Products for Brand Recognition

Promotional products are often accused of being somewhat useless. The fear being that once the gimmick has worn off, the consumer will toss it into a drawer where it won't do much more than gather dust, along with your brand recognition... But cast your eyes over these impressively efficient and surprisingly useful product ideas. They make so much sense, you'll find yourself wondering how you didn't think of them yourself!

Thought-Provoking Promotional Merchandise

1. Transforming Utensil Set

This handy contraption is a triple threat - knife, fork and chopsticks in one device! Wouldn't it pair wonderfully with a matching Brandable Bento Lunch Box set?

 

2. Single Serve Butter Knife

It's about time someone thought to combine the packaging for a single serve of butter with a handy butter knife for slathering that golden-yellow goodness all over your toast (or bagel)...

 

3. Toothbrush Fountain

Why strain your neck bending down to rinse out your mouth when brushing your teeth, when this modified toothbrush delivers a luxurious fountain of water for all your rinsing needs? Promotional toothbrushes and customised personal care items make for fantastic branded merchandise.

4. Handy Gum Keeper

Do you often go to spit out your gum, only to find yourself scrambling for somewhere to put it? Some genius came up with the idea of adding a strip of papers for disposing of your chewed up gum right onto the gum container.  Promotional mints and chewing gum in innovative packaging are sure to get your brand noticed.

 

 

 

5. Self-Saucing French Fry Packet

You're not often presented with a lot of option for where to squeeze out your sauce when you order takeaway chips or french fries, and for those of us who like to keep things separate the idea of squeezing tomato sauce directly onto your fries is simply atrocious. Introducing the french fry box with a built in sauce pouch - your prayers have been answered!

 

6. Drip Catching Coffee Mug

Coffee ring stains on furniture are often the pesky burden of coffee drinkers, especially when you don't always quite remember to break out the coasters until your caffeine hit kicks in... this custom coffee mug with an inbuilt 'drip catching ring' aims to remedy this problem.

 

7. Shell Collecting Nut Bowl

The awkward truth about snacking on nuts is that it can be hard to know where to dispose of the shells, especially at a party where there's no obvious shell disposal area... this trendy nut bowl with an in-built shell collecting tray is the answer to the prayers of all awkward party guests, and for all party hosts who are sick of finding pecan shells in the oddest of places during clean up.

 

8. Dust Trapping Dustpan

Now this is one 'first world problem' that I sure am glad to have a remedy for! Too often have I gone to sweep up the floor only to be stuck pulling clumps of dust and hair (both human and animal) out of the broom head. What's the point of a dustpan that doesn't catch al the dust? The designers behind this deceptively simple set thought so too, the addition of a comb to the dustpan prevents the broom bristles form becoming a matted mess.
