Printed Callaway Golf Balls

Here's one I wished I new about a couple of years back - the printed Callaway Big Bertha ball. Why do I pick this one in particular? Well my father in law is an ex-club professional, having worked as club professional in various golf clubs for over 30 years. A couple of years ago, a few years after his retirement, he tells us he was heading out for a round at the local municipal course and at one hole he saw a brnad new ball laying on the ground at the tee. He picked it up and didn't recognise the ball, although the brand was well known to him!

On his own, he decided to use this new find for the hole he was starting on. His story continues that he has never seen a ball fly so far and well as the one he had just hit. The model and brand - well, of course, the Callaway Big Bertha of course. So for his next birthday present he asked for a box of these.

At first we thought it was a joke - he always calls his driver the Big Bertha, regardless of what he's playing with. Many shops later we finally found the ball and made him happy for his birthday. But now that we've teemed up with Jon and the team, we hopefully have a ready source of these balls and for his next birthday (later this month), he might be getting his name printed onto the golf ball as an extra special treat!

Promotional Golf Caps

I've already said that many golfers wear a cap whilst playing - the visor keeps the sun off your eyes when you are swinging, whilst the visor also gives you a marker right in front of your eyes to show if your head is moving during the swing...

Well there are a good range of promotional golf caps available. The range starts with the basic visor for just £2.95 a piece - enough to keep the sun out of your eyes, whilst not trapping the heat at the top of your head (but then again, not protecting it from the sun).

The rest of the range of full caps are then from £3.15 each - with a fabulous 5000 stitch logo included! No wear and tear on printed matter on this cap! Next up are the heavy cotton cap and the tour caddy golf cap, both selling at £4.95 each. The cotton cap is printed and the caddy cap is again including a 5000 stitch logo.

Finally, top of the range is the Polynosic Cap cap for £5.48 a piece and again a 5000 stitch embroided logo included. Get choosing!

Golf Cap Clips

You only need to look out over a golf course and you will soon see just how many golfers out there are wearing a cap of some sort. Many, when playing properly, will pick up their ball around the hole and mark it, ready to clean and take it in turn to putt in.

Well what are you going to mark the ball with and where do you keep the marker? Many keep the marker on their glove with a press stud, but many don't wear the glove for putting.

So the answer is to clip the marker to your cap - with a golf cap clip. Simple! These cap clips start at around £2.49 each and go up to only £4.23 each for a cap clip with a box to keep it in.

The actual clip is not printed, it's the ball marker that attaches to it that is printed onto. This is the bit that the player is seeing every time they mark their ball - thus seeing your logo out of the corner of their eye every time they are concentrating on their play.

You might like to use these as a cheap giveaway or if you own a golf shop, sell them to players heading out onto the course as a souvenir of their day's visit to your course.

Promotional Golf Ball Retriever

There is currently only one promotional golf ball retriever in the catalgoue - but how many variations can you really use? Last time I was sitting in the cafe overlooking the first tee, there was a small group of ladies fresh off the course discussing the benefits of these items and how they could have recovered the ball lost in the water on the 6th had they had one...

And it's not just water traps that these nifty little tools help you recover your ball from. Although, as the ladies discussed, they do not help you lift the ball out of the hole (it must take more effort to walk back to the bag to collect the retriever than just to bend down and lift up the ball) they can also recover golf balls from nettles, thorns and more (you can tell the quality of my golf!). As long as you can see the ball, you can retrieve it.

There is an excellent printing area on the golf ball retriever of 14mm by 60mm, with the compressed length of the tool coming in at only 105cm, yet extending to over two and a half times that length to really reach those awkward balls.

This item should really help your recipients cut down their expenditure on replacement balls - and every time they recover a ball it will be your name on show to them.

Tuesday 3 June 2008

Printed Golf Bag Tags

Here's an item that's simple, but has many uses and needs. The printed golf bag tag, or sometimes seen as the promotional golf bag tag is sometimes seen as an essential.

For some golf clubs with regular members and visitors, quite often the bag tag is required to identify members' and visitors' bags. But you may also want to identify bags of competitors in a club competition. Or if you are arranging a golf holiday or are a travel agent booking golf holidays for clients, then golf bag tags can be useful to ensure the owner's spot their bags when they come off the plane.

There is a good choice of golf bag tags. From the cheap and cheerful plastic bag tag for around 77 pence a piece to the leather golf bag tag for just under £3 a piece and up to the really fancy golf fob for about £3.50 each - this one is a really expensive looking item on a clip, ready to attach to the bag.

Monday 2 June 2008

Promotional Golf Accessories

There are a great range of promotional golf accessories to go along with any marketing campagin you are planning or gettig ready to run. The basic ones, along the lines of the printed golf balls I've already looked at, are the golf balls and golf tees in a tube.

