The popularity of iPhones today essentially means that they are literally an entire demographic to themselves. Either you have an iPhone or you don't. Admittedly Android devices are hugely popular too but realistically (for the time being at least) iPhone is king. With the current new iPhone 5 which you may have heard about it brings about new challenges and opportunities when it comes to promotional products branded with your logo or event details.

1. Order fewer but compatible products.
2. Top iPhone accessories for branding.
3. Creative ways to use accessories.

Common iPhone Accessories

iPhone accessories have been a hot selling product here at Cubic Promote. In fact custom printed iPhone accessories alone outsell several entire categories such as Eco Promotional Products. Such is the popularity. With the new iPhone 5 though it does throw a HUGE spanner in the works as the ergonomics that we all know and love are different. This means many promotional product iPhone accessories no longer are compatible with the new system such as:

• Branded iPhone Speaker Horns (new iPhone is wider)
• Phone Cases (an obvious one)
• iPhone dock connector stylus

Is it too early to totally ignore these products in light of the new iPhone5 being announced? Well not quite. We would still recommend these products as a promotional marketing tool as realistically most phones are on contract and most people wont be renewing their phone anytime soon. On top of that the initial supply of phones are always short (its a simple marketing ploy to increase the desirability of the product and get some free media coverage along the way). This means that it would be at least a year before this new device really starts saturating mobile users. Our sugggestion? Well still order iPhone 4 & 4s compatible promotional products but instead halve your order. So instead of ordering 2500 units opt for 1000 units. Or 500 units instead of 1000 units

There are still many existing cool brandable iPhone accessories which are still compatible including

• iPhone Stylus pens
• iPhone table top cradles
• Custom Earphones & Headphones of course
• Custom Micro fibre screen cleaners

Top 4 Customisable iPhone Accessories

Customised iPhone accessories have become popular promotional products for businesses. Here are the top four iPhone accessories for branding:

• Customised Phone Cases: Customized phone cases are a great way to promote a brand. They are a practical accessory that people use every day and are always visible to others. A phone case with a company logo or event details can help increase brand awareness.
• Promotional PopSockets: Branded PopSockets are another popular promotional product for iPhones. They are small, collapsible grips that attach to the back of a phone, making it easier to hold. They can also be used as a stand, making it easier to watch videos or take photos. A branded PopSocket can help increase brand visibility and awareness.
• Personalised Phone Wallets: Personalized phone wallets are a practical accessory that people use every day. They attach to the back of a phone and can hold credit cards, IDs, and cash. A phone wallet with a company logo or event details can help increase brand awareness.
• Custom Power Banks: Customized power banks are a practical accessory for people who are always on the go. They are portable chargers that can charge a phone's battery when it is low. A power bank with a company logo or event details can help increase brand visibility and awareness.
