New Products Coming Soon

 Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Here at the Corporate Gifts Co we are always working to develop and expand our product range, and despite all the economic doom and gloom, we are striving forward with some really exciting new promotional product ideas for 2009. After all, promotional activity is essential to drive your company forward, whatever the economic outlook, and when it’s this bad, you need new and cool incentives and premiums to drive new sales.
So what are we working on?
Well, we are developing a range of eco-friendly, ethically sourced awards which will be available in standard models “off the shelf” and also bespoke options using our free design service.
My favourite is a new innovative range of promotional aluminium folders and office accessories manufactured in the UK. Again, these will be available off the shelf and as special bespoke orders. These will be great for promotion of documents and product launches and, well, the list is endless.
More Sterling Silver; our current range of sterling silver promotional items is proving so popular we are working hard on significantly expanding the range.
That’s just a small selection of the new promotional incentives we’ll be launching next year. Some are already available so if you’re particularly interested in any of the above, give our promotions sales team a call. As they say, watch this space!

The Corporate Gifts Company are delighted to publish our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) on our website.

The Corporate Gifts Company are members of SEDEX; The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange which aims to provide transparency in supply chains to the standards of the ETI base code (the internationally recognised standard for ethical trading). Check out our policy at;

This is an ongoing process and The Corporate Gifts Company will soon be able to guarantee ethically sourced product clearly labelled on the website – watch this space!

Of course, a lot of our product is already responsibly manufactured and sourced. For example; sterling silver items are made in the UK so carbon footprint is lower than imported items, any waste material is recycled, and the products themselves can be recycled (if anybody would actually want to do that with one of our sterling silver gifts). Check out our range at;

Leather is a natural material, the waste or offcuts are made into smaller leather items or can be recycled into bonded leather (as can the finished items themselves). See our exclusive range of leather promotional items at;

And if you’re looking for an award with a conscience, why not try our slate or marble options; 150 million years old, UK quarried and manufactured. The look fantastic too.

GREEN AWARDS

 Monday, November 3rd, 2008

There’s so much misinformation and misunderstanding about what makes a product green or eco friendly that when sourcing promotional products that need to be ecologically sound, you need to take a step back and really consider what you’re being told.

At the Corporate Gifts Company we have a range of promotional awards to fit any budget and fulfil any brief. And if it’s a “green” award your looking for, then we’ve got just the thing for you. http://www.corporate-gifts-co.com/acatalog/info%5fcorporate%5fgifts%5fbespoke%5fawards%5f8%2ehtml

This is an example of green slate; a totally natural material, 150 million years old, mined and manufactured using traditional craft techniques in the UK. This traingular shape has been laser engraved directly into the surface.

 Also very popular is our black slate. We can also use metal plates and designs to give your promotion maximum effect; http://www.corporate-gifts-co.com/acatalog/info%5fcorporate%5fgifts%5fbespoke%5fawards%5f6%2ehtml

Slate or marble can be cut into any shape and size and has a very high perceived value.

Other award options can be found at; http://www.corporate-gifts-co.com/acatalog/corporate_gifts_engraved_awards.html
