Energy drink as a promotional item: 7 use cases from Switzerland
A drink works where people gather and get thirsty. These seven scenarios come up most often in our projects.
Published: 2026-08-06 · Reading time: 5 min

1. Trade fairs and exhibitions
At a booth, a cold can opens conversations. It keeps visitors at the stand and ends up in photos. Plan roughly 150 to 300 cans per fair day at medium footfall.

2. Recruiting and employer branding
At career fairs and university events a branded can beats a flyer: it gets taken along and shown around. With a QR code it leads straight to your jobs page.
3. Construction, trades and logistics
Where work is physical, a drink is useful rather than a gimmick. 500 ml is the better format here, and isotonic reads more credible than energy.
4. Sports sponsoring and clubs
Clubs sell the can at home games and refinance part of the sponsorship. For sponsors that means logo presence in the stadium, in the fridge and in social posts.
5. Client and employee gifts
As an add-on in a parcel, a Christmas greeting or an onboarding kit. Combined with a shipping box for 1 to 3 cans it becomes a mailable gift.
6. Product launches and anniversaries
A limited can makes a date tangible. It works as a press add-on and as a photo motif for internal communication.
7. Hospitality and hotels
Your own drink in the fridge instead of a third-party brand: better margin, consistent branding. Private-label water in 330 ml complements the in-room offer.
