Why Branded Products Are More Important Than Ever

Written by

The last two years have definitely been challenging for a lot of traditional businesses. Whilst the isolation caused by the pandemic caused consumers to transition to the online world for both shopping and entertainment bricks and mortar business were left to suffer. The tide has changed now that people are free to go back out and it is showing in the behaviour. There has been a resurgence on in person shopping as people seek to re-establish the personal interactions that they crave. This has made branded products more important than ever as a means to reconnect with old and new customers alike.

Promotional Products Nurture Relationships

 

Gift giving has always been a characteristic of human nature. Since time began people of all cultures have used gifts as a way to build relationships and expand trust. In business this is now the role of promotional products and personalised merchandise merchandise. Indeed promotional products have been used to build such relationships since the modern capitalist system was created. There was recognition from the very start that such gifts were useful in building trust and setting one’s business and products apart from the competition.

Promotional products also were a way to give the consumer a chance to get to know the business and help them identify a place where their requirements could be meet. Even in the early days of our consumer society businesses understood that to compete in an open market they needed to build customer loyalty in order to prosper. This is true today as it ever has been and branded products are a great way to do it.

Branded Merchandise can help increase brand awareness and loyalty

 

Brand identity helps your product stand out amongst similar products. By having a strong and unique identity, consumers will be more likely to notice and remember your product.

The more people that see and remember your brand, the better chance you have of making a sale. There are many ways to build brand recognition, but one of the most effective is to create a physical product that people can see and touch. Having a tangible product allows customers to associate the product and the brand. Branded merch is thus helpful in creating visibility and awareness.

Welcoming Back Your Work Force

As well as having lost face to face contact with customers over the past couple of years businesses have also had less opportunity to connect with staff. Coming back to the office can be rather traumatic for workers that have spent the last two years working remotely. It is not easy transitioning from a situation or complete isolation to one in which you are required to commute to an office and people surrounded by people. A nice and thoughtful branded products is the perfect way to make staff welcome again.

Little personal items such as a branded coffee mug are an inexpensive item but something that can go a long way to making someone feel at home again. Indeed companies are going a long way to ease staff back into the office after such a long absence. With new employees it is in a way even more important to make them feel appreciated in the office.

The goal is not only to get younger employees through the door but also to keep them in their jobs, not an easy feat. Surveys show that younger workers are comfortable switching jobs more frequently than other generations. But, with these efforts, many companies have so far avoided the labor shortages afflicting their competitors. Personalised merchandise is an important factor in achieving this goal.

Promotional Merchandise Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

 

The great thing about using promotional gifts in your business is that that they came a residual effect. Every time someone used say a branded mug or printed pens that you have given in the past they will inevitably think of you. It might just have a subliminal effect but it will have an effect nonetheless. That is why it is important to use branded products in you corporate marketing and customer relationship endeavours. For a minimal budget you will be able to achieve a lasting effect.

The Best Custom Gear for Travel

Traveling well can be one of life’s great pleasures, whether you’re alone or with family and friends—and this is true now more than ever, after two years of sticking close to home. But what does it mean to travel well? Traveling well means having all the items you need to make your trip comfortable. Whilst you can’t take everything you need with you there are somethings you should definitely consider. If you are planning on a travel related promotion you have a great opportunity to incorporate some really useful promotional products. Here we discuss some great branded items which will complement any trip abroad or at home.

Bags

A well-packed bag is one that contains less than you think you need but everything you actually need. If possible, fitting everything into one carry-on and personal item will give you more freedom compared to checking a bag or two. There are a huge range of promotional bags which make an ideal companion on your trip. Whether you are looking for something that you can check in or as a carry on item you definitely have a lot to think about. Choosing the right travel bag to take on a trip or one as a promotional item has never been easier. Simply browse our website and you will find a heap of great choices.

The Rolling Duffle Bag is part of a great range of duffle bags that we have all of which can be used for travel. They can all be custom branded with a corporate logo which is what makes them so great for a corporate merchandising range.

