In order to succeed in capturing this group of consumers, your business must consider what will be most useful. Lucky, Perfect Imprints has the solution. Here are 5 promotional products for the next Chicago construction job.
Gearing Up
When we see construction workers at a site, typically they are equipped with bright orange safety vests or bright neon shirts. Workers’ visibility is enhanced by high color contrast which allows them to be seen. This apparel increases construction safety and is part of their personal protective equipment or PPE. Perfect Imprints has a wide selection of safety apparel from safety hats to safety jackets. Apparel such as the Median safety long sleeve shirt. 100% polyester birdseye mesh and coming in both lime green and orange, this long sleeve will not only keep workers safe but also serve as an eye-catching advertising piece for your business. Safety apparel is a must-have for your next Chicago construction job.
Be Seen In The Windy City!
Similar to safety apparel, reflector lights are an important piece of PPE. Typically inexpensive, reflector lights added supplementary visibility and protection. Perfect Imprints takes it to the next level with our flashing reflector light. Featuring 3 LED light settings (solid, blinking, flashing left to right) and an on/off control button on the back, this flashing reflector is sure to light up the construction job with your brand.
Protective Gear For The Construction Job
Safety glasses are a no-brainer. Hazards can be avoided by equipping construction workers with protective eyepieces. Safety glasses protect against:
- Foreign objects or debris
- Extremely bright or unsafe light
- Prevent eye illnesses
- Chemicals and Pesticides
Perfect Imprints safety glasses feature a wrap-around design that is sleek and lightweight-built for a universal fit and comfort for long periods of wear. Further, these glasses are made with scratch and impact-resistant lenses that exceed FDA and ANSI standards. Ideal for the construction job and that famous Chicago wind, these safety glasses are essential.
Leatherman Micra
The Leatherman Micra is a popular mini-tool with anglers, hobbyists, and spring-action scissors. Its compactable size is perfect for any tackle box or pocket, making it a handy product for construction workers. The key to this item is that it becomes personal to whomever you give it to. This means your brand/business will be remembered. According to PPW, 88% of promotional product recipients remember the name of the advertiser on the product. The Leatherman Micra is the perfect memorable tool to give at your next Chicago construction job.
