Celebrating EMS Week With Promotional Products
“To conserve life, alleviate suffering, promote health, do no harm, and encourage the quality and equal availability of emergency medical care”
Code of Ethics for EMS practitioners.
Roughly 1 million licensed EMS professionals have taken this pledge to serve their community by providing life-saving emergency medical care. Vital to disaster response, EMS workers include first responders, emergency medical technicians, and paramedics. One of the capeless heroes of society, EMS workers endure stressful situations and risk their lives in order to aid others. Their presence is irreplaceable. So as EMS week approaches, it's time to show your appreciation to these public service heroes. From corporate companies to local small businesses, let's all commemorate EMS week together.
Host A Fundraiser During EMS Week
EMS week presents a special opportunity for your company to show support and connect with the community. During the week of May 15th through the 22nd, plan a fundraiser in the local community where all the proceeds go towards fallen EMS families. The proceeds are to help alleviate some financial burden on families who are struggling with the loss of a loved one during their line of work. There are multiple ways to do this such as prompting donation options during a transaction or selling EMS week promotional products. A Global Ad Impressions Study reveals the top 3 widely owned promotional products that your business should be selling this EMS week.
Inspiration for Community Giveaways From Other EMS Agencies
Writing Instruments
Everyone needs a pen. Whether it’s an economical pen (patient pen) or a fancy pen, writing instruments are going to be popular. Further writing instruments can serve as the perfect gift for retired first responders. Consider premium pens for your EMS crew as a thank you gift during EMS week.

Drinkware
If your business is in the sports industry or the food and beverage industry, drinkware is the productional product you need to have available during EMS week. If your business caters to fitness enthusiasts or sports fans consider something like the 26 oz Yeti Bottle. With an already established following, the Yeti bottle is a great promotional item for EMS week.
For restaurants and cafes, Custom Coffee Mugs and Barware are a go-to. Much like the sports industry your restaurant or cafe already has a loyal following. Use this advantage during EMS week and feature custom mugs such as the 16 oz Campfire Mug. Consider. If you are a coffee shop offer a deal of a free drink of choice with a purchase of the 16 oz Campfire mug. If you are a restaurant offer the same promo but with beer or other alcoholic beverages. For example, let's say you feature a Custom Pint Glass as your promotional product for EMS week. The customer gets a free pint of beer with a purchase of the custom pint glass and some kind of discount for a refill. Regulars are sure to scoop up your limited edition item and attach the attention of new customers.
