Atari’s First Piece of Hardware in Years is a Bluetooth Hat

The classic video game company, Atari, has developed a cap with Bluetooth speakers built into the visor. The hat can connect and integrate with the wearer’s smartphone to play music, and even has a built-in microphone for phone calls.

The caps are not available to the public yet, but they’re expected to be included in a promotional swag package with a T-shirt, and a copy of Atari Flashback for PS4 or Xbox One costing around $300 for the bundle.

What’s the Real Value of Promotional Swag

Did you know that PPAI defines promotional swag in the following way?

“Promotional products—usually imprinted with a company’s name, logo, or message—include useful or decorative articles of merchandise that are used in marketing and communication programs. Imprinted products that are distributed free are called promotional products. Imprinted items given as an incentive for a specific action are known as premiums. Business gifts, awards, and commemoratives are also considered promotional products.”
