Business Card or Promotional Items?

Promotional items of all kinds can be used as a business card, lets think about this! When you give a potential customer a business card, it goes with all the rest, probably in a file. However if you use
promotional items of virtually any kind, they cannot be filed with all the other cards. So giving someone a
promotional pen with your name, company name and telephone number is probably the most suitable and sustainable business card you will ever use.

With the credit crunch being discussed in every quarter worldwide it is very important that a buyer of
promotional items chooses the right company to deal with. Only this week a company that has been in the industry for a few years has gone bust! From the outside you cannot be sure whybut it seems to by giving product away at silly prices. As a buyer of
promotional items much criteria should be considered, in particular how long company has been trading, the structure within the company and most of all the financial stability. The problem is that many people set up businesses and think it is easy to provide a good service by being cheap in all aspects. The world has changed and everyone expects a service that they deserve, no corners should be cut. At Logo X we keep prices competitive by buying very well and combine this with great service through our account managers.

Delivery or lead times is a very important issue to anyone who has an event. Whilst in the scheme of things
promotional items may not be top of your list and in fact in a lot of cases is at the bottom, you must allow time to get the items you would like to have as opposed to the ones you have to have. Standard lead times vary between ten and twenty working days for most items. Popular items such as pens, coasters, pads and clothing can be produced by a good source in ten working days. Items that tend to take longer are products such as mugs. So remember plan ahead.

The majority of
corporate gifts and expensive, high quality
promotional items are made from a metal material. You can print on metal however the print is not always long lasting and what we mean by long lasting is more tna twelve months when an item is being used regularly. So the best and most classy way to personalise an exclusive metal corporate gift is to laser engrave onto the surface. This will take the top surface coating of and show your logo beautifully from the material below.

The wow mug is a promotional mug with a difference.
Promotional mugs tend to be straight forward with a logo so to make your mug more interesting isn't that easy. As with a lot of
promotional items, you need to find something that will make you stand out, a wow mug can do this for you. It is heat sensitive over the whole mug, so you can have any colour over your design red, blue even black and once you pour hot water in, hey presto your mug is white showing your logo clearly.

We have just come back from a marketing seminar where they put lovely bowls of rock sweets out on all the desks, guess what they tasted of nothing, I thought sweets were supposed to be sweet! Is it called rock candy for nothing? If you are going to use confectionary as
promotional items , then remember it is not only how they look but also how they taste that has an impact on your event and even worse on your brand. There are many
promotional sweets available so make sure you try a few especially the chocolate.

It is important that you the correct artwork for personalistion of your
promotional items. A lot of people get confused with the fact that they can be given a visual of their product showing their logo using jpegs. This works well for a visual however for printing purposes you will need to get an ediatble eps file. This is a file that can be changed and edited hence the editable. Most printers use these files and these file types only. If you are not to sure on
artwork try the link for more information.

Latest Eco Friendly Promotional Items
Tuesday, 10 June 2008

The Ecobutton is one of the most innovative
promotional items on the market this year!
Did you know?
Computers and monitors can account for half of the electricity used in a typical office. A single monitor left switched on overnight can use the same energy as a laser printer producing 800 A4 printed copies, - and don’t be fooled by a screensaver – the computer is still working at full power to run this! There are some ten million office PCs in Britain and 1.8m are regularly left on overnight or all weekend, according to a recent study on energy wastage. This means that around 1.5 billion kWh of energy is wasted by computers and monitors being left on – that’s approximately £115million wasted in the UK every year! Convert this into carbon and we waste around 7000,000 tonnes of carbon because of staff not switching off computers
and monitors in the UK (that’s 10% of the UK climate change levy target)! The promotional
ecobutton used correctly will end this waste.
How does the ecobutton work?
The ecobutton is an illuminating USB device that acts as a reminder and a prompt for the user to press the ecobutton at every opportunity whenever the computer is going to be left idle. This could be from taking a phone call or break, to doing paperwork or going to lunch and meetings where otherwise the computer would normally be left on. This is because people generally do not like turning off their computers because of the time it often takes to restart.
When the
ecobutton is pressed it engages the computer into energy saving ‘ecomode’. This ensures that both the computer and monitor are set to operate in the most effecient, lowest power mode available, which actually draws only the same nominal power as when the computer and monitor are turned off!
When you need to use the computer again, simply press any key to instantly return to where you left off! 2 minutes, 2 hours, 2 days – one small click one BIG change!

When you take into account the time and effort it takes to organise an exhibition, not to have
promotional items is like having a birthhday cake without candles! When most buyers attend an exhibition they will visit almost every stand so it is imperative you remind them of their visit to yours.
Promotional items can achieve this and more. We recently have given away two items with great affect and at low cost. A
trolley token key ring (you use the disc to replace a pound coin when you need a trolley at the supermarket or for your locker at the gym) and a
ruler, ask yourself when was the last time someone gave you a ruler? Yet you always need one. The list is endless of low cost products that you can give away.

Two major ways to use promotional items
Tuesday, 3 June 2008
at
· 0 Comments
There are many ways to use
promotional items, in my opinion the two most used methods are a goodwill gesture or as a reminder to the recipient. Many times your customers will place business and there is no better way to say thank you than with a
promotional item. It shows appreciation of their business and most importantly lets them know you care and that they are important. The other advantage is the second major use and that is that you are constantly with your customer as a reminder whether it be a pen, a clock, a mug, a mousemat or even the latest desk item, an auto opening calculator. It is the giving that counts. Items should always be personalised either with screen print or laser engraving. This is particularly important if you are creating awareness of your brand or company. One tip is to always put some contact details on whether it is your phone number or website as you never know whose hands your gift will end up in.
