Industry Shaped Stress Balls – Build That Brand

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Promotional stress balls help place pictures in people’s minds about who you are and what your company does. Few other promotional products are able to do this in such a memorable and fun way.

Think about it… a good quality promotional pen printed with your logo and details can say great things about your business – but if you are a plumber, a stress balls toilet or sink will let them know immediately who you are and what you do.

Promotional stress balls are available in thousands of different shapes. The industry themed stress toys are ideal for any company in the building or maintenance trade. Following are a few ideas by job type.

Heavy Construction Shapes

There are many shapes but some of the most popular are the crane, cement truck, bulldozer, digger and hard hat. Be sure to look at all the heavy construction shapes to ensure you get the best shape for your business.

DIY Shapes

Let’s see… How about the hammer, screwdriver, brick, wrench, paint brush and nut & bolt just to start. Again there are many. Even if you do not find the shape you are looking for, you can always have it manufactured to order. You may be interested in knowing that the most popular shape for ‘fix it’ companies is the white van.

Carpentry Shapes

Of course the before mentioned shapes could all be used by construction firms. There are also many house and building shapes that make people think of home. Shapes like a dog, fireplace, stairway and sofa have all been used successfully by home construction firms

Electricians

How about the lightbulb shape of which there are many? You may also be interested in the lightning bolt or any of the many electrical appliance shapes such as the oven, tv and batteries.

Plumbers

Take a look at the toilet and bath shapes. You could also be interested in the dishwasher and wrench shapes. There are many so have fun looking.

All promotional stress toys can be manufactured to order. You can choose the Pantone colours they are manufactured in and how they are printed. Some people prefer simple spot colour logo printing where others want a full colour design printed all over the surface.

This is all possible. By adding a bit of your business to the stock shapes such as special colours, you can create a business gift that gets you noticed and compliments your corporate branding magnificently!

Promotional Toilet Stress Balls to Promote World Toilet Day

Friday, November 19th, 2010
Promotional toilet stress balls

Promotional toilet stress balls can be manufactured to order.

You could be forgiven for not realising that today is World Toilet Day. That’s right, the 19th of November has been designated World Toilet Day. I did not realise this until one of my clients purchased 5000 toilet shaped stress balls a few weeks ago to promote it.

This was a new one for me. You see, I am used to selling toilet shaped stress relievers to plumbers, builders and imaginative marketers who simply like the idea of promoting their brand with a small squishy toilet.

Toilets stress toys are eye-catching and can look fantastic manufactured in your company colours or printed with a full colour design.

Regardless of how silly it may sound, World Toilet Day highlights some very serious issues.

It is the day we are all supposed to celebrate the importance of sanitation. World Toilet Day highlights the important point that 2.6 billion people – that is almost have the world’s population – do not have access to toilets and proper sanitation.

That is mind boggling! Living in a country village in the UK I had no idea that half the world’s people do not even have a toilet! But that was the information I was asked to print on these 5000 toilet stress toys.

This is what promotional products such as stress relievers, pens, mouse mats and clothing are made to do. They are manufactured and printed to help your business or organisation get your message out to your target audience.

In the case of these printed toilets, they did just that.

I see a lot of promotional merchandise being printed daily. I read a lot of the messages and some of the printed messages stick where other simply do not.

The toilet job left our doors about two weeks ago but today when I woke up and looked at the date on my calendar I knew it was World Toilet Day. I think I will always know the 19th of November is World Toilet day and perhaps after reading this you will too.

If so, then you may like to get more information about the issues this day highlights. You may even decide to help the cause by having some toilet shaped stress toys printed for your business or organisation.

Have a quantity printed with your logo and something about World Toilet Dan and help spread the word to your customers, friends and employees.

What an excellent way to promote a good cause.

The Many Uses of Construction Themed Promotional Stress Balls

Monday, September 6th, 2010

You will find all of the popular construction stress shapes at stressballs.co.uk

Promotional stress balls are available in many construction themed shapes. This will become obvious after a couple minutes of looking. If you are searching for promotional items to promote any part of the construction industry you will be spoilt for choice!

If you supply, use or preform another service with heavy vehicles such as cranes, dump trucks or excavators you will find plenty of popular shapes to promote your business. As the sides are generally quite flat you will have a lot of nice print areas to print your logo and contact details.

Those involved in the later stages of construction will find hammers, screwdrivers, hard hats and tool boxes just to name a few of the many stress ball shapes. Incidentally the hard hat stress ball shape is popular in many other industries wishing to promote safety issues.

There are also many house shaped stress balls and other building shaped stress toys to choose from. If this is of interest to you, you will be happy to learn that there are modern house shaped stress relievers, cottage shapes and even sky scraper shapes.

