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.

Promotional Desktop Gift * Check Out the Hugo Highlighter Stand by Koziol

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010
Koziol Toucan Higlighter

The Koziol Hugo Highlighter. You can pull the beak off and write with the hightlighter.

Promotional highlighter pens are some of the most sought after and used promotional gifts in the office. Almost everyone needs a highlighter from time to time. Students and academics use them daily. Are these your customers? If so, then have I got something for you!

The ‘Hugo’ Highlighter stand is more than just eye-catching place to stick your highlighter pen. It looks like a large beaked bird. The highlighter itself is creatively crafted into a beak shaped shell.

In fact, I love all of the products that are manufactured by the German manufacturer Koziol. They manufacture different gifts for the house and office. Are different gifts not what most business professionals are looking for? I must receive 20 enquiries every week for something different that is not featured in “all the other catalogues.’

So then, what is so magnificent about the Koziol desktop highlighter stand. Well, other than it looks like a large beaked bird

The Hugo Highlighter by Koziol

Starting at around £9.95 each for 100 - the Koziol will get your customers talking. They are going to love your for this one!

- no one can say that’s a bad thing – can they? – It can also be made to order in your corporate colours.

This will probably not be necessary as it is already made if five popular colours but I think you may just fall in love with this brand. If you do – or should I say when you do, you may just want to order other promotional desktop gifts that look and feel like a Koziol.

Order over 1000 units of one design and you can actually have them manufactured in your company Pantones. Can you see the desk set already? Koziol manufacture many different desktop gifts from CD holders to pen pots, from sticky note holders to scissor stands. You could actually make this an ongoing promotion with new Koziol products at different times of the year.

Think of the branding possibilities here. Your customers’ desktops could be scattered with promotional products in your corporate colours, printed with your logo and contact details.

But back to the Hugo Highlighter stand. The beak shell is set to hold the name brand Stabio Boss Mini highlighter. This means that when the ink does go dry, your customers or you can replace it with a new Stabio highlighter. You customers could be using your desktop gift for many years.

I really like promotional products that are different and have the potential to start conversation. The Hugo will do that for you. It will get noticed and it will keep you logo printed highlighter in sight rather that stuffed in the back of a drawer.

Now that is increasing brand visibility!

Promotional Desktop Products Made for You in Your Corporate Colour by Koziol

Sunday, October 31st, 2010
Koziol Promotional Products

Just a few of the many fun Koziol promomotional desktop gifts

This year I am on a quest to find the newest most innovative promotional products on the market.

Yes – I will still offer all those same popular promotional gifts to my customers that have been around for ions but I want to show you that there are some quite fascinating and eye-catching alternatives.

Most promotional products are manufactured in the Far East, mass produced to be sent to promotional gift suppliers worldwide. Many haven’t changed in design in years.

So when I came across the Koziol range of promotional products I have to say I was excited and inspired to let the world know about these fun and useful business gifts. Useful is the key word here. I always stress to my own clients how important it is to give gifts with a purpose. These are the gifts that will be used regularly and will promote your business for years.

German manufacturer Koziol make all of their top quality promotional products in German. They have many great products that will get people talking. Print your logo nice and large on the Elvis tape dispenser, the Pella pelican shaped pen pot or the Edward Scissor holder and the conversation will almost certainly turn to you and your business.

Now the even better news! Koziol promotional products can be manufactured in your corporate Pantone colour.

Koziol product are mid range gifts. You can purchase these in low quantities in a selection of popular colours.

If you like, however you can order a minimum of 1000 of the higher cost gifts in your Pantone colours. There are also low cost options such as

Koziol desktop pen holder

The Pella promotional desktop pen pot by Koziol

bookmarks, ice scrapers, and tyre gauge checkers that can be pantone matched for orders of 2500 items or more. Pantone matching can be done in solid or translucent plastic.

Koziol produce both desktop gifts for the office and also a nice selection of kitchen and personal products that really need to be seen. They’re great!

I would like you to sit back and think for a minute where you want to take your marketing. Would you agree with me that offering your customers something different, attractive and useful is a good thing? Sure a nice Parker pen, earthenware mug or fabric full colour printed mouse mat will always be appreciated.

But these are the products that your competitors will probably be sending out as well. Why not be different. Order a quantity of Pantone matched desktop gifts by Koziol. If budget permits, you may even like to consider a selection of Koziol promotional desktop products colour-coordinated in your company Pantone.

This will give you years of prime advertising space on your customers’ desktops. Now that’s business branding!

