Key Points

- We have account managers who can suggest what themed merchandise you can order and align it with your audience.
Who knew that a programming block that debuted on the Discovery Channel back in 1988 would become an international sensation? Shark Week, which as the name suggests features shows about sharks, is broadcast in 72 different countries annually. Shark Week falls in either July or August depending on the year, and that means the cable TV network has some interesting promotional gift packs in store for lucky shark fans.
Promotional Gifts With a Unique Logo
Part of what adds to the yearly Shark Week experience is the prize pack that Discovery Channel likes to give lucky contest entrants. This year, the Shark Week pack consists of some very fun and functional logo branded promotional products ideal for a day at the beach.
There is also a unique gift item included called an “outdoors wagon” that also boasts the Shark Week logo design. This handy cart can handle taking important camping or beach essentials over even rough terrain, including sand. If we received a pack with all those goodies in it, we’d be pretty impressed!
Get Your Brand Noticed
2020 was a tough year for everyone, there’s no doubt about it. However, things like Shark Week, which people could enjoy safely at home, helped spread a little joy during a difficult period. By ensuring that the annual prize draw went ahead, the Shark Week team at Discovery helped make things feel more consistent. The lucky winners also received branded merchandise they could continue using afterwards.
How to Emulate Discovery Channel’s Campaign
Shark Week shows how themed merchandise can support a broader campaign when the products feel relevant to the audience and experience. Some strategies businesses can take from the campaign include:
- Connect with your target audience: Discovery Channel understands its audience’s interest in sharks and creates a campaign that reflects that interest. Your merchandise should also connect with your audience’s interests, preferences, and values.
- Create unique and functional designs: The Shark Week promotional gifts are not only branded with the event’s logo but also practical and useful. Choose promotional products that look good and serve a genuine purpose.
- Utilise social media and online platforms: Use social channels to build interest around your campaign, run competitions, and encourage recipients to share how they use the merchandise.
- Collaborate with influencers and partners: Partnering with relevant creators or complementary brands can extend your campaign reach through co-branded products, events, or competitions.
Summary
Shark Week’s logo-branded promotional products work because the merchandise fits the campaign. Discovery Channel understands its audience and chooses practical outdoor products that connect naturally with the theme.
Businesses can apply the same approach by matching merchandise to their audience, choosing useful products, supporting the campaign through social media, and working with relevant partners.
