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?

Promote Your Farmer’s Market With Fruit And Vegetable Stress Toys

Monday, February 14th, 2011

The farmer’s market is one of the last cultural staples in modern times.

Today most people buy their produce at the supermarket, where it is rarely fresh and can be laden with pesticides and other chemicals. More and more people are starting to embrace the farmer’s market as not only a shopping experience but a social event, as well as one of the first steps to a healthy diet.

If you own or operate a farmer’s market you want as many people at your events as possible, and one of the best ways to ensure that people keep your event in mind is the promotional gift of stress toys in shapes of fruits and vegetables.

Promotional stress balls can be made to resemble virtually any object and there are many standard fruit and vegetable shapes that these fantastic promotional items come in.

With promotional stress toys you will be handing out an advertisement that will be kept and used for a relatively long time. When people get these squishy promotional products in their hands, they tend to hold on to them and not let go, making a long-lasting impression. Some examples:

Fruit Shaped Promotional Stress Toys

Banana- One of the most popular tropical fruits in the world, the banana is rich in potassium which is vital to the human body. It also has a nice-sized printing area.

Apple- “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” was a phrase coined in Wales during the 19th century, and it holds true today. Apples are rich in antioxidants and the outer skin is a very beneficial fiber. A promotional stress ball in the the shape of an apple is a tasteful way to keep your brand in the mind of its recipient.

Orange- A juice staple or eaten raw by itself, oranges are rich in vitamin c and is one of the most fragrant of all fruits. A promotional stress reliever in the shape of an orange is likely to remind its user of the citrus smell.

Tomato- You will probably be aware that many people think the tomato as a vegetable, but the anti-oxidant rich tomato is technically a fruit. Like the apple and orange, the spherical shape lends itself to a good sized printing area which makes it an excellent choice for a promotional stress reliever.

Vegetable Shaped Promotional Stress Toys

Lettuce- The slicing of a head of lettuce is often used in visuals to imply freshness. Everyone needs to eat their leafy greens, and a promotional stress toy in this shape will always serve as a reminder of that.

Cauliflower- Whether is is boiled, fried or eaten raw, the versatile cauliflower is among the most nutritious and high-fiber vegetable available. Cauliflowers can be white, orange or purple, just as your cauliflower promotional stress toys can be.

Garlic- Garlic has been used as a healing agent for centuries, and for good reason- this aromatic vegetable packs one of the highest levels of antioxidants available in nature.

Bell Pepper- Like the cauliflower, bell peppers come in different colors- red, green, yellow and orange. Technically a fruit, it was mistakenly given the name ‘pepper’ by Christopher Columbus when he returned with it from the new world.

Stress toys have shown to be one of the best promotional items in recent years due to the fact that, unlike many promotional gifts, they are not throwaway items.

What this means for you is that when you hand someone a promotional stress ball they are not likely to toss it out like they would a cheap keychain or biro. Most people will hold on to their promotional stressballs for months if not years, where they will serve as a reminder of your farmer’s market event and keep them coming back.

To learn more about what options you have for promoting your farmers market, check out the massive range of stress product available at trade prices online.

Promotional Turkey Shaped Stress Balls for Colourful Promotions

Saturday, November 27th, 2010
Turkey Stress Balls

Promotional turkey stress balls are popular year round!

As I write this article, it is the American holiday Thanksgiving. I only know this because I am an American living in the UK and I must have had about ten phone calls already today rubbing it in. I am working and they are eating but at least it has giving me a topic for today’s promotional stress ball article.

My company supplies promotional stress balls worldwide and many of the orders in the past couple of months have been for turkey shaped stress toys. All have been from American companies either in the US or in other countries. None have been from British companies.

Or at least not recently.

Turkey just is not eaten in the UK as much as it is in the US but it is still the must have bird for Christmas. WIthin the next few weeks the shops and butchers will be stocked with Christmas turkeys of all sizes.

If history repeats itself, the orders for turkey shaped stress relievers will increase as well. Often, however, the ordering of these fun stress toys is left a little late.

If you want the lowest prices and best quality stress toys, you need to allow at least three to four weeks.

Animal shaped stress relievers are some of the most popular shapes around. Many businesses like to take advantage of the fact that promotional stress balls can be manufactured to order in their company colours. But only if there is time!

If your logo colours are purple and yellow, for example, you could have purple turkey stress relievers manufactured with yellow beak and trim. Animals in colours other than are expected have a way of catching people’s attention. You can literally choose the Pantone colours of every part of the stress turkey!

You can also have your turkey shaped stress toys printed with a single colour logo, multi coloured logo or even a full colour logo. Stress ball printing has improved a lot in the past few years and the full colour prints look amazingly bright and clear.

