Promotional Gifts – Giving you a Head Start for 2010

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Now’s the time when the old year is coming to an end and we start to think and plan ahead for the next one. At this time of year, the plans you had have either been successful and led to a fruitful conclusion, or perhaps things didn’t really work out as they should. If it was good, you will want to build on the back of it and repeat the process or go to the next level. If you’d rather forget about what happened in 2009, then the New Year offers the opportunity to learn from the past and put realistic plans into place for 2010.

In business, these last few days before Christmas can be the best time to take stock and start moving forward into the coming year. Outlining your plans and marketing needs at this point, if you haven’t already done the job, means that you can hit the ground running when we all return to work in January.

When it comes to selecting promotional gifts to support and compliment your upcoming marketing campaigns, the sooner you get your order in, the quicker you will be able to get into your stride and work towards building your business for a great bottom line next year. Even if you don’t have a specific marketing campaign in the pipeline, now is a good time of year to supplement your general stock of on-going promotional gifts such as promotional mugs, pens, key rings, coasters, mouse mats, USB’s, umbrellas, T-shirts and caps. With the current spell of ‘proper’ winter weather, which looks like it may stay for a while, it might also be a good idea to consider some seasonal promotional gifts such as ice scrapers, flasks, insulated travel mugs, fleeces or promotional torches, any or all of which will be greatly appreciated by your target audience.

Everyone likes to get something for nothing, and promotional items provide a great incentive to entice new customers and underpin the loyalty of your existing customers. Get in there first in 2010 before your competitors do and start the year as you mean to go on!

Promotional Branded Gifts Reflect the Quality of Your Company.

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Your choice of promotional gifts is always a reflection of the quality and aspirations of your company and the products or services you offer. Clearly you will want to create the right image with your promotional merchandise, and one way you can ensure that you are sending the right messages is by selecting your gifts from a recognised brand. Your target audience will see your unique artwork featured alongside a well-known brand which portrays a trusted quality image, and immediately associate your company with similar qualities. It is an easy way to support the endorsement and loyalty of your company by your customers, clients and business associates.

To source your imprinted products choose a well-established and experienced promotional gifts company, such as PG Branding, who can offer you a good range of recognised branded products from which to make your selection. When you have your own bespoke company artwork added to these excellent gifts, the result will be promotional merchandise to be proud of, and which will serve to show a great return on your investment.

Now’s the Time to Take Stock of Your Promotional Gifts.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

With the year drawing to a close, and whether it has been good, bad or indifferent for business, many companies are looking forward to a better year in 2010.

Looking forward and hoping for a better future is something that most of us do at this time of year. Planning for success is crucial to achieving your goals. Creating that winning picture is only the beginning of the process; you then need to start putting some aims, objectives and actions into place. Planning to increase business almost inevitably involves some kind of marketing strategy to increase the customer base and create new opportunities.

Whatever else is included in a well structured advertising campaign, promotional merchandise is an extremely important part of the planning and budget. They can make the difference between a mediocre and a great achievement, as it is widely accepted that promotional items can be the most memorable method of advertising and create more customer recall than other more costly media. There may be several layers of promotional gifts necessary to meet all marketing requirements, and consideration needs to be given to the demographics of the target group, the possible theme of the campaign and the budget available, in order to successfully select the perfect promotional items.

As well as specific or specialised promotional products, there may also be a need to keep a stock of tried and tested promotional ‘basics’, which have proved their worth as promotional tools and earn their popularity by creating a great return on your investment. Such promotional ‘superstars’ are such everyday useful items as imprinted mugs, plastic and metal pens, key rings, coasters, t-shirts, pads, pencils, flash drives and umbrellas, all of which appeal to large sections of the population.

Now is a good time to take stock and plan your promotional merchandise needs for next year. Allow plenty of time to source, imprint and deliver your unique promotional gifts, particularly if they are out of the ordinary or may need to be shipped from overseas.

Promotional Mugs are Great Promotional Christmas Gifts

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Although promotional mugs can obviously be selected as promotional products all year round, Christmas provides a particular opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to your customers, clients and colleagues for their custom and loyalty for the past year, and build contacts for the coming year.

A good mug is always appreciated, and Christmas is a good time to give a promotional gift that will create goodwill that will spill over into the coming year. It will be a welcome gift which will impart the feel-good factor towards your company every time the recipient enjoys a good cuppa from it. It will take your company promotion right into the following year, displaying your logo and branding messages time after time.

To make your mug particularly desirable and effective as a promotional gift, try to choose an attractive shape or colour, or even consider a slightly more expensive china mug. Gift boxes are also available to enable you to gift-wrap your gift for the festive season. Another idea to lend a more seasonal air to your promotional gift is to fill it with Christmas Sweets or Chocolates; this would make an even greater impact for a small extra investment.

