Promotional Bags, from eco equivalents to good looking sports bags

Promotional Bags make a great give away, do not underestimate their power.. 

What makes them so good?

Imagine yourself at an exhibition, handfuls of flyers, catalogues as well as other people giveaways.. who will they thank the most and more importantly remember.. well the handy firm that gave you a nice bag to put everything in of course! 

The promotional bag can take many forms depending upon your intended use:

Cotton Shoppers

The use of environmentally friendly products these days can greatly enhance your company’s positive image. Global warming and recycling are amongst the most spoken about topics so, as a brand or company it is important to let your clients know you are backing the environment. Cotton bags are a great start to turning your promotions green as they are made from organic, recycled and sustainable resources. Cotton shopping bags are such a good promotional item as they are useful and very cost effective. A cotton shopper received at a trade show or exhibition rarely gets thrown away by the recipient, so think of it as a promotional item that keeps on advertising long after the event. Using a cotton shopper as a giveaway can really associate your corporate image with a green eco friendly message.

Jute Bags

Every so often a product gets released and creates a real buzz within the promotional industry and Jute bags are just that! Manufactured from ethically sourced and sustainable jute fibre it has become one of the most popular eco friendly promotional products on sale today and is truly a “bag for life”. Jute bags have become so popular that Jute has now become the second most sought after natural fibre after cotton. With the worlds landfills overwhelmed by wasteful and harmful plastic and paper bags, jute bags are an ideal replacement as they can be reused over and over again.

Drawstring Bags

Drawstring bags are a great volume promoter. They have so many uses for the recipient so they are always gratefully received. Gym bags, shopping bags or just a general purpose bag are just some of the uses. Imagine your corporate message or company logo printed onto a drawstring bag which in turn is being worn by your customer. It has the potential to get your message or branding to hundreds or even thousands of potential new customers. Draw string bags come in a massive variety of bright attention attracting colours so they are bound to turn heads.

Conference Bags

Carrier bags are a must for every shop owner or exhibitor. They are the perfect promotional vessel for carrying sale items or other promotional products at an exhibition or tradeshow. A carrier bag is not necessarily a one use item. People are becoming more environmentally savvy and are re-using promotional or giveaway carrier bags over and over again. The re-usability of a carrier bag is big selling point as it means your company message and contact details can potential reach hundreds of future clients. One Stop Promotions are experts in print and we have our own in-house print team and machinery. This allows us to offer you some of the best prices, print quality and products in the industry.

The end of the promotional mouse mat?

Is it time to wave bye to the promotional mouse mat?

We think not.. the humble mouse mat is starting to feel a little left out with the optical and wireless mouse. No need to get that mouse ball dirty on some old blue lined mouse mat!

However the mouse mat can become part of a package.. and it's surprising how many people still use them despite their mice being wireless..

Once again the mousemat fits into the 'reminder' category.. a constant reminder of your brand / logo / company image on someone elses desk..

Just get them on the right persons desk!

Promotional USB - bringing promotions into the 21st Century

Promotional USB - bringing promotions into the 21st Century

Bring your promotional merchandise into the 21st Century with these wonderful promotional USB sticks, from 512mb to 32Gb we can cover any data requirements.

But what's the point in using new technology as a reminder of our brand?

Promotional give-aways has always been about giving your client or prospect something more than a business card, something useful. traditionally promotional mugs and pens have successfully been branded and used well in marketing ploys. The promotional USB stick takes the usefulness of a promotional give-away to the next stage. Pens and Mugs generally stay on the desk... The USB stick becomes a part of their daily life, most people end up with USB sticks on their key rings, car keys, even permanently in their pc.. a constant reminder of your brand.

But what would I put on a USB Stick?

Essentially whatever promotes your company best instantly.. It will get full attention once and if it's good passed on or re-watched at a later date. So make it punchy, snappy and to the point. Maybe a portfolio, a video, something to capture your company in an instance. 

Promotional Mugs, surely old hat now?

The poor humble category known as promotional mugs.. new technology comes and goes but you are promotional stalwart. Consistently every year sales of printed mugs sustain the same level. But new technologies have come in and still you guys love the promotional mug. But why is that?

Despite such great movements in technology, such as promotional usb's, the mug stands firm. That glowing beacon of advertising on someone else desk. Which is probably exactly why you guys still love them. What better advertising for the decision maker than your logo, your website being pulled to their face when it's brew time?

Why be that company that did a great job but no one can remember their name.. why be 'Googled' with the rest of the crowd.. give companies this great give away and never be less than 2 foot from your client.

As a give away they are great to give people at exhibitions, the more valued or used a good is from an exhibition the more likely you will be remembered.. what better than to give your potential new business a good cuppa?

Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Olympics and Paralympics are over....Now what?

It’s almost time for the dreaded “C” word.......Christmas!

I know it seems like ages before we get the baubles out and the decorations up but no matter how much we want to put it off, Christmas is definitely on its way! It seems to arrive earlier each year but if you are looking at doing some Christmas promotion, now is the time to start thinking and getting your plans into action. There are so many promotional items which are ideal for a Christmas promotion. Custom imprinted baubles (I spell checked that!), Calendars for next year or Advent calendars for the festive period. How about a corporate Christmas card to send round to your customers or suppliers? One of the more interesting festive promotional products are custom shaped USB flash drives. A long lasting promotional giveaway and also useful, two of the “must haves” when choosing a promotional product. I don’t mean just any USB flash drive you would be able to pick up from a computer shop, custom shaped USB flash drives come in completely bespoke shapes and characters for example Santa Claus! A great long lasting gift but also a unique and quirky addition to your customer's key ring.

Olympic memories

The Olympics and Paralympics are now over but the impact it's had on all involved will be long lived. It's been a fantastic year not just for sport but for galvanising the people and it has been a great advert for the country. With being a promotional products, flags, flagpoles and bunting supplier we have seen first hand at how many people decided to back the nation by buying a length of bunting, a hand waving flag or even some printed t-shirts to take down to the events with them. Finally the country has something to smile about. Below are some pictures we’d like to share with you all during our travels to the London 2012 Olympic games.
