Key Corporate Events

1. Corporate Golf / Horseracing Days

For many of our customers these days can become the single main event in their customer contact calendar, providing the largest single opportunity to meet clients and impress with hospitality and reward-based customer loyalty. Brilliant Promotions is commonly involved in the planning of these events, consulting on product ideas from embroidered polo shirts to trophy suggestions and the ever-necessary Promotional Golf Gifts.

2. Sales Exhibitions

An important and for some, hectic calendar of sales exhibitions is the mainstay of marketing contact for many Brilliant Promotions clients. Providing an excellent means of high-volume customer contact and new sales lead generation over a short period of time, we are often asked to suggest low cost and high volume relevant product suggestions such as promotional carrier bags, corporate pens and a host of ideas from within our Branded Office Stationary section.

3. Sales Conferences

Many of Brilliant Promotions’ larger corporate clients use the annual sales conference as a time to build their internal staff relationships. With the propensity towards multiple offices within the UK or perhaps a diverse staff base around the world, the sales conference can become the ideal time to further the internal corporate message and reward staff with a chance to network amongst their peers. We commonly supply all manner of promotional conference items for these customers from leather folders to conference and laptop bags, sales or performance awards and security badges and lanyards to name a few - click here for further details.

Please look out for further details on many of the above points throughout the year, as Brilliant Promotions aims to take some of the strain from your marketing planning for the promotional calendar of events in 2007. As ever, should you have any immediate enquires or requirements on the above or any other areas, please get in touch with a member of the Brilliant Promotions sales team for further details.