Always ask for samples of the stress toys that are of interest to you. Most stress balls on the market for promotional uses are quite good quality but some are pretty bad. Checking out the past jobs of promotional stress toy suppliers will help ensure you get the best quality stress toys for your money.

So what are you waiting for? Turkey stress balls are excellent low cost promotional give-aways that will get your brand noticed.

Promoting Your Business with Perfectly Round Stress Ball Eggs

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Anyone who read the UK papers yesterday will most likely have seen an article about a perfectly round egg. Hotel chef James Church from Cornwall was preparing breakfast when he discovered a perfectly spherical egg. Realising he had something just a bit different he decided to keep it. It now turns out that only one in every one billion eggs are perfectly round!

This got me to thinking.

Promotional stress ball eggs have always been one of the best selling promotional stress shapes. They are often used to promote restaurants and farm shops but more often than not we are asked for golden eggs.

People love golden egg stress balls because they set their business apart. They can be the golden egg in their industry – the company that is as good as gold and different from the rest.

Real golden eggs don’t exist, however. Yes, I am sure there will be plenty of very expensive real gold jewellery eggs out there but not real eggs. The new found fame of the perfectly round egg offers huge potential for businesses wanting to promote themselves.

Is your company one in a billion? Are you better than the competition? Is you business a round egg?

Of all the shapes available for promotion your brand, simple round stress toys are by far the best sellers. They are not industry specific. They offer a nice large print area for your logo and details and now they have become so much more than just a round ball.

Promote your business or organisation on a standard size 70mm sphere stress toy or go for a more authentic 55mm round egg size. The 55mm small round stress balls have never been as big of a seller as the 70mm ball but that could change now.

So now it’s up to you. The idea is there and the round egg actually does exist! How can you promote your business using this newly discovered round egg?

Why not decorate you next trade show stand with a thousand normal low cost stress eggs and a lower number of round eggs. The normal stress egg shapes could be available to everyone who visits your stand but the round eggs could be printed with a special discount code or offer.

Give the round eggs to those customer and target customers you want to impress. They will love the free gift and they will also want to take you up on your special offer.

Promotional stress toys can be manufactured in the Pantone colours of your choice. It is also possible to print them in full colour which offers your the chance to order stress eggs that match your corporate identity magnificently.

Promotional Stress Balls-5 Ways Horse-Shaped Stress Balls Are Used

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
horse stress balls

Horse shaped stress balls at trade prices. You can get them here!

Someone once said, “A dog may be man’s best friend, but the horse wrote history.” Man owes the horse a great debt of gratitude. Great countries were developed on the backs of these magnificent animals. Horses have always had and always will have a prominent role in man’s developing story.

What better animal totem to use then in promoting your business? Some of the characteristics we associate with horses include stamina, hard work, and perseverance not to mention loyalty, common sense, and teamwork. It is natural for savvy businessmen to use the horse as an effective marketing symbol.

You may ask yourself what are some ways that I can use the horse symbol to grow my company brand? One very effective marketing tool that is used by many successful companies is the promotional gift, and one of the most popular and affordable promotional gifts available today is the promotional stress ball. Promotional stress balls come in any color, can be made into any shape, including horses, and are excellent conversation starters.

Horse-shaped stress balls can be used in the following ways to help grow your business:

• Handing out custom-designed stress balls that include your company logo information to new clients is a step above simply handing out a business card. It is something they can take back to their office and proudly display on their desk.

• Trade shows are a great place to hand out these stress balls. If you own a business that is associated with the horse industry such as saddle manufacturers, equestrian products, trainers and breeders, this is the perfect promotional tool to give to anyone who stops by your booth.

• The horse-shaped stress ball makes a perfect thank you gift to valued customers of all kinds of horse-related businesses including large animal clinics, boarding services, and riding schools.

• Promote your dude ranch by supplying your travel agent with horse-shaped stress balls to give as a token of appreciation for booking their vacation with you.

• Race track gift shops are an ideal place to sell horse-shaped stress ball souvenirs with the name of the racetrack and logo on the side.

No matter if your business is directly related to the horse industry or one that you just want to associate with the fine characteristics of a horse, using the horse-shaped promotional stress balls just makes good sense.

They are also the perfect promotional items to introduce yourself to prospective clients either in person, at trade shows, or via the mail.

Services and products that can be promoted with cow shapes are not limited to dairy farm and ice cream shop products. Of course, establishments dealing with animals on a daily basis such as veterinarian offices, pet stores, and save-the-animal organizations can offer these unique promotional gifts. Steak houses, pizza joints, pancake houses, and candy shops can utilize cow shaped promotional stress balls to advertise their business and products for sale such as steak sauces, pancake mixes, specialty candy, fudge, and cookies.

