Branded merch: 5 considerations when choosing food as merch

Jesh is our Chief Sauce Consultant. He started Saucey McSauceface when he couldn't find good brandable food.

We love the idea of hot sauce for branded merch. But why?

There's lots to consider when choosing branded merch - we think hot sauce ticks all the boxes. In this post, we'll talk through the top 5 considerations.

Shelf life

Shelf life is how long a food stays good. Generally speaking, the longer the better. If you're branding merch for a specific event, you'll want to get the order quantity right. But often it's smarter to keep the branding general so you can reuse whatever is left over at your next events or as gifts to customers.

Branded hot sauce can keep for up to a year if it's prepared properly. Our branded hot sauce merch is pasteurized so it lasts for up to a year, easily enough time to distribute it to your employees or customers.

Suitable for a wide audience

Branded hot sauce covers a wide array of dietary requirements and preferences. That's important because you don't always know who you're going to gift a bottle of branded hot sauce. Hot sauce merch can be vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, and comes in a range of spice levels (if you know where to look).

Air miles & carbon footprint

Today's food supply chain spans the globe, but it's important to be conscious of the carbon footprint of the branded merch you're purchasing. Locally sauced (see what I did there?) food can have much lower air miles and therefore carbon footprint than mass-produced plastic goods made in Asia.

All our hot sauce products are produced in the UK to minimise the food miles and carbon footprint of your merch. We also make sure the packaging is reusable and recyclable.

Easily brand-able packaging

Branded hot sauce provides the perfect canvas to tell your brand story. A branded hot sauce label provides ample opportunity to convey a message through stunning visuals, cleverly crafted copy, and even digital interaction through a QR code.

Perfect for staying top of your customers' mind or reminding employees of your company values.

Great taste

Merch is about creating a positive brand experience. That's why if you're choosing branded hot sauce, it's got to taste delicious! We might be biased, but we've got some of the best-tasting sauces in the UK. If you don't believe me, reach out and request a sample.

You're customer will be calling you up in no time to renew their contract and restock on your delicious branded hot sauce!
