Promotional Product Ideas to Support the Movember Men's Health Campaign

Are you ready for Movember? Since a lot of men participate in October's Breast Cancer Awareness activities, like NFL team players wearing pink on game days to show their support, we know women want to get equally involved in the male-oriented Movember awareness campaign. Here are some ideas on how they can, even though they can't grow a mustache.

What is Movember exactly? 

The Movember Foundation is the leading global organization committed to changing the face of men’s health. The Foundation challenges men to grow mustaches, or moustaches if you are outside the U.S., during Movember (a word combining mustache and November), to spark conversation and raise vital funds for its men’s health programs.

Guys (Mo Bros according to the charity) take action by signing up, and growing a mustache for the month of November. They ask friends and family to donate to their efforts in growing a mustache and creating conversations about men's health.

However, women (Mo Sistas) can also get involved and serve as champions for keeping the men in their lives healthier. Mo Sistas can rally their loved ones to join the movement, grow mustaches and have important conversations about men’s health.

The Movember community has raised $559 million to date and funded over 800 programs in 21 countries. 

So, if you are a woman or a business who can't grow a mustache, how can you get involved?

Using Promotional Products to Start a Conversation

Create awareness and generate conversation by showing support for the men's health movement by gifting and using Mustache-themed promotional products. 

Here are some of our favorite Mustache Promotional Products:



This ceramic mug is so fun! The mustache handle makes this a great conversation piece the office. 





Get the whole family involved with these whimsical sunglasses. Now everyone can sport a mustache this November. If these sunglasses don't attract attention and start a conversation, I don't know what will. The Wayfarer style sunglasses come in a variety of bright colors with matching color mustache and dark lenses. These would be super fun giveaways for a Mustache-themed birthday party, too. 



Add some levity to your next office meeting or hand these mustache pens out at trade shows to create awareness for the Movember Campaign. At only $1 each, these pens offer huge impact for a very small price. Restaurants can give these mustache pens to their wait staff or retailers can have them next to the cash registers so customers will get a kick out of signing their credit card receipts with the fun pens. 



Print a company logo or a men's health tip on these fun meeting, conference or event giveaways. Travel incognito, protect your secret identity, or make a fashion printed mask made from high density white poster board. This would be a fun prop to use if your event is featuring a photo booth. This mustache-themed promotional item is super cheap at .30¢ each, but again offers huge impact. 



Hand out this mustache keychain during the month of Movember, wild west celebrations, and costume-themed parties to turn up the volume on your promotional event! This item is so fun that people will be using it for months to come.
