Make your message stick around with sticky mates.

Promotional sticky mates are an essential desktop item.  Ever since I can remember I’ve always doodled whist at my desk, when I’m on the phone, watching a presentation and even listening to my boss speak ( maybe I shouldn’t admit that publically!).  Promotional sticky mates are just like post it notes, they help you to complete a day’s work and help to avoid not forget anything of importance.  If you’re anything like me and your brain works at 100 mph - mental notes can always get lost along the way! Sticky mates are the answer!

The Hotline Group offers a variety of sticky mates to suit every occasion.  Printed sticky mates come in an array of colours and sizes to optimise on every branding opportunity available.  A7 and A6 are proving to be the most popular choice of size amongst our customers however the recycled sticky mates are entering into our top5 promotional products of the year 2010.  With 50 sheets within each pad they will certainly stay around the office for weeks and weeks and they are ideal for the budget conscience.

So what do we suggest you have printed on these popular promotional products and where is the best possible place to place your design?  Every customer tends to differ.  Some people prefer to have the company name, contact details, logo and slogan at the top and the bottom of the pad.  Others prefer to have it printed in the middle of the sticky mate so people have to write their reminder over their logo.  It is totally up to you and our expert design  team will always give you their honest opinion.  Click here to view all our offers on Promotional sticky mates today!

Make your mark with promotional pens

Promotional pens appear in every situation that we come across ( ok...so if your trekking in a desert or across the Amazon there might be a severe lack of printed pens!).  These popular writing instruments come in a variety of different colours, sizes and can be multi functional, mechanical, plastic, metal and even wood.  You can guarantee that there will be a promotional pen perfect for your campaign or promotion.
The great advantage with promotional pens is that they provide value for money and are an affordable alternative to other promotional products.  Printed promotional pens are always looking at us from inside a bag or brief case, from a desk, behind an ear or peering through a pocket in a trouser or shirt.  It fascinates me how far a promotional pen travels and how many hands it passes through.  Have you ever had a favourite pen and mislaid it and then found it in a totally different place altogether? BRILLIANT!

So here are some suggestions of a classic budget promotional pen, a quirky promotional pen and an executive promotional pen:

The classic budget pen to buy would be the Fiesta Promotional pen or the campaign ball pen.  Both pens come in a variety of colours to suit your corporate colours and can be printed with your logo, company name and contact details.

Our ‘quirky’ recommendation would be Las Vegas ballpen.  A twist action pen which boasts a fantastic blue light which flicks on when you write!  Kids and adults love this pen!

Our executive promotional pen would be the Argente printed pen set. The ideal promotional gift for that special client or customer.  Also, a great way to say ‘thank you’ for your business.  Click on this link to find out more.
