Custom branded caps have always been a popular promotional item. Traditionally navy and black have always been big sellers (mainly as they hide the dirt). This Cane Print with Mesh Back Trucker cap will keep pushing your next promotional cap ahead of the pack with this unique look.

It is a 6 panel cap with pre-curved peak and twin hole plastic strap. Your logo can be added with embroidery, plastisol transfer and thermal vinyl print.

The summer look makes it ideal for summertime promotions, coastal trade shows and events, and for cruise and travel companies.

Corporate uniforms and clothing have long been an effective branding tool, in a global advertising effectiveness study, 35% interviewed in Sydney said they owned a company branded shirt.

With the summer months and the increased sun exposure, long sleeve polos and tees are becoming an evermore popular promotional item. With UPF factors from 35 up to 50 and cool, lightweight materials available with moisture wicking (i.e they increase body cooling by moving moisture away from the body and into the atmosphere), they become a favourite for your customers to wear.

How to Market On a Smartphone

Mailable Items, Promotional Product, Trade Shows, , , ,

Smartphones have become almost like a physical attachment, and we know more than half of online shopping is done on a smartphone rather than a desktop, and this is only increasing.

That’s where these little screen cleaners come in as an effective and useful promo item. The microfibre cloth can be custom printed in full colour and can be custom shaped and sized. They come attached to a custom printed cardboard which turns this into a great mini brochure.

The microfibre cloth attaches to the back of the phone/tablet with a reusable sticker on the reverse side. This allows the microfibre cleaning cloth to be used over and over hundreds of times.

The cloths are great at cleaning body oils leftover from fingerprints and smudges. Suitable for sunglasses, eyeglasses, smartphones, e-book readers, camera lenses, monitors, collectables and tablets.

Being small, lightweight and low in cost, they are great for mailers, trade shows or even as a unique business card.

Need a Summertime Promo?

The main message is the main message. A single is much more effective than multiple messages when it comes to advertising. When using promotional products to market your business you can also add in a subtle message without distracting from the main message.

An example is these Summertime hats that can be custom branded. Doing a summertime promotion, taking the team or VIP clients on an island getaway, then this promotional headwear with their summer designs just might be what you need.

Biodegradable Custom Branded Balloons

Balloons, Eco Friendly, Trade Shows,

Custom branded balloons are a great attention-grabbing promotional item used at trade shows, product launches, corporate parties and handed out as souvenirs. However, with the growing negative perception around single-use plastics and its environmental effects, their use has come under question.

However promotional balloons made of rubber or latex are made from the sap of the rubber plant (Hevea brasiliensis), and are 100% biodegradable. Broken down by water and sunlight at approximately the same rate as an oak tree leaf.

Time to get Organised for next Season’s football Launch

Corporate Events, Gift for Purchase, Incentive to buy, Sports, Trade Shows, ,

The cricket season is barely underway so it may seem odd that we are promoting custom branded footballs. The value of promotional products is their longevity, and for that, your branding has to last.

To print custom branded footballs with a life lasting branding, on we need to print these at time of construction before final finishing layers have been applied. Otherwise, we risk the brand being rubbed off through abrasion and moisture.

From design confirmation to delivery it takes approximately 120-150 days (unless you want to foot the extra bill for airfreight). So if you want to include branded footballs; the best time to start is now.

We have a range of footballs available for all budget types from generic balls to major brands like Sherrin, Steeden, Gilbert, Spalding and Buffalo.

Full-colour printing is available across the whole ball and you can use the retail brand (eg Sherrin, Steeden etc) for extra credibility. There is miniature, mid-size and full-size versions available in a range of colours. Also, the materials range from leather to PVC and synthetic rubber.

Custom branded footballs work well for

  • Corporate Events
  • Incentive to buy programs
  • Trade shows*
  • Brand launches
  • Seasonal promotions

* One of my favourite trade show promotions is to give away a miniature branded ball to all attendees with the full size available on the stand for exchange (ie incentive to buy, contact details – whatever is the trade show objective).
