Promotional USB hubs make idea business gifts for the desktop

If your company is gearing up to launch a seasonal advertising campaign, you may want to consider promotional desktop gifts with an IT Theme. These items make terrific Christmas gifts, as they add real value to the lives of your recipients, while at the same time promoting your company brand. 3 IT themed promotional gift ideas in particular are likely to be appreciated by prospective customers and valued customers across a broad range of consumer demographics.

USB Flash Drives

Promotional USB flash drives make phenomenal Christmas presents that are both useful and affordable to purchase in bulk. Imprint the surface of each USB drive with your company logo and contact information, in order to garner a great deal of exposure for your company brand.

In addition, promotional USB memory sticks can be loaded with a flash presentation file that will pop up automatically the first time one of your recipients uses it in their computer system. This gives your company a terrific opportunity to promote new services, products lines or promotions.

Digital Photo Frames

Digital photo frames make terrific promotional gifts for employees as well as well-received promotional gifts for customers. Bestow a gift that will serve your recipients well for many months and years to come, displaying their favorite photographs for all to see. Be sure to emblazon your company logo and contact information on the front of each digital photo frame you distribute, so that your advertising campaign can maximize your overall Return on Investment (ROI).

You may also wish to load your company info into the first ‘frame’ of the digital photo frame. This frame will pop up the first time your recipients use their photo frames, and they can simply erase the frame when they are ready to load their own pictures onto the device. In this manner, your promotional digital photo frames can garner you additional company exposure.

Promotional USB Desk Fans

These promotional desktop gifts are likely to be big hits as business gifts for prospective clients as well as current customers and employees.

Promotional Desktop Gifts for Clients and Employees

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010
4 port USB hubs

Our Turtle 4 port USB hub is proving to be a bit hit!

Have you ever received a promotional gift during the Christmas season?

Thousands of businesses each year decide to use promotional gifts, which they send out to employees and to their clients. Chances are very good that you’ve received some sort of promotional desktop gift during your professional life. You may have received a personalised USB hub, mouse mats  or even something simple but needed  like a promotional coffee mug.

The fact is that promotional products are sent out  each Christmas season because they are extremely effective promotional tools. The companies that use promotional merchandise for customers and employees during the holiday season see an instant return on their investment and often see the benefits of promotional Christmas gifts for years to come.

This is especially true for companies that use promotional desktop gifts designed for computer users.

These days, nearly every office uses computers and nearly every person with a desk job works at a computer for hours out of each day. The right promotional items can make a big difference, as they’ll see and work with them every day. A promotional USB flash drive, for instance, will make an immediate impression on customers, and they’ll often begin using them on a day to day basis. As long as the flash drive is working, your company’s name will be quite literally right at the client’s fingertips.

It is, of course, important to choose good quality promotional gifts. This is especially true for computer items, which contain delicate electronics. While it’s possible to find promotional desktop gifts that are cheaply produced, always go for quality.

Have you ever bought a USB hub or another computer device that lasted for years? These types of devices are obviously much more useful than cheap devices that break right out of the box, and they foster much more good will when used as a promotional gift.

The Christmas season is a great time to market your company, and promotional items are a great way to do this affordably and effectively. You’ll be spreading the good cheer of the season while improving name recognition among your clients and improving employee morale.

Promotional desktop gifts are a fantastic way to market effectively for years to come, and an obvious buy for any business that believes in the power of good customer and employee contact. Remember, you’ve received promotional Christmas gifts in the past–shouldn’t you use the same effective methods for your business?

Promotional Calculators-Build Your Brand With These Useful promotional Gifts

Auto-opening promotional solar calculators

Chick out the auto-opening promotional solar desktop calculator!

If you have clients or employees who spend a lot of time at the office, giving them promotional gifts that are used often in the office is a good idea.

Promotional desktop gifts like good quality desk calculators have tremendous staying power. Give your client or employee a nice logo printed calculator and you can rest assured that it will remain on their desktop for years promoting your brand.

I was given a desktop calculator printed with one of my supplier’s logo about five years ago and it has been on by desk ever since. In fact his website address is forever in my memory because I must look at and use the calculator at least twenty times every day.

This is what makes promotional gifts like logo printed calculators such excellent value for money. Gifts like these are kept. They are useful and therefore used which makes them much more effective than more gimmicky gifts on the market.

There are so many different sizes and styles to choose from. Whatever your budget, you are bound to fine a good quality desk calculator that will keep your logo in full view each and every work day.

If you are on a tight budget you might like to look into the many innovative pocket calculators available for personalising. Most people are on the go these days and a good quality calculator in the brief case or coat pocket will always come in handy.
Pocket calculators have the added bonus of being portable which means your message is taken out and about and indirectly shared with many more people durning the calculator’s lifetime.

