Promotional Laptop Bags For Clients

If you have customers who are often on their laptops, it makes perfect sense that they would love your gift of a sturdy bag to carry their computer in.

 

Of course they will probably already have a laptop bag but these wear out over time. This is especially so with some of the bags available at the larger retail chains. Give them a heavy duty bag with lots of pockets and storage space and chances are they will be switching bags and using your logo printed gift.

 

It is important to remember that when giving executive gifts such as these that you want to keep your branding to a minimum. A nice logo printed or embossed discreetly in one corner of the bag will be all you need to keep your brand in their thoughts.

 

Promotional Laptop Bags For Employees

Promotional Cameras- Single Use Cameras Make Excellent Party Gifts

Monday, September 12th, 2011

 

Single use promotional cameras

Check out our range of promotional cameras!

To skip this article and go directly to our range of promotional cameras, please click here.

 

With Christmas party season closing in quickly, promotional cameras could be just the promotional tools you need.

 

Over the years, we have supplied our fair share of promotional cameras to businesses and organisations. The bulk of these orders come in between October and January as company Christmas parties are planned and organised. That said, promotional cameras are great gifts year round and here we would like to show you some of the many ways we have seen them used for promotional purposes.

 

The most popular promotional cameras are still the single use cameras which use film. This is down to their low price tag and the fact that they can be printed in full colour all over the surface. These are available with or without a flash and cost only a few pounds each.

 

Using single use promotional cameras at parties and special events

 

Consider placing a printed promotional camera on each table at a company party. Better yet, if budget allows, give each guest a promotional camera. Encourage your guests to take pictures during the evening so that you can publish the best pictures.

 

People will love trying to get the best pictures and your logo and details will be right in their hands. This is a great way of livening up an event, helping to create a fun atmosphere while promoting your brand.

 

Promotional cameras for in car use

 

Many of our customers over the years have given their clients promotional cameras printed with their details. One of the easiest ways to do this is at a party when guests can take the cameras away with them in a goody bag.

 

Often these gifts are given with other travel related gifts. The cameras can be used on holiday or placed somewhere safe to take pictures should the owner of the camera be in an accedent.

 

We live in a time when almost everyone has a camera built into their phone. But when a camera is needed, it’s always nice to have a backup.

 

Promotional cameras for long term promotions

 

Single use cameras can often be kept for a long time but more often than not they are used for an event. For longer promotions, you may wish to look into promoting your business with digital cameras.

 

These cost a bit more but when you consider the length of time they can be used, they offer great value for money.

 

For more information about promoting your business with single use or digital promotional cameras, please contact us on 01642 782455.

5 Promotional Gift Ideas for Christmas

Monday, December 13th, 2010

Christmas is a great time to offer promotional gifts to your customers. The options are just about endless. You can order gifts from apparel to travel accessories. You can find any number of products to meet your budget and promotional ideas. Here are five gift ideas to start with. Remember to order early to get the best deals.

Sweets and Chocolate

You can like to send chocolate gifts to your best customers with your logo prominently displayed on the packaging. Many people love the treats that come with the holiday season. Chocolate is a favourite, but mints and other sweets are great alternatives. You can send a simple box of chocolates or send an elaborate bouquet of chocolate roses. The choice is up to you and your budget.

Games and other Novelties

Many people love to collect stress balls and small toys. They are great items to have in the office for an occasional diversion. You can send your best customers a gift of a Christmas themed stress ball with your logo. You might consider a magic answer ball that shows your company name. A small game set with your name front and centre is a great choice for the executives in your sales call sheet.

Desk Organisers and Office Supplies

Most people have clutter on their desk. Giving your customer a desktop pen pot with your name on it is an affordable option. You might want to make it even more special with a cup holder that has a clock and thermometer built into the base. There are literally thousands of promotional desktop gifts for you to choose from.

Technology Ideas

Technology rules many industries. Everyone loves to get a new electronic gadget. Giving everyone the latest mobile phone is too expensive, but there are options. A great idea for those customers on the good list a USB drive printed with your logo and details. A special mobile phone holder for their desk makes an affordable alternative to the more expensive logo printed mobile phone charger.

Drink-ware

A ceramic mug with your name and logo is a classic promotional gift that is useful at the same time. But that is not the only drink-ware item you can give. You might consider a sports bottle or an insulated travel mug. These give your drink-ware offering a level of sophistication.

Remember your customers this Christmas season. Take the time to select a great promotional item that they will enjoy while giving your business a boost at the same time.