Why Promotional Desktop Gifts are Great Advertising Tools

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

I’m sitting at my desk.

I have been for the past 20 minutes with serious writer’s block when suddenly the theme for today’s blog hits me.

Promotional desktop gifts are amazing little advertisers! Do you want to no why? Then read on…

I began preparing to write my blog the same way I do every day and that is by pouring myself a cup of coffee. The mug I use is a large Stein mug

Promotional mugs

Promotional Mugs make excellent promotional gifts and incentives

that was sent to me by EzineArticles – an online article marketing directory. The mug is printed with their logo and the title of a regular challenge/incentive they offer writers to complete, submit and have approved 100 articles in 100 days.

The promotional mug is my favourite mug because it is large and I drink a lot of coffee. It serves as a daily reminder to me that I need to take some time out of my busy day and write an article or two.

I have a matching mouse mat and computer mouse that have been part of my life now – daily – for at least two years. They are printed with with the full colour logo and details of the business that installed and services our office alarms.

I remember one evening – I was working late and the alarm went off in the building. It was a stormy evening and as I had not keyed in the code for months I had completely forgotten it. I called the number on my mouse mat and spoke to someone who was able to give me instructions to turn the alarm off. It was 2.00am but still there was someone there to help me!

I deal with a lot of young start up businesses and always recommend that alarm company whose logo and details I see every day of the week.

I also have a promotional digital photo frame on my desktop which has 144 pictures programmed into it: pictures from my summer holiday with the family to Italy. Every five seconds a new picture comes on the screen and it reminds me of why I work so hard during the week.

I live for family holidays.

The photo frame is engraved with the details of my supplier who imports the photo frames. I think he can feel quite confident that I will send him business whenever possible.

You see, like most people these days, I sit at my desk a lot. The printed products that I have received over the years are a major part of my day to day.

This is what makes good quality promotional desktop gifts so powerful. Giving your customers desktop items that are useful or serve a purpose will help ensure your logo and details are always within eye-sight.

Promotional Desktop Tape Dispensers That Will Rock Your World

Friday, October 29th, 2010
The Elvis Desktop Tape Dispenser by Koziol

Looking for unique and eye-catching promotional desktop gifts? Here it is!

Elvis is back – this time in the shape of the Koziol tape dispenser named after Elvis himself!

This new promotional desktop gift is eye-catching and is certain to get your clients saying great things about your company.

If there is one thing I always stress to my own clients when they are looking for promotional products, it is that they should always look for gifts that are useful. Gimmicky promotional gifts rarely have staying power.

That is unless those gimmicky gifts also happen to be very useful.

I think I can safely say that the Elvis promotional desktop tape dispenser is both gimmicky and useful. We all need cello tape from time to time around the office and this fun product will fill that requirement. It also happens to be quite attractive – the kind of promotional product your clients will want to show off!

The Elvis tape dispenser has a roll of tape around his waist that can be replaced with new rolls when required. His left hand sports a cutter so that it is easy to roll the cello tape out and cut it where needed.

Would you like to hear the bonus?

Not only can the Elvis desktop tape dispenser be printed with your logo and details, so can the individual rolls of tape. The actual product has three print areas measuring 18mm x 18mm but the tape rolls can be printed with your logo and contact details on the core inlay of the tape.

What’s more, it is so easy to replace the tape rolls as there is a built in magnetic catch that easily opens and shuts to remove old rolls and replace with the new personalised rolls.

I must say, this looks amazing!

All Koziol desktop items are supplied in a clear in clear plastic gift boxes that look great and help promote the fact that this is no ordinary promotional product.

Koziol desktop products are manufactured in Germany to the highest of standards. This will be obvious from the moment you take it out of the box.

So what are you waiting for? Order a sample of the Elvis tape dispenser. You will be sold as soon as you see him. Then, get that next big promotion underway. If you want Elvis to look really cool, be sure to order the personalised cello tape rolls too.

Chances are your customers will be looking at your gift on their desk for years to come!

Now that’s brand building.

Innovative Promotional Desktop Gifts * Promotional Pen Pots by Koziol

Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Koziol pen pots

The Pella Pen Pot by Koziol.

I recently received a new and innovative promotional desktop gift in the form of a Koziol pen pot. Within two minutes of placing it on my desk I literally had two colleagues trying to steal it from me.

No joking – this product is the kind of product that does not come around every day! It will certainly get noticed because it is in the shape of a pelican.

Not many gifts fit that description now do they!

The Koziol company sent me this desktop gift along with some of their other amazing promotional desktop gifts and I have to say I love them all. That said, today I am going to focus on the one that my work colleagues were trying to take when I wasn’t looking.

