Well-wishers all over the world were glued to the television over the weekend watching Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle tie the knot. People in the US woke up at 4 am to watch the event on TV, while Australians were observing from 9 pm on Saturday evening. To say the royal wedding was a huge event would be a serious understatement! Perhaps unsurprisingly then, the promotional gift bags that Harry and Meghan distributed to guests have become seriously hot property online this week.

1. Promotional products create brand awareness.
2. They are cost-effective and useful.
3. Unique products generate interest and buzz.

Promotional Wedding Totes Everybody Wants

Like many brides and grooms, Harry and Meghan wanted to give their near 2500 guests some memorable gifts to help remember their special day. What they perhaps weren't expecting is that demand for memorabilia would be so desperate in the wider community that guests would begin auctioning off their custom printed jute bags on eBay and other websites for thousands of dollars!

What's Inside the Custom Jute Bags?

Although this wedding was a royal affair, the actual assortment of gifts in the bag was very standard for modern weddings (here at Cubic Promote we've produced very similar gift bags dozens of times over). These custom gifts included;

• A large chocolate coin
• A custom box of shortbreads
• A bottle of water with a wedding label
• A branded magnet
• A coupon for the Windsor Castle gift shop
• A sheet of service details
• A large, promotional jute gift bag to hold all the gifts

These are very standard wedding gifts, quaint without being over-the-top or overly indulgent despite the royal occasion.

So Why Does Everyone Want One?

The demand for these gift bags is so high in part because there were so few packs produced. Around 2460 guests attended and given most attendees probably want to keep their wedding gift bags as a memento; there would be very few parties willing to give them up! This has led to a serious demand for limited edition products branded for an exceptional, one-off event. People are paying up to $12,000AU for one of these bags! And while the royal family aren't likely to be happy at the idea of these romantic custom gifts being sold off, most of the attendees/sellers are hoping to donate the money raised to charity -- so that's something, right?
