There are a lot of other things you can do with biker patches besides wear them. Some people use their large back patches to decorate pillows and quilts, while others frame and hang collections of smaller patches as artwork. But what about using patches for gifts and even for promotional materials? You can certainly give away patches for a number of different reasons, and they're sure to get people's attention. Here are a few ideas for giving away patches.
You can use them as gifts, of course. If you've got biker friends and need a quick and easy birthday, Christmas, or other holiday gift, pick out a few patches you know they don't have. You could even hunt down a rare patch or two you know they've been looking for. If your friends ride bikes but haven't decorated any of their motorcycle gear with patches, you can get them started.
Using embroidered patches for promotional purposes is usually something motorcycle clubs do. Sometimes, they give away patches as door prizes at events. They might give away a few patches at gatherings, too. For example, they might give a patch to the person who rode their bike the farthest to attend the meeting or to a new member. Motorcycle clubs may also have custom patches created with the name of the club on it. They could give these to members to wear. They also sometimes give away patches with club information on them to potential new members, although this can be expensive.
Finally, if you buy wholesale patches and resell them, you might do a promotional deal where you give someone a patch for free if they buy four or five from you. This is a good way of clearing out some older patches that you haven't been able to sell or as a way of getting people to buy more patches at once.
