Looking for ways to build your brand this holiday season for your tech-savvy customers? One way to do that is to give gifts with your company’s logo on them that will be prominently displayed in your clients’ or customers’ office. When thinking about your office gifts this year, consider IT themed gifts that are sure to be used each day by your existing and future customers. Some ideas are below.

USB Flash Drives
These days, everyone is on the go and needs to carry electronic files with them. Most people do this by saving their files to a USB Flash drive that they can take from one computer to the next. Therefore, what better way to ensure that your logo is often in front of your clients and customers than giving them promotional USB Flash Drives with your logo on them? They are nice and useful gifts that will surely please your customers!

Portable Mouse and Mouse Pad
For those customers you have who travel a lot and spend a lot of time in airports and hotels, a useful gift would be a portable mouse and mouse pad that brags your logo. When using a laptop, the convenience of having a real mouse and mouse pad can lead to more productivity, and what better way to get in front of your customers than to put a logo on a convenient tool?

Laptop Bags
If many of your customers carry their laptops when they travel, it would be convenient for them to have a laptop bag to protect their machine. Putting a logo on a laptop sleeve will not only keep your logo and your brand top of mind to your customer, but also it will be seen a lot in the airport as your customers are traveling. Therefore, a branded laptop sleeve is a nice choice for a gift.

Promotional USB Desktop Fan
There are lots of devices that plug into a standard USB drive on many desktop and laptop computers. Therefore, why not give one of these neat and useful devices as your holiday gift this year? Promotional desktop USB fans are useful to keep your customers comfortable in the office. Also, you could get a light up mousepad that plugs into a USB port as well. There are other options for USB devices that go on a desktop and can be quite useful.

As you can see, there are lots of ways to give IT-themed promotional desktop and travel gifts that will be seen a lot by not only your own existing customers, but also potential clients as your customers are traveling for business or pleasure. Giving an IT-themed promotional desktop item is one way to build your brand and gain the favour of your customers. Don’t you think that your customers will appreciate all of these items? Happy Shopping!

Promotional Desktop Gifts-Top Quality Mouse Mats Work Best

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
Promotional Mouse Mats

Promotional Mouse Mats Cost Less at CompuGift!

Have you ever wondered which promotional items are the most effective? If so, rest assured that there isn’t one right answer.

The fact is, most promotional items are useful in one way or another. Depending upon the audience you are trying to appeal to, you may or may not want to choose a specific promotional item. For instance, a bank would never give out dog whistles as promotional gifts, as it just wouldn’t make sense. However, if the bank were to give out promotional pens, it would be well received, as pens relate to banking. One of the best things that any business can give out as a promotional desktop gift is the branded mouse mat.

Desktop gifts such as promotional logo printed mouse mats can make excellent promotional items, as they are used often. Anyone who works in an office environment in front of a computer utilizes mouse mats throughout the day, and by giving out one that is of the highest quality, you can ensure that it will actually get used. Most office provide their employees with mouse mats that are functional, yet economical and thus not usually of very high quality. If you can produce a mouse mat that is of high quality, people will throw away their old ones in a heartbeat.

Promotional items are crucially important to promoting your bran, and should not be overlooked. A branded mouse mat is the perfect way to get your company image ingrained into someone’s head, as they will see the image a number of times throughout the day. Eventually, it will become part of their subconscious mind, with the idea in mind that this will result in more sales and brand awareness.

As long as the mouse mat you produce is of high quality, chances are it will stick around for quite a while. Whether it stays in the possession of a single person or it gets past around throughout the marketplace, the end result is that your company’s image will be viewed on a consistent basis, hopefully by a wide variety of people.

Many people avoid promotional gifts because they feel as if they will be too expensive to produce. The fact is, promotional items can usually be purchased inexpensively, either in bulk or in small quantities. Utilizing promotional items is actually one of the least expensive marketing techniques out there, and its effectiveness should not be overlooked, no matter what the situation.

So what are you waiting for? Incorporate mouse mats into your promotional campaign today!

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 Desktop Gifts at the Coffee Shop and Ice Cream Parlour

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
Desktop gifts

Promotional desktop gifts can be personalised to match your corporate image.

How cool is this? I’m sitting at my local coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon typing this article on my new iPad. I’m not implying that I am some sort of cool individual but it’s the setting. How many of you could have imagined working outside the office like this just ten years ago?

