End of Season Prizes are a Great Time for Promotional Gifts

 Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

With the World Cup just around the corner, all eyes are firmly set on a wonderful Summer of sport. The great and the good of the football world will converge on South Africa for what promises to be a thrilling world cup. But for thousands of amateur enthusiasts, their season is just coming to a close.

It’s not just football where amateur players across the northern hemisphere will have their weekends back. Rugby, hockey and the full compliment of winter sports are all drawing to a close as the summer arrives.

Although we can’t all play in the Premiership, many clubs will be having end of season award ceremonies. Though probably not as glitzy as the professional awards and seriously lacking in the supermodel WAG factor, these can be great occasions for singling out the star performer in a team and rewarding those who have had a fantastic season. And even if you’ve been relegated, there’s no better way to cheer people up!

For those who don’t wish to go down the trophy route, awarding promotional gifts can be an effective and affordable way of rewarding players. By using promotional gifts, you can make the award specific to the player. So rather than just give a token trophy that will be destined to gather dust for twelve months, give your star player something they will be really excited about. By personalising your promotional gift it will mean more, ensuring better morale in your team.

The promotionlal gift can be personalised further by branding it with either the name of the player or logo of the team and it will add a fantastic feature to an end of season awards night.

Promotional Products – How to do it!

 Friday, July 17th, 2009

Promotional giftware is a simple, low-cost, pleasurable, and successful promotional technique. Nevertheless, clichéd gifts like stress toys & Frisbees aren’t as effectual as they once used to be. When you come to choosing be sure to pick a gift that you think people will use frequently and that will remind them of you when they use it. The correct gift creates the correct reaction… Every action has an equal and opposite reaction! So picking your promotional giftware shrewdly is an imperative stride to getting the best return on your investment.

Business Gifts Tip 1 – Factor in what you know about your target audience are.
Be carful when choosing what events to use your corporate gifts at. If you pick an event whose target audience is not compatible with your own, you will be throwing your money away. So, think about who your target audience is and where they would likely be.

Business Gifts Tip 2 – The time of cheep and nasty promotional gifts is long gone.
Happy c**p has had its moment on the business giftware pedestal, but those style of products are not going to be able to speak much about your company. You should choose a gift that has attributes that are comparable to your company’s. If your business is adaptable, then give away a Swiss army knife). This gift communicates your company’s characteristic and can be regularly used.
 
Business Gifts Tip 3 – Creativity is the way forward.
Being scared to move outside the standard arena of business gifts is boring! Humans remember the extraordinary and we want them to remember you so be extraordinary!
