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

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!

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

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!
