Personalized Drinking Glasses

If you run a restaurant or bar, the glassware you choose is one of the most important decisions your can make. Branded drinking glasses are now ubiquitous around watering wholes all over the world, but the question remains for many business owners: does printed glassware actually make an impact?

Since many customers are made subconsciously (for example, whether to have another drink or which item to choose from the menu), you can't always rely on your customers to tell you the truth about your branded drinking glasses. They might claim it has not impart on their buying choices or their experience at your bar, but widespread statistics tell a different story.

The impact of branded glassware

According to recent findings, taste perceptions are much more positive when customers drink from branded drinking glasses; so much so that they are prepared to pay considerably more for a drink from a branded glass than from a plastic cup. When we consider our own habits, this makes sense. If we were to pay $15 for a glass of premium wine in a restaurant, how would we react if it were served in a cardboard coffee cup? We’d feel that the presentation of the product did not accurately represent its value, which we may well complain about, no matter how good the wine tastes.

The impact of branded drinking glasses is even more significant on small businesses than those with an established client base. This is because you’re still doing the work to create brand recognition and encourage loyalty.

Uses for personalized drinking glasses

The importance of branded glassware for restaurant businesses cannot be ignored, but promotion isn’t the only use for our personalized glasses.

Parties and events

Parties and events tend to revolve around refreshments, whether alcoholic or otherwise. Therefore, you need to make sure you have enough drinks containers to go around, and that each one is suited to its purpose. If you’re hosting a trendy baby shower or bachelorette party, why not serve your drinks in cute mason jars with straws?

Business giveaways

Whether or not you run a beverage business, everyone needs drinking glasses. Branded tumblers and cups encourage brand exposure because they are designed for daily use. Glasses can be handed out at trade shows or business conventions, or put into goodie-bags as corporate gifts wrapped in tissue paper. For promotion on the go, choose one of our tumblers with lids, or opt for a light-up pint glass to create a real impact.

Weddings

Whatever kind of wedding you’re planning, you can be sure that the drinks will be flowing. If yours is a traditional ceremony, why not invest in printed champagne flutes to hand out at the reception? Each one could display the couple’s initials, as well as the date and venue of the wedding. This way, your personalized glasses can double as wedding favors and give each guest something to remember the day by.