Promotional Computer Accessories Make Ideal Christmas Gifts

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Advertising can be a difficult game. Deciding where to spend your ad budget and get the most bang for your buck is a challenge every business faces. Maybe it is time to consider something outside your standard marketing repertoire. With the holidays just around the corner, promotional gifts with the company name on them might be just the boost your ad campaign needs this year.

Imagine your company’s logo on hundreds of USB drives, floating from office to office and desk to desk. The possibilities really are endless.

A Christmas gift like a promotional USB hub is a hit in more than one way. Everyone loves a gift, and you love the low-cost advertising. Most importantly, USB hubs are practical and people use them every day.

Because they are mobile, they do not simply sit on a desk collecting dust. People take them home, throw them in the laptop case, and pull them out at coffee shops when they want to get a little extra work done. Provide a quality high-tech promotional gift like a USB hub and you can expect years of low-cost advertising across a range of previously untapped markets.

Any opportunity to get the company name out more in the public eye is a positive business decision. When done in a tasteful, useful way, promotional gifts can help your ad budget work double duty for you this holiday season.

Think about your last trip to the local coffee shop. How many people were sitting around enjoying the free internet access on their laptop? Now imagine just three of them using items with your company logo on them. Perhaps the young woman in the corner has one of your promotional mouse pads.

Meanwhile the gentleman on the couch by the fireplace pulls out the optical micro-mouse you gave out at the holiday party. You look up and realise everyone else in line is looking at them as well and there it is, your company logo working for you in ways you never expected.

Whether you are looking for business gifts for employees or customers, consider the added name recognition the right promotional items could offer your business.

Is your marketing strategy keeping up with the changing face of modern business? If not, think about the clear benefits of adding your logo to as many high quality products as possible in a subtle, yet effective way.

A Guide to Buying Promotional Gift Pens for Christmas

Monday, November 1st, 2010
Lamy Studio Pen

The Promotional Lamy Studio Pen is a great choice this Christmas!

Are you considering giving your top clients a nice engraved gift pen this Christmas? Do you know which brand to choose and why? If not, you will want to start your search as early as possible or you may have to settle for second best.

Promotional gift pens make magnificent gifts that are useful and will be appreciated. Most can be purchased in small quantities so you do not need to give the same pen to each of your customers. Instead you can target them and give them the writing instrument they will love to write with.

There are a number of things to consider when purchasing the perfect writing instruments for your customers. Get these right and your customers could be using your gift for years. Your gift will continue to promote your brand each time they use it.

What Type of Writing Instrument to Choose

In the UK and the US ball pens far outsell other types of writing instruments. In Europe, the Rollerball seems to be the pen of choice. Baby boomers love fountain pens. What will your customers prefer? Why not order a quantity of each type and ask them? Remember if your customers like writing with a pen, they will.

It could become their favourite pen. The pen the must use. Think of the advertising potential here!

What Brand to Choose

Traditional styles will always have a happy home. Parker Pens, Waterman Pens and Cross Pens are all brands that should be considered.

My personal favourite brand is the German brand Lamy. Lamy Pens manufacture an innovative range of stylish pens that are like no others! They write smoothly across the page and are very attractive.

You may like a pen that is completely different. Allow yourself time to get samples and to write with the pens you like. Generally speaking, if you like writing with a pen, your customers probably will too.

Start Your Search Early

Deciding on the best pen for your promotion early is essential. Allow yourself plenty of time to decide which pens best represent your company image. In addition to being good quality pens you also need to ensure that there is enough space to engrave or print your logo and message.

Remember, some of the better quality pens can take up to four weeks to deliver so if you are ordering promotional pens for Christmas you may want to order at the beginning of November. This will allow you plenty of time to get your promotional gift pens into your customers’ hands.

It is Time to Consider Promotional Clocks for Christmas

Monday, October 4th, 2010

I have been in the promotional gifts industry for many years and I know of no promotional clocks that are manufactured outside of China. The quality of these promotional gift clocks is quite good but you need to order early to get the clocks of your choice for the employees and clients on your Christmas gift list.

Promotional clocks are excellent promotional gifts because they sit on the desktop and can promote your brand for years.

Think about it. Even the more expensive models offer amazing value for money. Let’s say, for example you purchase a metal engraved gift clock for £8.00. It will be heavy and therefore feel like it is excellent quality.

Now let’s say that your customer keeps it for three years looking at your logo and contact details every day at the office each time the check the time. Can you think of any other way of promoting your business to that person so inexpensively than with executive promotional gifts?

