Why calendars are one of the top selling Promotional Merchandise

Compared to other promotional merchandise, calendars would be visible to your prospective clients 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Imagine how many impressions that would make for a very inexpensive item?
Aside from that, people would rarely change the calendar they are using for the year. The first one they put up would stay there for the rest of the year.

So why not be the first to give them a calendar for next year? During peak season for calendars, production time would take as much as 8 weeks due to the volume of orders from all other companies. Also, should you decide to order earlier, we can get the calendars at a much lower cost, saving you more of your budget.

Feel free to give Yellow Pig Promotional Gifts a call to find out what options we have available and the cost savings we can do for your business.

*** WARNING*** - A MUST READ FOR USB BUYERS

For first time or experienced promotional USB buyers we strongly advise you continue to read as this could save you and your company lots of time, money and brand embarrassment!

If you don’t already know then you will find out soon enough that promotional USB Flash Drive prices can be so erratic with prices changing on a daily or weekly basis? The problem stems from a continuous circulation of misinformation regarding brand able flash drive memory chip prices and the cost of materials. Often buyers believe they can purchase USB sticks below the market price quoted through an online vendor with no accreditations and sceptical price lists. It’s becoming common practice for some Chinese factories to supply prices direct to the UK and Ireland but reputable USB memory chips costs are exactly the same for every manufacturer as currently the demands for USB Chips are far out stripping the current supply chain

so there are a few things you need to know! USB Chips arrive in 4 different classes or standards

Grades A, B & C. & now unofficially a Grade D

Grade A:

These are certified premium USB chips with the flash chip manufacturers name & serial number imprinted on the chip itself. These chips are produced by manufacturers such as Samsung and Hynix. They are the most reliable chips offering a lifetime warranty which means together with a 100% satisfactory guaranteed print your branding is sure to stay in front of your target audience for longer than any other grade USB Chip.

Yellow Pig Promotions have only and will only ever supply Grade A chips.

Also - We have never had a complaint!

Grade B:

OEM USB Chips. Produced by legitimate manufacturers but supplied without the manufacturer's name imprinted on them. These chips are just as reliable but are not to the same standards that the manufacturer would consider putting their name on.

Grade C:

Recycled or reclaimed USB Chips. These’s chips are considered waste from the "wafer" that the manufacturer does not want and considers to be garbage! Grade C USB Chips have between 30% - 40% failure rate. They are sold by the pound! Here’s where the quality issues & problems begin. These will be some of the least expensive flash drives available to the UK Market but have a very high failure rate.

Purchase 1,000 branded with your company logo and the chances of have more than 600 in use supplying brand impressions are slim! Don’t let Grade C recycled Chips Cost your Brand the Earth!

Grade D:

It’s not uncommon for a selfless manufacturer to purchase grade C USB Chips and then imprint an original manufacturer's name on the Grade C chip. It may read Samsung or Hynix, etc. but is most definitely going to land your brand in big trouble they are worthless and FAKE!.

In conclusion you may never know what grade USB chips you are purchasing unless of course you find one of your branded USB’s in a bin one day!

If you look hard enough you may find USB drives offered to you online at cheap prices but you won’t find a single USB for sale with the quality and assurance offered by us.

As the old saying goes………”The taste of a bargain is easily replaced by the bitterness of being fooled”

The safe option is to purchase from a reputable professional reliable company who are proud members of the BPMA which means you are sure to benefit from a professional service and strict code of conduct. At Yellow Pig Promotions we pride ourselves on providing you with the highest levels of customer service, so rest assure your experience with us will be as effortless as possible.

To Bin or Not To Bin

How often have you seen a quality metal ball pen with a well know brands logo on it and you have thought “Wow I remember when there logo was that design” ?? Bring back memories? How often can you say the same for an inexpensive plastic pen??? Not so often hey??

The power of promotional products is a balance between, usability, practicality, quality and price! Four key elements that can make or break a marketing campaign and four elements that only a true marketing professional can guarantee to get right! If you put your brand name onto a “Throw away Pen” Custom Printed Pens then this is precisely what will happen to it! It will be thrown away! Yes it will pass through an average of 10 hands which will still be great value for money! Imagine this scenario your throw away pen passes 10 hands and each hand uses the pen 20 times that’s 200 impressions of your brand or logo for anything from 15p upwards! Where else can you get such value?

Let’s now imagine you branded some good quality metal ball pens, this pen passes 50 hands and each hand tried harder to keep the pen as they like the quality! So let’s say that on average each hand uses the pen 100 times, now your £1.00 pen has had 5000 impressions which is fantastic and nowhere else can you get such value for money advertising!

So next time you are looking to use promotional advertising products to market your brand name or logo remember the following key points, 1) always ensure that you use the services of a professional promotional marketing expert such as yellowpig.co.uk anyone can sell you products but not everyone can help you to BUY the RIGHT products. 2) Quality over quantity because if your goal is to get your brand or message seen by as many people as possible then you are better to offer 250 quality items as apposed to 1000 lower quality “Throw Away” items 3) Don’t be scared to ask a your expert advisor for help! Remember they are there to help; marketing companies similar to yours is what they do on a daily basis. Lastly remember to bin or not to bin! This is the question.
