2017 has been a fun year for the more inventive promotional product. Don’t get me wrong, the standard, essential products such as pens, lanyards and leaflets are still flying out to customers but, companies are becoming much more daring with the types of promotional products they are giving away to their customers. Technology related items Technology is fast growing and the consumables to go alongside are useful and desired. Mobile phone accessories such as ear phones, mobile phone cases, mobile phone stands are quickly becoming popular promotional products that companies gift to their customers.

That we continue to be a ha...

I’ve nabbed our busy Director at bmt Promotions , Jack Thomas to talk about business in 2017 and all things Christmas. How has 2017 been positive for you in business?

What difficulties have you faced in business in 2017?

Aside from these minor difficulties, we were approached with an acquis...
