2011 Fashion Forecast

February 17, 2011

In a world where target audiences are ever younger and always in the know, it’s important to stay on top of the hottest trends so you can deliver a promotional product that will be appreciated by your recipients. It’s New York Fashion Week and the newest avant-garde styles are hitting catwalks. But what’s popular with the everyday customer? If you’re looking at clothing to promote your brand – whether it’s a corporate gift, uniform or event giveaway – here are some of the hottest trends for the style-conscious.

VINTAGE: The vintage look has been all the rage for a few years now, and it’s not going anywhere. Customers love the soft feel of washed fabric and the burnout look of a shirt that’s been around for a while. Unique imprints will also be embraced by your audience – just take a look at popular online t-shirt vendors. Of course the perfect colors for these types of shirts and hoodies are heathered shades and washed-out colors… (more…)

Build Traffic, Bring Customers to Your Trade Show Booth

January 26, 2011

It’s that time of year again: trade shows are popping up all over the place and now is the perfect time to consider the best booth items for your target audience.

It is always good to plan ahead once you know the exact date of your trade show, so that you can order specialty products early and receive the items well ahead of the show. Then, you’ll be sure you got what you expected and there weren’t any problems. When you order custom items with Bankers, we’re happy to help you resolve issues.

Remember, pre-show items – products sent before the show to build anticipation – can be the best use of your money. (more…)

What’s a QR Code?

December 14, 2010

A QR Code is essentially a bar code, and it’s becoming more and more prevalent in advertising and marketing campaigns.

It’s a black and white square with a special construct that allows it to store data like URLs or text. Short for “Quick Response,” QR codes can be scanned by a cell phone, which immediately accesses the information stored inside. QR scanners, mobile phones with cameras and smartphones are all capable of reading the codes, which can load a text, URL or other data.