Many of these house and skyscraper shapes are used to promote other types of businesses such as investment firms and holiday homes. The biggest users are home and commercial estate agents.

Promotional stressballs can be manufactured to order. If you have heavy equipment that is unique or an office building that people know you for, why not have custom shapes designed to promote these special shapes that represent your business. There is usually a 1000 item minimum order but the result will be a stress shape that promote your business like no other existing stressball shape can.

This next bit is important so pay close attention. If you purchase from most promotional gift suppliers you will usually be paying too much. Look for promotional merchandise suppliesr that specialise in promotional stress relievers.

Usually these companies will import their own stock and offer a much better personalised service. If your supplier imports their stressballs they will often be up to 50% less expensive than the competition. Look for promotional stress ball suppliers that have websites dedicated to stress relievers. Then compare prices and ask for samples.

Oil Drum Shaped Promotional Stress Balls-Who Can Benefit From Using Them?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
oil drum stress balls

Check our our high quality stress balls by asking for a sample today.

Refining crude oil is a complex operation that is responsible for creating the building blocks of almost every product we use in our daily lives.

Different types of crude oil are refined in different ways and the resulting products and bi-products are not just limited to the automotive industry as many people falsely believe.

I only know this because I have sold promotional oil drum stress balls to companies specialising in everything from grease lubricants to wax candles to cosmetics. You name it, if it is a physical manufactured product, chances are refining crude oil has played a part in its construction.

It is therefore little wonder that promotional oil drum stress balls are so popular.

Promotional oil drum stress toys can be manufactured to order in your company colours. Pantone matched colours could give your promotion that extra boost it need to really stand out. There are not many promotional products that can be manufactured to order in perfectly Pantone matched colours.

If these fun squeeze shapes are of interest to you, look for online suppliers that specialise in promotional stress toys. Your supplier should be an importer of these Chinese manufactured promotional products and not just a middleman.

Purchasing direct from the importer could save you up to 50% so it is important you find the right source.

Oil drum stress relievers offer quite a few different print areas for your logo and message. In fact I recommend you use as many of the print areas as possible as the end result looks fantastic.

Think about the way in which your products are produced. Do they include a crude oil product? If you are not sure, type your product into Google along with the words crude and oil and see what comes up. You could find a whole new way to promote your products to your customers just as many other marketers have.

Promotional stress relievers are easily sent in the post without fear of breakage. They also look great on exhibition stands and decorating displays at conferences. The oil drum shape has the added bonus of having two flat sides. This makes them perfect desktop gifts that could sit happily on your customers’ desktops for many years promoting your brand.

I hope I have given you a few ideas for you next promotion. Try to think of a way you can work these fun desktop gifts into your marketing. While you are thinking about it, why not order a sample or two and see first hand how addictive the stress products are to squeeze.

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Perhaps your company wears many hats depending on the time of year or customers you are dealing with.  One good way of promoting your different personas is through hat shaped stress balls.  There are many different shaped stress ball hats but the following five seem to be asked for more than the rest.  You are not, however, limited only to the stressball hats that are already available, you can also have a custom shape designed specially for your company.

Soldier stress balls

The new soldier shape stress ball

The Army Helmut: This new shape is already prooving to be a real winner.  We would be happy to send you a sample of this truly fun shape.  We can manufacture it in your company colours.

The Mortar Board (graduation cap): These popular shapes are used often by training companies, businesses with in house training schemes, language and tech schools and of course universities and colleges.  The standard size 70mm x 70mm x 52mm fits perfectly into the average adult sized hand.  Normally these are supplied in black but if you have a few weeks before they are required, you can have them any colour you like.

The very popular hard hat stress ball shape

The Hard Hat:  Hardhats are perfect for promoting construction firms but they are equally as popular with outdoor activity companies and safety businesses.  You may have seen the standard shapes before which measure in at 85mm c 73mm x 45mm and are available in stock in white, yellow, silver and gold.

Motorcycle Helmut: These shapes which are 80mm x 65mm x 60mm are often seen in online and printed publications as gifts.  They are used to promote motor sports and the industries that supply related companies.  They have also been successfully used in motorcycles safety campaigns around the world and to promote go-cart businesses.

Top Hat: This is an exceptionally popular shape with charities that are holding black tie fund raising evenings.  Often they go out with invitations to investors or are used as table gifts.  Often they are ordered by wedding planners along with the other popular wedding shapes the bride and the groom.

I always recommend transfer printing stressballs.  This is the highest quality print available and many suppliers do not provide this service. We do! Please do not hesitate to ask to see samples of any of the products mentioned in my blogs.  I also welcome any comments and hope to hear from you.