At the other end of the spectrum is the hanging garment carrier - for just over £42 each, these items can be used to carry golf clothing or any other clothing you wish to carry, transport and protect.

Or are you looking for something more suited to a mass distribution or a utility tool? Then there is is the choice of the cleaner for just a few pounds each; the flasks to keep your recipients warm and hydrated out on the course; the putt return for practising the swing and really looking like those American films you see and the rather elegant shoe shine kit - a real bargain and surprise at only around £3.10 a piece!

Tuesday 27 May 2008

Promotional Golf Umbrellas

There's a wide range of promotional golf umbrellas to suit every budget. From the Dye-Sublaminated Umbrellas, for around £3.28 each with panels measuing 180mm by 180mm to the Callaway Vented Umbrella with the Callaway logo printed on 4 panels to show the quality and your choice of logo printed in up to 5 colours on the remaining 2 panels. This promotional umbrella does have a price tag to match - £20.40 each!

There's a good range of other golfing umbrellas as well. More middle of the road prices are there for the storm umbrella at just under £10 each and the vented umbrella at under £15 each. There are also other storm umbrellas for £9.65 each and other vented umbrellas at £11.25 each.

Monday 26 May 2008

Promotional Tees

Before Jon is on my back for forgetting to post, let's get back on with the promotional golf items and look at promotional tees. I'll look at the individual products in more detail at a later date, but here's an overview for now.

You can get your promotional golf tees packaged in different ways. And it depends how you will use them what's going to be best. There's a wide range of boxes of tees for those feeling generous (or giving them to the likes of my wife with her ability to lose golf tees on every tee shot...) or use the boxes to distibute them individually. Or, if you want to be a bit more classy and useful, give the golf tees out in golf bars. These handy little accessories hold some tees and usually a ball marker or two and can be clipped to the side of the bag for easy access. That's how I hold mine and it usually returns full - unless my wife has done really badly and started using my tees as well.

Leaving her ability to 'distribute' promotional tees across courses in the North West alone, basic tee bars come with 12 golf tees, a divot repair tool and a ball marker. Your logo can be printed onto the divot repair tool and they are around £1.65 each. The top of the range tee bar has the same items, but your logo can be printed not only on the divot repair tool but also onto the ball marker, and the entire item has a much higher price tag feel to it.

If you want something with a bit more of a price tag feel to it then look at the golf tee tin. For around £4.41 each these excellent promotional tees come in a brass box with your logo printed onto the lid.

If you just want a pile of promotional tees, then they can be printed from around 4p each - then just leave them on boxes on counters for sale or as free gifts.

Promotional Golf Balls

One of the best and well known Golfing promotional products must be the promotional golf balls. These can be any make that you wish, including lake balls and can be printed with absolutely any logo that you wish to or a message.

We can print in full colour, so can even print full colour photographs onto golf balls. If you are arranging a small event, such as a stag night, why not get a set of balls printed per person - each with their own colour picture? No arguing there with who's ball you have just find. Or if you want something a little less complicated, we can print names or signatures onto the balls for you.

And these don't even need to be printed n their own. We have printed golf ball customers who have their logo printed on one side of the ball and then the player's name on the other side.

If you are interested in getting some golf balls printed, thenlook at the site at the golf ball price calculator. Using this calculator you can determine the exact cost of your order, including a VAT breakdown. No sudden surprises when you get the total price!

Friday 2 May 2008

Promotional Stress Star

Here's the last of the promotional stress shapes for us to review. The low priced stress star is a bright eye catching toy ready for your logo to be printed onto the centre.

This toy could be used for any marketing campaign as it is totally generic. They are also excellent value for money - they start at around only 66 pence each, so for example, an order of 1000 would cost around just £660.

Smaller orders of 500 stress stars attract a price of just 69 pence each. So an order of 500 would cost you around £345 and for the minimum order of 250, the price of your investment is just 74 pence each, working out at only £185 for the stress stars.

Thursday 1 May 2008

Promotional Stress Cubes

We're almost at the end of our journey through stress shapes with just a couple of generic shapes left to cover. These are suitable for any industry as they are without immediate connections.

The stress cube is a small, compact cube ready for your promotional message to be added to one face.

It starts at £1.04 each, so for example an order of 1000 units would cost around £1040. With smaller orders the costs increases to £1.07 each - so around £535 for orders of 500 stress cubes. And if you are ordering the minimum order quantity then the price would be £277.50 for 250 stress cubes, or just £1.11 each.

Wednesday 30 April 2008

Promotional Stress Airplane

What could be more stressful than flying? Well, probably a lot of things, but it's a good excuse for a promotional stress airplane to calm the stress!

These could be used for many companies. Starting a travel agents? Well these toy shaped jumbo jet airplanes could spread your message. Or maybe you are a holiday provider, freight mover, transport, holiday insurance broker or many more. Even a provider of kid's toys could find these an excellent promotional idea.