Luggage tags

A good luggage tag should be durable, simple to use, and discreet. Ultimately, a tag should allow someone to get your luggage back to you quickly and easily, and it should withstand the wear and tear of being thrown onto conveyor belts time and again.

Almost everyone travels at some point, and with so many suitcases and travel bags looking the same, people are often on the lookout for a good quality luggage tag that helps them identify their bags in a busy airport, train station or bus station.

Promotional Luggage Tags are a great marketing opportunity for many businesses – from travel supply companies through to coffee shops and apparel designers. They are also a great promotional product if your staff travel a lot; give a branded luggage tag to your staff members and they will be carrying your brand with them wherever they go.

We have a large range of Luggage Tags, perfect for everything from a laptop bag through to a large suitcase, in a range of materials and designs. Our Elite Aluminium Luggage Tags are great for those who travel a lot; the high quality stainless steel faster with brass screw make these tags almost indestructible making them perfect for going from plane to plane or from plane to train.

Our Shiny PVC Self-Locking Luggage Tags are great if you are travelling with a sports team or school group. These bright luggage tags will ensure you won’t misplace any bags, and the self-locking aspect ensures any children travelling with you won’t be able to easily un-tag their bag.

While luggage tags are a promotional product that isn’t often used, there are many companies out there who are in the travel game who have latched onto the great branding options that luggage tags bring. Whether you are in the travel business or in the apparel business making and marketing clothing for travel, a promotional luggage tag is a great addition to your current marketing products.

Clothing

Clothing is an important part of travel gear. There is only so much space for clothes in a persons luggage so it is import to take the right things. We often don’t think about apparel as promotional items other than the general promotional T-shirts that might get sold at festivals and events, but there is a wide range of promotional apparel options that will help spread your branding and message and it starts with your staff members.

Your customers are your best form of marketing, so getting them into custom branded apparel helps keep the image you work for and provides a modest form of marketing – a logo on a business shirt or on workwear is often the first thing that catches the eye.

Travel apparel options available include:

  • Bathrobes
  • Business Shirts
  • Jackets
  • Hoodies
  • Ponchos
  • Singlets
  • T-shirts
  • Vests

But what about for clothing for business travel? For your staff you want a shirt that will provide ease of movement such as our business shirts or polos, and for your customers, our promotional bathrobes are a popular choice. So when you think of the The Best Gear for Travel then clothing should be at the top of your list.

Socks

If you’ve never traveled with a good pair of socks, you’re missing out. A good pair of socks do wonders when you are spending hours on a plain or train. They are even more important when you are our hiking or seeing the site. Branded socks are yet another opportunity to expand your brands reach whilst benefiting your business’s most important assets. Our range includes three options:

  • Ankle Socks
  • Quarter Socks
  • Full Height Socks

The are all are a jacquard knitted quarter socks that are available in small (US 5-7) and large (US 7-12) sizes, perfect for casual dress or activewear. The socks are woven from a quality blend of 60% cotton and 37% polyester with 3% spandex added for stretch comfort. The body of the sock can be woven in up to four colours at no extra cost. Up to three of these colours can be used in the cuff, heel and toe panels

Flip-flops

A good pair of travel flip-flops should be lightweight, cheap, and flat. That way they’re easy to take wherever and it won’t matter if you lose them. We have a great choice which can be custom branded with your logo. These high-density PVC classics are world-renowned for their durability, affordability, and reliable traction, even when wet. While other flip flops can get squeaky when wet, these stay mostly silent, which is why they’re so popular in beach towns all over the world. Flips flops are commonly referred to as thongs in Australia but don’t go calling them that in America where it has a totally different meaning.

Brand Republic has a great range of flip flops which can be custom branded with your logo. Whether you are looking at a screen print option or digital print your needs are covered. This is an inexpensive item which you should definitely consider for your next promotion. Especially if you want to make an impression. When thinking about The Best Gear for Travel then promotional flip flops definitely fit the bill.

