Vivid Promotions Introduces Promotional Akubra Hats!

Wednesday 1st September, 2010

Vivid Promotions has recently launched a new Promotional Line, Promotional Akubra Hats! Promotional Akubra Hats are currently rated at UPF 50+ which is the highest classification achievable under this system. This confirms the long held belief that Akubra Hats provide excellent protection from the sun for those who are outdoors, either at work or at leisure. Vivid Promos have a wide selection of Promotional Akubra Hats in Fur Felt and Straw Hat Styles to suit all wearers, and to suit all occasions, from Western and Country shapes through to casual and formal fashion hats. Australia’s favourite Akubra, The Cattleman, is in a style of the traditional Australian stockmen, with a pinched crown and broad dipping brim with eyelet vents. The Croc Hat features a genuine crocodile band with crocodile teeth and satin lining.  The Punter Hat features a 38mm fancy ribbon band and bow made and also features a buckram inside band. Promotional Akubra Hats are able to be branded in 4 different ways. Using the latest laser technology, we can now re-create your logo with the look of a genuine hot branded image - directly onto a Promotional Akubra fur-felt hat of your choice. This in-house process produces a burnt-in, tone on tone, 3D image with extremely high precision and fine detail reproduction, creating a logo that is both subtle and complementary to our Promotional Akubra image - effectively allowing your Brand to "piggy-back" on our uniquely Australian profile. Short production runs -a minimum of just 10 hats, quick turn-around, and great value for money are just a few of the outstanding benefits of purchasing your Branded Akubra Hats. For sufficient contrast, a burnt- in image is suitable only for Promotional Akubra Hats of light to mid colours.  Custom design hat-pins are available in various metallic or coloured finishes and can be manufactured and fitted to enhance your corporate image. Hat-pins offer a traditional and popular Branding option, and are well-suited to applications where exact replication of logo colours and depth is required. Ideally suited to larger production runs for schools, Police Forces, and Emergency Services, custom-woven hat-bands are created to exact colour-matching requirements, and allow for the inclusion of crests to be reproduced in very fine detail. The range of thread types and colours is vast and the rapid sampling-to-production process ensures that your deadlines are not compromised. Flock is the most durable heat transfer system available, and can be printed in any PMS colour or combination of colours. Its 3-D velvet-like finish compliments the feel of a Promotional Akubra Hat. Plastisol Transfers replicate the appearance and feel of direct screen printing, and can reproduce fine detail in single or multiple colours including half-tones. Photo transfers are produced using a 4-colour digital printing process to achieve the highest quality print of multi-colour graphics. This process is best suited to solid designs, although text and finer details can be printed using solid backgrounds and keylines. Particularly well-suited to logo-branding of our straw hat range, embroidery offers a cost-effective option which would suit all budgets and are also great for small quantities at short notice. Promotional Akubra Hats are a year round must have and are sure to get your brand recognised wherever you go.

Celebrate With Great Prices on Premium Corporate Wine!!

Friday 21st November, 2008

Celebrate With Great Prices on Premium Corporate Wine! 
Celebrate With Great Prices on Premium Corporate Wine!
Each of our wines have been selected for their distinct character and superb quality, which means that you can safely choose any of our selections with the confidence that it will be enjoyed by whoever is on the receiving end. Red Wines
Australia's red grapes are amongst its greatest assets. Blessed with a wealth of sunshine, our red grapes are allowed to ripen to perfection. In general, the warmer the wine region the more likely it will be to produce rich, full-flavoured styles. These styles are what people world-wide have come to associate with Australian red wine. However, Australia also has cool climatic regions that are well-suited for those grapes that produce wines on the lighter and more delicate end of the spectrum. Because the world's premium red grape varietals are found in abundance in Australia, we are consistently able produce red wines that are world-famous for their quality and cater to any taste.
Check out our Cab Sav from Yeringa Ridge Estate!
White Wines
 
Australian white wines are renowned internationally for their unique characteristics and superb quality. When in your glass, a white Australian wine can range in colour from a rich golden yellow to a pale lemon yellow. Colour is dependent on the climate of the region the wine comes from, and also on the grape variety. Colour can be a good indication of taste. Generally speaking, a depth in colour translates to richness in flavour. The best indication of flavour however, comes from taking a big sniff. Swirl the glass around and sniff again. The styles and blends of our white wines vary greatly, each binging to the table a unique set of aromas and characteristics. However, one thing you can always be sure of is that fruit when harvested was in perfect condition. Check out the Classic Sav Blanc From De Bortoli! Sparkling Wines
Australia boasts a huge array of sparkling wines, both in red and white versions. Sparkling Reds are derived mainly from Shiraz, and have been made since the 1860's. These wines have proven to be a favourite celebratory drink for Australians, for their brilliant fruit quality, perfectly laced with tannin and sweetness. White versions vary from accessible, any-occasion bubbly to the more traditional; the classical, fermented-in-the bottle types. Check out this spectacular Sparkling Pinot from Ross Estate! wines_labels.jpg

