At a recent job seekers convention at the NEC, Jimmy realised he needed to set himself apart from the crowd. He had started his business over 20 years earlier and now had branches in London, Sheffield and Leeds. He looked around at the other hair stylists promoting their companies to young job seekers and was impressed by how so many of them promoted their brands.

Brand promotion is one thing Jimmy had never worked on much. He couldn’t as his hair dressing salons took up all of his time. But the competition was doing it and doing it well.

There was Greg who was wearing an embroidered shirt with his logo and Steve who was handing out promotional pens with his logo and details. Then there was Sue who really caught his eye. She was handing out out promotional stress balls in the shape of turtles.

Turtle and hair solons? What could the connection be?

Jimmy moved closer and saw that she had had a logo designed with a blue turtle in it. The logo looked good and was certainly attention grabbing. Promotional stress balls certainly looked like a fun way to promote and Jimmy wanted to get started.

Sue was very happy to help Jimmy and suggested he try something a little different.

‘Promotional stress balls in the shape of dolphins!’ Jimmy exclaimed! ‘That’s it. I’ve always loved dolphins.’

Sue smiled and suggested Jimmy try something like having dolphin stress balls manufactured in his corporate colour.

‘You mean orange?’ Jimmy asked. ‘Can you do that?’

Sue handed Jimmy one of the blue turtles she had had manufactured and they looked fantastic.

Dolphin promotional stress balls, or any promotional stress balls for that matter can be manufactured in the colours of your choice. They can even be printed in full colour or spot colour.

Whatever shape you think will help you promote your brand, there is most likely already a stress ball in that shape.

In the end, Jimmy decided to go with a bulk standard dolphin shape. He was excited and therefore in a hurry and just wanted to start promoting as quickly as possible.

He contacted us and as always, we had plenty of dolphin shaped promotional stress balls in stock and were able to express print them in time for the end of the conference.

Now that is fast!

Doogle was a cowboy living a long way from his childhood home in Colorado. He’d been living in London upstairs from the pub where he worked and conditions were crowded to say the least.

He lived with seven other employees, all of whom worked different shifts. He decided he needed to move out.

Walking down the Finchley High Street, a poster of a frog caught his eye. It was in an estate agent’s window with the slogan – “We will help you find the right pad.”

He approached the window and saw that it had been decorated with hundreds of promotional frog stress balls. He went in.

One of the salesmen in the office that day – Tom – also happened to be one of the people behind the frog idea. The small estate agency business was a family run business.  They needed all the promotional help they could get to set them apart from their larger competitors.

Doogle sat down at Tom’s desk and told him what kind of pad he was looking for. After a few minutes the two men realised they had both said the word ‘pad’ about seven times in as many minutes.

Doogle laughed and Tom did too while thinking that his advertising was obviously working.

Tom made a few phone calls and scheduled viewings for Doogle. He then drew up a map for him so he could find the ‘pads’ easily.

As the two men parted, Tom handed Doogle two promotional frog stress balls.

“This one is call Little Tom.” He said, smiling. “And do you know what this one is called?”

“Uhhh… Is it Little Doogle?” He replied. His heart was pounding.

“No. It’s Little Caroline. But you can of course call it Little Doogle if you like.”

Doogle felt a bit embarrassed as his face turned a bright glowing red.

“No – Little Caroline will be fine”. Replied Doogle.  Thank you for the promotional frog stress balls Tom.”

“You’re very welcome Doogle.”

Doogle left and found one of the flats to be exactly to his liking. He was very happy.

Tom got on the phone to his promotional gifts supplier and thanked her for recommending the promotional frog stress balls.

“Your recommendation, Caroline is sure to spawn more lettings and sales in these difficult times. Thank you so much for recommending promotional frog stress balls!”

Promotional Guitar Stress Balls Made Billy A Happy Man

November 11th, 2011

Billy's second order for promotional guitar stress balls

If you are really interested in promotional guitar stress balls, you should just click here and skip this nonsensical post!

Billy was finding it difficult to promote his CB radio business. No one was purchasing his in car two-way radios. He knew this was primarily down to the invention of mobile phones and the fact that it’s illegal to speak on CBs while driving.

It was clear he needed to do something or his business would almost certainly fail. He looked up at his wall and focussed on a poster of Angus Young – the guitar god from AC/DC and screamed “What am I going to do Angus? Help me!”

Just then, the room filled of smoke – which was unusual – and in walked a man carrying a suitcase dressed as a snowman.

“Are you Billy? The snowman asked.

“Uh yes.” Billy answered looking at the kettle and wondering if he should offer his visitor a cup of tea.

“I’ve brought you these.”

The snowman opened his suitcase which was full of promotional guitar stress balls. They were white and brown, squishy and nice.

“What are those?” Bill asked in amazement.

“They’re promotional guitar stress balls and they’re for you!”

