The Redbows Promotional Gifts Blog

We have just updated our Chocolate Easter Eggs collection. This is always one of my favourite times of year because I am a ‘chocaholic’. I just love getting the chocolate samples and then taking as much time as is absolutely necessary to put together the perfect Easter Chocolate confectionery collection. We have quite a range of chocolate items for this Easter including traditional boxed chocolate Easter eggs which can be fully personalised with a foil block or 1-4 colour imprint, as well as more novel finger boxes, small Easter gift bags and novelty bunnies. After such a cold winter we think that Spring is a great time – sunshine just puts everyone in the right mood and our personalised chocolates will simply help to promote your brand to even higher levels. We find that a lot of our clients are using chocolate Easter Eggs simply to say ‘thank you’ to their clients and employees. Whatever your use for them, we know that you simply enjoy and savor our mix of UK-made and Belgian chocolate Easter Eggs.  For a wider selection of chocolates and sweets visit our new Confectionery website – the Promotional Sweets Store.

Well just how easy can you make a website to navigate? Well we keep striving at Redbows to provide clients with the best possible and most accurate sources of information when it comes to Promotional Gifts. Our latest micro-website is dedicated to promotional pens, pencils, highlighters, crayons and marker pens. So far initial client reaction has been great because the website does exactly what we intended it to do – give clients the chance to browse our pen and pencil collections on-line before making contact to firm up an order. We just added some new dynamic collections based around lowest price. For example clients can look at pens priced from 10p upwards. We will add more features as we develop the technology behind our websites and just ask that clients keep on making their constructive comments.

In line with our commitment to give clients the best possible advice and product selection in the promotional gifts industry, we launched another micro website today – the Promotional Pens Store. Promotional pens and pencils are two of the best promotional products to sell because they fit the ‘ask’ – high volume, low prices, great value and plenty of imprint area and colour options. We are very excited by our latest micro website and have seen that promotional pens remain one of the most popular and sought after promotional products for campaigns and as use as general giveaways. This is just the start for Redbows as we will be adding more pens and suppliers to the Promotional Pens Store including Parker, BIC, Prodir and many other leading brand pen manufacturers. As with all types of promotional merchandise we also provide ECO friendly pens and pencils on the website made from recycled materials and managed sources.

So with Christmas a distant memory and the nights getting brighter, where do most corporate type head in the week? The driving ranges. Yes now is one of the busiest times as busy executives strive to get their swing back on the mend and prepare for the coming Spring tournaments. Now it may not surprise you to learn that the promotions industry offers a wide range of promotional golf gifts. We can logo brand anything and with gifts for any budget from golf tee packs, to towels, golf balls, shoe holdalls and scorecards is it any wonder why golf gifts sales hit an all time high around March of each year. One of the nicest products we do is office golf sets – yes we can even cater for those executives who simply cannot find the time to get to a driving range.

I read an article the other day about a company that incentives people to recycle in the US. They have a micro-chipped bin which weighs the materials they put inside it and then are rewarded with points they can spend on their high street. This can generate up to US$400 per year per household. What a great idea! So we are living in a world where recycling will become an everyday function and to help this we also have to find ways to adopt more ECO friendly purchasing processes. It is going to become a fact of life that you should think ECO before looking for an alternative rather than find a product and then consider if there is an environmentally alternative. So with this is mind we have an Environmentally Friendly Gifts collection on the Promotional Gifts Store and plan to launch ECO portals for our promotional gifts like pens, mugs and mousemats later this year.
