Every month we sell over 10,000 stressballs easily. Which sometimes makes us question, wouldn't it be cool if someone took all these stress balls and created a gigantic swimming pool of stress balls to swim in? It would be similar to something out of a Scrooge McDuck comic book and it would be super cool. Therefore I was delighted to come across an article where someone obviously had my thoughts too and instead of just twiddle they actually went out and did something about it.

• The Kerry Hotel in Shanghai set a record by converting a large pool into a ball pit with a million balls.
• Among the participants were 300 cancer patients, finding therapeutic enjoyment in the activity.
• Such ball pits offer multiple benefits, including physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and therapeutic advantages.

Scholl is a brand that most people associate with insoles. Not terribly exciting, actually it is downright boring. Although I am sure their product is exceptional (I use them myself) most people will simply purchase their products and not think much about it.

• Scholl cleverly connecting the idea of a racing car pit stop to their foot care products, providing shoppers a fun and relaxing "pit stop" experience.
• The booth offered pedicure services and had staff dressed in promotional tees and race car driver jumpsuits, enhancing the overall theme.
• They gave away foot-themed merchandise such as branded thongs and foot cream, increasing brand exposure.

So how to make a brand and a product a little bit more exciting? What can be done to make people queue up at a Scholl pop up booth to find out more about the company? Well some clever marketing folks came up with the following:

The Ducky that graced our shores in Sydney around a year ago will return back to our beautiful harbour. For those who don't know the giant ducky is a big giant duck that measures 1219cm tall.

Does it do anything? No
Does it talk? No
Does it solve any problems society faces? No
Is it universally loved? YES!

We love the ducky and we will be the first to line up to wave hello when it retuns to Sydney mid January next year. However what has the duck been up to for the past year? Well the ducky has been doing a world tour and making friends all over the world. Here are some pictures of what it has been up to:

The Ducky visited us in Sydney first, because the Duck likes Aussies the best,

Spring is the catalyst for many things in Australia, in my mind though it is the springboard for the Party season. There are simply so many events that happen the moment Australia hits Spring. Just some of the events around the corner include, Horse Racing, End Of Year Parties, food festivals and countless other functions which only happen at this time of year.

It is precisely for this reason that this year we are releasing a brand new range of brandable engraved glassware that can be personalised with your branding. These drink products are perfect as gifts as we can deliver them in presentation boxes as well as to be had in the event itself. There are however several things to keep in mind when you are using branded glassware for your organisations functions.

Have you ever wondered where all those sporting merchandise products from shirts, custom branded caps, posters and literally dozens of other types of merchandise goes when a player switches teams goes? Or perhaps have you wondered how after a grand final series the players (and even fans) can get access to grand final victory merchandise seemingly within minutes after the final whistle? Well in the case of grand finals you would have probably already guessed that the merchandise has all been pre-printed. However, how did people know who will win? Has there been a major case of match fixing? Probably not, however more than likely the victory merchandise has been printed for both the teams before hand.

Here is an event that was held in Sydney this long weekend that had all the key ingredients of making an event great! The event was the Sydney Growers Market held in Pyrmont just outside Sydney's Star Casino. The day itself was sponsored by local paper Sydney Morning Herald and it kicked starts what would be a month long event of festivities around the city based on food.

Pyrmont Sydney Growers Market

They market itself was huge, every produce and condiment on offer by some of Australia's best was on display for taste testing and for sale of course.

What is it?

This is a pencil with seeds on the back. So if you ever find that your pencil is too short after you have sharpened it, you simply turn it around and stick the end of it into a pot full of soil. After wards you simply water it and keep it in a sunlit area of course and you get to plant yourself a wonderful pot plant.

Why We Love it?

Well pencils are back in favour in a big way. It is probably a retro thing, but pencils are the cool item of the moment. The second reason we love this product is that it is not only environmentally friendly because the amount of waste is reduced by re-using the back of a pencil but it also teaches you to be be environmentally aware at the same time too. Thirdly this will really teach kids about how fun nature can be but simply encouraging the act of growing. Fourth and lastly you can grow actual herbs! So draw and scribble away, afterwards you get to cook yourself up a really tasty spaghetti bolognaise! This really is a delightful
