Is there still a need for promotional t-shirts?

Promotional t-shirts have always been a popular tool in promotional marketing campaigns but are they still needed? With cheaper and just as effective promotional tools on the market such as key rings, pens and logo bugs, some may find it difficult to see why they should use part of their marketing budget on a printed promotional t-shirt. Even though some may see promotional t-shirts and garments as an expensive option, but once you go through all the positives you’ll begin to realise why they are still and will always be used as a promotional vessel.
First and most important is the fact that a promotional garment such as a printed t-shirt, is a very visual way to advertise and event or promote a product at a busy exhibition or event.
Imagine walking around a busy exhibition hall, which people do you notice the most? The generic shirt, tie & trousers or the people wearing a brightly coloured and loud designed promotional t-shirt.
Printed t-shirts aren’t just used for promotional use. They can also be used as staff work wear or to promote a special cause. This is a great way to show uniformity in an office or united support for a special cause such as a charity.

Leave an impression with printed pens

You’ve got a trade show coming up, invested a lot of money in making your display look the part with roller banner, pop up banners and more but what happens when the event is over? You may have had some flyers printed, but are these really going to get you remembered after the event. Let’s be honest, the majority of flyers handed out at an exhibition end up in the bin without a second glance. Why not try a printed pen? Printed pens are a low cost but highly effective promotional marketing tool. Available in a huge range of colours and styles, promotional pens suit every occasion. The reason promotional pens have been such a popular promotional giveaway and have stood the test of time, are because they are truly effective and useful as an everyday use product. Speaking from personal experience, I don’t buy pens anymore. The majority of pens I use have some form of promotional print on them. It’s always a constant reminder of the company’s name and contact details. What more could you ask from a low cost promotional giveaway.

2012 is going to be a great year for the country. The London 2012 Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee are the two main events this year.

With our range of specially printed Queen's Jubilee merchandise they can be kept as a commemorative reminder of the event. The branded promotional merchandise doesn’t stop there! Jubilee pens, pencils, mugs, key rings and much more can all be printed.

Use promotional products for an instant hit

One of the best ways to promote a new business, a promotion or even to cement existing relationships with your current customers is promotional products. Always gratefully received, a small promotional giveaway such as a pen, key ring or logobug can be handed out at an exhibition and make you a real hit amongst your customers.
A promotional giveaway doesn’t have to be a huge token or even blow your marketing budget. Even a printed promotional pen (as low as 14p each!) can be the difference between being remembered or forgotten. How many times have you seen a promotional pen lying on someone’s desk or a promotional key ring attached to a set of keys? The majority of these would have been given out as a low cost giveaway and kept by the recipient, meaning your message has also been kept.
For promoting an event, printed t-shirt can do wonders. it can help create a buzz about a specific promotion or open day.

For the best quality print use screen print

If you are looking for a printed t shirt with a quality print that will stand the test of time then screen printing is probably the best option for you.
Screen printing is a technique where ink is brushed through a mesh screen to make the desired design onto a t-shirt. Most commonly used for larger quantity orders it provides great and long lasting results.

Printed or embroidered clothing as staff uniforms

Most companies have a guideline on what their staff can and can’t wear, some more strict than others. Depending on the type of company and industry, uniformed staff can really give the office a more professional look. The benefit of promotional clothing is only really seen in a customer facing office where there is face to face customer interaction on a daily basis. When you think promotional clothing you may instantly think, cheap, one use t-shirts but this is not the case. Promotional clothing can range from cheap t-shirts for a one off event to quality embroidered polo shirts and work shirts.

Advertise your seasonal promotions with printed t shirts

Possibly one of the most cost effective ways of mass advertising, printed t-shirts turn your staff into walking, talking, advertising boards. A t-shirt is just a blank canvas for all your creative promotional ideas.
It can be quite easy to overlook printed t-shirts as an effective marketing tool as companies can be lead into the very expensive world of online or print advertising. These methods are great for companies with a big marketing budget, but for something which isn’t going to break the bank and that has been proven to work, try printed t-shirts.
Whether you are at an event or exhibition, advertising a sale in a retail outlet or promoting awareness for a charity or cause, printed t-shirts are perfect.
