Make your message stick with promotional sticky notes!

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Sticky notes are one of the best brand recognition methods available in today’s market due to their cost effectiveness and high marketing value.

They are great giveaways for campaigns and trade shows where a message or slogan needs to be dispersed and recognised. They will often end up at the very offices of the clients you would like to familiarise yourselves with.

Every day in our busy schedule we often forget to complete certain tasks simply because we have forgotten. Sticky notes are a god send and are excellent for prompting and reminding. They can be used for everything and anything and a typical office environment is the perfect place for them to be used while reminding them who supplied these useful office products.

Our sticky notes come in many different sizes, our most popular being the 75 x 75mm and 105 x 75mm. Standard pads have up to 50 sticky notes but we also do the 25 sheet pads. We can print from one colour up to full colour and you can choose from a range of coloured paper. If we do not have your choice of colour we can even flood the paper to get a perfect pantone. Furthermore, we have pastel colours in pink, yellow, baby blue and green.

We also sell bespoke made sticky notes in the chosen shape of the customer. This does incur a tooling charge so only cost effective for larger production runs, always something to bear in mind!

As you can see we have many options available to suit every companies needs, so take a look at our website and explore all we can provide.

Spread your message with a promotional baseball cap!

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Promotional baseball caps are a great way to promote your message as they can be worn by a customer spreading your marketing message far and wide! This makes them ideal as a promotional giveaway in lots of different situations, one of these being an exhibition or trade show.

Promotional baseball caps have both a fun and practical use at shows. They are great as a giveaway as customers can wear them straight away (keeping hands free- important at an exhibition when you are being handed lots of promotional merchandise that you can’t do anything with!) and they also keep you warm should the show have an outdoor section.

Print space on caps allows for freedom of creativity with a large space and the ability to print full colour. Think about who you want to target- a promotional baseball cap with a fashionable logo or message will be much more appealing than just one featuring your company logo- be imaginative! Also be careful in the cap design you choose, make sure you pick one that is sturdy and well made so that customers will be able to wear it again and again. If you choose a low quality item, it will only reflect badly on your company so be careful!

Show your customers you care with a promotional teddy bear!

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Looking for a cute promotional item that your customers will fall in love with? Why not give them a promotional teddy bear?

Teddy bears are an ideal way to promote your company or brand by presenting an item your customers will want to keep and have on display. Think how many times you have walked past a colleague’s desk at work and they have a cuddly toy on it- people of all ages love teddies!

Although standard promotional items such as pens and mouse mats are effective, think of the reaction you will get giving something different to your customers like a promotional teddy bear. It will become a talking point in any office promoting your brand or company not only to the customer who receives the bear but also to their colleague’s and friends.

Of course, you need to think who your target market is before producing a promotional item. What works for one type of person might not work for another. Promotional teddy bears are best suited to females or children so if these are the type of customers you want to influence, then look no further!

Print space on bears is probably more than you think. Most bears come wearing a t-shirt that can be printed full colour at extremely cost effective prices making it a low cost promotional item ideal for a number of different target audiences.

Promotional pens are a top seller at Argon Promotions!

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Nearly every person at some point during their day uses a pen, making this a great opportunity to “get your message across”. Whether they are for cheap giveaways at trade shows or corporate gifts for those extra special clients, we have pens to suit all occasions and affordability.

Over the years, our range of promotional pen range has increased and we pride ourselves on the wide variety on offer now, ranging from branded pens such as Bic, Parker and Sheaffer, to our mid range metal pens, to our classic plastic ball pens.

When branding your company logo we believe engraving is in a league of its own and has a very professional and subtle finish. However printing also allows your logo to stand out strong and bold to incorporate those company pantone colours you would like everyone to remember. The main thing to remember is that the printing area on a pen is valuable due to its size; therefore you must be clear about what message you would like to get across whether it is for a company slogan, website or contact details.

If timing is an issue, then don’t forget to ask our sales team about the 24 hour and 3 day service we can provide on a selection of our promotional pens (select stock only). This service has been invaluable to many customers in the past and our turnaround time is second to none- have a look at our testimonials if you don’t believe us!

Anyway, if you are ever unsure of anything or would like us to put together a quote for you, do not hesitate in picking up the phone and speaking to a member of our friendly sales team who would be delighted to help in any way possible, even if its just for a chat!
