May is the unofficial start to summer, which means people will soon be heading outdoors and firing up their grills. Whether they’re grilling steak or seafood or burgers or brats, brands can be part of the fun with promotional products.

In this issue of Promotional Consultant Today we’re serving a few promotional products that can add some sizzle to National Barbecue Month this May. Use them for employee recognition or consumer prizes to help backyard grillers feel like professional pit masters.

Plan For This Promo:
What: National Barbecue Month
When: May

Just Peachy


The Peach Grilling Sauce satisfies all taste buds, whether it’s used as a marinade for meats or mixed with cream cheese for a savory cracker dip. Made from a blend of Georgia peaches, Vidalia onions and hot chili peppers, this sauce packs a subtle but distinct heat. Brands can add a logo and messaging on the label.

On The Flip Side


Featuring a non-slip plastic handle, serrated edge for tenderizing meat and a bottle opener built right in, the Char House BBQ Spatula will become a grillmaster favorite. It’s made from heavy-duty stainless steel, so this promotional product will keep a brand’s name visible year after year.
