I am strongly against illegally downloading media. Things such as movies, music and games are items that I will never ever consider downloading. The reason is that for any product to be produced it takes a huge amount of effort to produce and a huge amount of risk and investment to even get the project started. To simply have all this effort and risk not rewarded by having an individual go through some obscure computer website to look and find content to download illegally to me is a little unethical and a little selfish.

In saying all this unfortunately I feel that I am in the minority. Many people think it is perfectly okay to illegally download mediums like books, games, movies and music. This puts a huge dent into the revenue stream of companies that put the money in to create content. You may not care about the revenue stream of a company but you will definitely care when the quality of music, movies and games start to deteriorate. For todays blog topic I wanted to focus

Get in early and start planning for Christmas. Many of our customers have already begun (many already completed) ordering for the end of the year already. You may ask but it is only mid October is it too early? Absolutely not. The bad news is that it is too late to order indent custom made gifts already as there is insufficient time for production and shipping. The good news is that stocked levels have never been higher for locally stored products. That means you will not be dissapointed if you needed some great fun products at a low price.

• Start planning and ordering Christmas promotional products early to secure availability and timely delivery.
• Custom-made gifts may no longer be feasible due to production and shipping constraints, but locally stored products have abundant stock.
• Opt for affordable options under $3 that can be branded with your logo.

Promotional Products and Branding

Here we enumerate the crucial role that promotional products play in branding a company, including increasing brand recognition, differentiation from competitors, and targeting specific demographics.

Promotional gift boxes. Do we really need them, especially when they are used to carry custom branded items. I must admit possibly half the gift boxes that we send out along with an item are generally tucked away inside a drawer or they are used to carry other stuff other than the intended item. It begs the question, why on earth would you want to pay extra for a gift box and why on earth would you even want to pay that little bit more to brand your logo onto it?

1. Enhance branding with luxury packaging.
2. Select relevant, high-quality products.
3. Create memorable, consistent designs.

Gift Boxed Merchandise Benefits

A gift box is definitely

Modern Life! - This means we are indoor for most of the day. Even if your job takes you outdoors inevitably you will still spend most of your other hours either in restaurants or at home. If you work in an office then the amount of time spend indoors will be huge. Therefore as a branded product with your logo it would make sense to create and distribute merchandise to your recipient that can be used indoors.

I know i have harped on for a while on this blog about promotional products and how they are fantastic as items for corporate gifts or as leave behinds during tradeshows. However there are certain categories of products that can get lost easily. However in some instances losing the product is not neccessarily a bad thing. There are many reasons why custom branded products get lost easily some reasons include:

- A promotional highlighter getting stolen by a colleague (on purpose or by accident)
- A meeting presentation where a notepad or a post it note is left behind by accident
- The product gets dropped by accident when you are with a client.

Those are just some of the main reasons I have misplaced a promotional product. I am sure that there are literally dozens of other reasons why a promotional product can get lost. However there are some products that can get misplaced a lot easier than others. The top 5 categories of products that do get lost easily are:

Having worked with clients in organising product for conferences and exhibitions as well as having held a tradebooth ourselves it has made us realise the importance of not only using promotional items in promoting your event but also the logistics of actually getting the product to you in the first place and actually handing them out to potential customers.

If anyone has ever organised a conference (or planning to) you will realise that there are literally dozens of things to do and to consider. Not only that but for some reason there are always boxes! It can be boxes of shirts, or boxes of material and pamphlets or simply boxes of furniture or decoration items. In other words a conference can be a huge handful. This is why if you are hosting a conference or tradeshow we would recomend to opt for products that are light weight. You and your team simply would have too much to work with than to carry and lug around heavy boxes of promotional items. Here you will find our top

Promotional items are the most effective long term marketing tool available. If you are intending your event or your business to be on-going long into the future then you should definitely investing into promotional items.

Long after a marketing campaign is done and dusted or when your fund raising event has past it is only a physical product that will remain. So make that product a useful and good looking item and you can guarantee yourself years of brand marketing exposure long after the event. How can I be so sure? Well I am 33 years of age and believe it or not I have a few products that I have kept for well over 20 years which had brand names of other companies emblazoned on it. (ie. a promotional product). The types of items I have kept include 3 different custom

The hardest thing when embarking on any marketing campaign is knowing that your dollars are effectively spent. This includes everything from advertising on T.V, on the Radio, in the newspaper and of course when handing out corporate gifts and promotional items. To use a technical term Return on Investment or (ROI) for short is extremely hard to guage. For example how can you adequetely attribute to your 10% increase in sales as directly caused by an advertising campaign that you ran for 2 months in a magazine? Or conversely what if that campaign coincided with a 10% decline in sales? Was it because the advertisement turned customers off your product or did the advertising campaign actually help minimize what otherwise would have been a 20% decline?