    Women in Business - Work, Life Blending

    Tuesday 5th June, 2007

    women-in-business.jpg 
    Vivid Promos is a proud member of the Women's Network Australia. Here are some words of wisdom from the company founder and managing director Lynette Palmen. 1. Forget the words 'balancing work and family' and start using the word 'blending'. Balancing sounds like at any moment you're about to take a big fall. Do whatever it takes to blend your family and your business. Both of my children have grown up with the office being an extension of their home. And if your clients don't get it - get new clients. 2. Share your money. Hire a cleaner for at least 4 hours a week, get your lawn mowed and have your car cleaned monthly and work like a dog to ensure you never have to give up these extras. Hired help can provide justification and save your sanity on days when your life is falling apart and you're questioning what on earth ever possibly made you think you could run a business. Yes - we all have bad days! 3. When hiring your staff for your business make sure they are kid-friendly and at least one has a background in childcare prior to their employment with you. This person's skills will come in very handy for all sorts of sticky situations that arise in the workplace and with your life in general. 4. Don't restrict yourself to the options used by others to manage kids and business. And have no guilt. I want my children to remember that their mum wasn't always right, but she was never afraid and always willing to have a go. 5. Believe in yourself and think laterally. Surround yourself with extended family and friends who believe in you and your business idea, people who are like-minded and excited and willing to be part of your success. And always believe you are special enough for them to want to be involved and gain enjoyment from seeing you do really well. THESE ARE SOME REALLY COMFORTING WORDS THAT WE ALL SHOULD TRY AND LIVE BY. BALANCING AND BLENDING WORK, LIFE AND FAMILY IS A CONTINUOUS AND EVOLVING JOURNEY. IF ANY READERS HAVE ANY INSPIRING STORIES OR WORDS OF WISDOM TO CONTRIBUTE PLEASE EMAIL US AT mail@vividpromos.com.au. WE ARE LOOKING FOR GUEST BLOGGERS AND ARE KEEN TO GET AS MANY STORIES AND OPINIONS AS WE CAN. Not a member of the Australian Women's Network yet?

    Promotional Products for Word of Mouth Marketing

    Thursday 24th May, 2007

    Promotional products that get people talking - word of mouth marketing by Vivid Promos 
    Sales Skills: Promotional Products for Word of Mouth Marketing By Brian Cerra Dec 5, 2006 Promotional Products for Word of Mouth Marketing In a time when we are all barraged with banner ads on the Internet, and advertising everywhere else we go -- word of mouth marketing has never been more important. One of the easiest ways to take advantage of word of mouth marketing is simply by showing your appreciation for your customers, prospects, colleagues and employees. How? By giving them something they can actually use! With literally thousands of items that you can have your logo imprinted on, buying promotional products is not always as easy as people think. One thing is for sure: using promotional products as gift items are one of the most effective ways to keep your business name in front of people on a regular basis. The promotional products industry is only as successful as it is because the marketing dollars that companies spend on these items really do pay off. Where to Begin? Getting your logo on something that will sit in a regularly visible area (like on your client's desk or in their car) is always a good strategy. Although items such as coffee mugs, pens and pencils are typical winners “ your best bet will always be to speak with a consultant from the promotional products company you wish to order from. There is nothing wrong with surfing through all the products on a website to get your own ideas and a feel for what is available “ but be assured that you will get the best ideas, products and prices if you actually speak to a professional who deals with the products day in and day out. Not only that, but there often closeouts and specials available that sometimes don't make it onto the website. What You Need to Know You will typically have the most success using promotional products if you know what your goals are. For example, if your goals are to get more business from existing clients -- then you should determine how you will rollout your products to them. Including a unique website address imprinted under your logo can help you measure the results in terms of how people are responding to your products. You also need to know that order times can vary greatly, depending on the level of customization and products you select. Although some companies can be very flexible on rush orders, waiting to the last minute to get things in prior to a deadline (like a tradeshow or holiday event) can prove disastrous. Finally, know that your products are always more useful when they are actually out there. Some companies spend a lot of money to store a considerable amount of promotional product inventory. You may have heard the saying that it's better to give than to receive. If you give promotional products you will inevitably receive!