They are a little more expensive than some promotional stress shapes. The cheapest orders are £1.02 for orders of 1000 airplanes - that's around £1020 for the order. Smaller orders of 500 will cost around £1.07 each - which works out at around £535 for 500 airplances. And the minimum order quantity of 250 would cost you around £277.50 - or £1.11 each.

Tuesday 29 April 2008

Promotional Stress Wheelie Bin

It doesn't matter (within reason) what your business is, the stress wheelie bin is very topical as wheelie bins and recycling are in the news a lot.

These are novel little items to be left standing on desks and shelves. Especially useful your recipients are in an area cocnverting to wheelie bins or where recycling is in the news, or if you are involved directly in waste disposal or recycling!

The lowest cost is for orders of 1000 plus. With this order quantity they are just 83 pence each, or £830 for 1000 units. At 500 bins they cost 86 pence each - making 500 bins around £430 total. And for the minimum order quantity of 250 they are just 89 pence each - a total of about £225.50.

Monday 28 April 2008

Promotional Stress TV

For many electrical retailers, computer suppliers, electrical repairers and many other electronic related businesses, the promotional stress TV would be an appropriate toy gift.

They do start from 81 pence per stress TV - this means that an order of 1000 units, for example, would be around £810. For smaller orders, say of 500 units, this price increases slightly to around £420, or 84 pence per TV. And for minimum orders of 250 units the price is 89 pence each - making 250 units about £222.50.

Good value for a novel little toy. Speak to Jon now about your order.

Sunday 27 April 2008

Promotional Stress Mice

Here's another one for me - the excellent promotional stress mice. This could just be what I need to be sending to my own web design customers at Christmas.

So who could use stress mice? Loads of people! Even if you aren't computer related but want to advertise your website, then these could be slipped into shopping bags with the rest of purchases and into orders as they are packed.

Of course, for web designers, computer repairers, computer suppliers, office suppliers etc then they are an obvious idea. But if you want to remind people that they can, for example, get an insurance quote at the click of a button on your website - then what better promotional idea do you need than this!

And best of all they are amongst the lowest price stress shapes. From only 74 pence each on large orders, this works out at £740 for 1000 stress mice. Medium orders are 77 pence each for 500 - that's £385 for the batch. And for the lowest order quantity of 250 they are just 81 pence each - £202.50 for the lot.

Of course, these are only guide prices for the different quantities and as long as your order is above the minimum order quantity of 250 stress shapes then you can have as many as you need.

Saturday 26 April 2008

Promotional Stress House

Have you ever moved house? Then you will know what a stressful time that is and how useful a promotional stress house would be!

Print it with your logo and message and if you are house related this could be a really good item for you. Maybe you are a tradesman or supplying tradesmen? Or maybe the stress house would be good for you if you supply DIYers and want them to keep coming back? Or do you want to remind them where they bought there home insurance, their new windows or other household supplies from?

There's loads of promotional uses for these stress toys, I could probably fill this page with dozens of more ideas - but I won't!

They are a good price as well. Large orders start at 99 pence each - so just £990 for 1000 toys. 500 stress house toys would cost £510 - that's £1.02 each. And for low minimum orders of 250 they are £1.05 each - totally £262.50.

Friday 25 April 2008

Promotional Stress Golf Balls

Here's one that does really appeal to me and must have loads of potential. I can just see this being the source of many practical jokes and ribbings = and if your logo is on there, it's going to be seen.

The promotional stress golf ball is shaped just like a proper golf ball and ready to have your logo imprinted onto it. It is, unfortunately, a little more expensive than most stress shapes, starting at £1.02 for large orders. This works out at £1020 for 1000 items. For medium sized orders of 500 units this increases slightly to £1.07 per stress ball, or £535 for the order. And for the low minimum order quantity it's £1.11 per ball, or £277.50 for 250 stress balls.

Not the cheapest stress shape about, but you can imagine golfers on the course pulling one out to squeeze after a bad shot and showing their fellow players and joking about playing with that instead.

A great little stress item. Well worth the slight extra cost.

Thursday 24 April 2008

Promotional Stress Pyramid

Do you want a novel stress shape for your latest promotional campaign? Want something a little less boring that than a plain old blob? Then look at the Promotional Stress Pyramid from only 81 pence each.

These 4 sided pyramids (plus base!!!) are an attractive eye-catcher. There's plenty of space for your logo and the shape should appeal to plenty of people. These are going to be placed on desks, which will no doubt spread the word of your marketing campaign. What better way to spread your message other than having it left on show constantly.

These items are available for £810 for 1000 and only 84 pence each for orders of 250 - that's £420. Minimum orders of 250 are £222.50 - or 89 pence each.

