When you give branded merchandise, you’re doing more than distributing a physical item; you're creating a touchpoint between your brand and your audience. Whether that audience is employees, clients, partners or attendees, you want that touchpoint to feel thoughtful, authentic and useful. At Ethical Swag we use the Good / Better / Best framework to guide you through quantitatively different levels of impact and audience experience.

Along the way, we’ll share practical strategies for creating custom apparel that reflects your brand values and helps build a better future. Whether you’re designing team hoodies, conference tees, or retail‑ready eco gear, this guide shows how to make every stitch matter for people, planet, and brand.
