Magnetic Puzzle Globe

Friday, May 29th, 2009

One of the best-known executive business gifts of recent years has been the magnetic puzzle globe. A product that remains a best selling item, whether it be as a Christmas gift or a all year round promotional gift or incentive, the metal jigsaw puzzle continues to tease the recipients as well as providing excellent advertising for your company.

The main part of the magnetic puzzle globe is a 7.5cm globe and is made up of a 72-piece puzzle where each piece can be set onto the globe and will stick magnetically whilst the entire puzzle is put together. The globe can be placed on the 4.5cm solid metal base, giving the executive appearance of the product when not in use.

As a top quality high-end business gift, the magnetic puzzle globe can be engraved to the base, ensuring that your brand will be remembered, spotted and talked about for a considerable time to come. The magnetic puzzle globe can be used as a fantastic paperweight or would sit brilliantly on its own.

Given the appearance, quality and branding possibilities of this product, you would have thought that the magnetic puzzle globe would be priced out of most budgets, but that is not the case and it should certainly be something that it would a good idea to price up and check out.

USB People

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

When it comes to brightening up the desktop these days, few products are able to achieve the desired results like USB people flashdrives can. These are by far the cleverest addition to an ever increasing promotional product category, allowing you to create a unique USB People character to promote your brand, company, team or whichever event you are participating in. The options are endless when you look further into the USB people range. These flashdrives are in the style of Play Mobil characters, USB people have moving arms and legs, and are something completely new and different .

A promotional product with the true bespoke possibilities could mean that a product like the USB people would usually mean high minimum order quantities. This is not the case. There are several designs that are available from 50 units. These mostly cover careers such as a doctor, nurse, businessman, and dentist to name a few. These all have areas to add a company branding and prices are inclusive of up to 3 spot colours to 1 position.

Should you be looking a creating something completely unique, then this is again possible, and with minimum quantities from 250, this is again not restrictive to most promotional flashdrive purchases.

The USB People flashdrives don’t cover all memory capacities, but there is a good choice from 512MB going up to a fantastic 8GB. Currently, most memory chip producers are looking to faze out 128MB and 256MB chips and are therefore pricing these close to 512MB anyway, so USB people have positioned their range of capacities perfectly for the promotional market.

Should you be considering a purchase of promotional flashdrives, and cant quite decide on whether to look at USB people, there is a free of charge visual service that can either show your branding on a standard character or help finalise the design of your bespoke USB people option.

Call a member of the sales team now, and use USB People for the desktop fun factor.

Promotional Frisbees

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Some of the most popular promotional gifts and giveaways at the moment are the ones that encourage the target audience to exercise. Fitness and healthy living are buzz words these days and anything that can help in this area as well as carrying your logo or message can only be a good thing to promote with. Promotional Frisbees are the perfect giveaway item to fulfil this requirement. As we approach the summer months (although Britain is never guaranteed good weather!), an item such as the promotional frisbee will become a high volume selling idea.

Usually available in at least 3 sizes, promotional frisbees can accommodate most budgets and being a plastic injection moulded product, the unit cost is not overly expensive. The small sized frisbees are usually around 125mm diameter, the medium around 175mm diameter and the traditional large promotional Frisbees are 220mm in diameter.

Promotional Frisbees come in a large array of colours, either solid or frosted and there is also the possibility to pantone match the colour of the plastic. This does carry an additional set up cost to cover the purchase of the plastic inks, but there isn’t a minimum quantity to pantone match.

The print area on promotional frisbees is one of the best features, with the large sized frisbee having a central print area of 110mm diameter with additional print to the surrounding edge. Please ask a member of the sales team if you would like a visual putting together.

There is a good deal of focus on the environment and promotional frisbee manufacturers have been keen to find a green solution to their products. Now produced in recycled plastic or even using starch based material from the potato processing industry, promotional frisbees can carry your branding as well as an environmental message.
