The influence of colors in the promotional products industry

Color plays a vital role in marketing. When designing the branding and logo of your company, the choice of colors is an element of major importance.

 

According to studies called Exciting Red and Competent Blue, purchase intention is greatly affected by colors due to the impact they have on the way a brand is perceived. Therefore, colors influence the way consumers view the “personality” of the company in question. And “personality” plays a central role in the creative development of the brand.

What are Pantone colors?

When people talk about Pantone colors, they usually mean the color specified in the Pantone Color Matching System (PMS).< /p>

If you see PMS 1837, you will instantly recognize the associated brand – Tiffany & Co. This color, known as Tiffany blue, is inspired by the color of a wild bird’s egg.

If your brand has a primary or standard color, such as the red used by Coca- Cola or Microsoft blue, this can be more easily reproduced on a digital press or plastic personalization . Different printing processes will have different effects on color.

The Pantone colors of 2021 can be a challenge when it comes to promotional materials. However, they can be successfully incorporated or combined in your own brand color palette.

Pantone Matching System (PMS)

The Pantone Color Matching System is the standard language for communicating colors of to the designer to the manufacturer to the retailer to the customer. The Pantone system is now widely accepted and relied upon by printers, manufacturers, retailers, artists, designers and others.

This is a standardized patented color system used in many industries, which describes colors by an assigned number (eg “PMS 12”). Invented in the early 1960s, PMS allows designers to match colors regardless of the process used to produce the color. This allows companies to assign a suitable color to their brand.

This system highlights the best representation of color intent in the graphic arts. It consists of thousands of pre-formulated colors to produce specific colors for products and models.

The mission of Lexonn is to offer corporate gifts and promotional products of high quality to each company and, since PMS colors are standardized, we can offer you a quality that meets your expectations.

Make a good impression by choosing promotional products that match your Pantone colors. Give your company a unique advantage by choosing shades that your customers will instantly associate with your business.

Within a company, leading a team can often be a challenging task. When it comes to increasing employees morale and sustaining an encouraging workplace environment, attention and commitment are needed. That is why offering personalized gifts is an effective way to encourage the achievement of the company’s main goals.

Employees appreciation helps stimulate their commitment and encourages them to remain loyal to the company. Obtaining high-performance results is another element that is pursued in the recognition system.

Promotional products have a beneficial effect as incentives for staff

According to a 2017 Promotional Product Association International Sales Report, the key purpose of giving away promotional products that year was developing the relationships with the employees. Recognizing an employee’s efforts and appreciating his or her abilities creates an essential connection between the company and the employee.

Receiving personalized promotional gifts, employees become more familiar with the brand. Therefore, those with a positive outlook on the brand are more likely to recommend the company to family and friends. Employees’ trust in the brand they represent will always be an advantage for the company.

A job well structured in terms of requirements and recognition makes an employee feels as an useful contributor in the company to which it belongs.

69% of employees would work harder if they feel that their efforts would be more appreciated.

What personalized gifts you can reward your employees with?

Although giving personalized gifts is a quick and ideal reward plan, employees’ priorities and needs require attention. Therefore, due to the fact that the scope of promotional products is vast, we must choose the most practical ones. For example, textiles are useful and essential elements in everyday life:

Bullet journal – a diary with dotted pages for organization and productivity

A Bullet Journal – a diary with sheets printed with dots instead of lines or squares – can be one of the most inspiring promotional items that a brand can offer to its clients and partners.

While everyone is looking for a dated, classically lined diary or a simple one with vellum sheets, your company can stand out with this remarkable dotted diary model.

 

Bullet journaling started as a kind of mindfulness-satisfaction-productivity trend that equates the youth of a organized journal with an ordered inner life.

What is this bulleted agenda?

Ryder Carroll, a digital designer from New York, crowdfounded this Bullet Journal (or BuJo for short) and invented with the help of an organization method to help him be more focused and productive. Having difficulty concentrating since childhood, Carroll developed his own system to be able to have a more organized thinking.

How did he do it? He reveals to us in the presentation held in 2017 at TEDx YALE: How to clear your mind – keep adiary.

World Environment Day – how can we contribute?

