USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices look very similar on the outside, but once you look at the specs you'll appreciate why businesses Australia-wide are choosing to purchase promotional USB drives with 3.0 capacity for their marketing and reporting needs.

What Makes USB 3.0 Different?

Speed. USB 3.0 devices are 10 times faster than USB 2.0 devices which means you can transfer files between the flashdrive and other devices far more efficiently than before. If you use USB devices a lot in your business then you don't need me to tell you that the faster a device can transfer the better, we're all looking to save time after all! Another key difference includes a higher

Did you just purchase a set of promotional bottles for your organisation? The idea of a reusable water bottle is simple and appealing. Save money and be eco-friendly at the same time through the use of a reusable bottle. Just fill up your bottle each morning and throughout the day with water. Sounds fuss-free and straightforward right? Well, it is not quite so simple. You do need to wash and clean your bottles regularly.

Why You Should Clean Your Bottles Daily

Should you clean your bottles? I can safely assume that everyone will say yes to this. What is unclear though, is when and how often to clean your water bottle. The answer is every day. Spit and saliva around the mouthpiece

The US Open is one of the most prestigious grand slam events on the tennis calendar. Only the best players in the world compete at the US Open, and the prize money is truly dazzling, so it's little wonder that after 20 years the event organisers decided that their logo needed some updating for the modern multimedia world.

New Logo for Promotional Products and Marketing

While many sporting events have updated their logos several times in the past decade, it's taken quite some time for the US Open to upgrade from their classic blazing tennis ball and serif font logo from the late 90's. In this modern rebrand, the logo designers were looking to bring the event into the

We've all enjoyed a handful of delicious promotional gummy bears from time to time. After all, who can resist a yummy fruity candy? Especially when it comes in all sorts of colours and flavours. But do you know the history of these delicious candies? We decided to find out more about how gummy bears came to be one of the most popular lollies on the international market!

The History of Promotional Gummy Bears

Gummy bear candy as we know it today was invented by Hans Riegel in the 1920's. Riegel and his wife started out making hard sweets rather than soft candies. These treats tasted nice, but they weren't very colourful or eye-catching. It

Practical Outdoor Promotional Giveaway

A flashlight or torch is definitely on the more unconventional side of promotional merchandising, but they can actually make for a great practical and imaginative corporate gift or giveaway for your customers. Perhaps it could symbolise how your business "lights the way" in your field, or maybe it could inspire some outdoor activities...

This is so exciting for us. After years of not having a lot of innovation in our range of personalised candy range we have recently released a brand new category of candy. This is an oldie but a goodie! The new product we now carry are Rock Hard Candy pellets which come in all sorts of bright funky colours. The best bit? Well the branding does not simply go onto the packaging but we can also make things like text and simple logos onto the candy itself. The result is simply awesome. Here are some images of what our new Rock Hard Candy look like:

The Australian Open Tennis is in full swing and Federer is looking in great form to take out the competition this year. In celebration of the Australian Open we thought we take a closer look at the humble tennis ball. As a product the Tennis ball has seem to have undergone almost no changes over the years. The shape and bounce has stayed true to the original design and the fluro colour are as unique as can be.

Personalized tennis balls have always been one of our best selling products and we know for a fact that they are rarely used for gameplay. Some of the most popular uses for them include:
1) As a ball for pets .... lots of doggy related businesses use tennis balls for dogs
2) Schools use them to hand out to students for Handball
3) Corporates use them as interesting substitutes for stressballs
4) Event organisers use them to promote the game of tennis

Tennis Balls as Holders Around The House

Last week I blogged about promotional puzzles and how we came across traditional board games turned super small. This week we’ve discovered in Linz, Austria, there was a Rubik’s Cube turned super gigantic!

Thanks to Javier Lloret, and his project Puzzle Facade, the Ars Electronica’s media facade turned into a real life mega sized Rubik’s cube back in Oct 2013. This mega sized Rubik’s interacts with players via a handheld interface cube. At any one time the player can only see 2 sides of the cube thus making the solving this already difficult puzzle more puzzling. (Though rest assured, according to the project it is solvable!)

I don’t stand a chance in solving just a normal Rubik’s so I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to solve this one in Austria either! However just seeing the building transformed into bright lights and watching another person transform each panel would be pretty spectacular thing itself.

As a kid, I use to enjoy a not so well known game called "Holiday" and the popular Monopoly, Uno and Chinese Checkers with my sibblings.  For some reason, I always wanted the game Twisters, even though I may have only actually played it once or twice in my life so far.  For some reason, the TV ads with the big family and friends scene of squealing and laughter made it seem so appealing and fun!

Nowadays, we encourage our kids to play the board games traditionally, but the temptation of the computerised version makes it so much more easily assessible. Many of the traditional games are now available on your iPad, Nintendo Wii, Playstation and Xbox (eg Scrabble, Monopoly and Uno on iPad with just a click of a button - less couple dollars).

Brandable Promotional Games

If you want to bring back of those happy memories to your staff or clients, we have these promotional board games that may spark some interest:
