Promotional mugs as a leading corporate marketing product are well-known best-sellers over the years. Combining large branding areas capable of displaying a bright and complex company logo and sales and contact messages, a low unit cost and the ability to be reused over several years and kept by the user, promotional mugs have a host of reasons to attribute for their continued success. Indeed, such is the versatility of promotional mugs as a relevant corporate gift item for current economic times, that many customers are asking how they can keep their printed promotional mugs orders as vibrant as they day they were purchased. There are clear benefits of looking after your promotional mugs order and how to keep the mugs fresh looking. Clean promotional mugs will create a positive lasting impression of your brand.

In relation to the above, it should be noted that promotional mugs should be kept clean at all times and the best method for washing promotional mugs is either by hand in the office kitchens using warm soapy water or also by using company dishwashers, if they are present within your organisation. Promotional mugs come in various shapes and sizes and most commonly come available as either earthenware or bone china. In both of these most common forms of promotional mugs, a branded company logo will be safe for use within dishwashers as long as the promotional mugs have not been printed using a dye sublimation process. Promotional mugs using dye sublimation printing technique are safe for approximately 250 washes to protect your company logo before it is possible for it to begin to fade. A trusted corporate gifts company will be able to advise on how best to protect your promotional mugs orders and should be able to offer you the best advice on the optimum promotional mugs and branding to suit your organisation’s core values.

We’d like to take this opportunity to inform customers of an exciting new promotional marketing opportunity and the ability to really stand out from the crowd within corporate gifts in the form of corporate book products from Brilliant Promotions.

We’ve teamed up with leading London-based publishers who produce the finest quality coffee-table books for both the corporate and public markets. With an established stable of books already in the market on topics as widespread as the beauty oceans to the drama of Bollywood cinema, we are able to offer a selection of books which can be over-branded with a company logo, include paper inserted company profiling as special editions or completely sponsored additional print runs. Additionally, we are pleased to add that we can also provide the opportunity for select clients to create their own fully-bespoke corporate book on any topic a customer may wish to choose, such as the history and evolution of their own brands, for example. We anticipate that for some of our customers, corporate branded books as promotional products will represent an exciting new possibility to expand and communicate their brand values and for use as Christmas corporate gifts, for example.

For customers used to ordering items such as promotional mugs, corporate branded golf umbrellas, promotional caps and corporate printed mouse mats, we realise that this product line is as different as it is new in terms of usual promotional product branding but we look forward to any enquiries from all customers interested in this exciting new product line.

Brilliant Promotions would like to extend our sincerest congratulations to Rory McIlroy upon the fantastic achievement of winning his first major golf tournament – the US Open 2011 at Congressional, Maryland. Furthermore, the efforts of Darren Clarke in winning The Open Championship at Royal St George’s in July were a magnificent sight to witness. After 20 years of persistent effort and never-say-die attitude, big Darren proved the doubters wrong and showed that you should never give up on your ambitions and goals.

Rory & Darren represent what we admire here at Brilliant Promotions – the pursuit of betterment through application and hard work from humble beginnings.

We hope to see Rory going on to fulfil his potential with many more tournament victories at home and abroad in the coming months and years. Another Open victory for Daren Clarke would be equally as welcome…

Well done Rory and Darren!

Long established as a leading promotional product in its own right due to the practical nature of its use all year round and for many years, the promotional sports bag from Brilliant Promotions is also a fantastic choice of corporate gift product due to the sheer size of the branding area available to display a large company logo or sales message. This allows for corporate customers to use promotional sports bags as promotional products ideal for advertising a series of marketing messages, perhaps to launch a series of new products or simply to draw people’s attention to the creation of a new company website. Multi-location branding areas exist on promotional sports bags and this in turn gives the marketing manager the opportunity to create an advertising product that displays a number f brand identities, in the example of a food manufacturer for instance, which may have several well-known but distinct brand identities.

Some of the more popular types of promotional sports bags ideal for displaying a large corporate message include the Balmoral Sports Holdall, the Sports Bag and the Polyester Sports Bag. A company logo, web and contact details etc can all be proudly displayed on your promotional sports bag of choice by either using screen printing or embroidery methods to display your company logo and web details. On occasion a number of corporate logos can be printed or embroidered, for example where an event is hosted by a number of partner organisations. Promotional sports bags also benefit from being practical promotional gifts which have real multifunctional value – they will not just be used by your employees on the way to the gym, as seldom as that might be! Expect to see people using promotional sports bags as an integral part of their daily lives – promotional sports bags with a large carrying capacity are just as adept at transporting documents as sports gear and at home in the supermarket as on the train or tube.

Promotional sports bags most commonly have large flat banding areas and can accommodate multi-coloured company logo branding wither through screen-printing or embroidery personalisation techniques. Corporate marketing messages or company logo replication on promotional sports bags leaves so much scope for expression tha they are for many a promotional merchandise dream. It is also possible in many instances to pantone match the main corporate colour of your company with the with the promotional sports bag colour and therefore create a truly bespoke promotional gift choice.

Promotional sports bags from Brilliant Promotions and corporate holdall products represent the ideal marketing product solution for many marketing managers and communications decision-makers due to a number of important factors; the capacity to brand the promotional sports bag with a large company logo or sales message, the practical nature of these corporate products not only as a business gift but also as an every day item used by millions of people around the country and also as a multi-functional tool – a promotional sports bag will not just be used by gym-bunnies and sports team, they will be taken to the shops, be seen on the train and taken away on trips both local and around the globe. When you consider the above factors in combination with what is commonly thought of as a hard-wearing corporate gift product, it becomes obvious why the promotional sports bag is seen by so many corporates as a must-have item to use in the marketing communications mix.

Promotional sports bags such as the Balmoral Sports Holdall will often be given out by companies to delegates attending conferences, both national and international. A breeding ground for competitive advantage amongst your competitors and suppliers, conferences often mean you need to make your corporate image seen at all times. Using a product such as the Polyester Sports Bag or the Riverhead Weekender Travel Bag and having it either screen-printed or embroidered with your company logo will ensure that your presence is seen, your brand identity is noticed and your website detail are taken note of – it is always important to keep one step ahead of the competition!

To reward your important suppliers and more often than not, your valued customers is also a key part of the corporate calendar at Christmas. Depending on the amount of corporate gifts you intend to give away at Christmas will often dictate exactly which promotional gifts are chosen. For example in the case where a few very important clients are to be shown appreciation for their loyal custom, why not consider the Genuine Soft Leather Holdall (Wet Base) subtly branded with your company logo, or for a higher run of promotional sports bags give-aways, a promotional gift such as the Nylon Sports Bag will form a tasteful and appreciated business gift choice. Whatever the budget and whichever the choices made, your preferred corporate gifts supplier should be able to help you create a lasting impression using a promotional sports bag which will display your company details for years to come…
