New Article: How to Improve Your Logo

We have added another new article to our website - this one is definately one of my favourites! That old microsoft logo is a laugh!

How to Improve Your Logo

Excerpt:
"Logo "touch-up" is one of our most frequent requests. Our final work must be more effective, more visually appealing, and most importantly, recognizable as a revision of the old logo. How do we go about this? I wrote this guide both to offer potential business clients insight into our graphic design process and to help aspiring graphic designers.

• Logo Design Objectives
• Tips for Improving Logos
• Apple's and Microsoft's Logos
• How We Improve a Logo
• Conclusion

Logo Design Objectives

Formless creativity is great for abstract, exploratory artwork, but a logo has a task to accomplish: identify your business. Therefore, we need objectives to help formulate our design process. By judging how a design meets its objectives, we can evaluate how effectively a design accomplishes its task. Logo design objectives we use are:

• Attractiveness: You want your logo to make people feel satisfied and pleased
• Recognizability: A logo must not only be attractive, but able to associate those good feelings with your business's identity
• Flexibility: To use your attractive and recognizable logo, it must be able to withstand many different presentations and still maintain its integrity. For example, you logo must be able to be printed on a poster, displayed on a website, and printed on a fax"

Enjoy!

New Article: 10 Common Exhibiting Mistakes

We're really starting to put together some great tradeshow resource articles for you on our promotional resources page. Here's our latest addition:

10 Common Exhibiting Mistakes

Excerpt:
"We all make mistakes, however, if we are aware of the pitfalls that can occur, there is a better chance we can avoid errors that, more often than not, can be fairly costly. The following are 10 of the most common mistakes exhibitors make pre-show, at-show and post-show:

Pre-show
1. Failing to set exhibiting goals.
Goals, or the purpose for exhibiting, are the essence of the whole tradeshow experience. Knowing what you want to accomplish at a show will help plan every other aspect - your theme, the booth layout and display, graphics, product displays, premiums, literature, etc. Exhibiting goals should complement your corporate marketing objectives and help in accomplishing them.

2. Forgetting to read the exhibitor manual.
The exhibitor manual is your complete reference guide to every aspect of the show and your key to saving money. Admittedly, some show management make these easier to read than others. Albeit, everything you need to know about the show you are participating in, should be contained in the manual - show schedules, contractor information, registration, service order forms, electrical service, floor plans and exhibit specifications, shipping and freight services, housing information, advertising and promotion Remember that the floor price for show services is normally 10-20% higher so signing up early will always give you a significant savings.

3. Leaving graphics to the last minute.
Rush, change and overtime charges will add significantly to your bottom line. Planning your graphics in plenty of time - 6-8 weeks before show time will be less stressful for everyone concerned and avoids many blunders that occur under time pressures."

New Article: 10 Tips to use Giveaways more effectively

It's going to be another big year packed with tradeshows. Tradeshow giveaways are expected at every trade show stall - people love free stuff! We've added another article to our promotional resources page to help you utilise trade show give aways more effectively in 2006.

10 Tips to use Giveaways more effectively

Excerpt:
"Everyone enjoys receiving a gift, even if it is "just a little something." Gift giving creates a favorable impression. It can build goodwill, be an incentive, communicate a message and create awareness.

When thinking about advertising specialties for your next show, consider the following ten questions:

1. What do you want to achieve by giving away a premium item?

Your giveaway items should be designed to increase your memorability, communicate, motivate, promote or increase recognition. It is important not only that the message have an impact, but also the premium itself.

2. How will you select your premium item?

There is a multitude of different items you could consider as a premium. However, which one will best suit your purpose? To select the right item, you need to decide your objective. Do you want it to enhance a theme; convey a specific message or educate your target audience? A clear purpose should help make your selection process easier. A promotional specialist can also help you make an effective selection. Remember that your company image is reflected in whatever you choose to give away."

Google Australia now sending GMail invites via SMS

GMail has been a great tool I've used to help keep track of alot of my work e-mails, marketing articles, details on promotional products etc. and have them indexed by a powerful search algorithm - and access them anywhere thanks to Google :)

Forwarding useful resources, articles, links to my GMail account has proven to be an effective archive/record keeping tool for me.

If you haven't been lucky enough to receive an invite to the GMail service (I'm saying lucky - but i'm sure you know someone by now who has GMail and is willing to invite you) you can now receive invites directly from the mothership itself.

A text link at the bottom of the search engines home page reads:

Advanced spam filter, instant search, 2.6GB. Get Google Mail.

Visit google.com.au to get your invite. Simply click the link at the bottom of the page, and enter your mobile phone number, and Google will SMS your invitation code. Cool Bananas!

P.S. I can see alot of people signing up friends for a joke.. just to see Google as the SMS sender on their mobile phone displays ;)

Custom Die-Cut Printed Keyrings in any Shape

So you want a keyring? It's no surprise to us, as they are a particularly popular promotional product!

Why do they work? Keyrings are on your clients/potential clients body throughout a good part of the day. When they're not in your clients pocket/handbag/car etc. they are sitting on a key holder at home, or where their usual 'sitting spot' for keys is. Every morning, it's one of the first logos they'll see as they grab their car keys. Now are you convinced of their effectiveness as a giveaway item?

The biggest challenge with promotional keyrings, is making sure it's your keyring on the keychain, and NOT someone elses! So here's an idea to help you get your printed keyring attached to your client's keys.

We can create a custom shape/design keyring with a high quality print that is long lasting. What you print on your promotional product is important, but supporting that message with a custom designed keyring shape will help increase its effectiveness as a promotional product.

So how can you get your hands on a custom die-cut keyring, laser cut to your chosen shape/design?
