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.

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.

Don’t let the British weather get you down- Buy a promotional umbrella!

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Promotional umbrellas are a popular promotional item largely due to the need, almost universally, for umbrellas. There are approximately 60 million golfers and over 30,000 golf courses in the world. All these people potentially need an umbrella so why not give them a golf umbrella branded with your company name and logo?

The beauty of golf umbrellas is that although they are an expensive item to produce and give away to customers, if they are good quality, they will be used by the customer for a lifetime, giving your brand increased exposure over promotional items such as pens and sticky notes which have a limited shelf life.

Promotional umbrellas are also ideal for companies looking to spread their marketing message as they are designed to be a mobile item. This means your logo will be seen by lots of potential customers in addition to the person who uses the umbrella. The umbrella is a very practical item particularly if you consider the weather in the UK!

Make sure that when you select your promotional umbrella, that you choose a good quality product made from a durable material so that it will last. The cost for this item may be quite high but when you consider how long it will be used for and how often, the costs will become relative to the promotion of your marketing message.

If the services and products you sell are classed as “high end” or luxurious, giving away a high quality promotional product is ideal as it helps the potential customer to perceive you as a good quality company to work with- there is no point giving these customers a cheap giveaway, if fact- it may do more harm than good.

We have a wide range of high quality promotional umbrellas available at competitive prices- visit our website for further details.

Promotional Merchandise that sticks around!

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

It is important in the current economic climate, to look for the best and most cost effective way to promote your company. You can’t stop your marketing activity altogether as this means you won’t gain any new business but at the same time, you need to look for ways to spread your message at less cost.

Printed sticky notes are an ideal marketing tool for companies looking to save money as they are a guaranteed way for your message to be seen at least 50 times per sticky note pad. This is because there are 50 sheets per pad, all branded with your company logo and message. Think how many times you come back to your desk at work and someone has left you a sticky note message- it could be your brand appearing on desks throughout the country!

Printed sticky notes are an extremely versatile and practical promotional item. They are available in a wide range of eye catching colours guaranteed to grab your customers attention. In addition to this they come in different shapes and sizes making them even more flexible. You can really use your imagination when it comes to customising your sticky notes and with a more than adequate print space for your branding and logo, your marketing message will appear clearly in front of potential customers.

Why not send your printed sticky notes out to customers in a pack? A printed pen or pencil would compliment a sticky note perfectly and show your customers that you are a professional company. Both items are also useful and likely to stay on someones desk giving you increased brand exposure.
