Just continuing on from a blog post I started last month in December I’ve got some more stats that I managed to source from our industry body regarding Promotional Merchandise which I thought I share with you.

A survey was done to domestic and international business travelers at an Australian airport:

Of these business people 71% of them responded they have received a promotonal product in the last 12 months.

……….. Amongst this group of people 34% of these people had this item on them at the time of the survey.

……….. Amongst this group of people 56% of them held onto the item for over a year because they said it was useful. (thats right literally year long and more marketing for a small price)

At the moment Australian companies have spent 2.02 billion in year 07 on items such as promotonal shirts, promotional caps, branded corporate gifts, promotional pens, promotional key chains, promotional watches and other promotional merchandise. So if you are in a business and you haven’t contemplated using merchandise branded with your logo unfortunately your competitors would probably have already beaten you to your next potential client already.

You would be surprised at how powerful incentive gifting is to a recipients psychology when they are ready to make a purchase for a service or a product. So give us a buzz right now…. see how we can help your company increase its sales and exposure.

Good Old O Day. I used to get free promotional diaries and promotional plastic pens. It’s definitely that time of year now for Australian Colleges, Universities, TAFES and other tertiary education institutions to start preparing branded merchandise for Orientation days. The few days which are orientation days are such an iconic event for student life that having a well branded well thought out gift not only will attract students but will literally but will cement goodwill literally forever.

Promotional merchandise for a young audience need not neccessarily be expensive. Some suggestions we have are for simple fun promotional items are always a guaranteed hit. Think along the lines of Promotional Yo Yo’s, Promotional Frisbees, Promotional Stress Balls, Promotional Desk Top Dart Sets, printed plastic bottles, and if your budget can stretch promotional USB flashdrives and promotional mp3 players are always a proven hit from experience.

Happy New Year to you all!

This is my first week back at work. Planning is important for a business to be successful. Have you thought of promoting your business this year? We have got a wide range of products for you to choose from including low prices and upper markets promotional products.

In here I would like to compare the cheaper and the more expensive promotional products. Most customer will think the more expensive products are of better quality and/or design but sometimes this may not be the case as the products are made from different countries. The differences in the value of the dollar between countries can make a significant difference in the pricing. In addition sometimes we are able to get special discounts from our suppliers. As a result we can pass the saving onto our customers. We always ensure all products are sell at the lowest possible price. Therefore please do not hesitate to contact us for promotional products advice and detail pricing.

Wow 2009!! Kinda got a ring to it. Don’t know about everyone else but I can’t wait to get stuck into work. We’ve got so many new ideas and plans for this year. We’ve stocked up with a whole heap of new merchandise which we shall be slowly uploading onto our internet site. As usual we include online prices too to save you time in waiting for a quote to arrive (which sometimes might never come).

Anyway HOORAY for 2009. We look forward to assisting you in anyway that we can.

It’s a very sleepy day I must admit. We are just spending time polishing up our internet site so that users will find it even easier and more helpful than ever before. For repeat visitors you may have already noticed added content more information and better user ergonomics. We will be spending even more money and time on our website this year. Why? Well we want you to have a good browsing experience. As per usual all prices are listed on our site with the exception of custom made products. Our prices for promotional flashdrives will be available online soon too.

Back in University I remember at Orientation days they always hand out merchandise freebies. Obviously now I know it is the universities way of using printed merchandise to pursuade us to select their institution for our studies. You know what? It works. But not only to encourage enrolments but receiving something at the start of a new year or at the beginning of a milestone does tremendous things to motivation.

Using branded products or printed corporate gift sets such as branded coffee sets, promotional branded clocks, printed calculators, branded tool sets or any other type of branded gifting does amazing things to motivation and is a fantastic start to the year after a break. In fact from experience the effectivness of using a branded item at the start of the year sets a good pace and precedent for the rest of the year.

Wow 09 is almost on us. Personally I can’t wait. We’ve really ramped up our range of products and we will be expanding into Japan as well. Yes the economy is supposedly bad for everything. We like many Australian companies know better and we’re going to persevere and offer innovation, value, service and reliability like nothing before. Why? well we’re a hard working Aussie company and we know of no other way to do business.

So for budget promotional items, funky branded merchandise or something that is totally unique and custom created it’s business as usual for us.

Custom branded stubby coolers are our favourite branded item in summer time. We’ve taken the Christmas break and decided to really give our clients a bigger choice for the new year and beyond. As a branded conference gift item which has a strong Aussie theme about it we really cant think of a better product. Right now we’ve secretly taken a peak at our competitors and yep so far from what we can see we have the biggest range of custom printed stubby or drink holders which we can supply branded with your corporate image. So whether you have an exhibition and need a freebie handout to potential clients or as a gift for staff please check out our huge range.

Christmas has come early for me today . Got a state of the art Sony Laptop. A full spec computer which has a whopping 11hr battery life and enough grunt to run Windows Vista. The size of this computer which I am blogging on right now is smaller than a book with a 11.1 inch monitor. It costs a bomb but I highly recomend it.

There is a bit of a downside though. Because this computer is so unique there are actually no computer cases small enough to fit it except for the standard boreing factory ones.

To get something really special which is tailored made to your needs is something I recomend. Much like the laptop case dilemma I have. Custom made items which suits your corporate needs really add something special to your company. Perception, aesthetics, functionality of having tailor made merchandise is not just desirable to have but in many instances can save you money as well as really setting your company apart.

In case you are wondering, yep I will be custom creating a corporate laptop bag branded with a logo to go with my Brand New Laptop
