Hand sanitisers make great promotional gifts

What eye-catching promotional gifts these are!

If you are looking for really innovative promotional gifts then you have found the right place! Our printed promotional hand sanitisers will be used time and time again every day ensuring your brand is displayed constantly in front of potential customers.

Everyone will love these printed promotional gifts, from children who these days seem to be obsessed with cleanliness and grown-ups who can keep these printed hand saniters discreetly in their pockets. You will be loved by any recipient if you hand these out at any exhibition or event. As they will last a good while you can rest assured that unlike other printed freebies, as they are so practical they will be retained and used daily.

Our printed hand sanitisers are filled with a liquid that once sprayed on to hands is proven to kill 99.99 % of well known bugs, such as MRSA and E-Coli.

The best promotional gifts are those that are used regularly.

They really are very handy printed giveaways that protect the health of any recipient so who would not accept one of these gratefully and use it every day?

What’s more and worth promoting is that we are able to print these very quickly. We can digitally print these promotional gifts in full colour on one side in five working days so our express service for printed hand sanitisers just can’t be beaten.

The print area is 60 x 40mm so this is large enough to display all of your company information together with any full colour logo or design which will stand out really well on the clean white background.

Simply confirm how many of these fabulous promotional giveaways that are needed, e-mail the artwork and we will have a visual to you by e-mail within hours.

The hand sanitisers will then be with you in around one week! So even if you have left ordering business gifts for your exhibition or conference until the last minute there is certainly no need to panic.

We here at CompuGift are here to help you out and we won’t let you down.

If you only require the printed hand sanitisers to be printed one colour we may need a few extra days. It is hard to believe but the digital process whereby we print full colour is actually a quicker printing prices than screen printing in one colour. Please however, do enquire with us if you need a one colour printed on one side of the hand sanitisers quickly as any express orders can often be accommodated.

If you would like to see for yourself one of these great promotional gifts please do contact us as we would be very happy to send you a sample showing either a fabulous full colour print or one with a simple but effective one colour design.

Promoting Your Restaurant With Promotional Fridge Magnets

Friday, December 21st, 2012

The food industry loves our promotional fridge magnets!

Promotional fridge magnets - bottle opener style

The bottle opener fridge magnet is great for takeaways!

Those restaurant marketers in the know will understand why promotional fridge magnets are at the top of every giveaway list. Promotional gifts get your brand and logo into the hands of the customers, making your restaurant the first one they think of when they are hungry again. Promotional fridge magnets are a low-cost way to keep your restaurant’s name, phone number, address and slogan on the minds of customers.

Promotional fridge magnets invariably make their way to the steel surfaces of even the most stylish refrigerators in homes everywhere. Customers like having a magnet of their favorite restaurant, especially when it comes time to order take away food.

Check out the print quality we can achieve!

Do not just settle for any sort of printed fridge magnet. The design needs to be colourful and eye-catching, and it needs to match the colour scheme of the rest of your restaurant’s printed merchandise.

Leave them at the cashier counter so that everyone will grab one or two. Include them on take away food packaging. Put them right next to take away menus. Have wait staff present them with receipts. Include them in promotional mailings.

Every fridge that has your restaurant’s custom printed magnet is like having a direct advertising method in place every time your customers get hungry. The phone number is there for a quick take away order, and the magnet is also a reminder that a good meal can be had without the need to prepare or clean up anything.

You are going to love our fridge magnets!

Be choosy about who provides your promotional gifts. Items such as fridge magnets need to be made of quality materials that are printed sharp and colourful with eye-catching graphics. Since every piece of promotional literature from the menu to handouts are perceived by customers as a measure of your restaurant’s quality, be sure to not settle for anything less than the best promotional gifts.

Our promotional fridge magnets can be printed in brilliant full colour!

When designing a fridge magnet, stick to the basics of logo, name, address and phone number. Include a website if you have one. Make sure the colours and fonts match your other printed merchandise. Keeping the design simple keeps your restaurant on the minds of customers. They already know their favorite menu items. They just need a prompt to order take away or to visit for another good meal.

Check out how we can print our promotional fridge magnets over the complete surface!

For more information about our fantastic range of promotional fridge magnets, please contact our sales office on 01642 782455.

Promotional Gifts and Twitter- Tip 2- Avoiding The 2001 Follow Limit

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

I recommend using promotional gifts on Twitter after you pass that 2000 limit

You need more followers than you follow to get past the 2000 limit.

Almost everyone on Twitter will have been followed by people who are following exactly 2001 people. These people usually only have a couple hundred followers of their own. Most don’t last long on Twitter when they realise that simply following as many people as possible just doesn’t work.

Twitter set a follow limit of 2001 people to stop spammers and those who are more interested in gaining thousands of followers than they are in participating on Twitter. Unfortunately for the Twitter novice who really wants to be successful and enjoy Twitter, this 2001 follow limit could negatively affect them too.

