Trends to Know About Branded Merch in 2025

Branded merchandise is more than just pens, t-shirts, and drawstring bags. It’s a strategic plan to enhance customer experience, build brand loyalty and drive engagement. Prisma uses six key trends that are shaping the future of branded merch.  

1. Sustainability: Non-Negotiable 

It comes to no surprise that consumers are prioritizing eco-conscious choices. They are willing to pay more money on products that reflect their values, being ethically sourced, recyclable, or made from sustainable materials. Prisma helps brands invest in high-quality sustainable products that can reduce waste and build trust with their consumers.  

2. Durability is Valuable 

Consumers don’t desire disposable products anymore; today’s consumers expect merch that lasts. They crave premium products that cost more upfront but deliver a long-term ROI through repeated use. Prisma can help your brand maximize value by matching the right product to the right audience ensuring your investment pays off. Through our Branded Merchandise, you can make products your own, with custom creation or embroidery.  

3. Smart Tagging 

Branded merchandise is not one-size fits all, consumers are looking for personalization. Know your target market and tailor products specifically to who they are and their needs. Handing out the same item to everyone wastes the budget and is a missed opportunity to make a lasting impression or a loyal customer.  

4.  Branding That Tells YOUR Story 

Your logo is just the beginning. The messaging, design and purpose behind your merch reflects your values. Make an everyday item into a branded moment that sparks conversations and aligns with a purpose.  

5. Community Builder 

Seasonal drops, limited-edition runs and collaborations create a sense of belonging for consumers. When they feel part of something it makes them more loyal, engaged and connected to the brand.  

6. Building Culture 

Whether your company has a hybrid culture, or is located all across the globe, branded merchandise helps unite teams and create a more positive company culture. Align internal merchandise with company values that make people proud to represent their company. Internal merchandise can build culture and keep teams connected no matter their location.
