I’m a celebrity… get me some promotional products!!

I’m a celebrity… get me some promotional products!! It’s back on our screens for us all to enjoy and the contestants are crying out already for every day accessories!!  Ok… so they don’t need promotional pens, promotional rulers, promotional giveaways or printed keyrings but promotional clothing is a big MUST and a total essential! I know it’s in the Australian outback but an outdoor fleece would never go amiss in the evenings and yes, it does still rain in the southern hemisphere so a promotional poncho is a must.  Don’t forget we also supply polo shirts and baseball caps for protection against the suns harmful rays.

Also lets not forget the boredom busters... Printed play balls, yo yo’s, foam boomerangs and puzzle trays. Oh… don’t forget the hand sanitisers, a definite essential with all those grim toilets and roaming rats!!

Promotional bags and printed tote bags

As you have probably already noticed the super markets have stopped offering free carrier bags and are becoming more environmentally friendly. A great way to capitalise on this is to offer your customers a free re-useable bag branded with your company name and logo. Let your customers become a walking advertisement for your company and experience the benefits of being eco friendly at the same time. Here at the hotline group we offer a wide range of these tote bags which are strong, durable and will last longer then the average plastic carrier bag. We offer the following: exhibition bags (expertly designed with long practical handles), standard cotton tote bags, made from 100% cotton and a firm favourite at tradeshows and exhibitions and our most popular tote bag – the recycled show bag! These bags are going to be a popular giveaway with many companies because of they are practical and highly affordable.

Unusual Promotional gifts and giveaways for bonfire night

Bonfire night came and went, but next year your company can effectively capitalise on this popular event with specific promotional giveaways. Offer your customers a free can opener for use on beer and soda cans – a gift that will be used over and over again.  Or how about a coloured cotton tote bag to carry home the fireworks from the super market (now that they are all becoming environmentally friendly and not offering free carrier bags). Lastly, ever thought about a printed poncho if it rains or a embroidered beanie if it’s freezing cold?  There are so many different promotional product combinations that can be coupled together and they can all be personalised to the highest quality.

The winning promotional product

The name Lewis Hamilton has been plastered over the news this week due to his nail biting Grand Prix race in Brazil. He is now officially the youngest ever Formula One World Champion. The Hotline Group have put in their bid to sponsor the superstar; however we haven’t heard anything as of yet!  Now that he has a new title we thought it would be a good idea to suggest some promotional clothing that might be of interest to him. Lets start with the head and work downwards… A Sandwich Trim Cap in red with Hamilton’s name embroidered on the front (or maybe even a beanie, if he wants to look fashionable). A red outdoor fleece in large and a smart oxford shirt for those special occasions. Oh… and don’t forget a brand new keying for luck!!
