A branded shopping bag carried down a busy Australian shopping strip gets seen by somewhere between 5 and 10 people per outing, based on conservative estimates of foot traffic exposure. That sounds modest. Now multiply it across 1,000 bags handed...
Waterman has been making pens since 1884. That's 140 years of continuous production, which means the brand was selling writing instruments before Australia was even federated. Very few names survive that long in any industry, and in corporate gifting that...
The best promotional product you can buy is one that gets destroyed within a month. Sounds backwards, right? Marketers spend their whole budget chasing merch that "lasts", then hand out mints as an afterthought and wonder why nobody remembers them....
Depending on which HR estimate you read, replacing a single employee costs somewhere between half and two times their annual salary. Hold that number in your head, then look at the average staff gift budget. It's a rounding error. And...

This week's new arrivals are heavy on the humble pen, and we're not apologising for it. A branded pen is still one of the hardest-working items in promotional merchandise, it costs less than a coffee, and it hangs around desks...
Monday morning at a Melbourne hotel. The concierge team is wearing matching twilly scarves, navy with a gold logo repeat, knotted at the collar. Guests clock the branding before anyone opens their mouth. Meanwhile, across town, a conference organiser is...
Industry estimates put the number of cafes, restaurants and takeaway outlets in Australia at well over 50,000. That means the average diner in a capital city suburb can walk past three or four decent feeds before they reach your door....