This is why I recommend starting your Twitter campaign slowly and really getting into it. Follow a few hundred people and see who follows you back. Then follow a couple hundred more and really interact with those who follow you. If you notice a few people along the way who are only trying to sell to you or perhaps aren’t people at all, unfollow them.

Do this for about five days and then stop your pro-active following. Get to know those who follow you. Try to follow people back who follow you too if they look interesting.

Once you are following about 1000 people, it’s time to do some house cleaning. You will probably notice that you are being followed by substantially fewer people than you are following. You’ve got to unfollow those who don’t follow back so that you can add more who might follow you back.

When it comes to branding on Twitter, you need to have a lot of followers.
Don’t let anyone tell you any differently!

Unfollowing those people who haven’t followed you back is the only way to get past that 2000 follow limit quickly.

There are several good ways to easily identify those who are not following you back. Some services you have to pay for while others are free of charge. One of the free options is Twitter Karma which can be found right here. Using this simple – but sometimes slow – app will help you unfollow everyone who has not returned the favour of following you back.

So let’s say that you have 250 followers but you’re following 1000. If you use Twitter Karma, you can unfollow 750 non-followers and then follow another 750. Do this. Then after a few days, it’s time to do the same again.

I know it sounds a bit time consuming and it is. But if you do this boring but essential job you should be able to get in excess of 2000 followers before you hit that 2000 follow limit. I’ve done this on many occasions and have never had a problem getting over the 2000 barrier.

In my next blog post we will be looking at using lists to keep an eye on your competitors and keeping up to date with anyone who interests you who doesn’t follow back. We’re getting close to using promotional gifts now to build your Twitter brand. Just a few more steps to go first.

Promotional Gifts and Twitter- Tip 1- Following And Getting Followed

Saturday, December 1st, 2012

Promotional gifts should be part of your online marketing strategy

Promotional gifts like this Lamy Studio pen are excellent brand builders!

Over the years, I have seen many people try to boost their Twitter follower numbers by using cheap promotional gifts. Printed gifts can only work well if they are used correctly. Offering cheap promotional plastic pens or printed notebooks may work well in some environments such as exhibitions and conferences but using them to build your Twitter brand will prove difficult and time consuming.

Case in point – One of the people I follow ordered 1000 promotional Senator Pens a couple of years ago. At the time I had no idea what the promotional pens were to be used for but found out later when they phoned me for advice.

Steve, the marketing manager was new to social media and had the idea of sending out a new and stylish Senator pen to everyone who followed his company and sent address details.

Can you see where this is going? Steve and his staff found themselves spending a lot of time sending free pens to people who would most likely never become customers. The idea of enticing people to follow with a free gift may have been a good one but the way they went about it was never going to work.

You need to follow and be followed before starting your Twitter / promotional gifts campaigns

I currently manage over ten successful Twitter accounts. Having been on Twitter for what is going on four years now, I’ve tried it all. I’ve tried being overly social which was fun but took up too much time for what it was worth. I’ve tried sending out promotional gifts to potential new customers which was a waste of time. You need to remember that the majority of people using Twitter are on there to build their brands. In order to attract the right people to your brand, therefore, you need to be clever.

Follow and be followed… The promotional gifts will come later

The best place to start building your brand on Twitter is where almost everyone else does. Simply go to your Twitter page and start following people. Do this gradually and try to interact without pushing your brand in their faces. After a while, your follower numbers will grow but nothing compared to what they will when you begin your promotional gifts campaign.

Take it slowly and the right promotional gifts will eventually help you build your brand. Tomorrow I will discuss the 2000 follow rule on Twitter and how you can get around it. For now, however why not take a look at my cookery blog and see if you can figure out how I use promotional gifts there to build my brand and let me know if you spot anything of interest by leaving a comment.

Where Does Website Promotion Begin?

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Dan Toombs writes about website promotion

Dan Toombs - MD CompuGift Limited

Website promotion starts with you!

Are you in control of your website? Are you able to add content and make other changes without involving a third party? If not, then read on! Your website promotion and ultimately the success of your business starts with you and your ability to keep your website updated with useful content.

Great content will give your customers a better shopping experience. Throw in the right keyword phrases and you will be ranked higher by the search engines making it much easier for your target customers to find you.

This will also give you more credibility in the eyes of those looking for your services and/or products.

If you or someone you trust are not in the position to update your website on your own then it is essential that you get control back. This could mean either negotiating with your current website design company or changing suppliers altogether. In today’s online business world it is essential to your site’s success that you take control and add new and good content regularly.

I have found content marketing advice sites such as Copyblogger and Pro-Blogger to be invaluable to the success of my business websites and hobby blogs. Through copywriting advice sites like these, I have learned how to form my sentences and paragraphs for online readers. I have learned about using keywords in my online articles and blogposts to ensure my sites gets seen by a much larger audience.

And the best thing about it all is that it’s all free of charge!

I’m promoting my sites and business daily and it’s not costing me a penny.

Well actually almost all of my site promotions are free of charge.

