It’s coming soon to a screen near you. There will be no getting away from it unless you try really hard and cut yourself off from all human and electronic contact and live at the top of some far distant hill for the duration.

However, most people, even those who generally don’t follow football, find it difficult to resist the tide of interest and hype that goes hand in hand with the World Cup.

Antibac Pens Up the Anti for Promotional Pens

March 10th, 2010

Promotional pens have been, and will probably continue for the foreseeable future, to be one of the most popular promotional gifts available. With so many pens, designs, colours, materials and styles available to choose from, you would wonder if there could be anything really original about a new pen.

Well….it seems there can! The Antibac Pen is a unique and innovative promotional pen which takes promotional pens to another level. This clever pen not only gives you all the usual benefits of a good promotional pen, but it offers something other pens cannot. The groundbreaking antibacterial qualities of this pen can protect users against the spread of superbugs.

Pens can be a common way of spreading diseases in communal situations such as offices, schools, supermarkets, banks, and in particularly susceptible places such as hospitals, clinics and doctors’ surgeries. The antibac properties of the antibac pen actually kill over 99% of harmful bacteria and viruses due to the active formula moulded into the fabric of the pen itself. Because it is part of the make-up of the pen, rather than being superficially coated after manufacture, the antibac properties remain active for the lifetime of the pen, thus protecting all users from cross infection. To maintain their integrity, the antibac formula is also present in the inks used to personalize these pens.

Choosing the promotional Antibac Pen now to have imprinted with your company branding, will give you a head start on the competition, before everyone finds out about it and jumps on the bandwagon. Make sure your target audience understand what an amazing pen you have given them and bask in the glory of a job well done. They will appreciate the consideration, innovation and concern in your choice of promotional gifts. The positive response will be immediate and genuine.

Payback will be swift!

Promotional Conference Bags – a Good First Choice When Selecting Promotional Products for Conference or Meetings.

February 23rd, 2010

There are so many useful and appropriate promotional gifts to put together to make a complete conference package, but importantly, you need something to keep everything together and organized.

The perfect promotional conference bag for your event will depend on what you need your bag to do for you, as well as the requirements of your target audience. If you just want something for your attendees to be able to carry things around while making sure your company name and marketing messages are clearly seen everywhere, you may only need a simple printed Carrier Bag or re-useable Tote Bag. A more structured approach, needing distribution of information or multiple promotional products, would suggest a need for a more substantial promotional Conference Bag. This could feature a series of pockets to accommodate different items, such as promotional pads and pens, calculators, USBs and any other promotional items or information you want to put together.

If you are organizing an internal conference for your employees, you may want to offer a more substantial imprinted bag which can be used on other business and corporate occasions. Here you might consider a high quality business bag to safely carry a laptop or other company materials, or perhaps one on wheels to ease the daily burden.

Whichever promotional bag will best suit your needs and those of your targeted audience, PG Branding can have it imprinted to your exact specifications to create a promotional gift which will be highly appreciated and repeatedly used to make sure your company logo is seen out and about in all the right places.

Promotional Gifts Can be Used Every Day – Don’t Wait for a Special Occasion

January 15th, 2010

Promotional gifts are such an excellent marketing tool, that they should be part of everyday dealings with customers and business contacts old and new. Promotional products are so successful at building bridges, bringing in the business and generally oiling the wheels of commerce, that no company should be without them.

Promotional merchandise doensn’t have to be expensive to be extremely good at delivering your marketing messages and promoting your brand. As long as your chosen promotional gifts are of a reasonable quality and deemed to be useful and of some value to the recipient, they will work hard for your marketing investment. Such everyday promotional items as printed mugs, pens, umbrellas, mousemats, coasters, keyrings, t-shirts and bags of all kinds can work extremely well. This is the reason they are all popular as promotional products. If you try and match your chosen promotional merchandise with your particular campaign or just to compliment your company brand colours, they will have an added element to support your company marketing push and remain in the minds of your target audience.

Ensure you have your company details imprinted on your promotional gifts so your customers can easily get in touch when they want to buy your products or services, and the payback will be great.

Warm Up Your Customers with Promotional Mugs

January 13th, 2010

Feeling cold with the current hard winter weather, and warming up with a tasty cup of soup, just got me thinking how promotional mugs are particularly appropriate at the moment. So many of us are keeping the hot drinks flowing now, that you can ride the rising tide of tea and coffee (and cuppa-soup) to deliver your marketing messages at a point when they’ll be most appreciated. Promotional mugs are great all-round promotional gifts as they are so useful, are repeatedly used and re-used, and are often shared around offices so your artwork is seen often and by many. There is such a good area for print on a promotional mug that you have the opportunity to get plenty of information on there, or just make a great colourful splash – whatever works for you!

…and as we’re such a nation of tea drinkers, your promotional mugs will still be working for you when the weather picks up and we can come out from under our winter woolies, come rain or shine!