Wednesday 23 April 2008

Promotional Stress World

The stress world is a novel little item. A good easy round shape to fit the hands and a colourful, noticeable item.

From 74 pence each for large orders, that's only £740 for 1000 stress worlds. This increases to 77 pence each for orders of 500 (£385) and 81 pence for minimum orders of 250, which works out at only £202.50.

An excellent idea where travel, deliveries, environment etc are concerned, or just when you want you want to give a global message.

These novel little stress shapes are bound to catch attention, so get some printed with your logo today!

Tuesday 22 April 2008

Promotional Stress Hard Hats

There is definitely a growing interest in promotional stress shapes - not sure whether that's a result of this blog or it would have happened anyway. But here's an item that is sure to be popular - the promotional stress hard hat.

This could be used for so many situations. Builders and tradesmen are obvious, but what about places organising hen nights etc? Loads of uses!

From 72 pence each for a thousand (£720) upto 83 pence each for 250 (£207.50), they are good value for your money.

Monday 21 April 2008

Promotional Stress Lorries

The promotional stress lorries are very similar to yesterday's stress vans, only lorry shaped!

The same price range - £1.04 each for large orders, increasing by 3p each for medium orders and another 4p each for small orders, giving orders of 250 units a cost of about £277.50. These are great presents for anyone using lorries in their turn of work. Removal firms, storage, hauliers etc. Be remembered with your customers with these excellent toys.

Sunday 20 April 2008

Promotional Stress Vans

If your business uses it's own vans, then the stress vans can be printed to match your own livery to really represnt you well.

From window cleaners, to couriers, to plumbers, electricians and carpenters, if your business uses a van then remind people of you. These excellent stress shapes are a touch more expensive, starting at £1.04 up to £1.11 each. This makes 250 units cost just £277.50.

These are neat little toys and gifts and should go down really well with your customers - make sure you get plenty!

Saturday 19 April 2008

Promotional Stress Footballs

After the stress rubgy balls, the ever so slightly cheaper promotional stress footballs. These start from 72 pence per stress ball and are around £207 for 250.

Obviously, many pubs showing football matches, football clubs, sports shops, kit suppliers, sports grounds, after dinner speakers etc will be able to benefit from these. Even if you are targetting schools etc then it's likely that these will appeal to your customers.

Friday 18 April 2008

Promotional Stress Rugby Balls

Not all of the stress shapes are neutral and plain - yet some of the definite shapes can still be applied outside of the obvious fields.

The stress rugby balls start from 74p each, with orders of 250 costing around £207.50. If you are aranging sports meetings, or you are a sports related company or promoting to sports companies then these could be for you.

Not only that, pubs, clubs etc who have clientel who are interested in sports could benefit. Maybe print your logo and a message that you screen live matches. Loads of people could use these rugby stress balls - you don't need to be related directly to the game.

Thursday 17 April 2008

Promotional Stress Balls

Continuing the look at promotional stress shapes, today I'm looking at promotional stress balls. These neat little gifts start from 66p per unit, rising only to 74p each for minimum orders of 250 units.

They are the basic stress shape and suitable for promoting any business at any event. A neutral shape, along with a printed logo they will be a great gift for your customers and potential customers.

Wednesday 16 April 2008

Promotional Stress Mobile Phone Holders

Taking a look at one of the not so basic stress shapes today. The promotional stress chair mobile phone holder not only is rather a mouthful, but it is also an interesting and very useful shape.

As the name says, it can serve you by holding your mobile phone, so it's likely to be left on desks and in workplaces in full view of other people so it really is an excellent marketing tool.

It is slightly more than the basic stress shape starting at 80 pence per unit, rising to just 87 pence for the smallest orders. So for only £217.50 you can have 250 units, or £415 gives you 500 units and £800 gives you 1000 units.

Tuesday 15 April 2008

Promotional Stress Tablets

These stress shapes can be used in any situation for any company. The promotional stress tablets are a neutral shape whilst looking smart and sophisticated.

The clean, clear shape and colour will blend well with any logo or message. Amongst the cheapest of the stress shapes - starting at 66p each, reaching only 74p each for small orders - they represent a good buy for any marketing campaign.

Get yours now whilst they are easily available and they will make an excellent impact.

Monday 14 April 2008

Promotional Stress Heart

Is your business health related or dating related? Then maybe the promotional stress heart is what your business's marketing activities needs.

Typical 'heart' shaped, they are excellent for laying on desks and advertising your business well into the future. From only 66 pence each, that means that orders of 1000 will cost just £660, whereas orders of 500 will be about £345 and small orders from 250 units start from £185.

Sunday 13 April 2008

These are lovelly little stress shapes. Suitable for animal related businesses or maybe even banks - give it as a piggy bank? Or if you just want to show a bit of a sense of humour then these promotional stress pigs are probably for you.

