A new year and you are probably well into planning and fine tuning activities for 2014.
If you are organising a conference, event, product launch or other initiative ... and you require large quantities of promotional merchandise (e.g. bags, apparel, compendiums) or something a little 'unique' that is created just for your brand, check if an indent order is viable.
Are you familiar with 'indent ordering'?
An indent order i.e. trade talk for a made to order or bespoke product .. or a large quantity request, involves us placing your order directly with the factory (rather than use stock on hand waiting to be embroidered or screen- printed). Not only will this ordering option generally save you dollars, but you will also be able to incorporate any personalised features to create a unique promotional item.

A happy work force creates a much more successful business, by increasing productivity and sales (not to mention a decrease in staff turnover).
Promotional Products can play a role to reward, engage, recognise and educate staff. Here are 8 ideas that are easy and cost effective to incorporate:
1: New Employee Welcome Kit - Create a Welcome Kit for new staff. Include branded items e.g. branded water bottle, stationery items, mints. Read more here - Employee Welcome Kits
2: Monthly Award - Reward employees who have contributed to the business during a given month.
3: Training - Reinforce important messages and policies using a branded item e.g. mouse mat, USB stick or branded desk item.
4: Communication - Use a newsletter or the intranet to engage staff and include prizes for employee submissions that are included as policy.
