run or simply staying focused during a workday.
When it comes to employee appreciation the goal is to give something that’s meaningful and memorable. Custom printed earbuds check all those boxes.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, now’s the perfect time to start planning how to show your employees that they’re valued. Custom printed earbuds are not only a thoughtful gift but also one that your team will use and appreciate long after the holidays.