Here are a couple ideas…

Employee Gifts

Give all of your office based employees a good large promotional desk calculator emblazoned with your logo. This will help build your brand not only to your employees but to visitors. An office decorated with logo printed merchandise looks fantastic. It promotes your brand and encourages your employees to work together as a team.

Client Gifts

Go out and personally hand your best customers a good quality promotional desktop calculator. This time, don’t just print your logo but your other important contact details as well. You are bound to see an amazing return on your investment. Promotional calculators make great promotional Christmas gifts!

What promotional gift would you like to receive this Christmas? Would it be a calculator or do you have something else in mind? Would you care to share by leaving a comment?

Did you know that on average people take five coffee or tea breaks each and every day at work?

That is one heck of a lot of time that you could be promoting your brand. Think about it… Each time your customer takes five minutes to relax with a cup of coffee they could be looking at your logo, contact details or full colour advertisement.

There are many mug shapes to choose from so choose wisely. In order to become your customers’ favourite mug – the one they insist on using – they are going to need to be special.

The right shape is of course down to personal preference but you should be able to get a good idea which stands the best chance of being used the most. Look into the many earthenware and china mugs available. Popular mug styles are the Sparta, Lincoln, Durham and Topaz.

You may also be interested in one or more of the specialty mug styles such as the Giant Mug and the glass and earthenware latte mugs that have been all the rage lately.

This year, why not go one better? You can ask for special printed inserts such as Christmas chocolates, stuffed toys, Santa stress balls and of course coffee and chocolates to be placed in the mugs. Popular brands such as Nescafe, Nestle, McVities, Walkers and Thortons are all available to add to your promotional mug gifts.

If budget and time permits, you could even ask to have your mugs with inserts supplied in matching gift boxes.

Imagine the presentation! Such a gift package could make your target customers sit up and take notice. Such a gift package will look fantastic and your customer will have a mug that they could be using for many years.

So what do you think? Would you like to give this unique marketing package a go? Look into all the exciting new mugs available to you such as the new engraved logo mugs and promotional photo mugs.

You can also now print special messages inside the promotional printed mugs which will really get your message across each time the mug is used.

Promotional Christmas Gifts-5 Low Cost Ideas for Building Your Brand

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010
santa stress balls

The Santa stress balls is very popular!

I believe it is better to promote a business with promotional gifts that are useful and have staying power.

Desktop gifts such as promotional clocks, engraved metal gift pens and luxurious desktop digital photo frames are all perfect for your top clients. They will remain on their desks for years promoting your brand.

In this article, however, I would like to tell you about five low cost gifts that are perfect for promoting your brand to everyone else. Getting your logo throughout your office and the offices of your customers is never a back thing. These promotional items will promote your brand while spreading a little good old fashion Christmas cheer.

Christmas Themed Stress Balls

I have a customer who received a box of twenty Santa shaped stress balls from me two years ago. He handed them out around his office. I recently visited him and was amazed to see that at least three were still floating around his office. Just because a promotional item has a Christmas theme does not mean it will be thrown away after Christmas! People love stress balls and will keep them for ages.

Look into the popular Santa, Snowman and Christmas tress stress balls shapes.

Christmas Themed Mugs

One of my clients had a great ideas a couple of years back. He has an employee who is a brilliant artist. My customer asked him to draw a Christmas cartoon including the company’s logo and moose mascot. They had the Christmas cartoons printed onto a batch of photo mugs and gave them to all of their customers.

The promotion went down so well they now send new cartooned mugs to their customers every three to four months.

Do you have a talented artist working for you? Perhaps you do not know it yet. Why not hold a competition to find the best design for your Christmas mugs?

Calendar Mouse Mats

Some calendar mouse mats are exceptional quality and do not cost a lot. By giving your customers mouse mats starting in December and finishing 14 months laster, you have a good chance of promoting your brand on their desktop for over a year! Desktop property is valuable property! Give this a try.

Again, you could either use a designer or try using some of that hidden talent within your own organisation to create a special Christmas design.

Christmas Themed Logo Bugs

You know what these are – the little fuzzy bobbles that have eyes and other features. Usually they have a printed flag attached to them and self adhesive feet so that they can be stuck to walls and computer monitors.

Why not have a large batch made for Christmas? Give your customers a handful for their office. Often the flags are printed with a discount code that is valid all year.

This means your Santa logo bugs could still have prime position on your customers’ computer screens all year round!

Christmas Themed Highlighters

Why highlighters? Highlighters are different to pens in that they are not used every day. A low cost Christmas pen could be tossed aside after the Christmas season simply because its writing life is over. Highlighters on the other hand are used far less often. They could be used for months if not years. Highlighters will remain on your customers desktops promoting your brand.

The above listed ideas are just a few of the promotional products that are available to you.

Why not ask for a few samples and get your Christmas promotion on the road? Do you have any products you would like more information about? Perhaps you have an idea for your Christmas promotion but you want more information about certain low cost products? Feel free to share your thoughts, questions and experiences by leaving a comment.