The Pelle promotional pen pot is available in red, orange, blue and green. I have the blue version which matching my corporate blue very nicely. In fact I have decided to order a few hundred because they match the translucent blue promotional pens I had printed perfectly.

Colour coordinating the colour of your promotional pens and a good promotional pen pot looks the part. It calls out for attention and there is no doubt it will get that attention!

The print area on this promotional pen holder is not huge but but at 20mm x 15mm it is large enough to print most logos and perhaps some important text such as your web address or telephone number.

There is one more thing that I believe deserves a mention.

Koziol promotional desktop gifts are all supplied in eye-catching clear plastic presentation boxes. This really makes these German made promotional products look so much nicer than other personalised desktop gifts that are usually manufactured in the Far East. Koziol desktop items look and feel like they are high quality products and your customers will almost certainly appreciate this.

Why not show your customers how much they mean to you this year. Send them a promotional Koziol pen pot and perhaps a few matching pens, pencils or promotional markers.

I am sure you will agree the moment you lay eyes on these German made desktop gifts that they are a cut above the rest. Personally I am very excited about this whole range of Koziol desktop gifts and believe that they will be the gift to have in the coming months.

Watch this space.

Promotional Desktop Gifts with a Difference * Check Out the Curly Paperclip Dispenser

Sunday, October 24th, 2010
Curly promotional paperclip dispenser

The 'Curly' promotional paperclip dispenser by Koziol

Rarely does a promotional desktop gift come on the market that makes such a good and instantaneous impression as the Curly desktop promotional paperclip dispenser. It literally attracts attention and ultimately results in people talking about you and your business.

Is that not what we all hope our promotional desktop gifts will do!

Curly is a cartoon like figure that will sit happily in front of your customers on their desks for years. He has large eyes just under his magnetic scalp where your clients’ paperclips can be stored. It really has to be seen and held.

The paperclips look like they are his hair.

This innovative and eye-catching gift screams quality. It is quite heavy like a mid-range promotional gift should be. And it looks so much different to all of the other desktop paperclip dispensers on the market.

There is only one print area on Curly which is a 15mm x 10mm area on his tummy. That is not a large space to print so you will want to keep your design simple. If you get creative you can fit most logos and even a web address into this area. Whatever you do, however don’t try to fit too much in.

If people need to squint to read your information, they probably won’t.

Brand building is often better done in a variety of ways. Use a fun product like the Curley to just get your logo out there. Use promotional products with larger print areas to promote all of your important contact details and ensure that you do!

Koziol promotional products are all manufactured in Germany to the highest standards. I strongly recommend checking out the whole range to see if there is perhaps another product that is of interest.

When purchased in quantities of 1000 or more, Koziol promotional products can be manufactured to order in your corporate Pantones. This means that you could choose the Curly paperclip dispenser, the Elvis tape dispenser and the Archibald Post-it note holder and have them all match your corporate colour perfectly.

Imagine the impression that could make. All of your useful desktop products taking centre stage on your clients’ desktops, perfectly matched and grabbing attention like few promotional products can.

All Koziol promotional products are supplied in an attractive clear plastic gift boxes which makes the presentation that much better.

So are you ready to show your customers why your company is best? Is it time to give your top customers the gift with a difference?

It is! The the Koziol Curly promotional paperclip dispenser is just the gift.

The Curly Paper Clip Dispenser by Koziol

The popular 'Curly' paperclip dispenser by Koziol

What do you do when you want unique promotional products but can only find the same old products of yesteryear?

The Speedy Tape Dispenser

Talk about innovative – this snail shaped tape dispenser will sit happily on your clients’ desktops for years. I have no doubt that it will be a conversation starter that will often lead to saying good things about your business. Is that not what you want when you promote your brand?

Shaped like a butterfly, this Koziol product will take centre stage on your customers’ desktops and build your brand all along the way. I would like to emphasise that all Koziol promotional products are really good quality gifts that will last for years.

The Pelle Pens Pot

You know when you see a product that just grabs your attention and you don’t want to look away? Well that is what the Pelle pen pot did for me. I guess it is because I sell a lot of promotional pens and this just jumped out at me as an amazing follow up gift. The Pelle is in the shape of a pelican. The pens are stored in the lower part of the pelican’s beak. You’ve got to see it.

Archibald Post-it Note Holders

This desktop Post-it note holder is in the shape of a turtle and looks fantastic. Like all Koziol desktop gifts, it comes in a range of popular colours.

