Why Promotional Merchandise?

One of the good things about the BPMA’s regional events is that you get the opportunity to hear from others involved in the industry and learn more about your field.

On Ian’s travels to the North West event he was supplied with some research from Gordon Glenister of BPMA fame who provided him the following link to some research conducted around the promotional market to seek answers to such important questions as ‘why promotional merch?’, ‘What really appeals to those buying and receiving it?’ and ‘which items are the most effective?’.

One of the findings we liked the most was that usefulness was a large influence on decision making. With sanitisers, lip balms and emery boards we like to think we have that angle covered pretty well. It also states that there is good correlation between promotional gifts and the target market’s perceived image of the brand as well as brand longevity and brand loyalty being thrown into the mix.

The link below to the BPMA’s website has much more information than I’ve been able to give you here, including how those buying promotional merchandise are likely to spend their budgets in the coming year.

Hand Sanitisers: Saved by the gel?

Bottles of antibacterial gel have become an increasingly common sight in Britain. 
It has become a handbag must-have, a public transport companion and a 
desktop saviour in the office.

Perfect to eliminate door handle nasties, clean hands before touching computer 
keyboards or prior to lunchbreaks as we sit down at restaurant and café tables. 
Everyone has the need for a quick bit of hand-gelling.

Once upon a time, hand sanitisers were the stuff of institutions: hospitals, care 
homes and doctors surgeries. Today, it has transformed into an essential personal 
accessory and even those who have yet to introduce antibacterial gel into their 
lives with anything approaching real rigour still seem to carry it – tucking it into 
their handbags like some kind of shield against germs.

Not just for the winter colds and flu, Spring approaching also brings it’s own 
hygiene precautions (and hopefully sunny weather) with holidays, festivals 
and picnics. Demand is likely to continue further and faster so you should be 
prepared for a precautionary squirt of sanitiser any time of the year.

                     With a full range available from bio labs there is literally a one stop shop for 

all your clients needs, so contact us now on sales@bio-labs.co.uk 

or visit www.bio-labs.co.uk for details.

Spring into Summer

With the popularity of 50 Shades last year and our own resident Christian Grey 

turning 50 today (congratulations Ian!) we thought we would stick with the 

theme and focus on our 50ml products this week.

We’ve also seen the re-emergence of the Sun after its long hibernation period so 

with our range of handy 50ml travel sized products for the summer sun, its not too 

early to start planning for the weather and festivities ahead.

Included in the range are F15 and F25 Sun Lotions in a tube, 50ml refreshing face sprays and 50ml insect repellents. Not forgetting our 50ml sanitisers and the all-important 50ml aftersun - just incase you get caught unaware!

The only reference to Spring Ian thought he might be hearing this
week was being referred to as ‘not a spring chicken’ but hopefully
this will keep his mind off of coming down the steep end of the hill.

Plenty of other products are available, give us a call for more details.

Bio Labs' Balmy Army

Lip balms offer great exposure for your client’s brand all year round with most people 

having a lip balm in their bag, vanity kit, car, home or travel bag. They are used repeatedly 

throughout the day so offer continued exposure for your client’s brand. 

Promotional lip balms are used by companies across a wide range of different industries 

because of their wide appeal. Everyone knows lip balms prevent dry, chapped lips but lip balms also prevent windburn and cold sores so they are ideal for the summer sun as well as the wet and cold winters and skiing holidays. More off-the-wall uses include being used to style and groom rowdy eyebrows and body hair, bleeding from small cuts and grazes, therefore they are the one-stop fix everyone can find a use for. 

Available in a rainbow of colours this striking, colourful and extremely practical promotional gift 

will add a touch of sunshine to any event! 

With an ever-increasing demand for a wider range of product, this Spring Bio Labs will be 

introducing two new additions to the range; The Sports Ball shaped versions like the Golf Ball: 

Football and a Tennis ball, both filled with a natural Vanilla Lip Balm. Each can be branded 

with a direct print. The second new range available next month from stock is the new mini 3gm 

Lip Balms in a range of 4 flavours including Cherry, Citrus, Tea Tree and Vanilla.

It’s the end of Jan already!!! It’s been a hectic start to 2013, 

with two trade shows and the best start to the year for orders

nail polishes with a number of orders for a wide range of 

clients drawing on our range of ‘off-the-shelf stock colours’ 

to help promote bingo and night club events in particular.

Now with an ever-increasing range of colours available 

from only 250 pieces with full colour branding it may be 

time to polish up your customers’ marketing campaign with 

a bright, funky, quality UK made Nail Varnish.

PSI and Trade Only Shows 2013

We would like to say a big thank you to all the customers that took the time to come and visit our stand at the PSI and Trade Only trade shows.

We’ve had some fantastic feedback and been given plenty of food for thought so you can expect bigger and better things from us here at Bio Labs this year.

The lip balms we were giving away went down an absolute storm with the dry atmosphere of the exhibition hall and the cold weather outside colluding to make them more of a necessity than a free gift.

Our pocket-sized manicure sets, golf ball lip balms and pocketmate sets were also very well received and we are excited to see where they take us this year.
