Promotional pedometers are a fantastic way to promote your event. Pedometers in case you didnt realise are little contraptions which normally hang around your waist on a belt. It then counts the number of steps you take by registering each of movement. For a healthy lifestyle it is recomended you walk 10,000 steps a day.

If you are wishing to promote a healthy theme to associate with your company then printed pedometers are easy and economical. Our range of budget brandable pedometers feature 1 touch operation for easy use.

Other than budget customisable pedometers we have ones that are a little higher in the price range. The key difference with the difference is price is:

A) Functionality
B) Accuracy

Some of our pedometers can come with a radio or even an alarm siren. Whilst budget pedometers although relatively accurate can have variances of up to 10%. Its still a good indication to overall daily activity but with the more expensive brandable pedometers they can provide a even more precise reading.

Our most popular pedometer is the marathon shown below. For more information please give us a call today!

Retro is cool!! The term retro commonly refers to a theme or colour or product which is closely associated with a trend that was popular within the last 40 years. There is a nostalgic quantity which is associated with Retro as it can bring up past experiences or the perception of a past which may be a positive association with a bygone era. In other instances retro themed products or retro themed marketing may have amusing or funny connotations such as:

Promotional items is used to build a brand name and create recognition. It can give your company a favourable impression which then can be used to promote your products and services. This can give you an edge over your competitors and hence as a marketing tool it is supurb. However in the wrong hands promotional material can and has been used for evil!!!

I was reading this article on the Sydney Morning Herald and a gentleman by the name of Lord Edward Davenport has been arrested for fraudulently obtaining $6.5million dollars. He rubbed shoulders with celebrities and the rich and famous. There are heaps of pictures with him and people like Al Pacino, Paris Hilton amongst others. How he did it? Well he apparently fleaced people of their savings by posing as a business man. With a swish address and promotional material such as the products we sell on our website like Letterheads, business cards and merchandise which were all tastefully created to create an illusion that he was a legitimate company.

All this of course came unstuck (they always do) when he failed to deliver on his promises. However just the fact that he was able to use promotional items as well as his personality to create a strong enough impression for people to part with a total of $6.5 million just goes to show how effective merchandising with your corporate logo can create for your marketing purposes.

Here is some pictures of this con man:

Everyone gets bored once in a while. Ever wonder what to do when there is nothing to do in the office? There are plenty of time-wasting activities that could amuse you for a few minutes. But why not take boredom as a signal to start on some productive and positive action or simply to connect more with your colleagues.
Here are some tips to kill your time in office:
1. Clean up your desk. Grab some random stuff and make an art or make funny notes and stick them on around your screen or cube.
2. Tidy up your desk. Clean up those dust or pieces of paper or fallen hair around you. This will make you busy for at least a minute or two.
3.Try working out with some simple stretches at work. Hand rotations, leg stretches can be easily done at work and can actually make you feel fresh. You can also climb up and down the staircase that will not only be fun but will also help you stay active.
4. Clean up your computer, delete all the unwanted files, and try to find a better desktop theme for your computer.Change that freaky photo of your boyfriend/girlfriend with a hot model or actor image. This might boost your energy and affect everyone in the office.
5. If you are still bored and dont know what to do, find a new job! Lol. JK. Tell someone next to you that they’ve got something stuck in their teeth and they better clean it up.

Hope this will cheer you up and brighten up your day. Happy working

Promotional items are a great gifting tool for your business. Whether it is for corporate gifting to existing customers or as products for potential new customers. Most of the products you would see on our website do not include packaging as we understand that many of the items will be quickly whipped out and handed to customers therefore the need for box’s which will increase bulk, increase cost and increase effort to unpack them mean that other than the most products do not have packaging. With the exception of some items which have a need for a box to keep accessories together or for items which require protection.

However having a gift box does instantly increase the perceived value of a product. This is especially the case for when products like promotional pens or promotional usb keys. It is true that the packaging will be stored after the event. However the initial impression and the anticipation of opening a box does give you and your company logo an emotive marketing cache and makes you much much more memorable. That and the fact that it is simply a nicer way to present a marketing merchandise. So why not consider purchasing a gift box for your next promotional item. It may be a very very small cost but a very worthwhile one!

What is a Lech Market? I asked myself on the weekend. In the suburb I live in there are multiple community ads around the area advertising a month end Lech market. At first I thought it was an insect market but later I found out it meant to say Tech Market and was a month end local market for electronics as a nearby primary school.

So why did it say Lech and not Tech…. well it was the Font. You see the humble font is mostly overlooked by most people as being not important and not as important as the logo itself or the name of the company. However have you considered that the Font IS your logo? A font can influence the perception of you and your company in an instant. You will be judged as an innovative company or a classic trustyworthy company or an insecure company in a fraction of a second depending on your font. The font and colour is therefore critical when using it to brand on promotional items or in advertising. Whats worse than a font that conveys the wrong message is a font that cannot be read. There are many instances of this with many companies. When we work with new brands and new logos who are yet to have a font we always default to Arial or Times New Roman. It may be boreing but it ensures a critical aspect of your branding is met… and that is legibility.

Consider these fonts as an example of what they convey:

…. Font for a video game set in the future

…. Traditional family font

…. A font that conveys a traditional european feel