Children’s merchandise such as clothing and bedding are also products that can be promoted with cow shapes such as baby calves. Remember the nursery rhyme about the cow jumping over the moon? Promotional stress toys can market airlines, rental cars, and even u haul companies. Cow shaped promotional stress balls can be given to children over the age of three to occupy them during their flight or moving process while marketing services and products to their parents.

Any business that sells leather products as well as the animal rights organisations that are against leather can use these shapes.Exercise equipment are products that can be promoted with cow shapes.

Cows eat grass so what better products that can be promoted with cow shapes than items for the lawn and garden. Items such as mowers, tools, seed spreaders, weed whips, and garden gloves can be advertised to the consumer. Believe me it is done often and with great success.

Lightweight promotional stress balls are very affordable when purchased in bulk. They are easy to transport to visits to homes, businesses, or just to keep in the car for whenever the need arises. If you have products that can be promoted with cow shapes, why not take a chance on this simple marketing technique? You’ll soon thank yourself once you witness the success that you dreamed about!

Promotional Buffalo Stress Balls – Check Out This Success Story

Saturday, September 4th, 2010
Buffalo stress balls

The buffalo stress ball by stressballs.co.uk!

Buffalo products like top quality buffalo mozzarella, milk and meat are all the rage at the moment. The meat, for those of you who haven’t tried it is very similar to beef but not as fatty. The mozzarella is the best available.

Not far from where I live is a buffalo farm. There aren’t many in England so most buffalo products have to be imported from Europe.

The owners of my local family run buffalo farm sell their buffalo products at five farmers’ markets every week. This is where they sell the majority of their goods but they also have a small farm shop on their farm that they are trying to promote.

One of the owners, Ben, phoned me recently looking for promotional merchandise to promote his farm shop. He wanted to find a product or two that would get people interested in driving into the country to purchase from his farm shop.

I immediately thought about the buffalo stress balls that are a real niche shape. They are rarely requested like other shapes. I sent him a couple of printed samples in the post and he loved the idea.

Ben did not have a logo for his business so I had our designer draw up a few logos, one of which he loved. We then had 500 buffalo stress balls manufactured and printed with the new logo and his web address. We also supplied 25 polo shirts for him and his staff to wear at the shop and at the markets. They too were personalised with the new logo.

They started handing out the buffalo stress toys to people who visited their market stall. While handing over the free gift they promoted the benefits of visiting their shops such as all the extras they could not feature on their market stall. Products such as fresh vegetables, local beers, freshly baked bread, seasonings and spices.

To date my customer has gone through 2000 buffalo shaped stress toys and they have just ordered another thousand. They have also started selling aprons, caps and polo shirts like those they wear themselves at the shop. People like to purchase products with the logo of places they like to shop.

The shop’s trade has increased substantially. In fact Ben is now considering adding on to the shop. Most of their customers from the market have made their way out to Ben’s shop and brought friends with them.

Did you know that promotional stress toys are available in almost every animal shape imaginable? Even if the shape you want is not, it can easily be customer made. What animal shaped stress reliever would you like to see a sample of to promote your business? Feel free to share your ideas, thoughts or experiences here by leaving a comment.

Promotional Pig Shaped Stress Balls-One of the Best Restaurant Promotions Ever

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I stem from California originally and have quite a few customers from the US. I may supply promotional stress balls primarily to the UK but stressballs can be manufactured and easily shipped anywhere in the world for about the same price. You can have stress toys sent directly from the factory to your door!

So when I received an email from a well known ribs restaurant near my home town of Turlock, California, I jumped at the chance to quote for the job.

The restaurant owner, a very big, round man who called himself Boss Hogg after the famous Dukes of Hazard series, wanted to promote his restaurant with promotional pig shaped stress balls.

He had two reasons for doing this. First, he was famous for his pork ribs and pork chops. Second, he wanted to give people a fun incentive to order his biggest and most expensive meal that consisted of two racks of ribs with all the slightly fattening fixings.

His first order was for 1000 stress pigs which he made sure were always in view. They were on shelves behind the bar. A few were on sale next to t-shirts and caps behind a glass cabinet. Everywhere you looked in the popular eatery you saw these little squishy pigs!

On the backs of the pigs that were for sale he had his logo printed. All of the other pigs included his logo and the text ‘I ate two racks of ribs at Sammy’s!’

Anyone who ordered his two rack signature dish received a free stress ball pig as a prize. You would not believe the amazing results.

Sales for his signature rib lovers meal skyrocketed. People who normally just went for the one rack meal were suddenly challenging themselves to eat one heck of a lot more. Children and adults were all to be seen stuffing themselves with gigantic portions of pork.

My customers restaurant is now just as famous for the food as it is for the stress toys. He has purchased thousands more over the years and given them away all most as fast as he orders them. That is brand building at its best!

Now then…

I think my next article will be about heart shaped stress balls and how they can help promote a more healthy lifestyle which will prevent heart disease! What do you think?
