Promotional chair shaped stress balls are great desktop gifts
Look around your desktop. What do you see? Most desks will have a couple of promotional coasters, a nice quality mouse mat, perhaps a mug and a framed picture or two. Often these gifts are given to people by your suppliers and will feature their logo and contact details. One of the most popular low cost gifts for the desktop are promotional stress balls.
I don’t mean the round balls that roll all over the place. I am talking about those that take on special shapes such as armchairs, cars, apples and soccer balls and hold mobile phones. Sitting at your desktop, they offer a nice, handy and safe place to put your cell phone.
One thing that is great about desktop stress balls is that they are not used in the same way as other stress toys. Sure, every now and then you will be tempted to pick them up and give them a squeeze. That is only natural. But usually they sit happily on the desktop holding a mobile phone.
Think about the marketing advantages you will have by giving such low cost useful gifts. Printing your logo and contact details onto inexpensive promotional phone holder stress toys will ensure your information is rarely out of site. These low cost gifts just keep promoting and they do it for a lot less money than more expensive executive gifts.
Last Christmas one of my customers contacted me wanting to purchase Santa shaped mobile phone holders. He was going to send them out with his Christmas cards to all of his clients.
Although I liked his seasonal idea, I convinced him to go with armchair shaped stress toys. Not that I don’t like Christmas themed stress balls, I do! But he was looking for a gift that would sit on his customers’ desktops and chances are the Santa phone holders would be removed in the New Year.
He took my advice and gave away the personalised armchairs. In fact his promotion went so well he wanted to do something again with promotional gifts.
In the New Year, he had some nice Lamy Pico promotional pens printed for his best customers. Lamy pens are gift pens that are usually presented in person. It was World Cup time so he also ordered a small quantity of football themed mouse mats to take around with his Lamy pens.
He was surprised to find that the majority of his customers still had the armchair stress relievers he had given them the year before. He gave them the new promotional mouse mats with his executive pens and loved how their desks looked like a big advertisement for his company by the time he left.
You can have fun promoting your brand with promotional stress balls and other promotional items too. These products work wonders for building brands.
