The Redbows Promotional Gifts Blog

There is something about a teddy bear that appeals to the ‘inner child’ in us all. Maybe because for the majority of us a ‘teddy’ was our first toy, even if we cannot truely remember then. Somehow they emote compassion and feelings within us. So it is not surprising that for many organisations promotional teddies are the promotional product of choice. There is a wide range to choose from in terms of shape, size and colours. Off course they can also be branded with a sash, bow or t-shirt. Several from our own range are also available in micro versions on keychains. As with any promotional marketing it is important to get a real synergy between marketing cause, effect and message and for me teddy bears work the best when it comes to ’soft’ promotions for children, charities and health issues. We were recently asked for some free samples for a client whose cat just loved to play and chew them – well that was a definite ‘no-no’ as I am sure you could imagine. I am sure that a Rambo version of Paddington Bear would have its uses sometimes…

Exercise and keep-fit are always high on the agenda when it comes to summer promotions and promotional products that suit this this time of the year are generally outdoor related. Take promotional frisbees and flyers for example. These items are always fun to give and offer plenty of promotional imprint area. What’s more they are available in a range of sizes and colours. Off course items like these also have what we call a ‘display factor’ in that we find customers reporting that their clients tend to keep these items in their offices and on display as a sort of fun item to remind them of the summer and warmer times and perhaps display the youthfulness of their ‘inner child’. For more fun ideas see our promotional toys collection. Off course such promotional items also appeal to a wide audience and cross-section of society including animal lovers (dogs) and parents, as well as schools, clubs and youth-related organisations.