“Wow!” Billy walked forward and picked one up. “For me? That’s so nice of you but what am I to do with them?”

The snowman sat down on a chair near the window and sighed.

“Billy – you’ve got a great place here. It’s been your family business for two generations but the time has come for a change. You’ve got to think of something else you can do from this shop. When you do, we’ll have these promotional guitar stress balls printed with your business name and contact details. Your new business is going to rock!”

Deep down Billy knew the snowman was right. He looked at Angus and then at the snowman and then back at Angus.

“I know Mr Snowman – I’m going to sell these promotional guitar stress balls to a company that can really use them like a music shop or and radio station.

“Keep the ideas coming baby!” The snowman jumped to his feet.

“And… and I’m not going to stop there! I’m going to sell other things that can be printed with a company’s logo.”

“You’re on the right track now Billy. Promotional merchandise has been proven to promote better and longer than most other types of advertising.”

Billy interrupted. “I’m going to sell promotional gifts like clocks, mouse mats, mugs and promotional stress balls and I’m going to do it online so that they cost less than the same products supplied by more top heavy business gift suppliers!”

“I think you’ve caught the potato and it’s still very hot in your hands.” The snowman smiled. “Good luck my friend. I’m leaving the rest to you. I’m not needed here anymore.

The snowman walked out of the shop and was soon gone out of site.

Billy looked again at the poster of Angus. “Thank you mate! I won’t let you down.”

Some of the names in this article have been made up but the story is true.

Promotional Cow Stress Balls Can Be Used To Scare Angry Cows

You might be surprised to hear how many different types of companies use promotional cow stress balls in their marketing. I think it’s because they can be made so easily to really promote your business in a big way.

Cows are after all big creatures. I know because ten of them chased my family and me last week while we were minding our own business on a country walk.

The funny thing was, I actually had a few promotional cow stress balls in my jacket. I don’t know why, I just did.

I quickly took one out and threw it at the most angry of the cows. The spitting beast stopped and the other cows circled around.

They just stood there looking at us as if they wanted to kill us or something.

Promotional printed cow stress balls

Print some of these with your logo!

I carefully removed another cow stress toy from my pocket and signaled at my family to run. Then, I threw it once again at the lead cow and caught it right in the nose. They backed off and we ran.

Usually, however, promotional cow stress balls are used for other purposes such as – well promoting business or organisations.

I guess this kind of makes sense but I did want you to know that they are a good thing to have with you the next time you find yourself in a field of pissed off cattle.

When purchasing your promotional cow stress balls don’t rush it. I think that is the best advice I can give you. Allow at least three weeks and we can make them to order for you. You can choose the colour of the body and spots. This really help build brands in a fun and memorable way.

The stress ball cows I threw at the trouble seeking cow’s nose looked like the one in the picture with the green spots.

Now that you’re leaning toward using these fun and squishy toys, I would like to answer some of the FAQs that are posted on this blog. If your question isn’t answered, be sure to leave a comment.

Where can I print on these little promotional cow stress balls?

You can print anywhere you like. Obviously the best place to print is where the space is the largest and easiest to see. That is the back. That said, we have printed everywhere you could imagine including the bottom of the feet.

Why do you take time to write about promotional stress ball cows?

They’re my life. I love promotional stress balls. My house is furnished with them. I think you and your customers will grow to love them too.

Do you do a bull shape so the cows aren’t lonely?

Sure do! In fact the bull is almost as popular as the cow.

Have you ever used promotional stress balls in your marketing? How might these cows be used?

Soldier Shaped Promotional Stress Balls- Wage War With The Competition

September 15th, 2011

 

Soldier shaped promotional stress balls

Attract attention to your brand with promotional stress balls

To skip this article and go directly to our military stress balls section, please click here.

 

Soldier shaped promotional stress balls are somewhat new to our range but boy are they kicking butt!

 

Over the years we have supplied our fair share of military themed promotional stress balls.  There are just so many different messages that can be printed on them.  Swap the standard green or brown camaflauge with your own company colours and you have a low cost promotional gift that is sure to attract attention. You could also ask us to make promotional stress balls in your own special shape.

 

Such was the case when we received an enquiry from a customer who had to have soldier shaped stress balls.

 

Alex loved the idea of promoting his business with military shaped promotional stress balls. That said, he didn’t want a shape that could be purchased by just anyone. He loved the tank shape and our new submarine shape but he had his heart set on his own soldier shaped stress balls.

 

‘I want to rage war on the competition!’ He said jokingly. Actually we knew he wasn’t joking at all. He wanted eye-catching promotional gifts that were top quality, low cost and all his.

 

We went to work designing a soldier shape stress toy for him. We could do this for you too. He wanted his soldier to be in a ball shape so that people could squeeze it like a standard stress toy (see picture above).

 

Anyway, since his initial order for 1000, Alex has purchased a further 5000 and allowed us to supply his special shape to other businesses as long as the facial features are different. Thanks Alex!