    Information extracted from the Noosa Events Website: In May, Noosa comes alive with the Noosa MayFiesta. The MayFiesta is not just one fantastic Noosa festival “ it is a whole series of fantastic Noosa festivals scattered through towns across the Sunshine Coast map.

First for the Noosa May Fiesta, you have the Celebration of Australian food and Wine, Noosa Style. During this event Australia's top chefs, winemakers, restaurateurs and general food lovers mingle to learn, taste and explore the best Australian produce.

To taste the best of local Sunshine Coast produce, book a spot at the Long Table Dinner, part of the Eumundi Food Festival. For the best of the rest of the world, visit the Global Food Festival along Thomas Street, Noosaville. To work off all the great food, take part in the Noosa Blue Water Swim held in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast “ one of the richest ocean races in Australia.

    Promotional Products Buyer's Guide

    Sunday 22nd April, 2007

    Promotional Products Australia by Vivid Promos 
    By BuyerZone.com Editorial Staff The power of "free" is undeniable. Whether it's a giveaway at a tradeshow, an in-store freebie, or a fun gift for your employees, giving out something for nothing is a proven way for your business to get people's attention. Whether the freebies are clothing, clocks, mugs, pens, or any of a thousand other items, they fall into a broad category called promotional products. The category includes free products distributed as advertising specialties, premiums that are given to in response to specific actions, tradeshow giveaways, business gifts, and employee incentives or rewards. Promotional products are almost always emblazoned with your company's logo and/or message for maximum effect. They can be great tools to generate name recognition and create customer or employee goodwill, often at very little cost. While individual promotional products are usually inexpensive, the total sales add up: industry estimates indicate that promotional products racked up over $17 billion in U.S. sales in 2004. They're popular in all types of industries, from construction and service trades to academic and government. Almost any business can benefit from the right promotional product, but you need to get the right item for the right price. This BuyerZone.com Promotional Products Buyer's Guide will introduce you to the process of selecting and buying promotional products for your business. Promotion products pros and cons When used correctly, promotion products can have a positive impact for almost any company. Here are some of the benefits, as well as a couple of potential pitfalls to avoid. Benefits of promotion products Because people love freebies, promotional products have a value far beyond their cost. This is particularly true when they become something the recipient uses on an ongoing basis: a $2 coffee mug can provide constant reinforcement of your brand if a customer uses it every morning, and promotional clothing turns your recipients into walking advertisers for your business!Flexibility is one of the key features of promotion products. They can work within different budgets and as part of many types of programs, and can be given to any audience: customers, prospects, dealers, employees, and vendors. You can also easily tie them to other marketing efforts, either as incentives for desired actions or as branding tools. And the actual product itself can be almost anything. The benefits of promotion products as marketing tools are well established. Studies have proven time and time again that promotional items increase response rates, boost brand recognition, and create more favorable impressions of your company. Drawbacks of promotion productsTo achieve the best results, a promotional products campaign must be carefully planned. No matter how cool or compelling the giveaway item is, you have to have a plan in place to publicize the promotion, distribute the product, and measure the results of your campaign. Tracking can be difficult, especially for marketers used to the precise measurements of online advertising. Starting with a small, focused campaign can help you get a handle on how to be successful with promotional products. In addition, the product you choose may carry restrictions as to the size and/or colors of the logo and other printing you can apply, which can put a damper on your plans. However, these types of restrictions are usually fairly easy to work around “ simply switch to a product that allows more imprinting or scale back the amount of printing you want to do on each item. Getting your customized items produced also takes some time. Depending on the items you choose and the manufacturer's workload, you might get your products in a few days, or it might take six weeks. If you're planning on using your items at a specific event, make sure you leave enough time to get them produced. Be especially careful in the last two months of the year: many businesses order holiday gifts for customers and employees, making the end-of-year rush a big one for the promotion products industry. Choosing the right promotional itemsAnything a logo can fit on can be a suitable promotional item. The challenge can be narrowing down your choices to just a few, when there are so many different types of products that you could use. Here are some of the major categories and their relative advantages and disadvantages. Clothing “ the most popular category for promotional items. Promotional t-shirts are the most common, and other popular items include hats, fleece vests and blankets, rain jackets, scarves, and more. Pro: free advertising, popularity, great for employee items. Con: styles change, ordering multiple sizes can be hard, sometimes costly, items are seasonal. Food “ includes fruit baskets, candy, gums, coffee, and more. Pro: wide range of costs, appreciated by most people. Con: limited duration, allergen problems Office gifts “ stress balls, photo holders, sticky notes, even USB flash drives, anything designed to be used at the office. These are just a few examples -- the variety is nearly endless, including golf balls, squirt guns, yo-yos, umbrellas, ice scrapers, breath mints. You can find anything ranging from serious and useful to amusing and silly. With all the options, it's worth spending some time to make the right choice. The best promotional items effectively associate your company's name with an item related to your industry. for example), but imprinting promo items works best with 300 DPI or higher. This may seem like a lot of details, but to someone familiar with graphic file formats, it's all routine. The main point you should come away with is that to get the best results from an imprinted promo item, your images should be prepared by a qualified professional using graphics software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, CorelDraw, or other publishing tools. You may be able to copy an image file into Microsoft Word and make it look good on screen, but you won't wind up with satisfactory results. Working with a vendorAccording to the Promotional Products Association International, there are over 20) in the mail showing how your logo looks when translated into fabric and thread. You'll often have a choice of shipping options, including drop shipping to a trade show or other third-party location. Again, be sure to talk to the distributor in advance if you have specific shipping requirements. Promotional merchandise pricing Pricing for promotional merchandise varies enormously depending on what items you choose. Prices can range from under a dollar per item for simple key chains and magnets to $5 to $20 for t-shirts, calculators, and leather notepads, to $100 or more for USB drives and lavish gift baskets. Knowing the price per item that you're shooting for will help you narrow down your choices to a manageable range. As with any bulk order, your per-item price for promotional merchandise gets lower as your quantity increases. These discounts are tiered at pre-set levels, so be sure to ask what quantity you'd need to order to get the next price break: you can always distribute a few more of your items. Some distributors also get better discounts from manufacturers based on their overall volume. In addition to the per-item cost, most distributors of promotional merchandise require a set-up fee of $30 to $100 to prepare your order. Many will also have a minimum order, which can be as much as 1000 pieces or $500. If you're looking for a small quantity of imprinted items, this can be an important factor in choosing a distributor. If you don't supply the right type of artwork, most distributors will levy an expensive per-hour charge for converting your files into a usable format. If you don't have a graphics person on staff, you will save money by using a freelancer to prepare your files. Whatever you decide, make sure you're getting the most for your dollar while not resorting to using shoddy materials. After all, whether it's a baseball cap or a bottle opener, the end result will be a tangible symbol of your company. Make it worthy of your company's logo. Payment terms will vary from one distributor to the next. Some may require payment up front, while others may offer payment due on delivery only. Also, the longer you work with a particular distributor, the more likely you are to get breaks on pricing and terms. If your business demonstrates that you'll be making a couple of promotional merchandise purchases per year, you'll have a much easier time getting discounts and better terms. Promo Products Buying TipsAvoid the rush. If possible, give yourself at least three weeks from start to finish to ensure the smooth production of your promo products “ more for very large or highly customized orders. Many distributors offer rush services “ but they'll cost you. Choose your item carefully. Don't choose your promo product based on the latest trend, or on the rock-bottom price. The right item will have value to your target audience and help you achieve the results you want. Promote from within. Giving employees logo t-shirts or baseball caps can be a great way to increase external brand awareness while also building company loyalty. Planning pays. Developing a consistent theme for your promotion and preparing a detailed distribution strategy will maximize the impact of the items. Get some feedback. Test a sample of the promo products you're considering on members of your intended audience. You may get valuable information, for example that the item you picked was the top giveaway at a recent tradeshow, or that while your employees enjoy working for you, they're not interested in clothes made in the company colors.

