Looking Forward to Promotional Gifts for 2011.

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

Christmas is upon us and all our plans for the season now have either been fulfilled or have to be abandoned with intentions of being better organised next year!

What we can do at this time of year is take stock of what was good and bad in 2010 and endeavour to learn the lessons to make 2011 an even better year. One thing that lots of us are guilty of in this busy world is leaving decisions until the last minute. This ultimately puts more pressure on and can sometimes lead to poor decisions or perhaps compromises at best. This is one of my personal struggles, as there are always pressures on time, but I know from experience that on the occasions when I do get things done in a timely manner, the outcome is usually more satisfying and the process a lot less stressful. There lies my recurring New Year’s resolution, and I will stick to it this year!

When it comes to the business of promotional gifts the same applies. Sooner is always better than later. Although there are many good promotional products which can be printed and delivered within a few days when you’re really up against a deadline, you can have more choice and perhaps even achieve a better price if you can get your order in early. Sourcing promotional merchandise from overseas can often reduce the unit cost, but the lead time is obviously much longer. The sooner you make your decisions about the promotional items you would like to support your campaigns and marketing events, the more options you have.

The next seasonal gifts to come into play will be for Valentine’s Day (14th February), Burn’s Birthday (25th January), St David’s Day (1st March), St. Patrick’s Day (17th March), Mothering Sunday (3rd April), St George’s Day (23rd April), and Easter (24th April). Don’t forget the end of the financial year (31st March) with budgets to be used and then the extra bonus of the Royal Wedding this time round on 29th April. Lots of national occasions in the first part of the year to hang your marketing and promotional hat on and not too far round the corner now. It’s never too early to start but can be too late!

Here’s to a prosperous 2011 for us all! We look forward to working with you.

Seasonal Promotional Gifts – the Perfect Way to Capture the Mood of the Moment.

Friday, February 26th, 2010

One sure way of ensuring your promotional gifts hit the mark and make a positive impact is to align your choices with products which reflect current trends, interests or events. The most obvious occasion that would occur to many people would be Christmas, but there are so many other opportunities to key into.

Currently, here at PG Branding we have put together a fantastic range of football related promotional items to pick on World Cup fever, which is noticeably building already. It’s certainly not too soon to be considering how your company can make the most of this international event. You could choose to align your company with a particular country, or show your international credentials by embracing the whole event. On browsing our ever-expanding website, you will find an exciting collection of quality promotional gifts, specifically chosen to inspire you to select some different and topical promotional items to support your advertising and branding campaigns. Choose your promotional World Cup gifts from men’s and women’s t-shirts, a plethora of printable footballs, caps, noise-makers, bags, towels, crystal and glassware, beach games and a very cute teddy who will support whichever team you like best.

We are also enthusiastically putting together an interesting collection of promotional Easter gifts for your delectation, which we hope to make available to you next week. Of course there will be plenty of yummy chocolate products, but hopefully you will discover a few surprises and cute characters to enlist in your advertising and branding promotions. Keep looking on our website and be the first to procure your Easter goodies from our great collection. Don’t delay; your customers and clients will love them!

Throughout the rest of the year we will keep you up to date with the latest of our seasonal collections, but you can always access our previous collections of seasonal promotional gifts and perhaps get ahead of the game for next time round.

It’s never too soon….only too late!
