Business Pens

Why waste your budget on handing out expensive, matte flyers that are likely to be crumpled and thrown away, or putting up glossy promotional posters that will be irrelevant once your event is over?

Those publicity materials are, more often than not, regarded as ‘physical spam’ thrust into your hands by an eager salesperson.  In today’s troubled economy, brands and businesses are better off publicising themselves with useful items that won’t break the bank.

Thus, business pens (which are pens customised with your brand’s logo and information such as your website or contact number) are an excellent way to boost your brand, and here are some reasons why.

1)      Consumer Appeal

People are more likely to accept a business pen as opposed to other promotional material (such as brochures or stickers, which are often tossed into the nearest bin) as it is an everyday item that can be used for work, school, or personal projects.  As a pen’s lifespan is determine by the amount of ink it holds, a tip would be to order the sort with the tri-colour ink option – it will last for much longer and will not hurt your pocket.  This is because it is highly unlikely that they will dispose of your company’s business pen until the ink runs out – and by then, their exposure to your brand has been on a consistent, almost daily basis, which is more than enough to make a lasting impression.

2)       Cheap Cost to Create

Pens are incredibly cheap to customise into business pens. They are excellent advertising material for your company, and cost next to nothing when compared to the profits you will earn through the consistent exposure.  Just imagine this – a full page, coloured advertisement in the local newspaper is likely to cost your business thousands of dollars, and that is how much it costs per day to run your ad.

On the other hand, a business pen with your company’s logo, tagline (a very brief summary of the services you provide), contact information, and main website portal, will cost you significantly less, and still publicise your business effectively.  Instead of an advertisement that, on a tight budget, can only run for one day in the newspaper, it can be used by your target consumers again and again, reinforcing brand recognition.

3)       It’s Easy to Get!

Other forms of publicity (such as advertisements, commercials, websites etc) usually require you to hire outside expertise, such as commercial directors, talents, webmasters, advertising agencies and the like.  When you choose to use business pens to promote your brand, the companies providing these pens may have an in house designer whose services are at your disposal.  Even if they don’t, more often than not all you have to do is determine the colour of the pen, how your company’s information will be placed on it, the quantity you need, and voila, you will soon have your own powerful publicity tool, all in the form of a humble business pen!

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are glazed clay tiles that come in all shapes and sizes.  They are also available in an assortment of colours and textures (marbled, granite, and so much more).   Thus, using them wisely in and around your home can really brighten up your living space.

So here are a few simple craft ideas using ceramic tiles that you can undertake in your spare time to create a really striking effect for your home.  And don’t worry – contrary to popular belief, D-I-Y projects do not need to involve large amounts of money or take up huge amounts of time.  All you need is some patience, an assortment of tiles, a generous quantity of ceramic glue, and you’re good to go!

1)      Funk Up Your Frames

If your door or window frame is of the usual plain brown wood variety, or just needs some redecoration work, funk it up with some ceramic tiles!   It will give your home’s interior a whole new look with minimum effort.  However, be sure to measure the width of the frame and buy ceramic tiles that are of a similar width so they do not overlap onto door and have a messy, jagged appearance.

Just pick a cheerful colour that will brighten up the surroundings – like fire engine red or turquoise – and use ceramic glue to attach the individual ceramic tiles on the frame of your doorway or window.  You can use the same tiles all over for a uniform, minimalistic note, or intersperse a whole rainbow of tiles together for a very groovy, bohemian feel.  With the wide range of ceramic tiles available in the market, the options are endless!

2)      Terrific Tabletops

Why spend obscene amounts of money on a readymade mosaic table top when you can achieve the same effect with some ceramic tiles and ceramic glue?  Just get a whole assortment of ceramic tiles in different colours for a beautiful, colourful mosaic effect.

But before you start doing over your table, be sure to have a rough idea of how you want to place the tiles as the overall effect is greatly dependent on initial planning and the shape of your table.   A few ideas include smaller circles within bigger circles that radiate outwards, or a giant asterisk shape.  Lightly trace the shape that you want in pencil so that you can stick the tiles along them a guide.  Or if you like a more random, haphazard appearance, carefully break the ceramic tiles, and carefully handle the bigger pieces when you stick them on patches of ceramic glue – in this instance, work on a small area first before proceeding to decorate the whole tabletop.

When you are done, it is advisable to purchase a clear glass top that covers the top of your table, as it will prevent your ceramic tile pattern from being damaged or dislodged by everyday use.   Happy experimenting and creating gorgeous looks for your home with ceramic tiles!

With Christmas around the corner, it’s time to take out the crystal, dust the chandeliers and put up the tree!  However, in light of the recession and economic crunch, holidaymakers everywhere have had to cut back on Christmas spending.   When a large chunk of your budget is devoted to buying gifts for your friends and family, as well as on your festive feasting, it is hardly surprising that less and less is being spent on home decorations.

But with a little improvisation and a few inexpensive items, wonders can be wrought!  Today, I will highlight a few ways to use brandy glasses to decorate your home for the festive season, add to your interior decor scheme, and other ways of using them in your home.

1)       As festive lights

Fill several brandy glasses with water until they are about a quarter full.  Then light a few tea lights and put one in each glass carefully.  The flame from the tea lights will reflect off the water and cause the glass to glimmer and sparkle beautifully.  You can also add small flowers into the glass, such as orchids, and use the glass as your table’s centrepiece.  Another option is to slip a small mistletoe garland around the glass, tie a braided length of red and green ribbon around it, or twirl silver tinsel around the stem of the glass.

2)       As dinnerware

Brandy glasses don’t just have to hold drinks – they can be used to hold food as well!   Here are a few examples of the sort of food you can place in them. You can fill a quarter of the glass with mayonnaise, before placing shrimps, and celery sticks in it for a delicious shrimp salad.  The glasses can also be used to hold dessert – a fuss free option would be to crush Oreo cookies in a bowl, before spooning it into the glass and topping it with ice cream and chocolate sprinkles.

3)       As decorative pieces

You can fill brandy glasses with small, multicoloured glass beads and use them as table   centrepieces.  Other options include chunks of cheap crystal, layers of coloured sand (or          coloured rice – it’s amazing what you can do with food dye!), and solid coloured glass marbles.            Be creative, and let your imagination go wild – great table centrepieces can make for             conversation fodder or can create an interesting topic to break the ice among your guests.

4)       As snack holders

Fill your brandy glasses to the brim with candies, gummy bears, M&Ms, or miniature peppermint canes!  Not only will they look lovely, but your guests will have lots of fun dipping into them and finding their favourite snack.  You can either leave them lying around the house where they can act as decorative pieces (but be sure to put the base of the glass in a small dish of water to avoid ants), or carry them around by the stem from group to group as you offer the nibbles to your guests.
