Take A Stand With Foam Protest Hands!

Burning Earth. A large black rectangular banner hung at the base of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square. It was a mildly cold autumn evening but the Square was animated with a fervor of over 3,000 protestors. The protestors gathered in Westminster to support the Extinction Rebellion(XR)- a global environmental, nonviolent movement that aims to persuade governments to act justly on the climate and ecological emergency. XR is but one of the thousands of protests that occurred in 2019-2020. Dubbed as the year of protests, 2019 saw a surge of movements–and in every corner of the globe, traction continued in 2020. Many of these protestors are gen z; an era of consumers who are anchored to ethics, social justice, and sustainability. In order for brands, businesses, etc., to stay relevant to gen z consumers, an explicit stand on various social and environmental issues must be transparent. Take a stand with foam protest hands.

Purpose of Protest

ADL defines protests as an event or action where people gather with others publicly to express their opinions about societal or governmental events. Protests have a variety of goals such as:

Influence public opinion
Draw attention to/share information about perceived injustice
Connect with others who are passionate about the issue
Provide inspiration
Demand change

Further, protests are done in various ways such as:

Boycotts
Speeches
Assemble near symbols and places of significance
Holding signs and banners

The most common form of protest is an assembly equipped with signs and banners. Take a fresh and unique approach with Perfect Imprints’ customizable foam protest hands.

Send A Message With Foam Protest Hands

The global protest did not occur overnight. A series of small, modest demands such as the cutback funding for school textbooks in Brazil or the taxation on WhatsApp usage in Lebanon were the catalysts of the 2019 global protest. However, by June of that year, these modest demands became sweeping movements and gained population size traction–such as the 2 million protestors in Hong Kong. As Instagram and other social media platforms capture the image of these protestors, many consumers, especially Gen Z consumers, are taking a stand to fight for or against these social changes. Further, Gen Z consumers’ demand for companies’ transparency on social issues has only heightened. Gone are the days that large businesses stay quiet during an era of change.

The powerful Gen Z

Don’t take this generation for granted. The largest groupage during the June 6th rallies were people under 35. Gen Zers. Arguably, one of the most proactive and ethically-driven generations, this era of consumers values more than just affordability and high-quality products. Gen Z consumers are engaging with brands that are:

Environmentally conscious
Transparent
Pursuing a higher social purpose

A majority of Gen Zers will not purchase from a brand that is involved in scandals. Further, transparency in the brand values is an important aspect to Gen Z consumers. A brand that takes no stance on issues will be unsuccessful in capturing this consumer group. Take a firm stand with the Numer One Foam Hand Keychain. Consider this foam protest hand as a free with every purchased product. An inexpensive incentive to show Gen Z consumers the stance of your brand or business.
