With Dry January just around the corner, this is a great opportunity for your business to show your support to those employees who will be taking the pledge and branded products, such as metal water bottles, are a great tool to help you do this.
Dry January is a campaign run by the charity Alcohol Change UK, where individual’s pledge to have no alcohol throughout the whole month of January and is aimed at encouraging millions to take a break from and reset your relationship with alcohol.
A month without alcohol has been found to have a range of health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of diabetes and reducing the levels of cancer-related proteins in the blood.
The benefits of Dry January have also been found to span far wider than just the month of January, with 72% of people who take part still drinking more healthily six months after taking part.
What can you do for Dry January?
As a business you can support the campaign through promoting it internally within your business, making employees aware of the campaign and encouraging individuals to take part, to help improve health and wellbeing across all levels of the business.
Branded products are a great tool you can utilise internally, to promote key messages and topics, such as mental health and wellbeing and with the focus of Dry January being around healthy lifestyle, branded water bottles are a great way to encourage this.
If you already have employees who have taken the pledge, there is a great opportunity available for you to show them your support and really get behind them, helping to build great relationships with employees and create a culture where the health and wellbeing of staff is clearly valued.
Once again, branded merchandise is a great way to support your employees. Handing out branded water bottles is a great example of how you can show your support and encourage healthy living and hydration. These water bottles can be personalised with your business logo and branding, alongside the details of the Dry January campaign and charity. You could even add a few ‘recipe’ ideas for healthy drinks they can try out throughout the month.
Why choose metal water bottles?
Metal water bottles are a great choice for businesses who are looking to invest in quality branded products that represent their brand and reflect their green agenda. The benefits they offer include:
-
They are eco-friendly and recyclable.
-
They are much more durable than plastic bottles and can be used multiple times.
-
They are safe - plastic bottles are thought to be potentially harmful to your health when used regularly, due to potential harmful carcinogens in the plastic.
-
They can be used to keep your drink hot or cold for longer periods of time, due to their insulating properties.
