Mini Dive: The Gaming Industry

by | Dec 14, 2023 | Industry Deep Dives, Promotional Product Ideas | 1 comment

I remember getting my first gaming console – surprisingly, it wasn’t a Nintendo. It was a SEGA Pico. It was a brightly colored tablet sort of thing that was educational. After that, it was a PlayStation and then a Gameboy… then Game Cube. I’ll always be a console girl, though – and have currently owned almost every iteration of PlayStation.

And as the last thirty years have progressed – so has the popularity of gaming. And it’s not just video games, either. Tabletop gaming has increased in popularity with TV shows like Stranger Things and Critical Role, as well as franchise movies. But what does that have to do with promotional products? Let’s look at some numbers!

And what about those Dungeons & Dragons nerds (like myself, love a good dragon)? With TV shows and movies like Stranger Things – D&D has never been cooler.

What kind of products can you use to promote those in the gaming industry? Here are some of my favorite ideas!

    Thanks for featuring our dragon! We actually have at least 12 different available dragons, and unicorns too! We can add a logo with a branded bandana, or create a completely custom plush if you prefer! Gelatinous cube, anyone??
