Promotional Playing Cards

There is something mystical I find about playing cards. A deck of playing cards is special because it is so very unique. If you think about it a deck of cards can fit a shirt pocket yet the graphics on a deck of cards are so very special and so very recognisable. These simple cards have influenced movies, and comics not to mention their close association with gambling too! A deck of playing cards is simply special. This also explains why our range of promotional playing cards is such a unique promotional merchandise product. We simply do not have any other product that is as mystical as a deck of playing cards.

Who Invented Playing Cards?

From my research seemingly no one really knows however many think that it was heavily influenced by China due to the fact that they were the inventors of paper. However, the deck of cards as we know it today is widely thought to have been brought to the west approximately in the year 1370. The humble

RSVP Sydney Event ShowCase

As many of our clients may already know we were exhibitors in the Australian Business Events Expo 2 Weeks ago. The Australian Business Events Expo (What a long name!... Im going to call it ABEE for short) was combined with the RSVP Sydney Event Showcase and our booth was a roaring success.

Fund Raising Promotional Products & Volunteers

Fund raising for a charity or a cause is fun. Importantly it raises important funds for worthwhile causes. Therefore it is quite important to not only have a good time but to extract the maximum amount of revenue as possible.

Success defined as revenue raised, fun and enjoyment to be had and a really lively atmosphere which can only be created by participants and enthusiasm.
