2. Strategically distribute for maximum engagement.
3. Maintain coherence, understand the audience, track success.

We recently worked with Vaxed Hats, a local Aussie initiative that sells hats showing a prominent "Vaxed" logo on the front so you can declare your pro-vax status without needing to say a word! When you order promotional caps from Vaxed Hats, not only do you get a cap that's ready to take on the Aussie sun (once we're all out of lockdown) but $5 from your purchase goes to Beyond Blue. We thought it would be a great idea to highlight the work that Tim Rose and Will Atkinson are doing with Vaxed Hats on today's Cubic blog!

1. Wear your pro-vax status.
2. Protect yourself from the sun.
3. Support Beyond Blue mental health.

2021 has seen pressure on delivery services increase to more than four times what it was last year. In fact, those ordering items within their own city may have noticed postal services slowing down more than ever before over the last six weeks. Cubic Promote utilises experienced local courier services to deliver custom merchandise like the promotional keyrings below, which has ensured customers enjoy extensive tracking options & faster delivery speeds when compared with the regular post. However, in the lead up to Christmas we are suggesting our customers get in as early as they can to get the products delivered in time for distribution before the holidays.

1. Start planning and ordering early.
2. Maximise impact with personalization.
3. Strategise holiday promotions effectively.

You can minimise the difficulty of this transition by ensuring your staff and clients have every promotional item they need ready and waiting for them when they return by getting in touch with Cubic Promote.

Why Be Prepared?
