Have a Drink on BRAVA Marketing!

Monday, May 7th, 2012

After a long, hard work week, most people want nothing more than to come home on a Friday night, put their feet up, and crack open a nice bottle of wine. Or an ice-cold beer. Or whatever their drink of choice happens to be.

That being the case, why not capitalize on this relaxing, idyllic scenario by putting your name on a few of the items that are most likely to be close at hand? BRAVA Marketing can help you there!

Let’s start right at the heart of it – the wine. How about a nice bottle of merlot with your company’s logo etched right on the bottle? Or perhaps a nice cabernet sauvignon? Or a chardonnay? And for those company celebrations, you can’t beat a branded bottle of champagne. Whatever kind of wine or spirit your customers may prefer, we’ve got you covered.

Of course, they’ve got to get the wine out of the bottle to enjoy it, right? Not a problem with a logo-imprinted corkscrew and branded pourer. And once it’s time for the vino to flow, we have branded decanters, wine glasses that can bear your company’s logo, and wine chillers to keep things cool.

Now what about your beer drinkers? We’ve got them covered as well! One of the most popular and useful items to put your company information on is a bottle opener, and we’ve got every size, shape, and style you can imagine. And if you want to help keep the beer cold, how about putting your logo on an ice bucket? It’s a great idea if you own a bar or restaurant and want to promote drink specials!

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that since not everyone is a drinker, you need some non-alcoholic options. Not a problem. Put your corporate logo and information on a bottle of sparkling grape juice and you’re ready to go!

BRAVA Marketing Promotions can brand most any alcoholic beverage or accessory you can imagine, but we remind you to please drink responsibly. Contact us today to learn about all of the wine and spirit items we carry. Cheers!

Increase Employee Morale with Corporate Awards from BRAVA Marketing Promotions

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

In the current economic climate, employee bonuses are often hard to come by for most businesses, but it’s still necessary to keep your workforce motivated and performing as necessary. From an employee perspective, there is nothing worse than working hard and not being recognized when going above and beyond your normal duties. People love to be recognized for their achievements; and not being recognized can be extremely detrimental to employee morale and affect overall company performance and profits. Oftentimes, lack of recognition, not lack of financial compensation, is a huge factor in employee dissatisfaction. There is no better way to increase employee performance than recognizing individuals for a job well done than providing some sort of employee recognition or corporate awards program that provides gifts or tokens of appreciation.  

 

Here are a few tips if you are thinking about setting up an employee recognition or corporate awards program:

 

·         Recognition should be linked to achievable accomplishments.

·         Apply attainable criteria consistently so that it is fair and achievable for all employees.

·         Awards should be based on superior performance in order to encourage employees to outperform.

 

A few benefits of using corporate awards to boost employee performance and morale are:

 

·         Strengthening relationships between employees and company management

·         Helping your employees to achieve their professional goals, and feel good about their contributions

·         Helping employees to perform better and help increase the productivity of your organization

We have business gifts that can fit within almost any marketing budget. BRAVA Marketing Promotions has an array of simple and specialized Corporate Awards, such as Custom Engraved Crystal Corporate Awards, Laser-Etched Crystal Recognition Awards, Desk Clocks, Desk Sets, Executive Pens, Pins, and Recognition Plaques.

 

Don’t just wait until the end of the year to recognize achievement - you can provide small gifts on a monthly or quarterly basis, such as pins and or executive pens.

 

The most valuable asset for your company is your employees. Even if your budgets are constrained, you can still show your employees that you appreciate their hard work and dedication by recognizing their daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly achievements. Taking simple steps to recognize employee achievement is one of the best ways to improve the productivity of your company and decrease staff turnover.

 

Contact BRAVA Marketing Promotions today if you are looking to set up or improve your employee recognition or corporate awards program.

Top Trends in Promotional Products for 2011

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Brad Duarte – BRAVA Marketing Promotions

Happy New Year! Bring on 2011! The recession is over!  With optimism and confidence companies are implementing creative marketing strategies with exciting promotional products that engage and “wow!” their customers.  For a successful marketing campaign, promotional products must appeal to broadly diverse, multi generational customers. Think relevant, useful, fresh and hip.  The right promotional items play a vital role in conveying brand and message.  While traditional “swag” – pens, calendars, coffee mugs and T-shirts are always available, we’ve seen a definite trend with customers choosing more creative items.

Here are a few ideas and trends from our research and top customers.

Top 6 Trends:

1.    Tech gadgets and accessories. There is a continuing demand for iPod and mp3 players along with the growing need for their accessories.  To keep up with the gadget trend companies offer promotional products like protective iPod covers, recharging docks, armbands or lanyards to hold the gadget, or customized ear buds displaying brand name, logo and colors. 

 

2.    Green products. Eco-friendly products trends in recent years are exploding in popularity and demand. From biodegradable drink ware and plantable seed cards to umbrellas with bamboo handles and hemp materials for apparel items, going green is all the rage. As the general public embraces eco-friendly habits, sustainable items show support and the cool new technology these products posses.

 

3.    Apparel.  Shirts and tops continue to be the top selling wearable item with new styles, colors, fabrics and textures.  Jewel tones like deep purple, ruby red and sapphire blue, are THE hot new choice for men and women of all ages. Vintage/distressed fabrics are popular along with military / camo prints. Performance fabric, stretch blends in clean simple lines that won’t wick, show wrinkles and support the active lifestyle and comfort wearers want

 

4.    Multi-function items. Today, cell phones serve as mini laptops and cameras, a trend in promotional products is multi-use items. Pens with mini flashlights, lanyards and safety whistles. Padfolios with attached calculators and an assortment of useful multi-functional pocket size tools.  USB flash drives with light and laser pointers. Foldable, rubber rinsable waterproof hygienic keyboards are items trending hot.  Key rings are also flashlights, whistles, bottle openers, and pens.

