There are many opinions as to which is the best way to choose promotional gifts. Many people look online as their first port of call, whilst others prefer to set up a meeting with their promotional gift distributor. However the use of the promotional products catalogue shows no sign of falling in popularity. There is a huge volume of catalogues that are sent out and received by marketing departments up and down the country. Most of these are catalogues put together by the trade allowing a business gift distributor to put their own cover on. 

The Steel City Marketing Directory is not a trade catalogue. Now in its 29th year of production, this annual 96 page promotional products catalogue is put together by the highly experienced sales team choosing from the entire business gift industry best selling and new product ideas.

Our promotional products catalogue is not restricted to a set number of trade suppliers, it is not reliant on a narrow sourcing base. Months of work go into ensuring it is THE best and only fully independent promotional products catalogue in the UK.

Within the Steel City Marketing Directory, you will find a set of promotional products, carefully laid out in easy to find and reference categories. Clarity of images (and often using group shots taken on our own instruction to show proportion and sizing) and products are of vital importance, good indexing and easy to follow product codes improve the usability of this promotional products catalogue above most others.

Pricing is a guide at the time of print and being based on 1 colour to 1 position across the range, it is to be used as a reference as we can often improve on these prices. Please see the Steel City Marketing promotional products catalogue as a call to action to speak to one of our experienced sales team who see every step on the promotional products sourcing road as requiring as personal service as possible.

Should you be unsure if we have your details for the forthcoming mailing of the new SCM promotional products catalogue, please send an email with your full address or call now and someone will be happy to check our records.

Why not give something away that is fun in your next promotional campaign. Promotional juggling balls are just that; fun, addictive and provide a great opportunity to show off your logo, message or brand name.

Promotional juggling balls remain hugely popular as a business gift idea. They are made from fully recyclable PCV, and are available in a large range of colours.

Printing on promotional juggling balls has historically been limited to spot colour work, often requiring simplification of logos. Now, however, full colour branding is possible, opening up a whole host of print options.

Gift boxing is also a consideration when looking at promotional juggling balls. Gift tubes are available and these can be printed up to full colour process. You can even produce your own puzzle tube which adds a secondary tease to the already addictive juggling balls.

Juggling is addictive and challenging – it is something that can be practised and tried anywhere; at home, the workplace or on holiday. It is something that will test everyone and everyone can have a go. Placing your branding on promotional juggling balls will ensure you are remembered for a good deal of time to come.

Speak to a member of the sales team if you are considering doing something different for your next campaign and would like to find out more about whether promotional juggling balls would be the right product for you.

One of the hardest tasks for any marketing department these days is getting their audiences attention and keeping it for as long as possible. The challenge is equally hard if not harder within the specific area of promotional and business gifts. Magic Cubes are a great idea that have proved over the years that they achieve the impressions required of a gift or giveaway item, provide great branding possibilities and give the recipient something to entertain and remember you by.

The original member of the magic cubes family is the 7cm promotional cube. Due to the production process, there is a minimum quantity of 500 units. The lead-time can be chosen to either benefit from a lower price point (around 6 – 8 weeks) or if you pay a premium, delivery can be reduced to around 4 weeks. There is a initial set up cost, but this is a complex product, producing fantastic final results, so is a small price to pay to get the branding wow factor.

The popularity of a product invariably leads to demands for newer models, variations, add-ons, and this has been the case for magic cubes. There are now quite a few models to choose from and these provide that something new as well as different ways to bamboozle the recipient.

Add ons to the promotional magic cube include having music, a secret compartment or a magnet (for paperclips etc). These are quite innovative ways of giving the item a desktop feature or a value added idea.

Magic Diamond: A great addition to the magic cubes family. With more visible faces than the promotional magic cube for the same price, this is a ideal choice of anyone looking to brand an item with a good deal of information.

Magic Orbit: A puck or disc shaped magic cube, this shows a new way of manipulating allowing good full colour branding to get your message across.

Magic Prism: Sometimes referred to as the triangle. Playing with this version of the magic cubes range allows you to create quite a few different shapes that most people wouldn’t .

Although a long lead-time product, the results once you have your set of finished magic cubes are truly stunning. It is a product that provides that something different and to magic cubes in more detail, contact the sales team now.
