Being in the thick of Winter is not my definition of fun in Australia.  Unlike other countries winter in Australia is a big downer for several reasons. Our beautiful country is dry.  Seriously dry.  Winter makes it worse.  Turning on any heat appliance makes it twice as bad. We love sports.  Being so seriously cold makes it impossible for me to play sport as my fingers are numb and the cold temperatures leads to injuries. These are the reasons why this winter season promotional travel cups have been so popular. One thing to keep in mind with promotional travel cups is that they are not all the same.  The key difference with travel cups is the insulation, and we will discuss them in this post.

1. Custom travel cups build brand recognition.
2. Metal cups keep drinks hot longer.
3. Ideal for

We get heaps of request for custom printed tennis balls, especially when one of the major tournaments are on such as Wimbledon, Australian Open, French Open and the US open.  However the humble tennis ball has some great uses other than simply being hit with a racket.  Here are 8 alternate tennis ball uses.

1)  Use them to save forest critters - Small animals can use the inside of a tennis ball that is opened up as a home to live in and to breed.

2)  Remedy for snoring.  Rolling onto your back increases the chances of snoring.  Therefore fix these on the back of your pajamas with some sticky tape so that will not roll over in the middle of the night.

3)  Use tennis balls to remove dust and to clean scuff marks from hardwood and vinyl surfaces.  The fibers on those fluro balls are amazing at scrubbing.

4)  For your laundry.  Use a tennis ball inside your clothes dryer when you need to dry products such

In a world where child abuse remains a pressing concern, an organization called Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk has taken a creative and powerful approach to address the issue. Their goal is simple yet profound: to prevent violence against children by creating awareness. Through their innovative billboard campaign, they have managed to deliver a message that only children can see. This remarkable advertising endeavour not only captures attention but also provides a lifeline for children in need. Let's delve into the details of this thought-provoking campaign and discover the techniques used to create such a significant impact.

1. Raise awareness through innovative advertising.
2. Utilise lenticular optics for hidden messages.
3. Apply creativity to address social issues.

It has been many years since we have supported the Australian Orangutan Project (AOP) in short.  In fact looking back at our (now very old) blog we first proudly wrote about a monkey that we affectionately called "The Promotional Monkey," way back in November 2008.

Back then this monkey incidentally called Carlos weighed only 2.7 kilograms at the time.  Now 4 years later

He weighed only 2.7 kilograms, despite being over a year old.  So what has happened to Carlos the monkey since?  Well he was nursed back to weight by the caring folks at the AOP and after several years he was released back into the wild.  So a good story right?  Unfortunately not.  Since that time the key threat to the Orangutans have been:

-  De-forestation caused by Logging in Sumatra

The intense logging is caused by our insatiable appetite for Palm Oil.  This has lead to the homes and natural habitat of all animals in the

Car sunshades are an essential product for us car owners here in Australia.  Obviously for us in Sydney, Melbourne and the lower states it is Winter and not that important.  However for those in other areas the sun is probably still resonably intense.

We love auto mobile sunshades here at Cubic Promote.  Why?  Firstly it is a consumer product that everyone knows about.  It is practical and the other than umbrellas there is no other product that is used outdoors that offer so much room for branding.  Have a promotional sunshade on the dashboard provides excellent visibility.

Cars Get So Hot You Can Bake Cookies

Cars that are in the sun during summertime can reach unbelievable temperatures.  In fact when the temperature in parts of Sydney and other states in Australia hit 45 degress + last year, the inside temperature of a car would realistically be even higher.  To put this into perspective you can begin baking cookies at this temperature at merely 41 degrees.  Your

I stumbled upon an old news article.  Apparently a few years ago, all the way back in 1992 a cargo ship on its regular run between Japan and America encountered a bit of a mishap.  Some cargo containers fell overboard and they were filled with Rubber duckies.  In fact there was 28,000 poor ducks that floated around.  Some ended up in Hawaii, South America, Alaska the Torres Strait Islands and Australia of course.  Astonishingly some ended up in Scotland and even the Arctic Ice.  What is even more amazing is that apparently there is a water current in the North Pacific Ocean.  This ucrrent of water is like a whirlpool which sucks up anything that goes into it and basically spins!  It is quite plausible that thousands of ducks have been swimming around in circles for over 20 years. Promotional Rubber Duckies are a key favourite promotional item of ours here in Cubic Promote.  Rubber duckies have always reminded us of childhood and we think

At the moment our website has a touch over 8,000 individual products, but we actually want to add more!  More choice of products means more options for you so we rekon that can only be a good thing. Now one of the category of products we have not added new items in a while is actually stress balls.  We think we have a huge range but we think we can do better for you.  Unfortunately we are a bit of a bind!  We simply don't know what you might like for your next promotional product for your organisation.  So instead of us second guessing we though we invite you to vote by simply emailing us with a number corresponding to the option of your choice below.  So without wasting anymore time here goes:

1. Help choose stress ball styles.
2. Benefits include stress relief, focus.
3. Use for promotion at events.

Preferred Stressball Style?

If you work in any company or organisation you would know that at the end of the day you would want your product or service to be desirable.  It is quite easy, if your product is desirable then that would mean you can sell your product easily or if you are providing a not for profit service then you would get more positive attention.  The hard part of course though is making your actual product or service desirable in the first place and making people aware of you.

New York needs no introduction and iconic landmarks such as their metro railway system is almost as famous as hit T.V shows and movies.  Images like the photos below are made familiar not just to Americans but also to people around the world including us Aussies.

It is with much delight to myself and many that Metrodeck has released a set of playing cards that celebrate the famouse Train subway system.  These are not just any ordinary custom printed playing cards with a few photos of landmarks though.  This deck of playing cards is an actual piece of the subway as they are made from actual train ticket cards.  These cards are very special and some interesting designs include:

-  Queen of Hearts = Statue of Liberty
-  King of Spades = New York Library
-  Joker - Coney Island
-  Kind of Diamonds = Empire State Building

What is a Wine Aerator

A wine aerator is a little device that puts more air into wine. Why is this a good thing? well it enhances the flavour of wine which would have typically been inside a bottle for years. The aerator sits on the top of a bottle and funnels air through wine as it is poured out of the bottle.
