A Promotional Products Staple – The Branded Mug

Image
When we’re asked what a go-to promotional product is, no matter what business you’re in, a branded mug will always be a successful advertising tool because – everyone drinks, don’t they? People in all walks of life and business need to wet their whistles on a daily basis so why not supply them with a cup or mug with your logo and strapline to tell people what you’re all about? Promotional mugs are a cost-effective marketing tool for businesses on a tight budget. There are hundreds of design options and mug types to suit your business and we can even Pantone match the mug to your company colours.

How Brexit May Affect The Promotional Products Industry In The UK

Image
First, I must apologise for bringing the ‘B-word’ into bmt Promotions blog posts but, the issue has to be addressed. Brexit will no doubt have an effect on the promotional products industry here in the UK. As it stands, the UK will either leave the European Union on 31st October 2019 with either an agreed deal with the EU or no deal agreed. If no deal is established Britain’s trading rules will revert to The World Trade Organisations. Britain’s exit from the EU has been delayed twice already so don’t hold me to any of this! The promotional products sector contributes over £1BN to the UK economy and potential trading challenges, issues with currency fluctuations and politicians unable to make decisions on Brexit, are impacting the choices we make with our promotional product businesses. Issues we may face There is uncertainty in the future so there are no real defining answers as to what will happen in the promotional product industry once we leave the...

The promotional keyring It may not seem the most desirable item to gift as a promotional product when there are more quirky items out there but, a keyring is something that majority of people have attached to their set of car and house keys. They’re noticed by many when they’re thrown on tables, hung up on hooks and played with by the kids, increasing the opportunity that your business brand could be seen on one. This makes a keyring a fantastic item to include in your promotional product portfolio. One specific keyring that has so much versatility is the PVC keyring .
