Promotional pens are selling quicker then ever!

Perhaps David Miliband should have invested in some more promotional pens to try and boost his popularity within the labour party.  Ed Miliband, on the other hand, perhaps should purchase some more promotional pens in order to keep his popularity soaring!  Both of the brothers need to take the ‘American’ approach and start to advertise and brand everything possible in order to get their names recognised and their party to the top of the Politian A list.  Here are some promotional products perfect for the job…
Ice Media Promotional pen:  Perhaps this pen could release some of the icy tension between the two brothers and make them work together in collaboration instead of against each other within the same party!

The Fashion promotional pen:  This might add a bit of style and sparkle to the labour party and could attract some of the younger generation to listen to their policies and get involved with the government initiatives.

Pricebuster promotional pencils:  These might inject some assurance that the labour party are thinking about their budgets and expenses and that they are aware of spending less and helping out the environment.
Good advice!!

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.

Sketch your designs with printed pencils

I don’t know about you but I love writing and sketching with promotional pencils.  They are comfortable to hold, great to write with and the main advantage is that you can rub out any mistakes you make.  They are also an affordable alternative to promotional pens and are ideal for schools, events and exhibitions.  Let’s think about when we see a promotional pencil about town?  Shopping in IKEA when you are noting down what goods you wish to purchase, in Argos when you are writing down your order for the cashier, On building sites, behind carpenters ears, by a telephone, an architect’s office, behind checkouts and on a teacher’s desk.  Everyone owns a pencil and they last for years and years.

Promotional pencils don’t have to be boring either... They can be plastic, metal, mechanical and multi functional and they come in a variety of colours and sizes.  If you want to surprise your customer, why not purchase something really different.  Take a look at our 2 piece wooden tea pencils.  This unusual set will catch the eye of your customer immediately.  They are a totally environmentally friendly promotional product made from tea branches!  Even the paper surrounding the pencils is made from waste paper.  Please not – no trees were harmed in the making of this product!!

Our most popular pencil is our neon promotional printed pencils.  These classic pencils are wood based and come with an eraser and a bright neon coating.  They certainly stand out in the crowd and are perfect for tradeshows, exhibitions and fun events.  Check out our pencil selection today!

World Cup promotional products fever

World cup promotional products were displayed all over South Africa last week when England played Slovenia.  Promotional flags, colourful banners, ear piercing horns, printed balloons, promotional T shirts, printed caps and promotional lanyards – it really was promotional product heaven!  No amount of promotional products though, could save our bacon when the time came for England to play Germany!  We played a disappointing game which resulted in a 4-1 defeat!   Upson and Lampard scored goals however Lampard’s goal was disallowed despite the ball clearly crossing the line.  What a DISASTER!

Now the England players are facing an early flight home to a bitterly disappointed crowd!  The world cup is officially over for England!  So what promotional products may have helped the team progress higher up the table?  Lets take a look...

1. A promotional pens (such as the Stealth Printed pen) that Fabio Capello could use to help him actually write down some game plans and strategies for one of the biggest games that people have been waiting for, for the past 4 years.

2. Promotional Jelly Beans for Rooney, to try to insight some enthusiasm and energy into the game.  Where did the Rooney spirit disappear to?  Perhaps he needed some sugar to kick start his game!  Or even an alarm clock to wake the team up an d remind them they are playing in the world cup!

3. A printed promotional Beanie for Fabio to pull over his face when he finally realised that his job was on the line!

Fingers crossed in four years time we will have a better success rate; it did hurt losing to the Germans, however we beat them in the Big brother World Cup! (that just sums everything up!)