Now I can look around and their are at least ten other people, just like me working at their favourite daytime hangout and it is even busier during the work week! Every day people are going to their favourite haunts to work and socialise in a way that was never before possible.

New times call for new types of promotions. The coffee house and even ice cream parlour is becoming an office outside the office. These establishments’ new kudos as the place to be and work have made them so popular that people want to take a piece of them back to the office and home. The great thing is they often do so in the form of promotional items and promotional desktop gifts.

Case in point, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream recently put together an amazing collection of promotional desktop gifts that anyone would want to have and use as their own. The collection included a blue Senator Challenger Icy pen and a green Senator Akzento pen. Both were printed with their logo.

In addition to these very popular promotional plastic pens, the desktop collection included a blue A5 soft feel Skuba folder and pad that was printed digitally for exceptional good colour quality.

Ben & Jerry’s also included sticky note cases in Skuba material and a digitally printed promotional mug. The result was amazing and really something to behold.

You can have this too for your business.

Have you ever considered how people view your establishment or perhaps how you would like them to see your business? Using good quality promotional gifts can go a long way toward building that ideal picture!

You don’t need to just purchase off the shelf products. You can have your desktop giveaways colour matched so that they look as though they were made with your business in mind.

So what are you waiting for. All of these top quality gifts are available at CompuGift. Samples are no problem! We would love to help you promote your business in this unique way just as Ben and Jerry’s did!

Promotional Desktop Gifts for the Computer IT Industry

Sunday, September 12th, 2010
apple desktop design

The Apple designed desktop gifts

Can promotional gifts be different from industry to industry? I mean what makes an IT desktop gift different to say a banking industry desktop gift or a desk item for the financial industry?

In truth, the promotional products do not need to be all that different but often the brand and how it is presented is very different from industry to industry.

Case in point – Apple computers recently put together a very attractive and from what I hear very successful desktop gift campaign. The selection included an A5 and A4 conference folder. Both were in what is called a Scuba PVC that is available in some quite exciting and ‘in’ colours. In the case of Apple, they chose a light green and a light blue. The conference folders were then printed with a cool design of a man listening to an iPod and of course the Apple logo.

Having found the perfect colour for their promotion, colours that look liked they were designed for an IT brand, they then had Pantone matched mugs printed with the Apple logo. Apple also had two Senator Skeye Icy transparent blacks pens personalised with the Apple logo to match the blue folders.

The selection looked fantastic! I have seen few desktop gift sets that look so good. The good news is you can have this for your business too.

Regardless of the size of your company, you can have a personalised desktop gift set colour coordinated and pantone matched that will make you look like you are a leader in your industry.

Print the promotional gifts with IT themed designs and your logo and watch as you customers begin to decorate their offices with your top quality branded products.

Think about it for a minute… What is your brand? How do people see you or perhaps the better question would be how do you want to be seen? Products such as these will help build that perfect picture.

Promotional desktop gifts are ideal business gifts for customers and employees. If you have a shop or business where your customers come often you may want to offer them as competition gifts or perhaps even sell them for profit. Don’t forget to order enough to decorate and brand your own office.

Would you like us to design a desktop gift set perfect for your IT company. We’ve done it many times before and we can do it for you. Contact us today on 01642 782455.

Promotional Calculators-Build Your Brand With These Useful promotional Gifts

Thursday, September 9th, 2010
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?

Creating a Good Image with Innovative Promotional Desktop Gifts

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Along with offering quality products to their customers, business owners also have to consider the items they are using to promote their business. The truth is, if your business sells high-quality, high-priced items and it hands out a small promotional keychain to its customers, many of your customers will think your business doesn’t care about them and it could lose some customers. In fact, they may even think you are cheap. To get more business, you need to consider using innovative new promotional gifts for the desktop.

By giving quality items and more innovative products to your customers and prospects, you are going to prove to them that they are valuable. The goal of every marketing campaign is to not just grow your business, but to improve the overall reputation of your business. Giving away promotional USB flash drives, promotional desk planners, and other popular items, you are going to improve how your customers perceive your business.

Once you have chosen some of the more innovative and new promotional items, you will want to take careful consideration on what you have imprinted on them. Along with your company name, you will want to include your company logo. You also may want to consider imprinting a special message to your prospects and customers. This can easily help to relay how important they are to your company.

You will also have to determine who you are going to give them to and how. Do you wish to simply give them to each of your customers who order a certain dollar amount? Or will you use them to give out to contest winners in hopes to get more attention for your business? You could even decide to give one of the promotional gifts to any customer that refers a new, buying customer to your business. Truthfully, there are numerous ways you can use them in the promotion of your business.

