Quality & Environmental Friendliness

Quality is key. If it breaks or falls apart, your brand’s reputation is at risk and so is the environment. Cheap may tick the budget box, but considering the quality of materials may save your consumer’s perception and will keep it out the landfill.

Personalisation

Make your customers feel valued by differentiating them with personalised gifts. Technology is making this easier to execute and the result delivers a powerful and memorable impression.

Tech Gadgets

Technology has become part of our every day lives, so it’s no surprise to see promotional tech based products in demand. Everything from chargers, speakers, earphones and mobile phone accessories are assured to be a hit.

Multifunctional

Notebooks and pens still remain in high demand but smart design can offer more value through multipurpose items and help tell your brand’s story.

Experiences

The dawn of the Millennials has brought back the value of experience, leading to a rise in promotional items focused on enhancing the user’s experience. People love lifestyle products that add to the creation of memories.

Customisation

But how do you ensure that this item you’ve invested in is actually going to be used over another company’s branded item? Go custom – unique, bespoke and memorable.

So now you’re worried about cost. Remember at the scale that promotional items are typically produced in, custom items are not only affordable but often available within similar lead times as imported stock items.

But maybe you don’t quite have the volume? Well not to worry, with the rise in demand for custom items, manufacturers are constantly developing new methods to achieve the same cost efficiencies in smaller production runs. Although not always possible, it’s definitely worth exploring before you purchase an ordinary, off the shelf item.