    Promotional Easter Ideas for your business

    Thursday 29th March, 2007

     
    One of the biggest challenges in this industry would have to be finding reliable logistics service suppliers that will keep their promises and in turn keep our customer's happy. The last few weeks have been a bit of a nightmare making sure all of our Easter orders go out on time. Trying to find refrigerated transport for some of our more premium chocolate items has been quite a challenge. Whilst we love living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast (Queensland) sometimes a lot of the other business we deal with can be a tad too laid back. Consequently, we sometimes forget that we can't always have the same services and expectations that you would take for granted in the big city. Whilst living on the Coast is terrific most of the times, it does sometimes challend our motto of "making the impossible possible". I guess this makes doing business on the Coast, that little bit more exciting and challenging. If it was too easy, I suppose we would all just end up hanging out at the beach all day sipping on cocktails and lounging in the sun. Despite all of this though, I can quite confidently say that we always manage to find a solution that keeps everyone happy. One of our best lessons along the way has been 'once you find a good supplier, keep them happy and stick with them'. This is a lesson that probably reigns true in any industry; but is VITAL in ours. If we maintain a good relationship with our suppliers we are in a better position to motivate them to squeeze orders in for us, deliver on time etc....and in turn we are able to offer a higher level of service and product to our clients. So at the end of a busy week I am glad to say that we successfully managed to keep all of our clients satisfied and more than happy with their Easter gifts. One of favourite Easer giveaways this year was the Paxus Easter promotion (see image below). This cute little bunny is made from DELICIOUS Belgian chocolate and whilst it was a bit of a challenge sourcing all the matching corporate coloured elements, the finished product not only tasted GREAT but it also looks SENSATIONAL. So if any of you forgot to organise any easter treats for your clients or employees this year, make sure you check out our Easter range on our website and keep them in mind for next year. Also, don't forget if you don't see anything that tickles your tastebuds or you are not really sure what you are after PLEASE make sure you give us a call because we love working with our customers to create unique and special gifts and promotional giveaways.