Saturday 12 April 2008

Promotional Stress Shape Gifts

A break from the promotional golf products. Jon has told me that he has sorted a new supplier for promotional stress shapes and he believes the offers we are putting together are unbeatable! So over the next days I'm going to concentrate on looking at these tools.

The minimum order for any of the stress shapes is 250 and from only 66 pence a time they are good value. Maybe not the most useful tool - at first glance - but these are toys that are often kept on desks, in drawers and come out when needed.

Whichever you order, a promotional stress shape is going to be doing your selling for a long time.

Friday 11 April 2008

Completing Golf Accessories

Finishing the look at promotional accessories, there's a few to look at today.

First, the promotional flask. What better way to keep warm on cold April days like we're having than a warm flask of tea or coffee in the bag? At 90mm by 110mm by 17 they are a nice, neat size and only £9.99.

Then there's also the Groove Cleaner. For only £2.48 each, your recipients have clean groves on their clubs - important to ensure proper spin and control of the ball.

Similarly, there's also the 3 in 1 Brush tool - for £2.48 each, your recipients have a tool that has a brush and ball marker for those close moments by the hole.

Thursday 10 April 2008

More Promotional Golf Accessories

Continuing from yesterday's look at promotional golf accessories, today I'm continuing with something at completely other the end of the spectrum - the promotional hanging garment carrier.

With your logo stitched onto the carrier for good measure and a size of 51cm by 61cm by 30cm, this really is a luxury item to give to people. Maybe if you are arranging a team for a tournament or a golfing holiday, then this is an excellent way of keeping your logo in people's minds for a long, long time.

For a price of around almost £43 you probably want that thought of longevity. But these carriers should definitely be worth it. Give the office a call for more details.

Wednesday 9 April 2008

Golf Accessories

Looking for a general promotional golf gift - then how about looking through our golf accessories?

There's an excellent range of products there, from putt returns for practising the art of putting. How often do you see these tools shown in senior offices in films? Well imagine your customers receiving one of these from you with your logo emblazened on it, for around £12 per unit it.

There's also the promotional shoe shine kit. Make sure your customers can turn up to the course looking smart with these excellent kits, for around £3.10 per unit.

Tuesday 8 April 2008

Promotional Golf Balls

Promotional golf balls are a big selling point and something that logogogo can print quickly within their offices. In the next few days I'll be writing a new form for their websites that should really help customers.

By choosing a brand and type of golf ball and quantity, the customer can get an exact quote. They can then upload a logo and send it straight into the office for the mockup to be produced.

Should be really good for customers - which hopefully means better business. One or two clever little tricks should be built into the tools, depending on how much time I can put into it.

Monday 7 April 2008

Promotional Golf Ball Retriever

So what new promotional golf gifts have been added to talk about?

Well, let's start with an amazingly useful tool - one I definitely would benefit from - the promotional golf ball retriever.

A what ask those that don't play golf??? Basically a 1 metre long stick that attaches to your bag that can extend to 9 times it's length, then can attach itself to your wayward golf ball!

Is it worth the effort - well there are plenty in use on all of the golf courses I've ever been around. People seem to spend hours fishing for lost golf balls in water traps, or digging through nettles to get a lost ball back. Obviously they are using a better quality golf ball than my lake balls!

Sunday 6 April 2008

Even More Promotional Golf Products

I've just 10 minutes ago added around 200 further products to the ranges already displayed on the website. These are all excellent promotional golf products, so if you are looking for Golfing Gifts - you should find something to suit you here!

New ranges include: promotional golf bag tags - excellent for marking member's bags, or competitors bags and as a souvenir for visitors of their day with you.

There's also a range of promotional golf headcovers - protect those expensive clubs and be remembered. Throw them in with new purchases and sell them as momentos!

Of course, there's also the golf pencil - where would we be without them!!! Ready to be handed out with scorecards or sold to golfers who have forgotten theirs - take your pick!

There's loads more new ranges to talk about. Now I've finised loading them I'll go back to talking about a different one daily. With 21 new promotional golf categories added and 2 existing categories having new ranges added, it'll keep me busy for the rest of the month!

Monday 31 March 2008

Promotional Golf Towels

Here's a surprisingly good value promotional item - the promotional golf towel. These are an excellent utility tool for golfers - especially in the current weather a golf towel is in constant use!

They start at a very reasonable £2.99 each for bulk orders (250 or more). Even at the lowest order level of 50 units, the golf towels are only £3.80 each - £190 for the 50.

They are made from 100% cotton and can be printed in a single colour, with a chain to attach to the outside of the bag for easy access. There's an assortment of colours and a large print area.

These golf towels look great and your recipients will be thanking you for them. Yet they are a reasonably priced promotional item. Get yours today!

Thursday 27 March 2008

Promotional Golf Shoe Bag

In this weather, what do you do with your shoes after a round of golf - put them in a shoe bag to save everything else from getting dirty.

