What promotional items work for my business?

Are you looking for the perfect promotional giveaway to promote your business?

Here's a few things to consider which may help you choose!! 

Consider your audience- who is your target market? 


Consider who you're aiming your business at and who is going to receive your products. 
You want your products to be well received, used and talked about. 
If you gave a child a bottle opener this wouldn't be well received as they wouldn't use the product.
If you're target audience was children product you would consider are drawstring bags, colouring pencils, pencil cases, note books.

What is the purpose of your promotional merchandise?

Consider what your merchandise is for and whether you need small or large quantities. This may sway you to go for a more budget item if you require a large volume.
If you're going to an exhibition you may consider items such as pens, bags or confectionery! Great giveaways which everyone loves at an exhibition. These aren't too costly either.
You may consider a more premium gift if you're looking for small quantities, staff/customer gifts or if you're a premium/high end business.

What is your budget?

Sometimes your budget plays a really big part in what promotional item is going to work for your business.
You really like the premium water bottles but you only have a £500 budget and need 1000 bottles. 
Be realistic.
Have a rough idea of what you want to spend and that will help you look in the right direction! 
If you're still lacking ideas- Our team are on hand to help find some great product to suit your budget!

Does your promotional giveaways reflect your brand?

What you hand out to your target audience will reflect your brand whether it be good or bad. 
If you're in the motor trade you probably don't want to be looking at bottle openers.
Think of products that reflect your brand and what you're business is about and this will add to the impact/use of your products.

Promotional Umbrella's

How much does it rain in the UK?

According to the Met Office Climate data, over the 30 year period, there were 106.5 days of rainfall per year on average (which counts as a day in which 1mm of rainfall or over fell). 

This means that there was rainfall on 29 per cent of days per year and on average it didn't rain 71 per cent of days per year.

WHY are promotional umbrellas such a GREAT marketing tool?

Umbrellas are a great marketing product because they have very large print areas! Not only can you print your brand/message on 1 panel but on ALL panels! (Most umbrellas have between 6-8 panels) so your brand will have HUGE EXPOSURE if somebody is using your branded umbrella!

As you can see above, the UK gets a lot of rain a year. More in certain areas than others but still, the whole UK has a lot of days a year where potentially people are walking around with your umbrella... advertising your brand all over the place! 

With the amount of rainfall the UK receives you can GUARANTEE your brand will be seen all year round! How many of us are guilty of receiving a pen and hiding it away in a draw or in a bag and never see it again?

We have a range of budget and premium options as well as walking style and golf style.We can find something to suit EVERYBODY.
