Gift packs from KeepMe Promotions

High-profile events are expensive. But you obviously need to promote your product to

the right people so you make the investment. What you then need to do is make sure you

get the best possible return on that investment – and one of the most effective tools at

your disposal is a promotional gift pack.

With a comprehensive range of promotional products, an arsenal of modern eco-friendly

materials and the application of cutting edge creativity in the design process, KeepMe

Promotions is ideally placed to provide that.

Steve Anderson, joint MD at KeepMe Promotions, explains: “The perfect promotional

product for a high-profile event needs to satisfy three essential criteria. It needs to be

sufficiently affordable for you to give it away; it needs to be perceived as an object of

value, so the recipient is keen to accept it and happy to use it; and it needs to carry the

right message away from your stand and into the public arena. Our products are now in a

position to achieve all three of these things . . .”

The bag

First up is the branded bag. KeepMe Promotions produces robust, attractive, re-useable

bags in either cotton or non woven polypropylene. These products are degradable, non-

toxic and printed using only water-based inks. And there is no sacrificing of practicality

here, because they are also 100 per cent recyclable and sufficiently robust to be used

indefinitely. The bags come in a variety of colours and sizes and can be custom-printed to

promote your company brand in a very modern and effective way.

Lead times - from as little as ten days

Example prices - 500 printed cotton bags from 51p per bag

Steve says – “These bags are extremely durable and can be re-used over extended

periods. The extra profile that this regularity of use gives you makes these products very

easy to justify in terms of cost.”

The pen

Having established a new office in Shenzen, China, the first of ten new environmentally

sound products, recently commissioned by KeepMe Promotions, is a recycled pen. Made

from stiff, compacted recycled paper with a wooden clip and recycled plastic trim, it has

plenty of space on the shaft for easy branding, plus the price advantage that the Chinese

manufacturing plant brings. It comes in red, green, black and blue ink, with nib and clip

colours to match.

Lead times - three weeks

Example prices – 39p per unit for 1,000; 21p per unit for 20,000

Steve says - “The recycled pen is a good example of our ‘raw’ ethos. We want the product

to clearly state that it is recycled without us having to say it – and that reflects very well

on our clients.”

The notepad

It’s not just bags that polypropylene can be used for. KeepMe Promotions is also

producing notebooks and folders from the same material. Again, bespoke sizes are

available and you can also take advantage of a free in-house design service, allowing you

to tailor the product to suit your business needs. The cover surface is well suited for

vibrant, long lasting logos.

Lead times – from three weeks

Example prices – 500 printed notepads from £2.20 per pad

Steve says – “Polypropylene is a great material for events gift packs. It looks and feels

very high quality and yet its low price, versatility and ecological sustainability make it a

very practical choice.”

The digital brochure

The USB stick is another excellent product for a gift pack at an event. The relative

simplicity of the manufacturing process makes it cost-effective to buy in bulk and quick

in terms of lead times. It is also very easy to customise, allowing you not just to pre-load

it with your company information, but also to adapt its shape, design and packaging

according to your target audience. You can now offer your digital brochure in the form of

a card that fits in your wallet or even as a rubberised wrist band. It saves on the bulk and

cost of a printed document, adds greatly to your company’s green credentials and appeals

to the modern outlook of the exhibition visitor.

Lead times – from two weeks (otherwise, a 48-hour express service is available)

Example prices – 500 printed 128mb units for £2.04; 500 printed 1Gb units for £2.66

Steve says – “A desirable little gadget like a USB device allows you to incorporate more

exciting, interactive features into your company’s promotional pitch, like product

demonstrations and web links.”

The upshot

KeepMe Promotions is ideally placed to offer a gift pack that makes a big impact for your

company and yet remains affordable. The sheer range of modern sustainable materials at

KeepMe’s disposal includes cotton, polypropylene, recycled plastic, paper, wood, metal,

leather, bamboo and even corn. For more information or to discuss an order, call the team
