All the more reason to make your brand stand out by having it printed on to promotional mugs when everyone takes on all their extra fluids in the summer sun.

In particular, Acrylic printed mugs are an ideal option for when people are out and about in the summer months.

They are also vailable in a wide range of colours including black, blue, clear, green, red, white and yellow! These printed mugs are also available as recycled mugs which are white and a recycled classic acrylic mug which is black.

As an alternative to the open topped acrylic mugs, you could opt for thermo mugs instead which have a swivel lid which is equally adept at holding cold and hot drinks (of course not at the same time)! These mugs are also available in a range of styles including brushed metal!

The greenest of promotional mugs

When you want to spread your message in both a mass market farmat but with the backbone of an ecologically minded method then you can't go far wrong with Recycled Acrylic Mugs. These great cost effective promotional mugs have proven themselves to be among the more popular printed products on the market at the moment with people becoming ever more mindful of the environment even in these challenging times.

Summer promotional mugs

With summer coming this way ever more quickly, it's worth considering how your message is going to appear to the public on corporate gift in the open and in closed environments too. The summer season presents many opportunities for photgraphers to capture some fantastic images around the country. These is one of many reasons why photo mugs sales tend to increase at this time of year.

As promotional gifts go, printed mugs are always very popular, however, the most effective one for demonstrating colour and imagery is by far and away the Photo Mug. Last summer there were many promotional flags being handed out by a local radio station along with other items but as ever, the most popular items were promotional mugs and printed pencils. Photo Mugs can be printed with a full colour digital print which can be wrapped all round the mug.

Whether it be indoors or outdoors, certain products retain their credibility and so serve well as effective giveaways for spreading a message for a campaign or similar, far and wide.

Promotional mugs that won't spill...really?!

Well, ok, generally any open top mug will spill its contents if tipped over or dropped but there are a couple of printed products that will offer you the ability to retain your drink without it going everywhere. These include printed thermo mugs and drinks bottles. Here are some details about these products for you to consider when buying promotional mugs...

500ml drink bottles provide you with a durable and cost effective tool for promoting sporting clubs, events and education. They have a large print area within which to display your message and logo and there are several variations around which you can plan your campaign. There are some printed mugs which are more mug-based in styling but are still unlikely to let you spill you beverage - these are of course thermo mugs which have a twist on/off lid with an openable hatch built in to allow you to drink your drink on the move. This is just one great reason why commuters use them. Any company with the fore-thought to consider the potential of these products is wise because they are utilising their staff to convey their message when on the move to or from the place of work.

A promotional mug for the ladies?

We're all made differently and often it is the case that women are slightly smaller than men so this may well be a reason why Lincoln Mugs have proved to be such successful and popular promotional products with the fairer sex.

Their slim line design and classic styling make them attractive printed mugs when emblazoned with a company brand and message or corporate I.D. Available in 3 colours; black, white and midnight blue, these durable yet classically deisgned mugs combined with their more sophisticated colour range make for a truer feeling or class.

Not all promotional mugs are ceramic!

Promotional mugs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, some tall and slim and some short and stout but there's a common theme - they all retain liquid. Some insulating thermo mugs have a curved exterior and are purpose built to keep drinks warm or cool and there are other various shapes and designs available for this product too. If you're looking for more specific items for a specific location such as a club or restaurant then you may be more after items more along the lines of shot glasses, tankards and latte glasses.

However, if you're finding it particularly hard to decide which glass would be best for you then please feel free to contact one of our knowledgeable sales team who'll be able to point you in right direction towards the ideal product that matches your specific requirements.

Something for your promotional mugs, Sir?

Well it's not quite "something for the weekend" but when you're taking five and drinking from your promotional mugs, are you aware that people are looking at what you're drinking from. They can't help but notice what's printed on the mug and it'll stick in their heads, at least for a little while. Why not make extra use of these fantastic promotional products by making sure that they're accompanied by printed coasters.

There are a variety of promotional coasters available at the moment including vinyl coasters, acrylic coasters and pulp beer mats (a real pub favourite). With the different types available there are different advantages. For example, pulp beer mats are by definition made from pulp and so are an eco friendly option because whilst they will have a limited lifespan (due to their composition they'll sometimes get soggy due to spillages) they are quite hard wearing but cost effective. Vinyl coasters are available in a range of shapes and are a smart shiny finish that is durable. Acrylic coasters are very hard-wearing and can make for a good investment with the ability to have a full colour two-sided print contained within the plastic outer shell.

There are many other varieties to chose from, each with their merits so why not have a browse at hotline.co.uk and see what else is available to display your brand.

Keeping warm with thermo mugs

The snow is gone but the cold is still here so it's a great opportunity to promoted your business with promotional printed thermo mugs. The great range of mugs available ensures that is a style to suit every circumstance. One of these promotional products that you can really cause a stir with are the chic Thermo Mugs from hotline.co.uk. If the office does happen to warm up at all, then you can rely on printed thermo mugs to keep your drink cool as well - it works both ways!

Promotional thermo mugs come in a variety of colours including amber, black, dark blue, green, pink, purple, red and white. There's a colour to match every corporate identity. These insulated mugs can hold up to 450ml of liquid and come with an ergonomically designd handle for maximum comfort. Perfect for 'on the go' drinking! Oh by the way, did I mention the print can wrap around the mug too which make them great promotional products where your logo can be seen from every direction.

The alternative to promotional mugs

Everybody loves promotional mugs, you can't get enough of them. They are useful in so many ways as well as the obvious, but there's a glitch! What do you do is you're on the go and it's impractical to carry your drink in a printed mug with an exposed top. The options are clearer than you may think. Many commuters use thermal mugs to keep their drinks warm on the journey in to work, though not many use the opportunity to promote themselves at the same time. For instance, if your logo was printed all the way round on promotional thermo mugs then eveybody would see it and it can do nothing but help brand awareness.

If you're of a more sporty disposition or it is an integral part of your job then you can always go for promotional sports bottles or printed drinks bottles. The use of the these branded promotional items could even generate leads and interest if the design is good. What are you waiting for...?

Digitise your message with full colour print photo mugs

Ever wanted to show show logo and message in a more powerful way and really demonstrate what your company or organisation is really about? You could go for billboards and bus stop adverts or even go the whole hog and go for radio or television advertising but these formats will only really have the required impact for a limited period as they are soon bypassed and erased from the memory by the next advert. That's where promotional products come in.

If you want to keep your message displayed permanantly and kept visible to everybody, then you really need to consider Photo Mugs as a viable alternative to the highly expensive methods previously mentioned. Your message can can wrapped all the way around the mug (bar the handle area) and spans virtually the whole height of the mug. You aren't limited to one or two colours either when you place your order because with full colour digital printing it does exactly what it says on the can, it has your artwork printed in full colour all the way around.

What more could you ask for? It isn't just an advert, these promotional mugs are functional because they are real mugs and not toys and the print won't rub off either! They are proving to be a best seller so I'd make the most of your budget with this great form of cost effective publicity.
