There are many kinds of promotional gifts available for your organisation to hand out as corporate gifts. Whether you are trying to build a brand or increase awareness of an existing brand, the following five items have been shown to be the most popular with both those giving and receiving the promotional gifts-

5) The Conference Folder-

No matter what kind of seminar is taking place, a promotional conference folder that dictates the theme and outline of the event is almost mandatory.

These can be simple vinyl ring binders or a classy leather bound folder with your logo emblazoned upon it. Finish it off with a promotional pen and notepad on the inside.

4) Promotional USB Flash Drive-

A relative newcomer to the promotional gifts industry, the USB flash drive can be shaped to resemble many different items that can tie in to just about any service or industry. The USB stick can be coloured to match your corporate logo and even preloaded with your company presentation.

3) Keyrings-

The promotional keyring is popular for several reasons- aside from its portable size, the promotional keyring can be a tasteful promoter of your brand whenever keys are used. Choose from several materials, such as metal, leather, rubber or hard plastic. You can even have a stress toy attached to your promotional keychain.

2) Promotional Pen-

One of the most popular promotional gifts of all time, the pen has the potential to market your brand for months or even years. No longer just available as a plastic throwaway item, promotional pens are available in materials ranging from eco-friendly recycled and biodegradable materials to premium quality pens suitable for executive gifts.

1) Promotional Bags-

If you participate in trade shows, promotional bags with a large print of your company logo are a must. Once again, you have many materials to choose from- from eco-friendly sustainable materials such as paper, sustainable cloths or recycled plastics to premium papers and plastics. The promotional bag works well as a trade show giveaway because people will use it to store the other promotional items they receive throught the event.

Promotional gifts are powerful tools for promoting your brand by being useful items that advertise for you. Pound for pound, the promotional products you choose can be one of the most effective advertising items available for growing your brand.

Promotional Reusable Bags are the Promotional Gift of the Times

Promotional Jute Bags

Just one of our massive selection of promotional jute bags

I remember grocery shopping in the US as a kid. Paper bags used to be the only bags available to shoppers.

Then it all changed. Suddenly we were offered the choice of paper or plastic bags with the less expensive plastic bags practically being thrown at us.

Nowadays, we know much better about the environmental problems these cheap plastic bags can cause. Our landfills are piled high with them and wildlife is being negatively affected too. Many shops have begun to do something about it.

Free plastic shopping bags will soon be a thing of the past and many shops are encouraging people to either purchase a reusable bag or bring their own.

Although a lot of people believe that this is a good thing, many find it infuriating. But times are changing and they will continue to change.

This is one reason why reusable promotion shopper bags are so popular. They offer large print areas on two sides. Give your customers or employees printed reusable shopper bags and they will carry your logo with them whenever and wherever they shop.

Cotton and jute shopping bags are very popular heavy-duty bags. They do not just need to be used for shopping of course. Many people use them for other activities and why not? They are strong, long lasting eco friendly bags that look fantastic.

Eco friendly promotional bags are manufactured to last. You never need worry about your groceries falling through a cheap plastic bag and smashing on the pavement again. Such eco reusable bags actually makes shopping a much easier and nicer experience.

Long lasting jute and cotton promotional bags are available from promotional gift suppliers to be printed with your logo and details. If you give your clients one or even a few promotional eco bags printed with your details, they will think about your business, products and/or services whenever they use the bag. That can’t be a bad thing.

Social Responsibility is now high on the agenda of most companies and organisations. Many now have environmental targets to meet. Promotional cotton bags and jute bags are an excellent way to promote your company brand.

So what are you waiting for? Check out the many different sizes and materials these popular promotional bags are available in. Ask for samples – they are normally free – and check out just a nice these gifts can be.

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.

Promotional Trolley Token Key Ring & Jute Bags – A Perfect Combination

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Promotional trolley token keyring

There are many different trolley tokens to choose from

Trying to find the perfect promotional gifts to promote your business on the exhibition stand can be a difficult task. There are so many promotinal gifts on the market that it can be a bit daunting. Promotional keyrings have always been popular for their small size and low cost. Promotional bags are also popular as they can carry all of the products your prospect customers pick up at the exhibition.

With this in mind, why not consider an eco bag/key ring combo. Promotional trolley key rings are extremely popular due to the fact that many super markets and other large shops are now requiring their customers to use a pound coin release system to release their shopping trolley. This can be a bit annoying when you arrive to do your shop and do not have the required small change.

Another thing the super markets are trying to get us all to do, and not without good reason, is to be a little more eco friendly. Some shops have stopped handing out plastic carrier bags all together where others are now charging for them. For this reason, more and more of us are getting into the habit of bringing our own bags with us when we do our shopping.  This trend will of course continue.

If you clip a printed coin key ring to a promotional jute bag and print both with your logo and details, you will be offering your customers a much needed and useful gift combination that they will keep and use regularly. Result! You customer will see your logo and details every time the do their shopping.
