Travel Promotional Mugs

One of the first things one learns in business courses is about effective advertising. To be successful one needs to have advertising methods that will impress the client, consumer, or other person receiving the promotional items. Promotional mugs can work in two ways. They can be a free gift to someone for recognition of their contribution to your business. They can also be a promotional item that the consumer or client can purchase.
Promotional mugs at coffee shops work by having mugs to sell with the business logo on it as well as to use in the shop. So actually there would be three uses. The travel promotional mugs are more for the first two aspects mentioned. They make great gifts for employees or a conference event at which you want to make a lasting impression.
The travel promotional mugs are very cost effective, but more than that they are functional. A functional item will be used more when offered as a promotional mug. The travel mugs can be used in coffee shops on the way to work, travelling from home, or to give to kids for school. There are even functional travel mugs that are multi functional. For example, the carabiner promotional mugs have a handle that attaches to another object so that you can hook it to a purse or other object when it is not in use. The Echo travel mug is a thermo mug with a range of colour options and a place for your brand. They are above all very effective for businesses as promotional items.

Marketing with Business Gifts

Marketing schemes will vary from business to business. Business gifts as a marketing tool have expanded in the last ten years as the thing to do for consumers. If you want to impress your clients, employees and potential consumers, then the business gift is the way to go. Below are five gift ideas you may want to consider:

  • Pens are a great promotional product. As business gifts they will reach
    more individuals than you might otherwise reach. For example, a pen may be picked up in an office or left at the next store the person visits. It may then be taken home by that employee who then sends it to the workplace with their spouse or to school with a child. The point is that business gifts can travel making them mobile advertisers and very effective.

  • Conference bags are great for individuals who regularly engage in some type of conference or formal meeting.

  • Carrier bags are top of the line in mobile advertising for any store or trade show.

  • Conference folders, with their functionality offer organisational techniques.

  • The next best item for business gifts is clothing. Clothing is functional and durable. The clothes can be worn at a variety of venues for maximum advertising.


Business gifts will be the best marketing tool you can use to reach millions of individuals. You can even reach the rest of the world with the right type of business gift, a like travel bag.

Cost Effective Promotional Laptop Bags


Cost effective businesses are what succeed. You already know that. You know that you have to have advertising, marketing, and sales in order to stay in business. The more you spend and the less you make, the worse the business will do. This is business 101, so what can you do to help promote your business with little cost to you?

There are plenty of ways. The Internet is a great way to advertise because of the cheaper methods. However, it has one failing. It will still not truly show the customer what you are all about. This is why promotional gifts are a great idea for getting your business recognised as a worthy place to shop.

With promotional gifts such as promotional laptop bags you are being cost effective and showing the consumer what you are about. By offering one free laptop bag to a consumer you could potentially touch more than 10 individuals. Each time that bag is used the logo is going to be seen. Even if the potential consumer doesn’t consciously recognise this, they will eventually see the logo again and be curious.
What we mean is that by offering promotional laptop bags at a conference, event, or for any other reasons you could touch more than just that one person. This means that for a few pounds you are getting thousands in free advertising.

The next time you look for promotional gifts or ideas, consider the promotional laptops as a cost effective method for promoting your business with a sound image.

Preparing for Winter!


Winter's coming and we need to be prepared! Any business looking to promote their logo or service should seriously consider gifting a useful product for the winter months. Promotional torches and printed ice scrapers are a good suggestion. Learning from the current environment and its inability to decide it is now hard to guess what the weather will be like over Christmas and in the New Year. You can be sure that if you gift a useful product, your potential clients are sure to keep your gift around for at least a couple of months, until winter passes.

Other good items include:

  • heat packs to warm up your hands in an instant

  • jackets and fleeces

  • umbrellas, of course

  • a nice bottle of wine, to warm up from the inside out
