Happy New Year Promotional Gifts

January 5th, 2010

It’s the first day back to work after the holidays, and the snowiest we’ve had for many years. Here in North Yorkshire we’ve had the whitest Christmas and New Year holidays I can remember. Having walked to work this morning to avoid the risk of my car getting stuck in the copious overnight snow, I’m sitting here watching the snow plough try to make some impact on the roads and parking areas here in the estate, but cars and vans are still getting stuck on the hill! One particular man in a white van is providing great entertainment as he is making his sixth or eighth attempt at the hill, having seen many other vehicles complete the climb past him. One determined guy! At the moment it’s hard to imagine that this kind of weather won’t continue for the long term.

At this time of year, even when the weather isn’t so extreme, there are many promotional gifts that are much appreciated to help deal with the cold conditions. First to mind are promotional clothing items such as fleeces and body warmers or hats and gloves sets which can be embroidered with your logo. These provide great promotional gifts to give to your valued customers which will be used repeatedly or as warm corporate clothing for your employees when they need to be out and about during the course of business.

Other promotional products which would be particularly appreciated at this time of year are car-related, such as great value ice scrapers or the quality Dunlop Jumper Cable Set which also includes a pair of gloves and yellow safety vest. These are fantastic promotional gifts which could be so useful on many occasions, and kept handy in the car to impart your marketing messages on many occasions and keep your company front of mind with your targeted customers.

…and as everyone likes a happy ending… the white van guy has at last reached the main road with the help of several people shoveling snow in front of him! Result!

…and so to a New Year of Promotional Gifts

December 22nd, 2009

Last day of work before Christmas – hooray!! We’ve had such lovely seasonal snowy weather lately and I’m beginning to feel a little of the spirit of goodwill and looking forward to the holidays….but that then always leads you to thinking of the end of the festive season and onto a whole new year to plan and think about. We get this kind of ‘proper’ winter weather so rarely; it is quite nice to contemplate the different options it gives us….

If the weather continues like this, it provides all sorts of opportunities for a range of suitable promotional products to suit the season. Several come immediately to mind…promotional ice scrapers, umbrellas, beanie hats, fleece jackets, high visibility clothing, promotional ponchos, flasks and insulated travel mugs, torches and candles. These are just a few of the possibilities for a slightly different take on promotional gifts at this time of year. Many people see summer time as offering some of the best options for promotional merchandise, so concentrating on something for the colder months can suggest something different for your promotional goods which will get you noticed and set you apart from your competitors.

Promotional Gifts – Stocking up for a Great 2010

December 15th, 2009

Christmas is just around the corner now, it’s a bit late to be thinking about promotional gifts for this year, and so we’re beginning to look towards the coming year. So many plans to make, things to think about….where to start? Probably most of us will put off any real decisions now until after New Year, but you could ’steal a march’ by making a move now.

Whatever about planning specific events, it’s worth thinking about your general stock of promotional gifts. Many companies use promotional items everyday and maintain a stock of popular and inexpensive promotional items such as mugs, pens, key rings, coasters, paper pads, mouse mats, t-shirts or carrier bags, which supports on-going marketing and allows them to take immediate advantage of any opportunity which may arise out of the blue. Always having useful promotional products to hand means that you can create an immediate connection or reward with visiting clients or potential customers, which will underpin and secure further business.

Now, when some businesses experience a slight lull at this time of year, it could be a good time to consider replenishing your back-up promotional gifts, or even revamping your whole range of promotional merchandise to have something new to give to your regular contacts for 2010.

PG Branding have an amazing selection of all sorts of promotional products which would serve your company well for the coming year. Why not take a little time out and have a browse though our easy to use website for some inspiration and get a head start on next year.

Branded Promotional Gifts Have Added Cache

December 11th, 2009

When you are giving promotional gifts to your clients, potential customers and business associates, you want to create a good impression of your company and the products or services you offer. The whole underlying premise is that you want the recipients of your promotional products to appreciate the gesture and for them to feel an increased sense of loyalty and obligation towards your business. The process works towards maintaining your customer base and reaching out to other potential clients, with the ultimate goal of increasing profitability.

With this important goal in mind, the act of choosing promotional gifts to support a particular campaign or just to maintain a presence in the minds of your customers is an incredibly important one. You can spend either small or vast amounts of your marketing budget on promotional merchandise, but you always need to make sure that however much it is, your money is well invested. Your careful choice of promotional gifts is key to their success, and one way of ensuring your promotional items have that extra bit of cachet about them is to choose products from well known brands. Sports related gifts from the likes of Slazenger, PGA Tour and Nike Golf have great kudos among the sporting fraternity, while pens from Waterman, Balmain, Cross, Sheaffer and Papermate to name but a few, have an added quality both perceived and actual.

PG Branding now feature a huge collection of branded gifts to suit all kinds of occasions and applications. Do take a look at our user friendly website and select your branded products from the great range on offer.

Promotional Gifts are an Important Marketing Medium

December 8th, 2009

It is important to recognise the potential of promotional products as part of a whole marketing and branding strategy. Promotional items, if well chosen and properly employed, can be a very efficient and cost effective advertising tool for any company. This is why even large well established companies continue to distribute small imprinted promotional gifts such as mugs, pens, key rings and umbrellas to their customers. It is also the reason why when major companies hold conferences and meetings, the delegates are equipped with conference folders and conference bags to take away from the event. Discussions are easily forgotten afterwards, printed handouts, information and fliers may only be considered useful at the time but quickly consigned to the bin; only your promotional merchandise may survive to act as a reminder of the associated event. These useful items, printed with advertisements, can be used every day over a period of time, ensuring plenty of exposure for the marketing messages they display.

When considering products to include in a marketing campaign, many make the mistake of underestimating the lead-time necessary to procure the required promotional merchandise and have it printed and delivered. The task may be considered as trivial or secondary, or perhaps the inclusion of promotional products as part of the marketing plan is only considered if there is some budget left after everything else is taken care of. The truth is, however, that promotional gifts are possibly one of the most important things given out during an event because they may be the only items taken away as a reminder.

Promotional items are an important element in any marketing campaign and should be properly accounted for in the initial budget. Well considered and carefully chosen promotional gifts can have enormous marketing and advertising impact. If utilized properly the potential return on investment can be huge.
