Back to School Gifts for all Ages

By Peggy Doherty

Back to school is exciting for every grade—whether it’s preschool or graduate school. Think about all the possible items to personalize and gifts for those starting a new adventure.

Preschool and elementary school children may like personalized pens, backpacks, lunch boxes, stickers, and labels for books and binders.

Middle school age children will enjoy personalized phone cases, labels for spirit wear, keepsake boxes to display awards, picture frames to capture accomplishments, and more. 

For high school, college, and beyond, it’s all about celebrating the accomplishments and cherishing the memories. Everyone has something to celebrate! Items to promote include monogrammed backpacks, travel bags, personalized water bottles, picture frames, sports apparel, jewelry, and personalized phone or tablet cases.

There are endless opportunities. It’s up to you to let people know you have products they need. Post a variety of items on your social media platforms to demonstrate what you can provide. Let people know you are the go-to resource for creative back-to-school items.

And don’t forget to celebrate the teachers. Encourage people to acknowledge both new and seasoned teachers. The new school year is an adventure for everyone involved.

Use social media to make a splash!

• “Like” all the schools and universities in your community.
• Post images of available products.
• Provide suggestions on types of gifts that students enjoy.
• Invite others to follow you on Facebook.
• View the Awards and Personalization Association marketing webinars for additional tips to promote your business.