Of course good business promotion is down to a marketing mix. I find promotional gifts to be invaluable sales promotion tools and use them regularly. I would not consider sending out a brochure or catalogue without my website printed nice and large for all to see. I still wouldn’t be without a business card which features my site address.

That said, none of these chargeable promotional ideas will do your site promotions any good if your site is not the answer to the visitors’ questions or problems!

You know what questions or problems your products and services can answer. Now more than ever, it’s up to you to make sure your website is up to the job of promoting this. Get your website copywriting right and the site will promote itself with a little help from your friends at Google and Bing and the social networks.

I have been in the business of website promotion for over a decade and will be offering regular free advice on website promotion right here on my blog.

I would love to hear how you get on with your site promotions. Be sure to leave a comment or even share your own recommendations! Oh and if this article has been of any interest to you, please share it on Twitter and Facebook! I’d really appreciate it.

Website promotion starts with you – the expert in your field!

Promotional Mini Fans For Your Promotional Summer Campaign

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

A deluxe USB promotional folding fan.

The warm months are approaching and it’s probably time to start thinking about your summer promotional campaign. Promotional mini fans are the perfect promotional gift for the warm summer months. Lightweight, compact and very portable, the mini fan can help to cool off your customers while promoting your brand and message. Tagged with your logo and company details, the promotional mini fan can be an outstanding complement to your existing brand promotions or handed out as a singular promotional item that will serve to remind its user of your company’s products and services.

Your promotional mini fan is available in a good selection of attractive colours and styles to represent your organisation in a personalised fashion. Choose your corporate colours or match it to an existing promotional item or campaign that has its own colour scheme. The compact mini fan can incorporate your desired colours on its body, rotating blades and tote strap.

For a few extra pounds, the blades on your promotional minifan can display a lighted message when they spin. The body has a large enough printable area that can feature your company information just as well as many other available promotional products, such as promotional key rings, stress toys, and fridge magnets, to name a few.

The promotional mini fan can be had with additional functions as well- such as a flashlight. Having a multifunctional promotional product obviously increases its usefulness, meaning your promotional mini fan can serve double-duty as an advertising tool. The mini fan is also available with a misting feature that adds to its functionality as a summertime item. With the press of a button, your promotional mini fan will release a fine vapor mist along with its concentrated gust of cooling wind. With features like these, people will be clamoring to get one of your minifans so that they can keep cool.

The mini fan is a perfect promotional item for distributing at outdoor events. They make an excellent promotional item for a sports team to hand out as fan appreciation gifts during the warm season. They can even be sold at events like music festivals, where the festival-goers will be happy to pay a few pounds for a personal cooling item. Package your promotional mini fan with another item, such as a personalised sports bottle, and watch your audence cool themselves down while your organisation’s brand is being prominently and happily promoted.

Promotional Keyrings- Enhance Your Brand With Poise and Taste

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Often times promotional gifts are gaudy trinkets passed out willy-nilly to anyone that will take them. While there are some people that will accept anything that is free, you more than likely would prefer to have your promotional gifts seen as something special and unique. Promotional keyrings, when done properly, can act as an ambassador for your brand for a relatively long period of time.

Here are some tips to help you choose a promotional keyrings that people will want to use to carry their keys with.

The first thing to consider is the material used. Many people will prefer something that is soft if it is meant to carried in a pocket. Leather is an excellent material choice for this type of key fob. The soft and supple leather keychain can be either imprinted with ink or stamped for a two-toned appearance.

The leather promotional keyring can last for years while promoting your brand in a very stylish way. The leather keyring can be straight leather only or decorated with a hard plastic or medal medallion for added finesse.

If longevity is not an issue, promotional keyrings made from soft rubber have practically unlimited possibilities in regards to what shape they can be made in. For example, you can hand out rubber key fobs in the shape of a fish to promote your sushi or fish and chips shoppe. Keep in mind that the ink imprinted on this type of key ring will eventually wear off, which makes them best used to commemorate an event.

Hard plastic promotional keyrings are the most affordable, but like the soft rubber fobs, the ink will rub off eventually and your promotional key ring will no longer be useful as a brand recognition tool. However, the hard plastic keyrings can be made with very bright colours- many people will prefer this feature, especially those who are prone to forgetting where they left their keys.

Some plastic promotional keyrings have an encapsulated imprint so that the print never wears off.

If you really want to hand out a coveted promotional keyring, metal materials will do the job nicely. If your promotional key fob has a dual purpose, such as a branded pocket knife or bottle opener, you can expect your promotional gift to be a huge hit. The best way to choose what style of promotional keyring is by asking yourself “is this something I would be proud to carry around and display myself?”

Promotional keyrings have the ability to work as promotional tools due to the simple fact that your brand will be noticed every time it is used, whether it is unlocking a door or starting an auto. If you want to convey a message of class with your promotional gift, a stylish keychain can be a very effective tool.

At Compugift we pride ourselves on having one of the largest selections of promotional products available, including promotional keyrings that can effectively advertise virtually any kind of organisation.
