2 Great Corporate Apparel Items To Add To Your Wardrobe

Written by

Usually when people think corporate apparel they envisage something more formal like business shirts and pant. That doesn’t need to be the way. There are casual corporate apparel items which look just as good on staff. There are ways to look good without breaking the bank. These are 2 great corporate apparel items to add to your wardrobe.

Look smart with t-shirts

T-shirts might seem like a casual clothing item but it does mean it can’t look good. The key with promotional t-shirts is to make sure they are quality. Whilst we have a large range of t-shirts on offer we generally offer AS Colour or SOLS products. We find AS Colour is a bit more expensive but has brand cache and quality. The SOLS ones are similar quality but relatively unknown in this market so they are cheaper.

If you are looking at using promotional t-shirts as part of your corporate clothing range you have made the right choice. You want your staff to be comfortable during working hours and a good cotton t-shirt will do the trick. Also the large print areas mean that you can play around with your branding.

Polos for something more upmarket

If you like the idea of comfort but want something with a bit more value then choose a polo. Promotional polos are definitely a good choice if you are looking for something more up market. There is a huge range available so you will be spoilt for choice. There is also a excellent range of colour so you are sure to find something to suit your corporate identity.

Polos shirts have always been a popular choice on the construction site. Now they are increasingly becoming appealing in the office and in shops. Generally they are branded using embroidery which adds to the quality of the product.

 

4 Great Ideas For Outdoor Promotions

Written by

The days are gradually getting warmer so before you know it spring will be upon us. This will give us more opportunity to spend more time out doors. It will also give marketers the chance to run more outdoor events. Running outdoor events is always fun and a great opportunity to promote ones brand or services. Here are 4 great ideas for outdoor promotions.

Be seen with promotional car sunshades

One of the most under-rated and under-utilised promotional products out there I would say are promotional car sunshades. They are such a great product because they are inexpensive and very visual. Promotional car sun shades offer a marketer a huge print area where you can print almost anything. That makes them a branding dream.

What I love about promotional sun shades most is they practicality. Whilst it is not a great issue during winter months the sun can really wreak havoc on a cars interior during summer. There is nothing worse than coming back to a really hot car after being away to a few minute. Indeed footage, released by motoring organisation the NRMA, shows the inside temperature of a car can climb by as much as 70 per cent in just minutes in the summer heat.

Enjoy your day in the sun with a custom esky

The esky is a quintessential Australian as are sausage rolls and meat pies. Although the word Esky is an Australian brand of portable coolers it is commonly used in the Australian vernacular as a reference to cooler boxes. The custom esky (or cooler box) can be custom branded with your logo making then great for outdoor promotions. Whether you’re looking for a promotional item or a gift with purchase branded cooler boxes are a popular item.

What’s more in the extreme heat conditions that we often experience in Australia a custom esky can be a life line. When they are stocked with cool drink and ice they serve to keep the users well hydrated and cool. That would probably explain why they are so well received as personalise gift.

Stay sun safe with straw hats

Again our harsh condition mean come summer you really want to protect yourself. All our styles of straw hats are breathable and provide great protection from the heat of the sun. Perfect for a day on the beach, a walk in the bush, a day out fishing on the lake.

Classic straw hats are perfect for any business in the outdoor leisure, sport and travel field. Popular and available in three classic styles, branded straw hats are the hottest thing going around every summer. They are great for any promotion and are widely embraced by marketers all over the country.

Personalised Merchandise to expand your brand