So if you are looking for a useful promotional golf gift - then these could be very useful from only £3.65 each, or £4.54 each for smaller gift orders.

They are definitely a useful tool, not just for golfers. I've used a shoe bag in the past for running spikes and they would be equally good for any running shoe, football boot etc.

Just because it's called a golf shoe bag, don't let that prevent your imagination running away. Anyone who is wearing shoes and then changing them away from their home could find these bags a useful tool. Even 10-pin bowling teams. Get a batch printed up and see who you can distribute them to!

Wednesday 26 March 2008

Promotional Golf Tool

Here's a useful item for the golfers out there - the Promotional Golf Tool.

This nifty little tool has loads of functions. First, a keychain, either to attach it to an existing keyring (or lanyard???) or to attach a key or two to the tool.

There's also a detachable ball marker for those times on the green along with a divot repair tool. There's also a brush and a tightener, should your spikes work loose at the wrong moment.

The tool also has a small knife attached, although I can't see where that would be useful out on the course - maybe fighting your way into a new pack of golf balls when the last one has gone astray!

These tools start at only £3.39 each, rising only a small amount to £3.55 for small orders. This means 100 costs around £355 or you can buy 500 for £1695.

Either way, it's a useful tool if you are targeting golfers. It's something they are likely to keep and your logo is in their face every time they use the tool. You could even sell these within shops as a souvenir of their visit to you.

Promotional Golf Tees

Here's an item that can really be produced for buttons in bulk and distributed to many recipients - promotional golf tees.

1000 tees printed with your message for only £60 or 5000 for only £250. Then distribute then in any way you can. Throw a couple into bags with purchases; offer them for a local club competition; give them out as people go to play; leave a tub next to the till for customers to help themselves or stop people in the street.

For the amount that they cost to produce, it's well worth getting a batch done and just seeing how many you can quickly give out. Even if each person takes 3 or 4, that's around 1,500 people seeing your message for only £250!

Get some now!

Promotional Golf Balls

The first promotional golf item to look at must be the ever popular printed golf ball.

These are a fantastic item and cotrary to what it says on the website, they can easily be produced in volumes starting from just 2 dozen.

Almost any golf ball can be printed on. Any make is usually suitable, even lake balls if you are after something really cheap.

Prices for logo golf balls will depend on the brand and quantity. Logo Dunlop golf balls can be as little as £9.50 per dozen, whereas logo Titleist Pro V1 golf balls can be from £33, for the PTS Solo.

The balls are printed on site and depending on current work loads they can usually be produced very quickly. Branded golf balls will be returned to the original packets after the printing process, so you can give your recipients a sleeve of 3 balls or a box of 12 balls, depending on how generous you are feeling! This really makes the gift look impressive and adds to the feeling of value, as well as making transport and storage far easier.

Promotional Golf

With Spring just around the corner (I hope) even I'm thinking of venturing back out onto the golf course, so I thought it an excellent time to start looking at promotional golf ideas.

Now golfing promotional gifts can take many forms, and I'll cover these in the coming days: balls, tees, accessories, gloves, bags, training aids, umbrellas....

There's loads to choose from. Select your budget, see if you can afford a bit more, work out how many items you need and buy the best items your budget will stretch to,

Why? Well because that way you are buying for your recipients a quality gift. Something they will appreciate and value. Something that they will hopefully keep, treasure and use. And as they use their promotional golf gifts, they are showing the items to their partners, along with your logo.

This is the advertising you want - get your logo out on the course, get it seen and get more orders in.

Plenty of ideas will follow.

Promotional Folders

The Promotional Folders seem to be popular at the moment - there are plenty of people searching for them and making enquiries.

I did mention the folders in this blog back in January.

There's a huge range - from the cheap folders from £3.85 each to the real high quality leather folders from almost £30 each!

Whatever your needs and budget, there should be something there for you.

Tuesday 26 February 2008

Low Minimum Order Promotional Gifts

As spring approaches, many people are looking for promotional gifts that they can supply in low minimim order quantities.

Well, I may have siad it before, but printed logo golf balls are ideal! They can easily be produced in batches of 2 dozen or less and with a wide range of brands to choose from, they can go from cheap to epensive at will!

Want to really impress - then choose a top name brand. Want to save costs, then ask what the cheapest brand currently in stock is. There's a wide variety, and if work loads allow, they can be turned around and out to you pretty sharpish.

Give them a look - before your competitors beat you to it!

Give Your New Customers A Treat

I've recently appreciated the importance of keeping your customers sweet. It took me 4 years, but I eventually realised that if you keep communicating with them and making sure they are happy, when they need your services you are at the front of their mind. If you let them trot on without ever speaking to you, then they are likely to look elsewhere for a fresh mind next time.

