Did you just purchase a promotional tee shirt? Or perhaps you are merely browsing for a shirt that you can wear on the weekends or at work. Other than the style and colour of the shirt, what you should be looking for is the quality of the garment. You may be asking, how do I check for quality? Well read on and find out how!

1. Choose garments that match your audience.
2. Ensure lasting impression with branding.
3. Focus on quality and follow-up.

Quality Garments

One thing about garments is that the price paid generally does reflect the quality of the garment. Basic economics come in play when it comes to sweaters, hoodies, polos and shirts. The more expensive the item is, chances are they are better

Have you ever bought a shirt only to find it falling apart soon after wearing it? It might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now after a quick wear and wash, it's already looking a bit threadbare.  Well here's three easy steps that will help you get a good idea on whether you should buy or not.

Put Your Clothes to the Test

Do a quick stress test of your clothes. Grasping the fabric in both hands, gently tug at it and then release. If it snaps back into place, none the worse for wear, then that's a good sign. On the other hand, if a quick tug was enough to damage the garment, stretch it out, or alter the fabric, then needless to say, you're probably not going to want to pick that one. You're also probably going to want to get away from the scene of the crime as

Just when we thought Kanye West couldn't get any more eccentric, he opens a pop-up shop in New York featuring merchandise for his new album 'The Life of Pablo'.

People lined the cold streets of New York in March awaiting the much anticipated and spontaneous store which featured crew neck jumpers, hoodies and other comfy merchandise with cool 'Life of Pablo' branding.

Mad Max Fury Road was just plain visually intense. Aside from being a 2 hour long car chase, it also had excellent cinematography and a wonderful use of colour.

A cold war has erupted between two buildings on a New York City Street - only, the weapons are art and the soldiers: ad execs. Warfare began when a lone fighter spelt the word "'Hi" in the window, using the infamous yellow Post-It notes - her letters dwarfed by the imposing nature of the building.

Soon however, the trend had caught on, spreading like wildfire across the two adjacent buildings with office workers

Selfie sticks are inherently funny. They're just a rather light hearted and somewhat silly product. It's a long stick which you attach your phone to so you can take photos of yourself. It's not something that you can really take seriously, which makes the following photos absolute gold. Take some of most dramatic scenes from action and adventure movies. Take some of the most heroic, and anti-heroic figures in cinema history, armed for bear, and spoiling for a fight. And then photoshop in some selfie sticks. It's a delightfully absurd look.

Hilarious Selfie Sticks

From Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban comes one of the climatic scenes in the film. His life threatened by soul sucking monsters, Harry Potter valiantly fires off a spell and in a flash of blinding white light, saves the

Marketing is an interesting field. It's all how you sell things to the populace. How you can convince them that it's a product that they want to buy. It's about presentation, style, image, and pizzazz. It's about representation, about emphasising the positive points and carefully avoiding any negative points. As such, marketing is often a field filled with fancy language, pretty words, half truths and occasional barefaced lies. It's rarely an outright blunt message, which makes the following parody designs all the funnier.

1. Honest marketing is humorous and refreshing.
2. Promotional products should align with values.
3. Showcase authentic testimonials, avoid exaggeration.

Logo design tends to follow particular trends when it comes to looks. Some are timeless enough that they fit in any situation, some are just so famous that they're considered classics, and then are some that happen to show their age. Here are several examples of logos taken from the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's, and for several logo designs, you can certainly see their age. Not that that's a bad thing necessarily, as we've seen some absolutely stunning old school logo designs in the past.

Old School Logo Design

Case in point, the above design. The Aquastat logo was designed in 1960's, and it looks like it belongs on the cover of a Beatles album or something. Very groovy.

Gift bags are always an appreciated part of any celebration. When you were young and it was for a birthday party it was filled with candy and cheap novelties. When you're older and going to some manner of work conference, it'll probably have lanyards, pens, notebooks, and hopefully still candy. But when you're a celebrity attending an award ceremony, it tends to be a bit... Bigger. Case in point, the 2016 Logie Awards gift bags that were given to all the nominees. Valued at $1400, it's not quite the incredibly luxurious Oscars bag, but still a nice haul.

• The 2016 Logie Awards gift bags included a variety of luxury items, venue passes, and activities.
• Gift bags are an effective way to show appreciation, promote brands, and create memorable experiences for recipients.
• Benefits of giving gift bags include encouraging word-of-mouth marketing, increasing customer loyalty.
