Christmas is fast approaching. For many people I have spoken to this has been a particular challenging work year. It has been a good year for some and a bad year for others, however with out a doubt it has been a year where everyone has worked harder! Ourselves included. A nice Christmas present is definitely in order I say. If not as a Christmas staff gift then a gift purely as a thank you to all the effort put in during the past year will definitely be a nice touch and importantly an easy morale booster.

In the past we have worked on projects for year end gifts where the budget was seemingly unlimited. One of the projects we worked on included the customer including an Ipod along with a whole bag of goodies to each

For a lot of years the humble pencil virtually dissapeared! It was hard to find one in the office, it was hard to find one in the shops. The closest thing to pencils were seemingly mechanical pacer pencils. Wooden pencils were virtually non existent. That is until the past few years. There seems to be a huge comeback and as promotional items pencils are really hot now! Not just because of nostalgic value but because the visual and writing effects a pencil can create simply cannot be emulated by substitutes like pens and crayons.

Promotional highlighters are a great alternative to the ever popular and ever common promotional pen. Why? Well the humble pen is so popular that all but the most unique or premium pens will get lost or simply misplaced without the user thinking twice about it. Good if you are the user but bad if it has your brand name on it. What sets a highlighter apart though is that it is a product that everyone wants and needs. In fact its so in demand that people sometimes use it sparringly. It is for this reason that we think highlighters are terrific and are great value for marketing when they are branded with your logo.

The booths housed manufacturers as well as supporting industries like freight forwarding and other services for products in our industry namely, promotional stationery, custom gifts & premiums, branded toys, and brand exposure products (or promotional products). The entire show was a global hotbed of ideas and I was pleased to also bump into a competitor too! It is good to know that some of our competitors care enough which is only a good thing for our industry and definitely a good thing for our customers in getting really cool stuff at an even better price.
