Health Care Promotional Gifts And Tips For Schools
The cold and the damp winter weather bring with it a score of health concerns including flu scare. So, for marketers who are planning a socially responsible promotional campaign can highlight the fact that how much they care for the welfare of their customers by handing out health promotional items, which can be used to promote schools, awareness campaigns and other community events.
Just in the first quarter of the academic year, every school across the country faces the tough task of keeping students healthy under their care. Reports show that about 3 percent of school going kids under the age of 12 miss 11 or more days of school a year due to illnesses. So, we have listed out a few promotional items that schools can employ to keep their wards healthy and hearty and get their message out at the same time. These thoughtful gifts would surely impress not just the students but also their family and friends.
Hand Sanitizer
Hand washing is one of the easiest ways to stay healthy as it can remove germs and prevent the spread of germs to others. Students touch desks, playground equipment, door knobs and many other surfaces, which means that the students have a high risk of picking up germs. Encourage the students to wash their hands before eating or after using the restroom.
Custom hand sanitizers that are imprinted with your school’s name and message would not just keep the wards safe and healthy but will inculcate a healthy habit in them from their early years and get them feel excited about this healthy habit. It is a good idea to hand out prizes and organize friendly competitions or health quizzes in class to cement good habits in the minds of the students. Choose hand sanitizers in handy packs like Mini Keychain Sanitizer Sprays that can be customized by imprinting the school’s name or mascot to turn it into team spirit items.
Nutrition
A well balanced diet is the bed rock of a healthy life style. Nutrition should become a regular habit among kids and by handing out custom gifts like coloring books on nutrition, kids could be encouraged to eat right. Junk food and calorie laden snacks and soft drinks are found to be one of the most important reasons for obesity among kids. By spreading awareness about the importance of a well balanced diet plan, you can make your kids more health conscious.
Pedometers
Work outs are as much important as having a balanced diet for students. By handing out simple work out monitors like custom pedometers, they can be encouraged to walk regularly. Every time they see the number of strides they made, they will be interested to do more and to better their own best records. Adequate exercise during school hours and outdoor leisure activity are good options to promote an active life style to encourage kids to move more and have fun at the same time. You can even hand out prizes for students who walked the most steps.
Drink more water
Around 60% of human body is made up of water, which highlights the importance of staying hydrated. Make the students aware of the importance of drinking water. Custom gifts like logo imprinted water bottles and sports bottles are all good options to drive home this message and to prompt them to carry water wherever they go. Though the weather is cold, human body needs water at regular intervals to keep the systems working in top order. Water is good for skin and body and is one of the best natural drinks available. Kids should ideally drink 5 to 11 cups of water per day. These attractive custom water bottles are a cheeky way to encourage water consumption among students as these are easy to fill and carry.
