The Redbows Promotional Gifts Blog

This month we have focused on increasing our range of promotional bags. These make great wonderful gifts because they can be reused and have a long life expectancy, as well offering a very large area for a customised imprint. In terms of leisure bags one of my new favourites is the Backpack with Cord Ties – the number of times I needed one of these with the kids with all their clubs and after school activities. They are great for summer and winter time promotions and their low cost, even with branding means that they can be squeezed into most budgets. On the new ECO Gifts Store we have also been working on our environmentally friendly bags collection for shoppes and general leisure use. The Jute Multipurpose Shopper is a firm favourite here and I am getting quite attached to mine.

Not everyone is into gardening but these ECO Plants and Seed packs are wonderful for office and home based promotions.  Available from our new ECO Gifts Store, they are a great way to promote ECO friendly activities within an office or home environment. The desktop gardens could be real winners from a Feng Shui point of view within an office and help to remind staff that Spring is not that far round the corner – allowing plenty of inference opportunities to energise activities. The ‘Thank You’ Terracottas are a personal favourite – well ‘thank you’ is one of the most powerful phrases in any language.

We’re working hard to launch our new ECO Gifts Store. Taking an eco environmentally friendly view to promotional gifts is like looking at your industry from another dimension. There is so much to consider and yet somehow it feels right to bring carbon footprints, CO2 emissions, sustainability, material recycling and reclaimation into our field of scope. We know that we are going to have a lot of fun with our new ECO gifts website and are looking forward to client feedback as we drive forward to populate it.

We’re always investing at Redbows in our IT and customer care systems. They’re what separate us from the rest of the crowd within the promotional gifts industry. This month we have just released our Free Artwork Redraw service. Most promotional gifts companies charge for this but we feel that our latest Mac systems make this task one of the simplest to perform for clients. Its great when you know that you are adding value for clients and constantly striving push the boundaries on customer care.

In the office the other day I heard one of our promotional gifts consultants talking to clients about advent calendars but then it is ‘hot’ summer. Seriously though the autumn promotional season is not far away and now is the time to think about your autumn/winter campaigns. Other items that you need to get on your gifts radar are promotional calendars and diaries. We’ve heard that there could be a paper shortage towards the end of this year which could impact on the supply of promotional calendars and diaries. If you want to learn more about the Redbows Promotional Calendars and Diaries collection then let us know. As these tend to be slightly more expensive promotional gifts the selection process  can take slightly longer, than say promotional pens. So start to think about your calendars, diaries and wall planners now and book your order with Redbows early to get the best possible price and delivery.
