Conference and exhibition season is here!

Wednesday, May 29th, 2013

Now is a busy time for marketers as they look to plan their merchandise requirements for exhibitions and conferences this year. With orders for these events being left to the last minute, what marketers want is products that can that can be branded quickly and efficiently. Here at Argon Promotions we are able to offer a  wide range of products for the conference season that can be branded and delivered within a week.

So what products are popular for exhibitions and conferences?

A promotional folder is ideal for conferences where delegates will be sat around a meeting table listening to presentations and pitches. All their notes can be stored in the folder and any information you hand out can be contained in one place. The folder you choose can have as many pockets and compartments as you specify and can be filled with your own branded stationary and brochures projecting a professional image for your business.

Another popular item to have at a conference is a promotional pen. Make sure you choose a high quality one that delegates will keep and reuse. You also want a pen that will write nicely and be used on the day. Pick a pen that fits inside your chosen folder to give that final finishing touch. We suggest the Contour Ballpen for a cost effective yet professional touch. Or, if you’re look for something a bit more premium, why not try a brand name pen such as the Parker Jotter Steel?

For exhibitions you need to select an item that is portable and practical so that visitors to your stand don’t mind taking it off you and carrying it round all day. Why not choose a promotional cotton shopper? It can house all your marketing literature and promotional giveaways as well as being practical as visitors can use it to collect brochures from other stands that they visit. This low cost item has a large print space allowing you to add whatever marketing message you want and get some great brand exposure as people walk around with your logo and message!

Corporate gifts that your customers will want to keep!

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

The vast majority of promotional giveaways are fairly disposable items that customers will keep but eventually throw away. This is ok if the item you produce is relatively cheap and the message or campaign you print on it has a limited shelf life but what if you want your message to last for longer?

There is a wide range of collectable merchandise available that can be printed with your company name and message encouraging customers to keep your merchandise (and your message) on display. A common example of this is collectable cars or models. This item is ideal for any company in the automotive industry from car manufacturers to taxi companies! Customers will display your car or model with pride in their office spreading your marketing message to all who see it.

Desktop items are another favourite item and if you choose the right product, are guaranteed to be kept on someones desk for years to come. Why not look at our range of premium desktop gifts- items produced in silver or brushed steel are extremely attractive and desirable meaning customers will keep them and use them again and again. Try a silver pen in a presentation box that can be kept on someones desk, this can even be followed up with a silver bookmark or calculator to create a matching set of items.

With high value items such as the above, we recommend engraving rather than printing your message to add to the high quality look and feel of the product.

Print your message onto a promotional lanyard!

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

Promotional lanyards are used frequently for a wide range of different applications. Perhaps one of their most common uses is at exhibitions and conferences- if you have been to an event this year, its likely your name and company was printed on a piece of paper that you wore round your neck on a promotional lanyard! In addition to this, lanyards can also be used to hold identification cards at a place of work, keys to allow access to certain buildings and offices and even tools.

The use of lanyards has increased as technology has advanced allowing for specially designed lanyards to now hold mobile phones, USB’s and MP3 players. This makes lanyards an extremely practical and functional promotional item!

When choosing a promotional lanyard, its important to think about who your target audience is- what do they need their lanyard to hold? Is the lanyard for security reasons or is it for a practical reason such as holding a mobile phone or pen so that hands are kept free? Make sure you know why you are using a lanyard before you select one!

The lanyards can be printed full colour with any logo or company message you want and are a really visible promotional item to use as people will wear your marketing message all day.

We have a wide range of lanyards available on our website, have a look today to find out the right one for you!

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!

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!

It is difficult for a day to pass by without a news item discussing the latest environmental issues and measures we can take as individuals and as a company to reduce our impact on the environment.
