As many of you will have seen, Apple recently released it’s new iPhone. And while it comes with an all new feature list, stunning design and a lot more, it’s certainly no stranger to controversy in it’s first few days.

Designed to (once again) take Apple to the top of the phone game, the new iPhone is now water resistant, with better cameras and faster processors. But one item of concern that keeps cropping up is the wireless headphones, courtesy of a lack of auxiliary connection.

And anyone who’s owned a set of Apple headphones knows how easily they go missing! Fortunately, Promotion Products has you covered:

Our Urban Wireless BT Earbuds are the perfect choice to match to your phone! Featuring a high grade Bluetooth connection and superior build quality, these headphones are the perfect addition to your new iPhone!

Rebranding can be an incredibly stressful, busy time. So how can you ensure that you don’t get lost in the rush and still maintain the brand image you’ve fought to build?

Changing your brand, logo or message can have a huge impact on the awareness the target market has on your product, let alone the amount of time and investment it takes to fully complete such an arduous task. Therefore, planning is essential to ensure that you have the smoothest transition possible.

For us, that means helping you with your new promotional material ahead of time! While some notice is a good thing, by pre-planning ou your brand change you can ensure that you have the most time possible for your product, leading to a more consultative process with your artwork and order, and ensuing the lowest pricing possible.

By ensuring that you provide yourself with the most notice possible, it allows you to look at lower cost items but not sacrifice on quality, such as the Race Day Cooler Bag, and also ensures your artwork is of the best quality to make your whole process a success!

With Malcolm Turnbull claiming victory in the recent federal election after a lengthy campaign, the question remains – how does this affect the promotional landscape?

While elections tend to have more of a macro-economic effect rather than impacting the micro-market, we can see a relative ease in tensions around the doubt in the economy that is always caused by a potential change in government. This shift in thinking now directs us towards a period of relatively higher interest in the commercial market, especially at the end of the financial year.

What this means for you and I as marketers is that people are now looking for products and services again. With new financial year specials, new products emerging (such as our new Trumen Pen) and new interest in the market, this is the perfect time to look to expose your brand to the market.

By engaging with your potential client base at this time, you open your brand to a higher level of awareness and a higher level of positive consumer sentiment, which will do nothing to hurt your chances of growing your revenue!

Every day we see innovation in the technology space. Recently, we have had the development of the OTG USB – a hybrid system that fits in your pocket and will be the savior for phone enthusiasts and those with a real interest in transportable technology you can fit in your pocket.

Androidpit.com gives a great explanation of the OTG USB:

“USB OTG (USB On The Go) is a standard that enables mobile devices to talk to one another. Traditionally mobile devices could only connect to a Mac/PC by USB, but USB OTG makes it possible for devices to connect directly to each other. And that’s not all USB OTG can do. By enabling your device to act as a USB host – that is, to be the boss of other devices that you connect to it – you can use additional hardware such as storage, keyboards or even musical instruments together with your handset.”

So you use this fantastic tool to connect your phone to your computer or device, and from there you can use it to transfer data between the two portals. As well as this it acts as a standard USB, in itself able to carry data and files easily in it’s high capacity memory chip.

So if you want to remain at the front of the curve, have a look at something a little different.

Look down at your desk. Look in your bag, your pencil case, or your drawer at home. There is almost a certainly a pen bearing some form of logo or message on it within arms reach. Why is that?

The bottom line is that pens fall into the category that makes them one of the most popular and effective promotional items of all time – the category of products that we use every day. It’s hard to imagine a day that goes past that we don’t at least jot down a note using a pen. So if we use it every day, that a strong benefit.

The second reason is because of the variety – pens never get old because there are literally thousands of designs to choose from, so you can choose the one that best suits you, and hundreds of price points – from a humble plastic pen right through to a designer Parker option. 

So they’re popular, widely used, highly versatile and can be cost effective – what else is there?

Familiarity. A driving force, people naturally gravitate towards products they know and can associate with. Pens are a natural choice for generations of people who have used pens since their formative years, and as such recognize the value of a high grade promotional pen.

So, it seems like a bit of a no-brainer doesn’t it?

Although the point of promotional items is to highlight your brand and message, sometimes there is a certain level of peace of mind that comes with a product from a supplier that you know outside of the promotional marketing area.

A classic case in point is Bic – they have been the standard when it comes to pens and more for many years, and are a widely known brand in lighters, waterbottles, their famous pens and more.

As an approved wholesaler of Bic products, we know their quality and the impact that their brand can have on enhancing your logo and message. Being able to associate your company with a globally recognised brand like Bic makes a tangible difference in your ROI for promotional items.

Our range includes a number of items that you will have used yourself, and so will be able to speak to their quality and superior feel, but of course we are always happy to help with samples and artwork mock ups.

So to really make an impact, call us or get in contact on the LiveChat and ask how we can get started building your brand!