Radio? TV? Magazine advertisements? No way! With promotional desk clocks you can promote your business over a long period of time for just pennies per day.

The key is to finding the best executive gifts like metal clocks is to shop early. Every year people put it off too long. Every year I see people begin searching in May just to put it to the side until late October when their first and second choices have sold out.

Whether you decide on promotional clocks or some other desktop executive gift, you should ensure that you are looking for useful gifts that your clients and employees will want to own.

Promotional products such as pen holders, executive mouse mats, computer mice, letter openers, paperweights and crystal coasters are all gift ideas that will keep your logo in full view all year around.

The better the quality of your gift, the more likely your customers will want to keep it. When you consider the fact that good quality useful gifts will probably be around for a while, you can see the benefit of promoting your brand with such gifts.

You can purchase promotional clocks for as little as a few pounds right up to top quality and beautiful crystal models. The more expensive executive gifts can be purchased in smaller quantities.

So what are you waiting for? Get started early with your Christmas shopping, ask to see samples and then get your gifts ordered before your competitors snap them up before you.

Promotional Decanters For Top Clients

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

What if you could get a memorable promotional gift for those very valued clients you have? You know the ones; the clients that you depend on to succeed. The customers who make your business move. Promotional crystal gifts might not be for all your clients, but they can be perfect for your top clients. Perhaps a promotional decanter is just what you should be thinking about.

Not only are promotional crystal gifts different and classy, but your clients will appreciate them and understand the value of them. Additionally, they will probably display them somewhere in their own business work area. So, not only do you make that top client happy with the promotional decanters you might give them, but you get continual brand recognition every time someone looks at that display in your client’s work place.

Engraving crystal promotional products is very easy and can but a method to say thank you, congratulations or any other message you might have. Promotional decanters can be engraved to say anything and can also be given for just about any special occasion. They are awesome gifts for things such as retirements, contest winners, anniversaries, birthdays and even for charity events.

But how about those top clients of yours? You don’t want them to get the same promotional gifts as perhaps a lesser client or prospect. You want them to know they are valued and special and nothing says you are special better than crystal. Just look at how often we give crystal to those around us, doesn’t it always convey a meaning of importance and class:

It’s getting close to the holidays; prime time to take a minute to say thank you for their support and partnership. Promotional crystal gifts are about as perfect as you can get for those clients. It’s something different, something a bit more high class and something that they will appreciate and you will get brand recognition from for years to come.

Are you questioning what unique gift to give those top notch clients of yours? DO you want to make a statement for the holidays and still be economically rational? Think about engraved promotional decanters for those few that mean so much to you and your business. There are other crystal gifts you can also consider if you want variety. You are sure to surprise and delight the ones whom receive these special promotional gifts.

Why Use Promotional Gifts to Promote Your Brand?

Monday, September 27th, 2010

Have you ever wondered why companies give you all of those pens? It is because someone somewhere realized that those promotional pens work to promote brands.

You need them. When you write something down, you will need a pen, and seeing a company’s name often is one of the key indicators that you will use that company’s services at some point.

An old marketing stand-by claims that on average people must see a company’s name six times before even considering using the company’s service or product. That’s why the pens and other promotional gifts became important in the first place. If you want to make a splash and give clients and employees something a little higher-end that they will use, try out logo-printed laptop bags as customer gifts.

Seek out stylish, good quality bags that your customers will want to own. You want a bag that will fit all sizes of laptops. Get one with pockets and good, quality handles so that the people who receive your company’s promotional gift will want to use it over what they have now.

The best way to ensure you get the best results with you promotional gift is to offer it in a variety of colours. Darker colours are warm and inviting and usually work better. Plus people can use a burgundy or black laptop bag to take to work a bit more often than they will use a hot pink one.

Once you have decided on a promotional laptop bag design, you are ready to begin the process of getting your logo printed. Not all promotional gift suppliers are able to print promotional laptop bags in house. FInding the right business gift supplier will save you a lot of money and you will have many more styles from which to choose.

After getting the promotional laptop bags printed, you will need to begin to hand them out. Personally I feel it is best to hand such gifts out in person. They are executive business gifts so take advantage of this and present your bag to your top clients and employees face to face.

An easy way to make the decision on who gets the laptop bag promotional gift is to give them as Christmas gifts to your best customers. If you are an accounting practice, for example, the customers who bring in the highest take would get a thank-you gift of a logo-printed laptop bag. If you are a store seeking new clients, those signing up in December can get a bag.

Be creative and make the bags a fun, desirable promotional gift.