Don’t forget to have your chosen mug imprinted with your logo and any messages you wish to impart to your target audience… and here’s to lots more business in the New Year!

Promotional Wall Clocks Get Your Company Noticed Time after Time

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

I think most of us probably rely on a wall clock somewhere, either at home or in the office, to keep us on track with timing our busy lives. It’s something that is possibly looked at hundreds of times a day. If you are considering promotional gifts to promote your business and increase brand awareness, such a useful and conspicuous item as a promotional wall clock could be a well-timed addition to your marketing mix. The large print area available on the face of most standard wall clocks lends itself to carrying your promotional artwork, delivering your marketing messages and displaying your branding in a regular and timely manner. Investing your marketing budget in this way means that just one promotional item, well placed on the wall of your targeted offices, could serve to keep your products and services front of mind in several of your targeted customers or contacts at the same time. This could be supplementary to or in place of other more individual and personalised promotional items such as pens, mugs and coasters which can so often found around offices.

Your choice of promotional wall clocks will be in response to your brief and budget. Standard circular promotional wall clocks are available in a range of sizes and colours and can be printed with up to 4 colours on the clock face, while a digital wall clock offers a contemporary stylish option, which may include additional functions such as month, day, date, countdown, alarm, snooze temperature and 12/24 hour display.

Any of these promotional wall clocks, when imprinted with your bespoke artwork, will produce attractive and useful promotional merchandise to support your campaign or project. It will be well accepted by your target audience, providing a service for them and working to deliver your marketing messages day after day.

Promotional Soapboxes and Fresh Wipes – Hygiene Items Have Never Been More Relevant.

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Health and hygiene issues have always been important, but with the threat of Swine Flu abounding at the moment, anything we can do to minimise the risk of infection is greatly appreciated. You can tap into this for your marketing purposes. If you provide promotional products which help to reduce the spread of infections and diseases, you are sending out the message that you are considerate of and caring towards your customers, clients and colleagues. This positive emotion is always good to elicit in your target audience. If you present a thoughtful image and provide well chosen and practical promotional merchandise, this will reflect positively on your company and work well to building customer loyalty and bring you the business.

Our promotional Soapbox presents scented soap papers in a handy box which is perfect to keep in pockets and handbags when out and about. The alternative promotional Fresh Wipes would be useful to be kept handy on a desk or in the car. Both promotional products are suitable for all sorts of travel and leisure occasions and offer a good sized print area for your artwork to ensure your logo and marketing messages are clearly seen. As these promotional items are so useful and appropriate to a wide demographic, they will kept and repeatedly used, which means you get great value for money as your branding will be seen often. Make sure you have your contact details printed on your promotional gifts so your customers can reach you easily when they need your products and services.

Promotional Pedometers – Step Up for More Business

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

There is such an emphasis on getting and keeping healthy these days that you can plug your business gifting into this trend and make a positive connection with your target audience. If your business is largely health and body image related, or your next promotional theme has similar elements, you could choose promotional pedometers as part of your promotional merchandise package. These promotional items are hugely popular, and would represent a thoughtful and useful promotional gift to your customers and clients.

You will find a great range of promotional pedometers offered to you by PG Branding, suitable for a range of budgets and functional requirements. The basic single function pedometer counts steps up to 99999 and has a clip on the back. The low cost of this promotional pedometer makes it a useful mass marketing tool for wide distribution, or may be suitable for businesses with only a low budget to spend. A further range of pedometers and fat analysers are also available, incorporating other functions such as distance covered, calorie counter, LED light and panic alarm, or real-time clock and alarm. Some items may also be able to store multiple data and/or may be solar powered.

All of these promotional gifts can be imprinted with your bespoke artwork, including your logo, contact details and marketing messages. These promotional items will be used repeatedly by your target audience, and perhaps become part of everyday routines for some people. This means that your company credentials will be seen over and over, ensuring you will be contacted should the need arise for your goods and services.

Bring in a Tide of Customers with Promotional Swingtop Bottled Water

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

At every event everyone needs to keep hydrated. If you provide promotional drinks to satisfy their thirst, your customers new and old will be grateful and remember the thoughtful promotional gift. This will translate in time to increased loyalty and amplified sales for your business.

If you give away Promotional Swingtop Bottled Water, you will be going one step further and thus develop a better return for your marketing investment. This is because if you have your artwork imprinted onto these aluminium promotional bottles of water, they will be re-used, rather than just thrown away as other less re-useable plastic bottles would be. This works to your advantage in a couple of ways. The re-use and recyclable credentials of the bottle means less waste and is therefore more environmentally friendly which would gain you ‘brownie points’ in the environmentally aware camp. Also, with regards to business pay back, the re-use means that your company logo and marketing messages are seen on more than one occasion, giving you greater exposure for your spend. You will be providing your target audience with a useful and re-useable promotional gift to get your messages across and bring in that refreshing tide of business for your company.