June 5 – World Environment Day

As every year, on June 5th we celebrate Environment Day worldwide. When the world seemed to be more and more aware of the problems related to the environment, everyone’s life was turned upside down. And after a period in which people were forcibly withdrawn, leaving nature to breathe, others were added to the still unsolved problems. The images of indiscriminately thrown masks are well-known, in addition to those with “plastic bags”.

More than ever, it’s time for everyone, people and brands, to contribute to protecting the environment and promoting a sustainable way of life.

Choose a promotional product made with care for the environment</h3 > Promotional products should be the image of the principles stated by the brands. The promotional products industry has reinvented itself in recent years, mainly due to the awareness of the sustainable way of life. The result of these efforts of the profile industry is the production of eco promotional objects.

 

Environmental antibacterial pen

In terms of reinvention, the Prodir company is always among the first. The Swiss manufacturer of writing instruments has developed a new range of recycled plastic pens with antibacterial coating.

”Regeneration Pens” – Made of ecological materials, these elegantly designed writing instruments allow you to incorporate sustainability as a credible part of your brand message. They are made 100% of recycled plastic from the same material used in the Prodir factory. In addition, the lead used is of the latest generation and without lead among the components: Floating Ball® lead free.

 

 

The “Regeneration Pens” range has recently received a substantial improvement by being coated with the antibacterial additive Biomaster from Addmaster.

 

This globally renowned additive, ISO 22196 certified, inhibits the growth of bacteria by up to 99.99% for the entire duration of the life of the pen. Biomaster technology is based on silver ions, a technology recognized and used for centuries – and has no harmful effects.

The Swiss producer thus tackled two major issues of urgent relevance: sustainability and hygiene.

 

You can increase customer loyalty by offering personalized promotional products specially created for a sustainable lifestyle . Employees and customers will appreciate your brand more when they receive products that incorporate an ecological vision.

Contact us and we will try to provide you with as much additional information as possible about the Prodir antibacterial pen and about many other ecological solutions promotion with the help of personalized promotional products.

 

 

 

 

Work-from-home promotional products. How to support employees working remotely

Work-from-home has lately become a common phrase in companies’ vocabulary. This is especially true for brands whose industry has allowed this change. Although too early to appreciate how profound this change is, for many of us working from home is an everyday reality.

Business meetings, recruitment interviews, regular meetings, most of them now take place in the virtual space. HR and communication professionals, psychologists, sociologists, and financial analysts naturally wonder if we see the end of the office age.

 

Even if the lights on office campuses are not going out yet, the work-from-home trend is obviously increasing. How do companies react? How do they make the relocation to home offices much easier for so many employees?

Working from home is not as simple as it sounds, so any encouragement for the remote working colleagues is welcomed.

It`s a favorable moment for employer branding.

Personalized promotional products can help brands stay connected with all company employees. It is well known the fact that employees are the first and the best promoters of a brand. That`s why is an opportunity to show your brand appreciation to the employees in these challenging times:

  • sustain their efforts
  • thank them for their achievements
  • be there for them, when they need most

Employees will be the best brand ambassadors, and as one the perks of it, customers will be aware of that.

How can a brand use promotional products to support the work from home?

Here are some suggestions for branding a company as employer:

– Promotional office objects that will facilitate the transition from working in the office to working from home, a space less adapted to consistent work. Any help is welcomed, nothing is extra.

– Branded objects who can integrate the brand in the family space. Don’t avoid being part of your employees’ daily lives, some may need help in the kitchen or with children’s lessons ????

Personalized promotional products especially designed to help through this difficult time. The hygiene and protection products offered to the employees will strengthen the brand image as a brand who cares.

Special kits designed for work-from-home. Or for well-deserved moments of relaxation. Or to encourage exercise at home or outdoor, where possible.

-Textile promotional items, whether for indoor or outdoor. The key element is building team membership, whose distance can be more intensely felt working from home.

Goodies. No one stays indifferent to a pack of goodies (chocolate, biscuits, coffee, tea, lollipops with vitamins, natural syrups etc.) and nothing says better “we are here for you, we are moving on together”. Yes, we take care of everyone, we can also offer sugar-free goodies.

-Outside-the-box promotional products. You know better your own employees, offer them something unexpected but with great potential to be well received (some of them we have already tested 😉 )

We have many suggestions for you, we are just an e-mail or a phone call away to help your company maintain its top employer reputation!
