Corporate Gifting...By Accident

We didn’t intend on getting into the branded merchandise industry...It just kind of happened. One day an enquiry landed on our lap. Before we knew it we were talking some pretty large quantities. And because our team have experience in procurement on a global level, we had a real head start.

A few months later we we're sourcing tens of thousands of branded merchandise items and promotional products for our clients. Not only that, but we were shipping to almost 100 locations at once. Fast forward three years and we now ship almost one million items each year from our warehouse in the North West of England to our corporate clients in both the UK & EU.

Why Branded Merchandise?

So why exactly should promo products or branded merchandise be a part of your marketing budget? 

Brand Visibility and Recognition

So, picture this: your company logo plastered across T-shirts, hats, and bags, popping up everywhere from events to social media feeds. That's the power of merchandise – advertising that keeps on giving, long after the initial investment. Whether you're at a trade show or just strolling down the street, having your brand on display no doubt boosts visibility and curiosity, along with helping to enhance brand recognition so people remember who you are.

Customer Loyalty and Engagement

Whether it's for something like your sustainability efforts or just because they love what you stand for, having merchandise allows customers to express their brand loyalty and support on their sleeve – literally. It's also a great way to engage with your current customers and the potential future ones. 

Marketing and Promotion

When it comes to marketing, having a stash of branded goodies is a no-brainer. Whether you're running a big campaign or just trying to get the word out, having merch adds credibility and having unique creative merchandise can make your brand stand out from the rest. Plus, who doesn't love free stuff? 

Even promotional gifts and branded giveaways are an option, giving away branded swag is a surefire way to get people talking about your brand and get the word spreading. 

Corporate Identity and Culture

It's not just about external branding – brand merchandise can also do wonders for your team spirit.

Revenue Generation

Not only does it bring in extra cash, but it also keeps your brand top of mind every time they use your merch. It's a win-win.

When do you need merch?

Promotional and branded products aren't essential, but here we'll highlight some of the key times when it's good to have and when we feel you could benefit the most from it.

Company milestones

Whether it's winning awards, launching a new campaign, or perhaps even a company anniversary. Merch on this occasion marks the event and recognises your team's achievement. Sure, a trophy is nice, but can you wear that around town, boasting about all those achievements and awards? I suppose you could but a T-shirt is more wearable we'd say...

Employee recognition

We're not talking about a uniform here, we're talking about something your employees will want to wear and be proud to show off. Nothing boring or soulless (unless of course, that's what you're going for) We pride ourselves on our creative flair and the ability to think outside of the box.