    7 Ways to Build Brand Awareness

    Saturday 24th March, 2007

    7 Ways to Build Brand Awareness by Vivid Promos Australia 
    Derived from YAHOO Small Business: To some, branding might not feel like a tangible aspect of running a business. It can't be seen like a product on the shelf, or counted like a cash drawer at the end of the night. But, branding is the reason people pay three times more for a product at one store over another. Good branding is the product of a clear vision, and nobody knows more about vision than small business owners. But, with limited resources, creating a brand identity can be tricky. Fortunately, building brand awareness on the Internet doesn't need to take a lot of money or resources. Here are seven strategies to build your business brand: Define the vision. Before moving ahead with the web site, create a brand positioning statement. This isn't just, ˜What kind of web site do we want to be?' This is ˜Who are we?' says Harley Manning, vice president at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Mass., a technology and market research firm that advises on the effects technology has on consumers and businesses. Good brand statements typically include the company's mission, vision and values. It's succinct. It's typically something that will fit on a page easily, he says. Build a brand worth believing in. Do you so believe in what you're creating that you would trademark it? says Andrea Fitch, president and CEO of RedCarpet Creations, Inc., and national president of the Society for Marketing Professional Services, both based out of Alexandria, Va. Really consider what kind of brand could represent the business through the next decade. Don't have a logo that in five years you're going to be tired of and discard for another, she says. Remember, the web site is the brand. A web site is not just a communication medium, Manning says. It is actually a channel that must deliver on the promise. Essentially, a web site should embody the promise that it makes to customers. If, for instance, a business claims to be innovative, the web site should look fresh and modern. Create a cohesive experience between all mediums. Before she launched her company's new web site, Fitch made sure it would be an event that her potential clients would never forget. RedCarpet Creations mailed 4,000 silver tubes containing scrolls that looked like rolled-up carpet. Inside the scrolls was an announcement about the web site's launch. Once online, the web site was an extension of the invitations because it followed through on the themes of red carpet imagery and references to visitors being treated like a VIP. Customers should easily be able to recognize the company's brand, whether it is print, online or some other form of media, Manning says. Don't sacrifice creativity. Once the brand's guidelines are established, creative choices must bring those attributes to life, Manning says. Don't let the company's brand become so dominating that there is no room for new thoughts and ideas. Brand should be the jumping-off point for interesting ideas, not the place where every new idea dead-ends. Fitch stresses that a sense of fun and whimsy will only enhance the likelihood that people will take an interest in the web site. Don't communicate brand at the expense of delivering. While a web site can be a significant tool for building brand awareness, clarity and functionality are paramount. Just be careful not to let the communication about your brand get in the way of delivering your message, Manning says. People should be able to understand how to navigate the site without knowing a thing about the company's catch phrases. You can't frustrate and annoy people into liking your brand, he says. Listen to the customers: They determine a brand's true value. Pay attention to customer feedback about the site because, ultimately, it's the customers' opinion that counts. When it comes to building a brand, a company can incorporate everything from signature colors to catch phrases, but at the end of the day, it's the consumer who decides what a brand is really worth. It's not what you say [about] yourself, it's what others say of you, Fitch says.

    Fun in the Sun

    Sunday 28th January, 2007
    Summer is just about everybody's favorite and most memorable time of the year. It is the season that we all day dream about when those long, tedious days at work start to become too frequent. Visions of tropical locations, cocktails and lazy days around the water come to mind. Fun with friends and family playing beach cricket, volleyball, having BBQ's and picnics, fishing and footy are all familiar scenes that help make the Aussie Summer so enjoyable for so many of us. I guess this is why doing Summer-time promotions are so much fun for us here at Vivid Promos - they are also really well received within the marketplace. We love this time of year! It is a time when we can help promote "Fun in the Sun". There is nothing more satisfying then helping others HAVE MORE FUN!
