Corporate gifts need to strike the right chord with customers, and it’s fair to say that many organisations and individuals (rightly)put a high value on the environment these days.

That’s why at www.2bsourced.co.uk we have sourced a wide range of eco-friendly corporate gifts to make sure the promotional merchandise you offer your customers is beyond reproach when it comes to the environment. Our cotton shopper, for instance, is always popular, and we also have a couple of drawstring backpacks that are both eyecatching and stylish – they look great being carried through town with your logo on them.

Some of our promotional merchandise is intriguingly innovative. Take our mouse mats, made of recycled rubber – they look great on customers’ desks, and provide an ethical yet stylish reminder of your company’s brand and image. We can provide you with promotional merchandise including notepads with covers cleverly recycled from drinks bottles, dynamo torches that wind up, and pencils made from recycled newspapers, all at low cost both to the environment and to your company.

It’s important, of course, that all corporate gifts – no matter how eco-friendly – are robust and fit for purpose, and by selecting items such as our sturdy Cobham natural jute tote bag or our fun polypropylene bookmarks you can be sure that you are choosing gifts that will last and continue to go on promoting your brand and image directly to your customers.

A high-quality, useful gift means a customer – or a prospective customer – satisfied. And coupled with good customer service and great products, that means you’re onto a winner.

Promotional items used to be very similar from company to company – maybe a calendar, or a simple, cheap pen that ran out after a couple of weeks. Nowadays, though, the world of promotional merchandise is a whole lot sophisticated, and at www.2bsourced.co.uk we pride ourselves on supplying a wide and interesting range of promotional products that create a sense of generosity and innovation in your company’s giving policy.

For instance, our foldable hairbrush is an ideal item for customers to pop in their handbags or suitcases. They are unlikely to have one already, which increases the retention value of the item, and they will use it regularly – giving them a reminder of your company every time they use it.
Our lip balm and lip balm stick are similarly invaluable gifts of genuine use to customers – after all, if they throw away your promotional gifts, you have wasted your money.

We concentrate on supplying top quality items that will last a considerable amount of time once in the hands of your customers.  You can also time your gifts to events or calendar dates that might be significant to your customers – for instance, wouldn’t everyone welcome a pedometer and calorie counter in the new year when we all start on our fitness programmes?

Quirky gifts also often go down well, and our wooden yoyo will give plenty of fun while getting your brand across to your customer. We even have pocket torches that will shed real light on your image.

Promotional gifts are an important way to help your business attract new customers and keep them, acting as both an incentive and a reward.
While no-one would suggest promotional gifts are a clincher in these matters – great products and fantastic customer service naturally come first – promotional items are a nice way to broadcast your company’s image and keep it in the public eye.

But what promotional merchandise to choose? There’s a huge range on the market, and picking the wrong items at the wrong price can be a costly and unnecessary mistake.

At www.2bsourced.co.uk we carry a wide range of promotional products to suit all company budgets and requirements.

We like to provide products that are a real boost to customers, useful and stylish, and our best sellers are an interesting bunch. For instance, our backpack with reflective strip is a perennial favourite, and we know customers get great use out of our long-handled natural shopping bag.
If you fancy something a bit different to promote your company, you might like our cheerful beach ball – fun and practical once summer comes.

Of course, pens are always a handy gift, and our range includes a number of ballpens including the stylish silver-barrelled Cardiff pen.

You can make sure your company stays right on their desk with our computer screen cleaner, or if you have an outdoor event or venue to publicise you might choose our handy translucent poncho – ideal if it rains for keeping the family dry while promoting your brand positively.

Corporate gifts are an essential part of business these days, and it’s not hard to see why. For starters, they are a thankyou to established customers, but also a nice introduction to new or prospective customers, who will see your company as generous.

And secondly, good corporate gifts such as a quality mug or pen are likely to stay on your customer’s desk for a long time, reminding them constantly of your company and what you can do for them.

However, choosing the right promotional gifts is important, and that’s where we at 2bsourced.co.uk can help.

Promotional items need to be, first and foremost, useful – that way, your customer will hang onto them, and also relate the idea of usefulness to your brand and image. It’s no good spending money on corporate gifts if the only part of the office they see is the waste bin.

Promotional products need to be relevant to your company, and they also need to be of good quality. Shoddy goods that come apart – for instance, a mug that loses its handle and dumps tea on someone’s laptop – will impress no-one and can actually do damage to your company’s image.

So when you are choosing promotional gifts, keep a few things in mind. Try to choose items that have some rarity value, or which can be of great use to your customer, and make sure that the supplier is providing sturdy, high-quality goods that will promote your image properly. And finally, make sure you display your brand prominently on them – crucial.