So to this end, I've also starting sending gifts to my customers. Next Christmas I'll probably send existing customers cards with a present, but I've also started sending new customers small gifts. Recently, for a particularly patient customer, I arranged for a couple of dozen logo golf balls to be printed with her logo and website URL on them.

It didn't cost much to pack these into a jiffy bag with her invoice, and the cheque was received back virtually by return of post! And she emailed be to say how much she liked the logo golf balls. Best of all, now when she's playing every time she loses a ball, she's leaving an advert out on the course!

Try it yourself - send customers some balls and get some printed for yourself!

Keyrings for Insurance

Have you ever noticed a mascot of a certain insurance company sitting in the back of cars? I was with them once - a couple of years ago and they offered to sell me one. But I didn't see why I should pay them to advertise them. Had they sent me a free one...

So if you are offering car or Motorcycle Insurance UK, why not think what you can offer your customers? Even something as basic as a keyring can be enough to remind them of you and try to persuade them back. Include your renewals number along with your claims hotline and it becomes really important to them. What better than carrying the contact details on the vehicle's key - if you are in an accident then you know where to find your details!

Promotional Items For Conferences

I looked a few weeks ago at promotional folders, and these, along with pens, are really good, useful promotional tools when you are using Conference Venues UK.

When you are arranging a conference, don't forget to supply your delegates with folders, paper and pens. These can all be printed with your logo so that the delegates remember you in the future.

Use your great ideas

Every had a great business idea? Want to share it with other people? When if you are an EntrepreneurNow sort of person then you need to get yourself, your business and your ideas known - and usually pretty quick.

So have a good think about what sort of interests your customers, or investors, might have and chose a suitable gift. Is there a small number of them? Then invest in a more expensive gift, like a Promotional Fountain Pen that will impress them?

Are there loads to tell? Go for something cheap that you can distribute in bulk, such as the fantastic Promotional Adloop Keyring.

Just make sure that you order it now and get it distributed - ideas don't do any good sitting there in your mind!

Promotional Snow Ideas

It's winter, February half term is just around the corner and the Easter holidays will follow quickly. So time to look at ideas for companies arranging Snowboarding Holidays.

What do you know about your customers? Well, for a start, if they are snowboarders, then the liklihood is that they are going snowboarding and will be using ski lifts.

If they are using ski lifts, where are they putting their ski lift pass - how about your Promotional Ski Pass Holders?

They are very cost effective - these neat little devices start at only 44p each, printed with your logo or contact details.

Give them a go - they are certainly cheap enough to give out to all your passing customers!

Expanding Your Horizons

Anyone can benefit from a bit of careful thinking and a few imagineative promotional ideas. Take for example those involved in the House Cleaning trade.

Especially if some or all of your customers don't come to you on a regular basis, then you need to ensure that you are on their mind when they might need your services. So go for something imaginative - think of something that might amuse your customers, or immediately they see it bring you to their mind.

One popular keyring is the Promotional House Keyring. Let the shape of the keyring remind me that you care for their house. They could associate the shape and feel of the quality keyring with your services maintaining their home. It's a quality item - let them associate that with a quality service!

Keyrings for all

Promotional keyrings are an excellent idea for many businesses. If you are producing or handing out keys, then it's always a good idea to make sure your keys are not lost and your company is remembered by attaching a keyring.

For example, Landlords UK can benefit by attaching a keyring with their contact details on. If the keys are lost, then the finder can return them to the landlord. Likewise, your tenants will always be carrying your contact details with them. Not only can they recommend you easilier, but if they need to make contact to pay you - what excuse have they got!

Ideal for this use is the Adloop Keyring. It's cheap and still looks good and is very practical.

Making Your Virtual Office Real

If you are running your business through Virtual Offices then you might want to make the office look more realistic.

Persuading people that a virtual office is a real one can be an important trick. Think what stationary you might have in a real office and give them to your customers. One favourite is Promotional Post-it Notes. An ideal printed product - your recipients will write notes for other people and pass the notes around.

For under £500 you can have 500 Cheap Post-it Note Pads of 50 sheets. That's 25,000 note sheets that can be passed around and advertising your logo! That's less than 2p per advert - quite a good cost.

A Good Time To Choose A Promotional Folder

When you are looking for Conference Venues UK, then it's also a good time to consider your promotional folders and everything else that goes with a conference.

Don't forget that when you organise a conference the delegates will be very open to receiving free goods and gifts, and if they are printed with your logo and contact details, especially if they are worth while goods, then the gifts will be taken back home. Then you will be at the front of their mind when they come to organising their own events!

When To Use Promotional Gifts

A lot of people can benefit from using promotional gifts. One excellent opportunity, that is sometimes overlooked, is in Event Management UK.

