  1. Ultimate 2015 X'mas Gift: Action Cameras

    GoPro is a brand that almost everyone recognises. The small, high definition cameras are extremely popular among all generations for their convenience in shooting action packed adventures. From thrill seekers trying to get the perfect shot abseiling down a cliff to teenage skateboarders filming their tricks, it seems like everyone has one these days.

    The reason for the success is GoPro’s ability to sell a lifestyle or experiences. They appeal to the public as more than just a camera, but an attractive way of living. “They don’t just sell a video camera, they sell the memory of the wave or the ski trip down the slope,” says Ben Arnold, a consumer technology industry analyst at The NPD Group.

    A simple search on YouTube will produce millions of videos of people living on the edge, on holidays

  2. Why You Need a Promo Item Expert

    There’s a reason why people hire designers. Not only do they take all the time and effort off your hands, but because they are good at what they do. Designers understand how to create visuals that impact the eye and the best ways to organise and structure things.

    Hire A Professional

    When creating a design we appreciate that maybe a designer may know best. Whether it be personalising a magnet or a small promotional mug all the way to the interior of a building, it is sometimes best to scrap the DIY and hire a professional. Designers take the strain off making a regrettable decision after it’s too late.

  8. Crazy Stunt Using Promotional Basketball

    Have you ever watched basketball players making the ball spin when bouncing? Have you ever wondered why? Well it’s a little thing called Science!

    Recently, some guys went all the way down to Tasmania to drop balls off a dam. The reason? To show you the difference between a ball dropped with no spin and a spinning ball.

    The ball that was dropped with no spin behaved as you would expect. It fell straight down to the floor with wind being the only factor moving it from its mark. However, adding a little spin to the ball makes a world of difference. The ball quite literally flies away in the opposite direction.
