Time for Winter Promotional Jackets

At this time of the year I struggle to get up as my body is telling me that it is still night time when the arm goes off. Although the days are warmer, chilly morning and evening mean that I have to haul out the winter promotional jackets. Promotional jackets are a terrific item to purchase at the beginning of autumn. They will definitely be a very well received promotional clothing item. The preferred branding for promotional jackets is embroidery. Embroidery of winter jackets or promotional jackets is usually on the left chest of the promotional jacket or winter jacket, however a lot of companies also consider making their logo colour on colour. This is a very subtle form of branding. But if you want to have strong corporate identity of your promotional jackets, then choose your corporate colours for branding. For sporting events you may want to embroidery your promotional jacket with a large logo on the back for the best visibility on your winter jacket. Whatever type of branding you choose for your winter promotional jackets, please do consider your client. Staff are often happy to have a large logo on their promotional jacket, but client may choose a more subtle form of branding.

The Conference Delegates If the conference is one where the delegates pay to attend, you can probably use an inexpensive plastic or promotional pen as a conference pen. Your budget would be low and you would probably choose a one colour print on your conference pen as the pen is a convenience gift. However if the delegates are your guests and are at a management levels, you may want to choose a pen that gives a more lasting impression.

Choosing Promotional Pens

Pens are such a personal item. It is a corporate gift that relates to the sense of touch. A promotional pen is one of the few corporate gifts that are in direct and regular contact with your skin. You get to regularly feel the weight of the promotional pen and feel the texture of the promotional pen. Weight of a promotional pen is usually associated with quality and stability. Therefore if you want present a heavier quality metal pen it gives a good impression of your company. When it comes to metal pens your have a number of options. You can choose high end pens such as Waterman Pens, Polo Pens, Cross Pens and Parker Pen. However expect to pay a premium price for these brand name pens. However there are also a range of metal pens that are from the promotional pens range that also have a good pen weight and are quality pens, however they do not have the premium pen price associated with them. To decide how much you want to spend on promotional pens, you will need to decide on what level of client you are you are working with as well as what are the promotional pens for. So if it is a general market campaign or general pen hand outs then you can choose metal pens that come from the promotional pen range. However if this is a top level client and you have a long term relationship with this client then one of the prestige pen brands such as Waterman pens, Parker pens etc are a more appropriate pen choice.

Valentines Day Gifts

Valentine’s Day is that romantic ritual that comes every year like an anniversary or birthday. But unlike an anniversary or a birthday that is unique to that some one special in your life and your remembering it could severely jeopardize you reputation, Valentine’s Day has a vast number of reminders. Months before Valentine’s Day there are countless retail reminders. Stores start bringing out their Valentine’s Day offerings in January. Stationary stores start bringing out their Valentine's Day Cards and Valentine’s Day gift wrap out in January as well. Restaurants start advertising their Valentine’s Day dinners and lunches well in advance. Hotels start sending their regular clients Valentine’s Day specials in advance as well. So in short you really have no excuse to not plan for Valentine’s Day. In fact Valentine’s Day is a test of personal organizational skills and relationship building skills. The reason that loved ones get annoyed about not getting Valentine’s Day gifts is because lack of planning shows that the relationship is not valued. In business we are taught that relationships have tremendous long term value. This is one of the reasons that we send out corporate gifts or even corporate Valentine’s Day gifts. Whether you are in sales or not customers are at the end of the day the ones day creates salaries. So when you buy your groceries and pay your children’s school fees or buy your loved one a Valentine’s day gift, it is because of the money that you have earned from customer’s spend. Essentially our hours are spent in two key areas, at work and at home. We all value or should value our careers and they provide lifestyle, but we should also value our loved ones as these are key relationships in life. Yet too many people will spend hours working on maintaining relationships with clients and then spend the rest of their time maintaining relationships with the television, contents of the fridge and their pillows while their loved ones get the dregs. So this year instead of bemoaning how commercial Valentine’s Day is, rather be thankful that you have their early reminder s that people matter and not just because they create your salary, but because many of the things that you take for granted would not be there without them. So thanks Valentine’s Day for reminding me that who I am has a lot to do with the people who have invested in my life and how much I invest in their lives. Thank you for the opportunity that Valentine’s Day. brings. For ideas about Valnetine's Day contact us on info@belleregalo.co.za, visit us on www.belleregalo.co.za or call us on 0829487461.
