4 Ideas Friday

We talked to Michelle, the tech products expert in our Merchandising department, to find out about the latest and greatest promotional tech products aimed at helping recipients get more out of their devices.

Wireless chargers get their attention—fast
“If your customer has a Qi-enabled device, they’ll love these new wireless chargers,” Michelle said. “When placed on top of the pad, it charges the Qi-enabled device using inductive technology. We offer a variety of different styles.” Electric toothbrushes have been using the principles of inductive wireless charging for years, but now the system has expanded to charging pads and power banks. The charger and device actually communicate with each other via electromagnetic coils to start and stop the recharging. How cool is that? Check out the Tiz Qi Wireless Charging Pad, Slim Wireless Charging Pad or Qi Wireless Charging Phone Stand to create a truly impressive imprinted gift.

Light-up logos are bright marketing ideas
Everyone at the trade show, open house or other event will notice your logo when it’s lit up! These products use LEDs to illuminate your logo. Choose a theme and a catchy slogan, and use these clever promo tools to impress customers. A few of our favorite light-up logo items include the Woodland Light-Up Logo Power Bank, Ridge Line Light-Up Logo Charging Cable and Geo Light-Up Logo Wireless Mouse.

Phone accessories are an affordable way to spread your message
The ever-expanding world of fun and functional smartphone gear can be overwhelming. Let us take the confusion away and show you some of the hottest accessories. Michelle’s favorites include the ingenious laser-engraved Tear Drop Smartphone Ring Stand and always-desired PopSockets® Phone Stands. “These grips make handling your smartphone easier while texting and taking pictures,” she said. There are plenty of easy-to-store, easy-to-hand-out phone giveaways that are perfect for shows and events. Check out the Air Vent Magnetic Phone Mount that lets them magnetically attach a phone to a car’s air vent. Or the Smartphone Game Controller: a mini thumb pad that clips to their phone and makes it easier to play their favorite video games. And the Color-Changing Smartphone Wallet is ideal for storing credit cards—it even changes color with the heat of their hand.

Brand-name tech gear to impress your top clients and performers
When it comes to winning over new clients or showing top sales associates that you really appreciate their extra effort, brand-name items with your company logo are sure to grab their attention. Just look at these two items: the Brookstone® Sport True Wireless Ear Buds and the Brookstone Armor Bluetooth® Speaker. Both quality products come with cables and a box or case for easy gift giving. Or go totally wireless with the Jam® Ultra True Wireless Ear Buds for maximum mobility and comfort. And the portable Polk® Swimmer Jr Bluetooth Speaker can be immersed in water up to 3 feet deep for up to 30 minutes. Watch the product video for details. Impress them with your logo on beautiful bamboo paneling of the Get Together Bluetooth Speaker. It includes a charging cord with multiple outlet adapters for North America, Western Europe, the UK and Australia.