Face Masks

With travel both domestic and international face masks have become a staple item. Although a lot of airlines and jurisdictions are no longer enforcing mandatory mask passengers are still opting to wear them. This give companies and businesses are great branding opportunity. Airlines have cottoned onto to this and are providing branded re-usable masks. Others are also seeing the benefit in providing an inexpensive item which customers will embrace and use time and again.

The “best” cloth face mask is the one you’ll wear and not have to fuss with. Based on our research and testing, however, we do have a few recommendations for adjustable masks that we think will cover most faces comfortably and work well when worn properly. To help slow the spread of the coronavirus, any mask is better than no mask. So whilst a surgical mask or KN95 mask provides the best protect a cloth mask offers protection especially if it has a built in filter. Something like our 3-ply face mask should do the trick. The full colour branding option makes it even better.

Toiletry Bags

When your are on the road there are a lot of toiletry supplies that you need if you want to stay looking clean and fresh. For women and men alike it is important to stay comfortable so taking a toiletry bag with you is the best way to go. It probably explains why so many corporation use toiletry bags to build customer loyalty and branding. Airlines use them in business class and first class, and many more corporations are using them too. Even people who travel frequently and are given personal travel toiletry bags use them for gifts if they already have some from previous travels. So as you can see they are a great corporate travel gift if there ever way one.

Towel

Everyone needs to have a towel when they travel. Sure you get some if you stay at a hotel or relatives house but they are not the only towels you will need. If you plan on heading to the beach then you are on your own. So it is best to come prepared and bring your own. It is for this purpose that promotional towels are a great option. Your will always find one to fit your budget and the branding is just fantastic.

A personal towel like the Marina Terry Towel is always a great option.. The Marina Terry Towel also had superior absorption when compared with other similarly constructed towels. There are a lot of other options available like the Palm Luxury Towel which is a luxurious 140cm x 70cm plush bath towel which is manufactured from soft 500gsm cotton terry towelling offering superior durability and maximum absorption. Whatever you choose for you promotional gift or gift with purchase your customers are sure to appreciate it.

Neck Pillow

If you have ever had to travel long haul then you know what it’s like to have to sleep on a plain, train or in an automobile. Trying to get comfortable with a headrest or regular pillow is always so hard. Which is why you see heaps of people moving around with neck pillows permanently attached to the necks. There is a good reason for that. It’s because a good neck pillow makes all the difference when on the road.

One such neck pillow is our comfort neck pillow. It is an inflatable neck pillow with a comfortable soft-touch velvet finish. It laser engraves to a matt brown colour. So it is great for branding and even easier to take on the road. The best thing is that not only is it inexpensive but durable. So you know that it will live long into the future with your logo forever displayed on it.

Headphones

How to Clean Drink Bottles & Travel Mugs

How to Clean Drink Bottles & Travel Mugs

Drink bottle and travel mugs are a mainstay of the promotional industry. Heaps of corporations have chosen to integrate them into their marketing precisely because they are so popular and well received by recipients. On the flip side we all like to get them as corporate gift because drink bottles and travel mugs are so useful to have around. One of the question we have though is what is the best way to keep them clean. How to Clean Drink Bottles & Travel Mugs is something we should all pay attention to. To that end here’s some tips on how how to effectively clean all your bottles and mugs.

The natural default is to just put your travel mug or drink bottle in the dishwasher. Whilst this might be ok for most dishes and glasses it is not always true about these items. For one this they are usually branded with the logo of the business or organisation that gave them to you in the first place. These can easily come off if placed in a dishwasher. Also the bottle or mug itself might not be dishwasher safe. It is therefore best to check the manufacturers instructions to see if indeed they are ok to put in a dishwasher. Sometimes it might state on the bottom of the container, but if it’s not, check the manufacturer’s website. If your mug or bottle can go through the dishwasher then that is great. If not then a simple hand wash is the better option.

