2. Customised designs spark conversations and connections.
3. Durable socks ensure continuous brand exposure.

How this Strange Day Came About

Most people I know have a love-hate relationship with socks. They get lost in the wash all the time. If you do manage to locate all of them, pairing them up is a nightmare. (My sock secret, is to buy the exact same sock for my entire collection. This way there is less fumbling).

Celebrate national sock day by wearing socks! The national day for socks began was registered in October 2016. Since then 3 years ago, it is a day that is recognised each year. 

Types of Promotional Socks 

It was not that long ago that there was only one type of sock. The regular sock which came in "one sized fits all" and generally the size was up to about the quarter way up to your calf.

Today though, there are all sorts of socks:

• Knee-high socks
• Sports compression socks
• Travel compression socks
• Business socks
• Casual socks
• ankle socks

In the last 5 years, the use of socks as fundraising or promotional items has exploded in popularity. You would see colourful socks available as promotional merchandise, through soccer teams, basketball teams, AFL football teams, Rugby teams and more. In many events, such as concerts, the use of full colour printed socks as souvenirs is popular too. Consider purchasing promotional socks for your company, organisation or event!
