Brightways Leave a comment

At Brightways we pride ourselves on being one of the UK’s leading suppliers of sports related promotional products but we’re also aware that every sport needs its supporters which is why we also carry a range of cheering items that can be customised specifically for your brand.

Our cheering sticks, also known as bang bang sticks or thunder sticks, are really popular for sports events and come in a wide range of styles including paw shaped ones, rugby ball shapes and even rockets! We also have promotional trumpets and hand clappers so you can make as much noise as possible whilst supporting your team.

Our range of promotional cheering items also includes inflatables such as our inflatable hands. These have the added bonus of being light and easy to transport so great if your company has a stall at an event or you want to buy them in bulk for your employees or for giveaways. The beauty of promotional cheering items is that they are a really effective way to boost brand visibility and positive brand recognition as well as a way of getting your company involved with sporting events.

If you are interested in promotional cheering items but can’t quite find what you are looking for on our website, give us a call and we will be more than happy to discuss your requirements with you.

Choosing the Right Promotional Item.

Brightways Leave a comment

One of the few good things that came out of the recent recession is the surge of new, entreprenueral-based companies coming about from people making the best of a bad situation. When you are launching your own company and trying to hold your own with the larger, better-known names in your industry, promotional products serve as constant visual reminders of your company and are portable advertsing. A recent study by the British Promotional Merchandise Association found that promotional items make a person not only think more favourably about a company, but also more than 70% more likely to use that company or buy their products. In fact, research in the USA found that people are on average 39% more likely to remember a company’s name an entire 6 months after recieving a promotional item as they encourange brand recognition.

One of the reasons that promotional pens are the amoung the most popular promotional products is that they get used all the time. After all, it’s always handy to have a pen on you, and they rarely stay with the same person; pens are one of those small items that get passed around and the more people that see your logo and company name, the better. Usable, practical items are always popular for standard giveaways, for example giving out drawstring bags at trade shows and events with your logo, telephone nuumber and email address on so people use them to carry around flyers and other items that they get given and then keep using the bag afterwards. Other items, such as metal key rings are better for meetings with clients as a small, visual reminder of your brand and to show goodwill.

As well as usability, you should always make sure that your promotional items are high quality and that they reflect your company’s message. Eco friendly items are great for companies to show that they are socially responsible and are perfect for any companies that make and sell green products. When you decide on the product that best reflects your company, it really is a small investment in return for an ever-growing customer base.

Get Ready for the Summer!

Brightways Leave a comment

Summer is nearly here and there is not one, but two bank holidays in May meaning that there is even more time to let your hair down and have fun in the sun. The more relaxed atmosphere and improved weather means that it’s also a great time to get involved with charity events and local promotions to spread your brand and your company’s message further and boost your local profile, so get ready now and make the most of the sunny months.

With the increasing awareness of UV damage and the risk of cancer, sun protection is a must for outdoor events, even if it seems cloudy. We have a range of promotional sunglasses that come in several styles and colours that can be customised with your company’s logo so you can help protect people’s eyes (and your own!) whilst boosting your brand. Hydration is also really important for events during the summer months, especially sporting events such as fun runs or when there is a heat wave, so have plenty of water and other refreshments available for you and your staff as well as some customised water bottles to remind everyone else there to stay hydrated.

Freebies and anything edible or drinkable will always go down well at events, especially outdoors ones where people want to make a day of it so if it is an event you are running, you could look into hiring an ice cream truck or a mobile bar to keep people content and quenched and to make sure that they know that your company throws the best events in town.

Planning an Outdoors Event

Brightways Leave a comment

As the weather gets warmer, outdoors events are a great promotional tool for creating a buzz around your business and drumming up new potential clients. Although they take a bit more planning than your normal inside events, they can prove to be more fun and more effective.

The venue that you pick will determine on your budget, local surroundings and restraints but you also need to keep your eyes peeled for venues with easily accessible power points, parking and toilets, as these don’t come as standard like most venues you would use for indoor events. If you want to keep people at your promotional event whilst they’re there, it is wise to book some kind of portable caterer as well, like a food van.

Outdoors events attract a lot of attention all by themselves, but to guarantee a turn out, it is a good idea to check out where in the local area you can put up posters and banners to promote your event. You may want to look into rented security as well to manage crowds or if anything gets out of hand.

It goes without saying that the Great British weather is a tad unpredictable, so have some rain ponchos printed with your company’s name and logo made so people don’t want to leave if it does start raining. Although these are disposable, they can still serve as a memento of your fun outdoors event and promotional items are more effective if they are usable in some way. If you want to make your event an all-day occasion, you could look into promotional camping chairs as well so people are tempted to stay for longer and learn more about your brand and what you do.

Outdoors events are a great way of getting lots of positive publicity for your brand whilst having a fun day out yourself.
