During this winter and spring season the ideal gift would appear to be in promotional umbrellas. If you can distribute these gifts before the April showers, your clients won’t get caught out in the rain and they’ll have you to thank for it. An umbrella is often an item that is rarely bought with most people having some form of business umbrella stored away somewhere. If you give out a high quality, reliable umbrella, your clients will be likely to hold on to it for a long time, usually spanning years.

Timing is everything and if you can distribute the perfect gift for the upcoming season it shows the kind of foresight that will mark you out as a business with a great potential for growth. A promotional umbrella is your opportunity to take a miserable rainy situation and turn it around into a positive opportunity for the development of your business.

A useful tool for promoting your business

Even now, with so much computer technology, writing and the pen are essential tools for any business or any part of life. They are an essential item round the office, so as a business, there is surely no better gift or promotional item than the pen that has become such a valuable tool of modern business.                        

We can provide you with a high quality pen that will quickly become an everyday essential item for its owner; a reputation that will carry good associations with your company.  We all know the great joy of possessing an excellent pen for a brief period of time; now you have the opportunity to associate that joy with your company because the promotional pens that we offer are fully customisable to carry your logo or brand name.

Writing tools have been used for generations to convey ideas and to educate and inform. Today, you have the opportunity to be a permanent part of that process by informing people about your company with the writing tool itself rather than what it writes. Every time somebody picks up a pen to write, let them reach for the pen that promotes your company. Get the message out; show your support for the importance of writing.

Give a professional gift to promote your business

So how do you make your company and business stand out from others and grab people’s attention, whilst still ensuring that you are projecting the right image and ethos of your company? The key to any successful marketing, advertising and business promotion campaign today are your corporate gifts and promotional products.

There are such a vast number of ways in which you can advertise your company to people, but if your budget is tight then it is important to ensure that the advertising techniques you use to promote your company and make you stand out in the crowd and be noticed.

An effective way of engaging the public, other businesses and future clients for your business, is to hand out or send out free business gifts, or if your business lends itself towards it, free samples of the product or service in question. This is an excellent way, of engaging the public and businesses alike, attracting business and raising awareness of your company and brand.

You can create an excellent product or provide a first rate service, but before you can grow as a business you need to get the word out. In the 21^st century it is essential to shout to getting your business noticed the underpinning of successful advertising and promotion is grabbing as many people’s attention as possible.

A physical reminder of your company

In order to promote your business, it’s important to be able to leave people with a physical and visual reminder of your company. This is why it can be greatly beneficial to your promotion to invest in a few promotional items that you can give away in order to create increased awareness and recognition of your business or brand. The different customisable products we have range from unique gifts like branded teddy bears and golf accessories to very practical items like USB drives or promotional pens.

We have many different promotional items ranging in price, so that you have plenty of options to suit the purpose that you want to use them for. You could distribute some useful promotional items as gifts among your employees so that you can keep them happy and promote your business outside of work simultaneously. Alternatively you could use the items as part of a promotional give-away, or as freebies in exchange for signing a mailing list. The best promotional campaigns grow awareness of the brand in a very organic way; get your name out in a series of small items and let those items do the work for you.

The perfect reminder of your brand

It is the “staying power” of promotional gifts and products which gives them the advantage over other advertising techniques. A promotional mug for example, can be a long term advertising opportunity for your company. Every time the recipient of your mug uses it for their morning cup of coffee, it could sit on their desk throughout the working day; they are constantly being reminded of your brand and company.

Promotional gifts are becoming increasingly popular because a good quality promotional product is both functional and useful, so it is used by the recipient for a very long time. The marketing value of leaving someone with a physical, tangible reminder of your brand can not be underestimated.

So don’t waste your money by spending a fortune on advertising campaigns and initiatives that will only be seen once or twice at most and instead, choose the best advertising tool available to your company, promotional gifts, as they will have a lasting impression.

Find the perfect gift in our large range

But that’s not all we have to offer, we have a massive range of different products to choose from so that you can give the best gifts to your associates or clients. Mugs, bags, pens, even golf gifts and teddy bears could be the start of a beautiful relationship between you and your client. We even make it possible for you to give somebody some wine or champagne with your company logo on it. It’s a nice touch when you’re looking to give someone a small treat like a bottle of wine to have it emblazoned with the company logo. It will make you look slick and professional because it gives off the impression of a company that runs a tight ship.

Business gifts need to be well thought out and correctly measured to the tone of the situation. A gift like a high quality pen is never going to go amiss because it is both thoughtful and extremely useful in the world of business. When you do an important deal or want to build a professional relationship with somebody that you work with a business gift is the perfect way to set the tone at a professional level whilst still expressing the fact that you thought and cared enough to provide them with a gift because you value them as a client or associate.

A nice shirt makes a positive statement

Round the house, or fixing something in the garage, some promotional clothing from the workplace is something that employees can wear during their free-time that identifies them as part of the company. A t-shirt or a jumper is a very useful gift; everyone who receives one will be able to put it to some good use. Plus, whenever they use it outside of work it will be promoting your company to anyone who sees it, which is effectively free advertising. If you choose some nicely fitted high quality t-shirts with eye catching designs, you’ll be sending out a positive message about the company to anyone who sees your employees wearing one in public.

Clothing can be a quality gift that lasts for years, so you can afford to think about what this gift might still be doing for you and your company in the years to come. Many people will have lots of old t-shirts or clothes that they’ve had for a long time, and because our custom-made clothing is of a very high quality it will still comfortable and could even take pride of place as their favourite old shirt – a reputation that will associate your company with something treasured to them.

Promotional clothing offers you the opportunity to include the company in a small part of your employee’s home-life. Sitting in a wardrobe, or worn on a day off, the clothing you choose allows your employees to identify themselves as part of the company that they are proud to work for.

Business Gifts from EMC

Giving out business gifts to your customers shows that you appreciate their business and value them as a customer. It creates a personal bond between the customer and the company; making each customer feel that they count as an individual to your company. This would make them more likely to remain a client to your business, and to recommend your company to others.

Some great gift ideas for the New Year are:
- Promotional umbrellas – With the typical British weather, especially in January and February, an umbrella will undoubtedly be a useful gift which customers would be more than happy to receive. The umbrellas can be printed with your company name and logo, so that when they are in use (which will presumably be a lot of the time!) they are advertising your company.

- Calendars and diaries – These are always needed at the very start of the year, so would be a great gift to give out just before 2012 begins. Because calendars and diaries are used daily, they act as a daily reminder of your company to your customer.

- Wine and champagne – Giving wine or champagne at this time of the year is a good idea because customers can welcome in the New Year with a drink from a bottle with your company’s name on it. Therefore, your company is in their mind at the very beginning of the year.

We have a wide range of gifts to choose from so you are bound to find something which you would like to give to your clients for the New Year.
