10 LED Bar Promotional Ideas to Level Up your Drinks Marketing in 2022!

Needless to say, the Covid-19 pandemic caught the world by surprise. Companies in all industries, including drinks, have been massively affected by the outbreak. But in 2021, restrictions started to loosen up; thus, businesses began to plan on how to recover what they’ve lost.

If you’re running a drink business and still in the recovery process, you must be getting a hard time getting on track. How about using these LED bar promotional ideas?

An LED is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Adding it to any promotional products can make them more catchy and appealing. It also brings your promotion to life in the sense that it draws more attention.

Using LED promotional items can help brighten the product and easily capture consumer attention. They’re perfect for bars because they make your brand more noticeable, especially in dark spaces.

LED lamps are also energy-efficient and longer-lasting in contrast with fluorescent lights.

Over the years, we have done tons of case studies on promotions done by drinks companies and also shared some unique promotional gift ideas.

Top 10 LED Bar Promotional Ideas for Drink Brands

1. LED Ice Buckets

These ice buckets as seen in the picture was branded promotional merchandise done by Johnie Walker. This is a genius idea since ice buckets are almost always used in most bars and people can be reminded of your brand as they douse their drinks in ice, waiting for them to chill.

Also, because of the LED function, it is easily visible from across the room and helps increase brand awareness. Definitely a great marketing technique.

2. LED Napkin Holder

One of the most amazing things about this napkin holder is that it comes with a bottle holder so it is a 2 in one package.

Depending on the interior decoration of the bar, custom LED lights can be a fantastic choice.

They can also be customized into whatever shape or style you like that is right in sync with your brand. They are the kind of lights that show off your brand.

You can make it your brand name or logo or any image that is familiar with your brand. Either way, it is perfect for advertising your brand.

This is because they will always come in handy and there would always be a use for them. Aside from their relevance in bars, this can also be used as a promotional gift for those in your target audience who like to drink in style.
