Having a range of over 8000 products on our website may definitely confuse and frustrate. What if you were simply after a product .... any product in your company or event colour? Most promotional products come in the basic (ie. popular colours) of:

- Black or White
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
- Red

These colours may be suitable for most but probably not for all. If you had an event that had a main colour theme which is a bit more obscure like Burgundy or Teal for example it would make sense that you want your product to be in that colour too.

For most products you see on our website we can have them custom made for

Promotional Wristbands – For Charity, Fund Raising or Events

There are certain branded products which go from zero interest to a global phenomenon in a short space of a few years. Silicone gel bracelets are one of them. Who knows who invented them? I do know they have been available as a custom promotional product for decades now and then all of a sudden in the past 10 years their popularity has absolutely sky rocketed. Not just with kids neither but with celebrities and politicians as well.

Silicone wristbands resemble gigantic elastic rubber bands (except with a lot less stretch). They are a lot smoother of course so getting them on and off your wrist is quite easy. These wristbands are low in cost, come in virtually any shade of desired colour and are normally branded using methods such as:

- Printed Wristbands (simply pad printed using a machine) with spot colours of your choice for your logo or message

What is Cap Hair or Hat hair is a syndrome that affects all Aussie men and women who prefer to wear caps or hats. I wear caps all the time. In fact at least for a minimum of 3 days a week you would see me in either a promotional cap, a paddy cap or a beanie. Headwear for me is not a style statement but merely a convenience. I simply do not need to comb my hair in the morning. However, the bad thing about wearing headwear is that it needs to be taken off at sometime during the day. They do get warm and at times your head does get itchy and realistically it is also not terribly polite to wear headwear indoors anyway. When hats are taken off though hair tends to fall flat around your scalp. By that, I mean pancake flat and very very nasty looking. In this post, we'll discuss how to avoid this and the important things you need to know about promotional caps.

1. Avoid hair products, embrace conditioner.
2. Choose breathable 100% cotton

Custom Polo shirts in particular have slowly creeped into many different aspects of work wear. They are now commonly worn in all sorts of businesses and events from:

- Off-Site Days
- Plumbing, Electrical, Building and other outdoor active occupations
& more

If this season you are thinking of upgrading or stepping into a more relaxed workwear feel for you and your company you need not need to worry about your professional image and style if you read on and follow these simple tips.

Happy New Year 2013 to everyone! Whats your New Years Resolution for your work? Would one of them be to look smarter and sharpen up for you and your team? If so then please read on. There are a lot of advantages to looking smarter of course in your work. It helps to:

- Increase confidence

Simply put it makes the wearer feel better and in turn it makes everything else better. Today I'm going to simply talk about the basics first for those more casual events and tradeshows or simply those working environments where simply corporate branded polo shirts and tee shirts are required. Having something as basic as polos and tees does not mean you need to look shabby, nor does it mean you need to look like you are playing golf. There are plenty of ways to really sharpen your look

To everybody reading this I hoped you had a Merry Christmas and a 2013 Happy New Year in the coming days. We and our team are now on a short break and will return on the 7th of January 2013. So now that the year 2012 is almost behind us I thought to share through a series of 3 different posts a round up on what we have done in the past year and the types of products that have been insanely popular/unpopular, most innovative/perplexing, and best value.

1. Promotional products may fail.
2. Consider unique promotional product ideas.
3. Choose the right promotional products.

2012 Not So Popular Promo Giveaways

Starting with the products that were not popular this

Starting next year we are offering as an additional add on the option for your promotional bottle to come delivered with a squeezy squirt nib. These nibs are a step better than standard ones that we supply. For starters you only need one hand to grab your bottle and to start drinking. No fiddling around with pop tops or screw lids. Instant thirst quenching.

What makes these nibs special (other than the fact that they squirt a long distance) is that they don't need a cap to hold the water in. You see tipping them upside down like this:

Its Summer Time!...... it may not feel like it on certain days (such as today) but on other days like the weekend its definitely here. Another great summer promotional product is the promotional chiller bag. The cool thing about chiller bag (pardon the pun... i just couldnt help myself) is that their branding area is huge. They are meant to be seen! We have a huge range of cooler bags to suit all types of occassions.

Fill them up with produce and your team can use them to distribute taste test samples! Fruit, ice-cream, chilled drinks and the like would simply be perfect as taste tester pouches. Get your cooler bag in the same colour as your branding or event theme for that perfect look!

Other ideas would be to use them as corporate or event gifts. Hand them out to clients.... nicer ones for your existing important clients and dignitries and perhaps budget ones (which are still just as nice) to potential customers.

Promotional gadgets are products that are always amongst my favourite when recommending promotional gifts. Now gadgets mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For example some folks may think that a mobile phone or a digital camera is a gadget. To me they are not gadgets but absolute essentials because they perform a certain function that approaches the definition of "need" as opposed to a product that isa "want,". With gadgets I clasify as products that are merely to amuse or to entertain. This is where I think promotional gadgets are so good as corporate branded gifts.

Some low tech gadgets I personally love and would recomend them as being suitable for all ages include:

- Slinkies
- Promotional Yo Yos
- Novelty Promotional Pens
- Magic Colour change promotional mugs

For techie gadgets
