Swag That Doesn’t Suck Checklist

Stop Ordering Swag Nobody Wants to Wear

Most company swag ends up in a drawer, donated, or downgraded to gym-only status. Not because the idea was bad, but because nobody stopped to ask whether employees would actually want it.

This checklist walks you through the questions that matter before you place an order. Quality checks, sizing considerations, seasonal fit, employee choice, and logistics planning. Everything that separates swag people keep from swag people forget.

Run through the checklist before your next order and skip the part where HR becomes a warehouse.