Here you are gathering a load of potential clients on behalf of one of your clients, so why not distribute to all of these a cheap gift/

What you distribute will depend on what type of event it is. For an indoor event pens, folders etc might be appropriate. For an outdoor event clothing, or the very cheap Adloop Keyrings which are very popular at the moment.

Don't miss any opportunity to spread the word about your services!

Leather Promotional Folders

If you want to look at a top end, leather promotional folders, then this wonderful item is certainly what you need.

This leather promotional folder shouts 'quality'. It screams 'we value your attendance'. It calls out 'take me home and remember me'. It says to your customers, 'we value you and want your business again'.

At £27.95 each for larger orders (orders of 50 promotional folders or more) it doesn't come cheap. That's £1,397.50 for 50 delegate. If you only need a smaller amount, say 15, then that will cost just under £430. Not bad really, considering the quality and features.

Promotional Folders

If you are arranging a conference or a training session, especially if you are being brought in by another company to run the session, then providing Promotional Folders can be a good way of impressing those attending. With a little careful planning, the delegates can be taking the folders away with them and when it's their turn to recommend who to run the next session - your logo could be right in front of them.

With a session of 100 delegates, then some long lasting promotional folders will be valued, taken away and kept. With so many delegates there's a good chance that more than a couple could be recommending you in the future. So make sure you choose well. And if you are really cheeky with it, then you can also raise the cost per delegate slightly to cover the cost of the printed folders, maybe even mentioning them in paper work to show them as an extra you are offering.

There are a good range of promotional folders available and we'll look at some in the coming days. The price of the folder can also include a pen and paper, so it's just a matter of handing them out and the delgates are ready to roll and take notes. They start at £3.85 each and reach around £30 at time - maybe the top end is not the sort of folder you would buy for a conference of 1000 delegates, unless you really want to impress and you aren't paying!

Promotional Polo Shirts

At this time of year promotional polo shirts are probably best kept for those who's staff are working in doors! But if you are planning an event for the summer, then you maybe want to arrange your Promotional Polo Shirts now to take the weight off your mind for when other arrangements take over.

The polo shirts start at only £4.15 each, going up to only £8.90 (on large orders). Most polo shirts have a minimum order of 11 units, but the Jerzees (from £7.87) and New Wave Baker Polo Shirt (from £4.23) are available with orders of only 11 units.

Tuesday 15 January 2008

Promotional Shirts

If you are indoors, then you might be interested in looking at Promotional Shirts. These are great for many businesses, whether you run a restaurant, a shop or an office, if you want your customers to see your staff with a smart uniform appearance then shirts are a great idea.

There are a variety of long and short sleeved shirts to choose from, starting from as little as £9.98 each and certain ranges having minimum orders quantities of only 11 units. There's even the option of an easy care promotional shirt to help ensure that your staff remain looking smart.

Monday 14 January 2008

Promotional Sweatshirts

Maybe when the weather warms up a bit, Promotional Sweatshirts will be warm enough to be worn on their own. But for now, they are useful under Jackets and Fleeces.

The Kustom Kit Sweatshirt is the starter sweatshirt, from £8.80 to £9.75 depending on quantity. Especially for the ladies, there's also the Ladies Raglan Sweatshirt. From £9.16 for 500 to £11.20 for orders of only 11, this is a good polyester / cotton sweatshirt.

Top of the range is the men's fit Promotional Raglan Sweathshirt ranging from £9.22 to £11.20 for the same order quantites as the ladies' version.

Friday 11 January 2008

Promotional Jackets

If your staff are standing outside then another item to consider is the Promotional Jacket. With the British weather what it is, you can not guarantee they will be warm and dry outside for long.

The jackets start with a relatively inexpensive Promotional Sports Jacket, at under £300 for a batch of 25, or just over £1000 for 100 if you have a large event.

At the other end of the spectrum is the Promotional Buffalo Jacket. From £51.30 for large orders (500+) to £55.53 for orders of 11, this jacket should protect and keep your team dry whatever the weather and they will really know how much you are concerned for their protection!

Thursday 10 January 2008

Promotional Fleeces

With the weather outside cold and many events coming up, I thought I would kick off the new year with a look at promotional clothing.

At this time of the year, Promotional Fleeces are a good idea for anyone organising an event where your staff, stewards and marshalls must wait out of doors. With your logo well positioned for the passing public, they form not only an advertisement but also an identity badge showing their authenticity.

Most of the promotional fleeces have minimum order quantities of only 11. And with the Clique Brownville Microfleeces, 11 can be bought for only £13.60 each - under £150 for the order. These excellent fleeces are the 'over the head' style, meaning they only have a half zip. This prevents excessive wind blowing through the fleece and getting the wearer cold!

At the other end of the scale we also have the standard Promotional Fleece, from £14.45 on large orders, £15.25 on orders of 25 or more. Available in full or half zip, they look good and should keep your team warm.
