With winter just a week away, it is prime time to huddle around the fire and sip on some hot chocolate. People typically favour the summertime as they do not have the appropriate clothing or items to get them through this chilly season. But you should take this opportunity to change their opinion and get your name out there at the same time. Here are our top picked items for promotional branding this winter!

Winter Corporate Gift Ideas

Branded Thermal Mugs: are perfect to keep your drinks warm when you decide to brave the crisp winter day. More importantly, the mobility to take these thermal mugs wherever you go offers a fantastic means of marketing.

Custom Printed Scarves and Gloves: are a less common clothing item as the hands and neck are often overlooked.

We even offer gloves that are compatible with your touchphones so you can still take great pictures in your stylish scarves and gloves.

Logo Printed Hand Sanitizer: is necessary for the wintertime due to the number of people bunching in up in public places.

The importance of having the right pen is something that is widely overlooked until you get given a pen that just doesn’t compare and feels wrong to use. If you want to find out all the little details and which promotional pen suits you then read on.

Promotional Plastic Pens

Plastic promotional pens are, of course, the cheaper option so are great for people who have a tight budget. But don’t be put off and believe they are plain and simple because of this! You can customise them in many ways including pad printing, screen printing and full-colour digital print making them eye-catching and exciting. These pens are lightweight and come in a variety of colours making them perfect for your next business event. Our Coloured Parky Pens are a great example of promotional plastic pens.

Logo Branded Metal Pens

You then have the option of metal promotional pens. Due to them being made of a higher quality material they are obviously more expensive. However, spending that extra bit of money really can be worth it! Metal pens are often more reused as they look incredibly pleasing to the eye making them great promotional gifts. They are a brilliant way to promote your business without having to do much more than offering them to your clients. You can pad print these pens, like the plastic pens, but you are also able to have them laser engraved which achieves a classier premium finish. Our Martin Premium Metal Pens are a brilliant example of customised metal pens.
