We all love promotional lip balms and chapsticks; they keep our lips moisturised and protected from the sun's harmful rays. They're also just that bit more special when they have a delicious flavouring, particularly when it's a natural and delicious option. But what about all the other lip balm flavours out there? Did you know there's a whole assortment of gross and obscure flavours out there? We decided to check out some of the weirdest lip care options around.

• Stand out with weird lip balm flavours.
• Boost your brand with custom packaging.
• Create unique lip balms for special occasions.

Weird Custom Lip Balm Flavours

We're all fairly used to lip balm flavours like strawberry, natural honey, mint, or even a simple unflavoured/ beeswax taste. However, the internet is a gateway to all manner of poor lip balm choices, and we're getting an absolute kick out of some of these real and legit flavoured balms.

Sriracha Flavoured Lip Balm

Everyone and their uncle loves the spicy Rooster Sauce, and now you can have that flavour on your lips all day. These promotional lip balms would definitely surprise someone who kissed you if you didn't make them aware first.

Froot Loops Lip Balm

All the delicious faux fruit flavour you've come to expect from the Kellogg's breakfast cereal only now you can smear it directly onto your lips! Oh, happy days.

Betty Crocker Strawberry Mist Frosting Lip Balm

Now that's a mouthful of a name and an absolute hell of a flavour. Perfect for when you're not sure if you want strawberry lip balm or some kind of whipped frosting abomination lip balm. Combine the two and see what happens!

Pickle Flavour Lip Balm

I'm not sure why you'd do this to yourself, but it's good to know people like you have options.

Strawberry Marshmallow Peeps Lip Balm

We don't have Peeps in Australia (thankfully our strict quarantine laws keep these sickening marshmallow wads out - citation needed). However, having spent some time in the US, I can tell you they taste like pure formless sugar, so this may well be the best promotional lip balm on this list.

Branded Bacon Lip Balm

And finally, we reach the pinnacle of modern human accomplishment, bacon lip balm. Sure we've made a lot of scientific and medical advances, but isn't this really what it's all been about? Lips that taste like delicious bacon 24/7. Truly a modern miracle.

Promotional Lip Balm Branding Ideas 

Aside from novelty and uniqueness, a great way to promote your brand with lip balms is by adding a personalised touch. Here are some branding ideas that can make your promotional lip balm stand out:

• Customised Packaging: Adding your logo to the packaging and designing it with custom colours and graphics can make your lip balm stand out from the rest. The packaging cost can be a bit higher initially, but it is a long term marketing strategy, providing a positive first impression of your brand.
• Mix and Match Flavours: Consider mixing and matching your promotional lip balm flavours according to the theme of your event or audience. For example, if your target audience is more health-conscious, you could pair flavours like Acai or Green Tea and design it with nature-inspired packaging.
• Seasonal Flavours: Adding seasonal-themed flavours along with seasonal packaging can make your lip balm promotional products stand out. For instance, choose Mint and Candy Cane flavours during Christmas or Pumpkin Spice for the fall season.
• Unique Shapes and Sizes: In addition to creative packaging, lip balm forms can also vary and add a fun twist to your promotional products. Customise the shape and size of your lip balms with themes like snowflakes or hearts to make them more appealing.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, adding weird or unusual flavours to your promotional lip balms is a fun and unique way to make them stand out. However, don't forget that branding is equally important. Incorporating creative branding ideas like custom packaging, seasonal and mix and match flavours, and unique shapes can help establish your brand in the industry and drive customer engagement. Remember, promotional products are powerful marketing tools that can drive brand visibility, foster customer loyalty, and, in turn, increase sales.