 

Alex loves how the soldier stress toys attract people to his trade show stands and has even followed this idea up with promotional highlighters, t-shirts and promotional notebooks that are printed with a picture of the soldier stress ball.

 

‘The stress toy soldier has become our new mascot.’ He told me. Our customers know us now for the little soldier stress balls. Our competitors have nothing close and that makes it all the more fun to hand them out.

 

When ordering promotional stress balls, why not do as Alex did and make them all your own. This can be done through having us design a new shape for you or simply taking an existing shape and having it manufactured to order in the fun colours of your choice.

 

We work directly with the best manufactures of stress products to ensure you get the lowest prices and the best quality stress balls on the market.

What’s Wrong With This Picture Of Promotional Star Shaped Stress Balls?

August 23rd, 2011

 

Promotional star shaped stress balls

These promotional products get results!

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this picture if your logo happens to appear on the promotional star shaped stress balls here!

Companies that are using promotional star shaped stress balls to promote their products and services have learned just how affordable and useful these promotional products can be. They offer a nice large print area for your logo and details and they just happen to cost less than most other shapes.

The reason for their lower cost is in their size. You see, when we bring in a shipment of promotional stress balls, the expense is not in their weight as they are foam and don’t weigh very much.

The more we can fit into the standard box size for shipping, the less they cost to import from the Far East factories that produce them.

Promotional star shaped stress balls fit tightly together and they are not very big which means we can fit more in a box and the unit price therefore goes way down.

Over the years, we at stressballs.co.uk have seen the popularity of small promotional star shaped stress balls really take off. The shape fits easily into the hand and keeps your logo and details right where you want them… in front of your customers.

What’s more, it’s done in a fun and memorable way!

Should you decide to give this popular stress shape a go, you might also be interested to learn that we can manufacture them in your corporate pantone colour. To finish the personalization, we then print the star stress balls with the transfer print which is the best print available for stress balls.

We deal directly with the best promotional stress toy suppliers in the Far East and have done for many years. We know that we offer the best quality stress products on the market and we do it all at trade prices. We can do this because we cut out the middleman and ship your stress balls directly from the factory to you.

There are so many different shapes to choose from but think for a minute about what these star shapes have to offer. Here are a few popular straplines that have been used over the years;

  • You are a star with (Your company logo here)
  • We will treat you like a star!
  • There’s no need to wish upon a star with (Your logo here). We get the job done!
  • We’ll always give you the star treatment!

 

I think you get the idea.

If you are looking for a low cost way to promote your business with promotional products that are made specially for you, why not give promotional star shaped stress balls a try!

 

What I Learned About Badgers From a Customer Who Ordered Badger Shaped Stress Balls

May 4th, 2011
Badger Stress Balls

Made to order badger stress balls

Up until a few weeks ago, I could safely say that I hadn’t thought about badgers for years if ever. Badgers just were not part of my life. Chances are, they aren’t a big part of your life either.

Those who know me will know that a large part of my business life is spent in the manufacture of made to order promotional stress balls. It is in this position that I have been enlightened to many different subjects by people who are passionate about them. One recent customer decided to have 15000 promotional badger stress balls manufactured to highlight the badgers plight and what each of us can do to help them.

Drawing attention to different causes is indeed what made to order stress balls do best. They are tangible products that can be printed very clearly with important messages and be made in the same shape as the subject.

Having looked at my customer’s website which was prominently printed on the stress badgers’ backs, I learned a great deal of concerning things about an animal that lives in the fields around my own home.

Have you ever heard of badger baiting?

Badger baiting is a gruesome ‘sport’ where dogs and badgers are pitted against each other. Bets are placed at which dog will get bitten first or which dog will kill the badger.

Badgers have the fiercest bite of any animal of their size. Often, their tail and feet will be nailed to the floor to even up the odds. In the ensuing fights, the badger usually ends up dead and the dogs finish with horrific injuries.

Are there any dog lovers out there? The dogs are usually not taken to a vet for their injuries as the owners do not want the veterinarian to ask questions. The dogs are left to suffer with their wounds until they are again fit enough to fight another day.

The website also mentions the people who are involved in badger baiting. As I’m sure you can imagine, they are not the most pleasant people. As I walk a lot on the trails around my home, the information was definitely worth noting.

The site recommends that if you see people acting suspiciously around badger holes (refereed to as badger setts) you should not engage with them. Take down any information such as what the people look like, whether they have dogs with them, car licence number information etc.

Call the police with your information.

If you must, say hello or good afternoon but try to avoid conversation. Remember, these people are breaking the law. Many hikers have been threatened with shovels, knives and even dogs for simply trying to be friendly and not realising who they were encountering.

The badger shaped stress balls we had manufactured did exactly what they are meant to do. They highlighted an important message. Do you have an important message you think could be better communicated with a special shaped stress ball?
