We all love to travel and it’s no surprise as there’s a whole world out there waiting to be explored! There’s something that can be found in almost every part of the world, from the top of the Eiffel tower to the edge of the Sahara desert… It’s people! The great thing about promotional items is the fact that they can reach this international audience, so your campaign can reach those consumers at the top of the Eiffel tower which is a powerful thing.

The first step to promoting on an international scale is to outline a target audience and this will be different for each promotion for obvious reasons. The next step is to choose the type of promotional item that will represent the brand and this also needs to reach the intended audience for the campaign. Promotional Travel Mugs are fantastic promotional items to reach this wide audience and they advertise everywhere they go. The biggest advantage to travel mugs is that they will travel with the clients that receive them, so there’s no need to ship endless supplies across the world. There are some quite unique travel mugs available from Argon and  all can be individually customized to represent a brand. One popular choice from Argons range is the ‘Translucent Travel Mug’, this product represents good value for money and this will be reflected onto the brand.

Promotional travel mugs go further than most promotional items and along the way they meet a variety of people, these attributes make them a great promotional item with the power to reach a huge audience.

Nowadays, the range is much bigger and incorporates promotional bugs in all shapes and sizes. You can get promotional cat-bugs, dog-bugs as well as house, buses, almost any animal you can think of, fruit, vegetables, birds, transport etc. Logobugs can be customised to hold banners and mobile phones- the choices are endless! To complete the message, a company can then request printing on the ribbon which can be done in polysoft or satin.

We may not realise it but we come into contact with a uniform on a daily basis. From the more obvious member of the police force to the less prominent office worker. Promotional corporate wear is a type of uniform and it’s a great way to welcome new starters to a team and help them feel like they belong. In the workplace it is important to have a professional appearance as colleagues are representing the company and the company’s values. A team of staff can wear a similar shirt for familiarity and have the company logo embroidered for the finishing touch. So what should we think about when choosing the right promotional corporate wear for staff.

Quality is one of the most important things to have a think about, a good quality silk shirt with fancy embroidery on will look great at an up class restaurant! Customers will judge staff on what they are wearing and this will affect their representations with the establishment.

Colour is also an important factor as staff are part of a team so the colour scheme will need to be the same. It is always a good idea to keep the spectrum of colours to a minimum as this will create recognition between the uniform and the company, if a customer/client can recognise a company’s uniform without even seeing the company logo then the branding of that company is very strong and successful.

The style of promotional corporate wear is the final factor to think about, the style needs to fit the purpose. Promotional clothing in the workplace is not just made up of shirts and ties. A sales assistant in a trendy shop will need a polo shirt or something more fashionable to connect with their customers.

Promotional merchandise is intended to reach a certain demographic when it comes to targeting an audience, in most cases a huge amount of research goes into how to reach a target audience and the positives of choosing a specific audience. As an example, an established mens shaver company such as Gillette are bringing out a new razor which is better than the previous one in the market place. The intended audience for this promotional campaign will be men above a certain age. A great demographic to tap into is children, they have real purchasing power as they influence their parents buying decisions and they will one day be adult consumers themselves. With this in mind, there are lots of childrens promotional merchandise available on the market.

There are many products that can reach a younger target audience. Children go to school so they need equipment and stationary each year. Pencil cases are a great choice, they are useful items that are on view in every lesson to everyone around. Promotional stationary is also a great item as it will be used daily and will build brand recognition. When this recognition is created, the advantages of reaching a younger audience will come into play.

Pester power- parents today will buy more for their children due to dual incomes and smaller family sizes and they are put under pressure when their children want something that appeals to them.

Brand recognition- Children will eventually grow up so one day they will be an adult consumer with cash to spend. If brand recognition is created at an early age then the brand will be seen as trusted and established some years down the line.

All these advantages make childrens promotional merchandise a great seller and a wise investment for any brand promotion.

99.9% of clients in the workplace would agree there is a certain level of stress and tension throughout their week so why not supply gifts that give back to the client by providing them with promotional stress toys? It is a fact that when people are less stressed, they are able to work better and more efficiently. There are not many promotional items out there that help solve a problem without causing a problem and it is a product that appeals to all from young to old.

Stress toys are great for reducing any nervous tension and really help to alleviate stress. They are a lightweight desktop item, which is durable, portable and constantly on display. They come in many different colours, shapes and sizes, all of which can be tailored to meet your company’s requirements.

Promotional balloons make a great party product and they create a “party” atmosphere as people link balloons to to party’s when they were children.

Within the modern business world, branding is essential and there are more options available than ever to portray a brand message and identity. Promotional merchandise is one of the most successful ways to advertise a brand and a great way to reach an intended audience. This method has been around for century’s, an early example of merchandise was in the seventeenth century during the election of George Washington. Commemorative buttons were produced and handed out to the masses to promote George and to get the audience on his side. This was a successful ploy as George won the election!

These days there’s a bit more variety and choice when it comes to promoting a brand and establishing a brand identity. There are companies that are dedicated to sourcing and producing promotional merchandise in the 21st century so there are thousands of options available to companies. With a huge range and many options available you have to ask the question what is the right promotional product for my company/brand?

With this in mind, a little research is needed to make the right choice. The design and quality of the product is paramount as the brand identity will be linked to the product. As an example, a new hair salon is opening and they are handing out promotional gift bags of a poor quality. The customer will immediately link this to the quality of the service at the salon therefore a negative reflection is created for the brand. The type of product is also an important decision that needs a little thought and planning. A clear link to the brands audience is essential otherwise the brands promotion won’t reach the intended audience and the brand advertising will be a failure. A good example of this is promotional calculators. They are great to reach an audience of professionals with an academic background such as scientists at a conference event, the gift is useful to them therefore they will keep it and see the brand logo daily. On the flip side a branding promotion would be a failure if calculators were handed out intended to reach an audience of non academics as they wouldn’t be as interested in the product and wouldn’t pay attention to the message being portrayed.

With a little thought and research, the right promotional gift can reach an intended audience and represent a brands image and values in a positive light, an essential for modern companies.