 

5.    Kitchen gadgets and utensils.  A trend growing once again, kitchen products allow businesses to have their brand on useful everyday items. Beyond coffee mugs, rubber can openers, and refrigerator new hot items includes martini shakers, knives collections, and even plastic ice cubes. 

 

6.    Wine and accessories. Wine and wine culture trend increasing in younger and more diverse audiences. Wine novices and connoisseurs alike enjoy talking, tasting and sharing in wine as a favorite pastime. Getting into this trend with an appropriate promotional product from corkscrews and foil cutters to glasses and bottles of wine displaying a brand logo.

SPF and Custom Imprinted Sunblock that is right for you.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

 

We wanted to pass this along to you from one of our partners as it really helps clarify the confusion around Sunblock and SPF levels.

 

You may have heard the term “SPF”.  Most know it means Sun Protection Factor.  But that is still pretty vague.

 

Everyone’s skin is different.  If you think about it, not even two people from the same family will sunburn or tan identically.  So, some sort of a yardstick was needed to provide the population with suncare products and an explanation of how it all works.  And so was born the SPF.

 

SPF is not about the STRENGTH of the sunblock.  It is about the amount of TIME IT IS GOOD FOR.

 

When you go in the sun without sunblock, your skin will usually start to redden after a time.  Let’s say that amount of time is 10 minutes.  If you are using SPF 15 sunscreen, you will be protected 15 times this amount of time.  In other words, 10 minutes x 15 = 150 minutes or 2.5 hours.  This is factoring in not sweating, wiping or toweling off the sunscreen.  The time factor on how long you take to get red is based on several factors with YOUR skin, including how fair you are, and other genetic stuff.

 

So, the higher the SPF rating, the LONGER it is good for, not the STRONGER it is.

 

Most people don’t spend hours and hours in the sun.  Which means that going out for a while with SPF 15 might be fine for you, as long as you don’t wash, sweat or wipe it off.  It benefits you to have a stronger rated sunblock if you plan on being outside for a fair bit of time.

Stimulus Package Fails to Impact Organizations Marketing Programs. Has All This Money Increased Your Marketing Budget Yet?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

For most businesses the answer is no.  Sales and Marketing budgets are projected to still be under a lot of pressure for 2010.  In general ad revenues have not rebounded.  Even some of the larger corporations have cut back – no Super Bowl Pepsi commercials this year.  So what can you do to still motivate your staff, existing customers and generate new prospects?

One of the most proven methods is the strategic use of custom imprinted products.  Branded or Logo printed items handed out at the right time can have a dramatic effect on sales, contributions and good will.  For 2010 there are many new promotional products that are both cost effective and impactful.  

The big PPAI trade show was just held in Las Vegas where hundreds of new custom printed products were introduced.  This year creativity is off the charts as new items in just about all categories strive to be unique, progressive, useful yet economical and offering a high perceived value.  Remember a little something is better than nothing at all.  This year there are lots of new custom imprinted products in every budget range that your organization can use to help achieve your goals and objectives.

SAVE BIG on Promotional Gifts

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

Your company can still stand out at industry meetings by the branded corporate promotional gifts you hand out. We at BRAVA Marketing have some great suggestions to SAVE BIG on your promotional products.

Plan Way Ahead

Take time to select the most appropriate promotional gift. At BRAVA Marketing, with more than 400,000 promotional items and gifts, you can find suitable promotional items in every category at every price point—from the lowest cost to the most expensively priced promotional giveaway. For example, imprinted golf umbrellas can range from $9.31 up to $44.09 apiece.

The More You Buy, the More You Save

Choose one corporate gift and give it away over and over again this year. Think of it, if your company has three major meetings, order the same item in quantity for all three and you will SAVE BIG. A good example is the “Two-Tone Portfolio w/Bottle Holder QBXBI-FPDSL” which is $1 cheaper per portfolio if you buy 500 instead of 48. Just make sure the promo product is appropriate to all three special events.

SAVE on Shipping Costs

These days, shipping costs are a huge add-on to your order. While we can always fulfill your rush order in time for your important event, you can shave significant costs from your budget by leaving more leeway in the schedule for ground and freight shipping.

Print Your Logo in One Color

Try printing the custom imprinted item in one color, instead of two. The fewer colors you use on custom branding, skims more savings off the total printing costs.

Grab a Partner

If you and another vendor are attending the same event and have complimentary products and services, suggest teaming up with them to hand out a more expensive promotional item. It’s like that old philosophy: two can live cheaper than one!

No matter what you spend and no matter how much you save, the personalized gift should always reinforce your brand and reflect your company’s image.

BRAVA Marketing Promotions specializes in producing high quality promotional merchandise and unique custom printed products. These imprinted items are tailored to meet the specific promotional and marketing goals of the Fortune 500, small businesses and organizations. It’s quick and easy to secure the custom imprinted products you need to be successful. We view ourselves as an extension of your marketing and procurement department with innovative designs and ideas that utilize our up-to-date product merchandise knowledge. Contact us today at www.bravamarketing.com or 877-239-1227 toll-free for ideas for promotional products.
