It can be a challenge for business’s to cut through the clutter of today’s media saturated world. Whether watching TV, on the computer, laptop, tablet or other mobile device, every end user is distracted by the multitude of visuals that bombard us every day. Marketers are looking for new ways to create a personal insight for their product or service, engaging potential customers with emotional messages that speak directly to natural human instincts of needs and wants.

Personalisation of promotional products may be the key to portraying your company with a fresh image, pushing your brand message over the line and into the subconscious mind of consumers. Traditional forms of advertising such as direct mail do not have the impact they did before the advancement of the digital age. Therefore, companies need to find new approaches in order to communicate with customers more directly.

Call us on 07 3861 7888 for professional advice and a personalised approach to your upcoming promotional product campaign.

Customised print runs can be produced for the following personalised promotional products:

• Direct-to-garment printed t-shirts
• Individually named & numbered sports jerseys
• Laser engraved or stickered key rings & bottle openers
• Personalised labels on spring water bottles, as well as beer and wine bottles
• Custom name labels on mugs & tape measures
• Message-specific flyers, gift cards, postcards, bookmarks & desk calendars
• Made-to-order notepads, mouse mats, magnets & more

In-house designers and copywriters work with you to formulate a creative message tailor-made for your companies marketing strategy, making the most of your personalised promotional product campaign.

One way to make promotional products even more personalised is to use variable data printing. Variable data printing is a process that uses the latest technology to digitally print individual names and targeted messages onto many promotional products. Variable data printing has been used for addressing bulk mail outs of bills and brochures for years, but with its introduction into the promotional products industry it takes direct marketing to a whole new level.

Imagine receiving the gift of a Christmas card, desktop calendar, mouse mat, key ring bottle opener or bottle of spring water with your name and/or company logo printed on the label or directly onto the item. What would otherwise be a generic gift, as a personalised promotional product, becomes a memorable experience with your brand.

Looking for promotional products in Brisbane can be a challenge if you’re not quite sure what you’re after. Before you pick up the phone to call us, it may be worthwhile asking yourself the following questions:

• What is your budget?
• How many units do you require?
• When do you need them? Do you have a specific deadline for an event?
• Who is the intended target audience?
• Why do you need the item? Employee incentive, gift with purchase or brand reminder?
• Do you need a custom colour or branding solution?

This will help us form a creative brief which will guide us towards exploring every possible avenue for ideas to promote your company through branded apparel and promotional products.
 
The first thing to consider is your location. If your business is located in Brisbane or the greater south east Queensland, we would recommend making an appointment to visit our showroom at Eagle Farm on the north shore of the Brisbane river, just 15 minutes drive from the CBD and little more than 10 minutes from the Brisbane Airport where we have over 500 promotional products and 1000 apparel items. Once you arrive at our showroom, you’ll have the opportunity to touch and feel our massive apparel range. We stock most popular brands for you to try on for size and comfort, including Hanes classic t-shirts, Visitec workwear and Gloweave & John Kevin woven business shirts to name a few.
 
We also have a large selection of promotional products from bags to stubby coolers and custom designed items. Our bespoke premiums service allows for giveaways and on pack promotions to be custom made specifically for your purpose, whether to highlight a brand at an event or help launch a new product into the market. You will see past examples of factory pre-production prototypes used as product samples.
 
If you happen to be in regional Queensland or further afield interstate, we can provide you with exactly the same range of promotional products our Brisbane store offers & dedicated customer service. Our sales staff will work with you, one on one, during phone calls and email conversations to help discover the best promotional product for your needs. We are more than happy to mail product samples and catalogs for your perusal, via express post or courier. With today's ever increasing communication technologies and reliable delivery systems, we have been able to supply promotional products from Brisbane to businesses and brands all over Australia. As far south as Melbourne and Adelaide; as well as off shore to clients in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Nauru.
 
Competitive prices are dependent on the quantity you require. As a general rule, you will find it more cost effective to use us for orders of screen printed or embroidered clothing and headwear when you require 25 units or more. Keep in mind, setup costs may be charged if your logo needs to be redrawn or altered for screen printing. With promotional products such as plastic pens and bottle opener key rings the MOQ, or Minimum Order Quantity, is about 100 units. However, stubby coolers can be ordered for as few as 50 units. For this reason it’s important to contact us directly with any queries you have in regards to quantities and minimum order requirements for promotional products.
 
Turnaround times may vary, so please engage our services well before your deadline. Certain styles in our stock range are held at various locations around Australia. This means we can work on time frames of 1 to 2 weeks to supply unbranded items. However, for inclusion in our print production schedule, promotional product decoration may take an extra week or more. So please allow up to 4 weeks lead time for production of promotional products that will be sourced and printed locally at our Brisbane headquarters. For larger custom made or off shore orders made in China, please schedule 4 to 6 weeks  from approval of pre-production samples. During this time, factories will acquire raw materials and begin mass manufacturing while maintaining high levels of quality control. Then we deliver via sea or air freight, which may include customs checks when it lands at the Australian border.
 
You can trust us to provide complete customer service, high attention to detail, quality control and reliability to deliver on time. For professional advice on finding promotional products in Brisbane and Australia wide, call the Queensland T-Shirt Company on 07 3861 7888.

There are numerous ways in which promo products can help you get new customers and grow business relationships through targeted marketing campaigns. The mechanics and strategies that can be used are many, but the message is simple... Custom printed clothing and merchandise is more memorable than other popular mediums of advertising. They carry an insight into the aims of your companies customer service policy and plants the seed of thought at a subconscious level.

As a promotional premium they can be used as a gift with purchase [GWP], giveaway, on pack promotion, product up-sale, client/staff loyalty or incentive program, win in store [WIS], high-end/top shelf premium or big ticket item. It's important to find the right product for the right target market. A promotional gift that the customer can touch and feel and ideally use in a practical way. And it's not rocket science to make sure it's relevant to whatever product or service you want to promote. Ultimately, a well branded premium becomes a constant reminder to the end consumer of your brand, event, company or team. Often clients have a brief or budget to work with but other times they know exactly what they want. Either way, QTCo will provide absolute quality, value, service and attention to detail.
