It's that time of year again when the race that stops the nation, well, stops a nation. Spring Carnival is a popular time in Australia but no other day on the racing calendar has quite the same impact as Melbourne Cup Day. But if you're a fan of racing, how do you show your love for the sport this time of year? It turns out there are some popular promotional product styles that perfectly suit horse racing and other spring activities.

1) Promotional Sports Polo Shirts

One of the most popular products we get inquiries for this time of year, particularly from racing fans and club members, is the humble logo emblazoned polo shirt. Stylish enough to be worn to most outdoor locations, but not so formal as to make the wearer look overdressed, these shirts are very popular among race club members for leisure days. For that added touch of class, we embroider your logo onto the chest of the shirt -- wonderful option for those planning outdoor activities.

2) Stubby Holders With Club Logos

If there's one thing Aussies like to do on cup day, it has a drink. Enjoying a fresh beverage is also popular on regular race or club meet days. That's why promotional stubby coolers are some of our best selling items for horse racing fans. Use them to boost your organisation's visibility, or as part of a sponsored giveaway, they'll be sure to get used down at the track! If you'd like something a little different, but along the same lines we've got custom horse bottle opener keyrings as well.

3) Logo Printed Sports Umbrellas

Finally, a product that is particularly helpful for Victorian race-goers; a large custom golf umbrella. As any resident will tell you, rain can be quite unpredictable in Melbourne, so it's customary to take a sizable umbrella with you to the races for additional protection. Whether you end up using your umbrella to shelter from the rain or hide from the sun, these items are all over the race carnivals and a great way to get your logo seen.

4) Promotional Selfie Sticks

Finally, if you're out at an event like the races nothing can beat having a promotional selfie stick with you for taking photos of moments you'll want to remember. Great as gifts for young people and the older crowds alike, they're sure to be used at the races and many events to come.

So there you have it, great ideas to keep your campaigns fresh and interesting. Looking for something a little more premium? Ask our sales team for product suggestions and don't forget to bet sensibly!