If the bottle or mug is dishwasher safe then you should remove any lids or other small pieces and securing them the  dishwasher basket. This should keep them from washing down into the bottom of the tub, where they might get wedged against and cause damage to themselves or the dishwasher. It is important to note that insulated mugs usually aren’t dishwasher-safe. The heat and water pressure inside a dishwasher can damage the container’s vacuum seal. The dishwashers can also scratch or wear away the container’s finish including any custom printed logo, as mentioned earlier..

Often with promotional products such as travel mugs and drink bottles the only option is to hand wash. That’s fine because it isn’t a hard thing to do. Especially with drink bottle which people usually use as water bottle there is not much to clean. A bit of a wash around the opening and rinse is all that is really need. Most of the time, dish soap and water will do the trick. Drip a little dishwashing detergent into the bottle or mug, add some warm water, and shake!

With travel mugs they might require a bit more attention because they are usually use for hot beverages like coffee which leave a stain. Depending on the design of your mug or bottle, you may need a few brushes off different sizes to clean in and around the lid mechanism, the spout, and deep into the vacuum bottle or mug body itself. The opens are usually large so this process should not present you large a challenge. Again some warm water and a bit of elbow grease should do the trick

If your bottle or mug has a linings that you fear can be damaged by bottle brushes or abrasive sponges then caution is recommended. For those items you can use a non-abrasive sponge to clean or some vigour shaking and rinsing. If they are dishwasher safe then that is the easiest solution.

What ever you do though make sure you regularly clean your drink bottles and travel mugs. As they say “cleanliness is close to Godliness”!

Afterward, use the drawstring to hang the bag somewhere it can dry. What a great idea especially if you live in shared accomodation such as a dorm or shared house.

5. Use it instead of gift wrapping

Instead of picking up a paper gift bag, wrap your present and place it in a produce bags. That way not only are you giving them an actual gift but a gift that keeps giving. What a great way to make an impression whether with a corporate gift of a personal one.

6. Store cords and cables

Cords and cable can really get in a mess. Especially if you throw them in a draw with your other stuff. What better way to keep everything neat. Also you can prevent damage to those dangly things by not having to pull them apart.

7. Keep Your Kids Toys in Them

By keeping all your kids favourite toys in a mess bag you won’t have to fumble around as you desperately reach into your bag trying to find one to shut them up with. A mesh produce bag with make all the difference.

8. Keep a purse in order

The same goes with your purse and your own personal belongings. What a great way to operate what you really need from the mesh mash. They can double as cosmetic bags, pencil cases, and first-aid kits. And because they’re mesh, you’ll have an easier time identifying what you need on sight.

9. Store a wet swim suit

This is one thing we could all do with. Living in a country such as our swimming and recreating at the beach is a favourite past-time. Instead of throwing that wet swim suit in your bag with your other stuff put it in a mesh bag. That way at least it gets to dry a bit on your way home and keeps your other belongings from getting wet.

10. Carry Your Shoes

To avoid dirtying the rest of your possessions, slip your shoes into a mesh produce bag before stuffing them into your luggage. This is especially helpful if you’re taking your shoes on trail runs, hikes, or anywhere else they’ll get mucked up. Who wants their smelly shoes swishing around with their other stuff. Nobody!

11. Keep your dirty clothes apart

This is a similar situation as your shoes. For travel, turn one of your mesh bags into a dedicated dirty laundry bag. These breathable bags will also air out any smelly clothes, so you won’t be greeted with an awful stench upon your return home. Think of dirty underwear and socks. Yuck!

12. Organize your luggage

The produce bags can easily double as packing bags. For instance, you can use one bag for toiletries, another for socks and underwear, and the rest for whatever you desire.

Branded Produce Bags

So if you are looking for great promotional products look no further. Not only are they inexpensive but you can count on your branded reusable produce bags staying in use long after you have gifted them away.
