Novelty glasses and cups liven up the playing field for the drinkware contingent, make for great collectors’ items and provide numerous customization options. At Barrington, Illinois-based HOWW Manufacturing, stems such as guitar handles and cacti can be mixed and matched with various “bowls” to create a personal promotion for whatever drunk is meant to fill it. Light-up styles are also a great way to amp up the fun, while keeping all eyes on a brand name.
Can include: Acrylic or styrene shot glasses, margarita glasses, hurricane glasses and the like, which can have fun features such as light-up styles or those with shaped stems
Great for: Ball parks, theme parks, restaurants, casino and liquor promotions
Imprinting options: Some places can do up to eight spot colors and you can imprint either on the glass or even on the base.
Plan the promotion: As most novelty drinkware items are casual fare, coupling them with other party essentials such as favors, hats and CD’s is an all-in-one way to promote an event or theme night.