The Elvis Tape dispenser

The King is back! Check out the 'Elvis' desktop tape dispenser

Why not colour coordinate your gifts and give a few different Koziol products to your top clients.

Elvis Tape Dispenser

You’ve heard of rock and roll – well now theirs cut and roll. This desktop figure looks like a dancing rocker who has a roll of tape around his waist. If you order over 1000 rolls of tape you can even have the cello tape rolls personalised with your logo and contact details. What an innovative idea that will keep you details right where you want them.

Curley Paperclip Man

Another fun little cartoon like desktop figure that will really get people talking. The head is magnetic. Put a few paperclips on ‘Curley’ and it looks like he is growing hair.

Promotional Gifts – Reminders On The Desktop

Friday, September 24th, 2010
colour change promotional clocks

One of our most popular colour change clocks - eye catching and great value for money

What was the last promotional gift you received? Do you still have it? Do you use it? One thing to keep in mind is longevity. Items that are always visible are constant reminders of your services.

Think about things you use every day at work. Here are some ideas that will keep your logo visible for years:

1. One of my favourite items is a nice clock. Everyone uses a clock. Once you have one on your desk like the promotional clock featured, it becomes a habit to look at it several times a day. There are a huge variety of clocks to choose from. All different shapes, sizes, colours and designs from whimsical to elegant. There are enough choices for any budget.

2. Office workers are becoming more aware of ergonomic environments and are now using the gel pad wrist rests for both keyboards and mice. Lots of room for your logo and/or catch phrase.

3. How about a USB hub with your logo? These days people have many different USB devices such as Ipods, phones, printers, etc. You can’t have too many USB ports and having a hub at your fingertips, with your logo of course, is a great accessory.

4. Although this is not a computer accessory, pen/pencil holders are another good way to get that brand out there. Most people don’t like clutter on their desks but a nice container will stay visible. Bright, cheerful colours always improve the mood in a workspace. Not everyone in the office likes the geek gift!

5. Everyone’s favourite is a mouse pad. Always on your desk and looked at hundreds of times a day. Inexpensive but appreciated. Nobody likes a dull mouse pad and it takes years to wear one out.

6. Maybe a digital desktop calendar? There are some that have an arm that quickly swings back and forth and delivers a message. You can program them quite easily and they are quite a conversation starter. This could easily bring your company to mind when they see such an unusual item.

7. It’s always fun to think outside the box. Why not brand a mouse? Receiving a gift like this will surely keep your company in the front of people’s mind.

So have some fun with your promotional gifts. Go crazy! Make your gift fun and memorable. What would you love to receive for your desk? What would put a smile on your face? Top quality promotional desktop gifts are most likely to be used and kept for years to come.

The Advantages Of Using Logo Printed USB Hubs

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
Promotional USB Hubs

Just one of many popular promotional USB hubs!

Why do companies spend money on promotional items?

The answer is, of course, to improve name recognition and create more sales. This is the reason for all promotion. What many businesses don’t seem to realize is that certain promotional items tend to accomplish this better than others. Desktop promotional gifts, in particular, are a fantastic way to keep a company’s name at a prospect’s fingertips, and logo printed USB hubs are a great way to do this.

There are a few reasons to choose logo printed USB hubs. They’re one of the most commonly used items in an office, especially for computer driven businesses. This means that a USB hub sent as a promotional gift will be used regularly–something that can’t really be guaranteed with other types of desktop promotional gifts. A logo printed USB hub will sit on the user’s desk, and if a company has the foresight to print a phone number or website address on the hub, it can be a powerful day to day reminder for the gift recipient.

Logo printed USB hubs are also fairly inexpensive. When purchased in bulk, their cost can be greatly reduced, far under the cost of a store-bought USB hub. The gift recipient will see the USB hub as a valuable gift, and the business giving the hub won’t have to pay too much for a great brand recognition tool.

As a logo printed USB hub isn’t a very common gift, a business can be almost positive that each hub will see use at the recipient’s office. The gift has a sense of style, and gives off the impression of a serious, professional company with a lot of money to invest in promotional items. This can be crucial when developing business relationships and when trying to get a foothold in any marketplace.

Picture how you’d react if you’d received a logo printed USB hub as a gift. You wouldn’t throw it away or misplace it, the way that you might with a cheaper promotional item like a notepad or a pen. You’d get regular use out of the product, and you’d think highly of the company that sent it to you. A good logo printed USB hub made with high quality parts is a fantastic promotional opportunity and one of the best items that any company can use as a gift or a special bonus, both for employees and for prospective clients.