Before you place an order for the promotional items you are going to use in a new marketing campaign, make sure you are ordering more innovative and new promotional gifts for the desktop. A promotional USB flash drive can be used in both business and fun. Promotional mouse mats can liven up just about any desk. By thinking a little bit outside the box and offering more valuable and usable promotional gifts to your customers, you will prove they, too, are a valuable part of your business.

5 of the Best Promotional Desktop Gifts

Monday, July 12th, 2010
Promotional desktop pens pots

Promotional pen pots are ideal promotional gifts

The promotional items that work the best are those that sit on or around the desktop. Promotional desktop items such as promotional mouse mats, note pads, pens, pen posts and desk clocks can all go a long way toward building your brand. Keep these proven products in mind as you look for the perfect promotional items to build your brand. In this article I would like to show you how the top five promotional desktop items can work to promote your new business.

Chances are that if you are just starting up you will have a strict budget to stick to. You could throw this money toward expensive yellow pages advertisements, magazine ads, pay for click campaigns and even radio commercials. All of these ways of promoting your brand can be quite costly and need to be done regularly if they stand any chance of being any good to you.

Promotional desktop gifts are different. When you give a target customer a new good quality mouse mat or coffee mug they appreciate your gesture and keep the gift. Such items can be used for years and still look fantastic, promoting your brand all along the way. The top five desktop gifts are…

Promotional Mouse Mats

Even if you do not use a mouse, you can certainly use a mouse mat. They work as colour points of reference which make it easy for your customers to find you. Many people use them as coasters but computer mice like them best.

Promotional Mugs

Almost everyone takes a coffee or tea break regularly. Even if your customers do not take a break, chances are they will have a hot cup of coffee on their desktops a few times during the day. Printing your logo onto low cost promotional earthenware mugs will get your business noticed each time they reach for their favourite beverage.

Pen Pots

Promotional pens are one of the most sought after promotional gifts. It makes sense, therefore that pen pots would be such popular desktop gifts. Give you target customers a pen pot and a few logo printed pens and they will never lose your details.

Printed Note Pads

Of course if you are giving away promotional pens and pen pots, you may as well offer you customers good quality logo printed note pads sometime down the line. Your customers will see you logo and contact details each time they reach for a note pad to jot down a few notes.

Plastic Desk Clocks

There are a lot of inexpensive desk clocks on the market that look fantastic and promote like few other promotional items can. Think about it… How many time do you look at the time daily. That’s right. Printing your logo on a place where your customers focus their attention regularly is a good way to build your brand inexpensively.

Promotional Gifts are Brilliant Promotional Tools

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Promotional Items

CompuGift is the UK's leading independent online supplier of promotional gifts

We are all trying to promote our businesses in innovative ways. Doing so can help you to achieve unlimited success. Promotional gifts and promotional items can get you to where you want to be, for relatively little spend, compared to other advertising methods such as pay per click, magazine advertisements, television and radio commercials etc. Promotional items can get your logo and message in front of your key customers. Give them a promotional gift they actually want, value and can use and your advertisement could stay with them for months if not years. That is excellent business branding.

Many people use promotional items to announce that they have opened for business. This is a good way of getting the message out that your are in business. It also helps familiarise people with your new logo. The most important thing to consider when giving away promotional items is not the price but how useful the product is!

It is important, therefore, to know your target customers. Giving a logo printed USB hub to a customer who is computer illiterate will do you absolutely no good and is a waste of money. If on the other hand you deal primarily with high tech companies your USB gift will be very much appreciated and used.

Promotional gift advertising is an ongoing commitment. Send your customers a special promotional item and then ensure that you follow it up regularly with new gifts or possibly even the same gifts.

Your customers will always need pens, note pads, mouse mats, erasers, pencils and pencil sharpeners around the office. These are just some of the many stationery products that are so popular and often used for business promotion. Items that stay on or around the desktop are always appreciated and used.

If you can get a printed promotional mug, a mouse mat and perhaps even a logo printed desk clock onto your customers’ desktops over the next year, you can rest assured that they will know where to come when they next need your services. Often it is the first supper they see, the one whose logo is permanently on their desktop that they remember and use most often.

Promotional gifts are brand builders. They are useful and they are always appreciated. Keeping your logo and details in front of your customers will inevitably result in more business for you. Result!
