Get listed on Promotional Product Blogs

So far we have quite a few industry experts get listed on Promotional Product Blogs.   Whilst an easy way to do this is to create unique content and send us a case study, we are also helping to feature their latest creative promo gift news on the right menu here.   Over the past few days we were encouraged to read some of the following....

English magazine explains how to rank for promotional products search terms.   I agree - go longtail...
"There is so much competition for the search term ‘promotional products’ that you stand little chance of succeeding. Much better is to adopt a policy of ‘longer string’ search terms, for example:
exhibition giveaways portland
branded polo shirts under $10
medical stress toys maryland"

Case study on mobile phone wallets in Silicone.  Been seeing a lot of these recently, so have to say they are trending. But EMT go a step further with a stand...
"Perfect for work, a night on the town, or sporting events. The Silicone Cell Phone Wallet with Stand (Kick Stand) holds credit cards, business cards, hotel keys and more in landscape or Portrait perspective."

Pinnacle blog on an actual case study and this is something which we really value higher than most other blog posts.    A Casestudy tells you what works, where, and for whom.   Keep them coming...
"Gatorade’s #WinfromWithin campaign went for the personalization angle earlier this year. You can create your own, personalized label for your Gatorade bottle. But, in creating your own label you were also entered into a contest to win a case of Gatorade bottles with your labels on the bottle."

Visit this Irish Promo Gift Specialist and find out why smiles could earn you an ipad.   Can you resist?
"If your picture receives the most likes you will win a fabulous Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet. Participate in Share a Smile, go to www.shareasmile.eu, share your smile this summer and experience how wonderful it is to make someone smile. Share a Smile! This summer is going to be great!"

EPromos are explaining their love for Moscow Mules and more importantly those magnificent Promotional Copper Mugs that are so popular right now.   Drinks companies are really driving demand sky high.
"It’s been said that the mug makes the mule. If you’re mixing up Moscow mules, there’s nothing like promotional copper mugs to keep the drink ice cold – and your logo front and center."

We would love to hear your news. Drop us a mail and get listed too. People want to know.

Bottle Cap Connectors to Extend Branding.

Coca Cola are busy re-tasking bottles for a strong afterlife in Asia.   Their idea is to contribute to early recycling and keep their brand alive and in front of customers for long after the fizz has left their drinks.   This video shows bottles being used in different ways and these ideas & themes caught our eye.

  • Water guns are popular in summer and great for younger users
  • Paint brushes tie the brand to education
  • Whistles for safety, sport, tie in to World Cup and other celebrations
  • Pencils again for education
  • Connector to make 2 bottles dumbbell - Sport and good for old and young.
  • Plant Watering add-on - good for all and the environment.
  • Bubble Blowing connector
  • Light Capsule for kids night lights
  • Spinning arms game for toddlers


Our understanding is that this marketing and promotional products campaign has been created in collaboration with Ogilvy and Mather.   The idea is to launch 16 innovative caps, which can be screwed on to the Coca Cola bottle and transform them into something useful.  Who can link all 16 of these concepts on the blog.  Would love to know them all.

In the video we see a package being handed over with multiple items.   I prefer a random giveaway promotional mechanism.  It creates surprise, collectibles campaign encouraging repeat purchase, barter and swapping in communities etc..   So much more fun.

Do you have any suggestions for alternative uses and re-purposing this packaging.   How about some fun ideas to go with Glass Bottles also?

Feel free to contact us and we can build some wonderful Drinks Packaging & Promo Gifts together.
