An Effective Alternative to Costly Television Advertising Campaigns

There are many ways for companies to advertise their products or services, but advertising can be an expensive outlay, particularly for small- to medium-sized businesses. However, larger companies know the benefit of using the media to get their name out there.


TV Advertising

Television advertising is a powerful way to get a message across to a target audience, and it would appear that estate agency Savills has decided that this is the best method for them. Viewers of the popular ITV drama Victoria may have noticed the appearance of adverts for Savills during the break over the past weekend.

In March, Alison Dean who is the company's head of consumer marketing said that she was looking into a number of film-based promotions for Savills; these adverts confirm that she has chosen to use television advertising.


Ad Campaign

The Savills ad campaign began with House Unfaithful and Mancave, both of which are being employed by the company to celebrate the relationship that people have with their homes depending on the stage of life they are at. The ads were the brainchild of isobel, a creative agency, and the plan is for these to run for eight weeks.

As part of the campaign, there will also be a number of digital and print additions, which are designed to show "the firm's in-depth market knowledge, UK wide coverage, an international network, and exceptional negotiating skills".

Ms Dean said, "We are incredibly ambitious for the business and recognise the need to be nimble in a changing market. Our new campaign is a key part of driving future success, using an approach that is tried and tested in other retail and service sectors. We are out to challenge both the status quo in the market and preconceived ideas of who and what Savills is. The TV commercials are just the beginning."



Alternative to TV Advertising

While television advertising is highly effective, there are much cheaper options that small- and medium-sized businesses should consider. If your company has a limited budget for advertising, you can use promotional products to increase your brand awareness. Our range includes:

Lanyards
Mobile Phone Accessories
Silicone Wristbands
Multifunctional Headwear
Head and Wrist Sweatbands

Here at Ribbonworks, we know the power of advertising, but we also know that it is not always necessary to spend a small fortune to achieve your marketing goals. With printed promotional items, you can easily advertise your products and services for very little outlay.

Businesses Urged to Steer Clear of Cheap Promotional Products Imported from Overseas

Promotional products are an effective way to advertise a business, particularly at trade events. Nevertheless, trading standards bosses are warning that companies importing cheap goods as promotional products could be putting people in danger.


Unsafe Products

The trading standards team at Leicestershire County Council have advised that some businesses are purchasing unsafe products that they are then selling on to other companies so they can be used as promotional items. These products include electric travel adaptors and sunglasses that do not have UV protection. These items could pose a risk to personal safety, and companies are being urged not to buy them.


Safe Promotional Products

Here at Ribbonworks.co.uk, we have a range of top quality promotional products at very affordable prices. If you want cost effective products such as lanyards, card holders, mobile phone accessories and sweatbands printed with your company logo for use at business events, contact us today for a competitive quote. We are a reputable supplier, and your satisfaction is our number one priority.

Can You Effectively Advertise Without Spending a Small Fortune?

Advertising is an important aspect of running any business as it helps to create brand awareness, which, in turn, can lead to increased profits. But advertising can be very expensive and as well as this it is evolving all the time. In fact, the UK's first 4DX-enabled cinema ad is about to be launched by Xbox, which aims to give cinema-goers a more immersive experience than regular advertising on the big screen.


What is 4-D Cinema?

4-D cinema is an entertainment system designed to combine 3-D film with physical effects that are synchronised with the movie. It means that viewers may experience vibrating chairs, sprays of water and gusts of wind while watching a movie. It provides for a more engaging experience and is popular with cinema-goers who want to feel more involved in the movie.

Now it would seem that businesses can see the potential of 4-D advertising. To this end, Xbox is promoting the release of Forza Horizon 3, its new car racing game, with an ad that will give viewers an experience they will not forget in a hurry.



A Virtual Experience

Viewers can expect to experience vibrating seats, fog, water sprays, gusts of wind, and various scents as they watch the advert on the big screen, which will showcase footage of the game. This sixty-second virtual experience will delight audiences and could pave the way for even more businesses taking advantage of the power of 4-D advertising.

The Forza Horizon 3 advert was created by CRAFT and McCann London, and it will feature in six Cineworld cinemas across the country. Cinemas with 4DX-enabled screens in Glasgow, Crawley, Milton Keynes, Stevenage, Ipswich, and Sheffield will run the add in their Gold Spot premium position.


A World of Possibilities

Cinema-goers planning to watch films including Ben Hur, Suicide Squad and The Magnificent Seven can expect to see the ad this weekend. There will also be a 2-D version of the ad showing on non-4DX-enabled cinema screens.

CEO of Digital Cinema Media Karen Stacey said, "When 4DX first launched in cinemas in the UK last year, it opened a whole new world of possibilities for brands advertising in the space. DCM is now proud to have worked with our partners to bring this superb innovation to the ad reel, and Forza Horizon is the perfect fit for the technology."


Advertising on a Limited Budget

4-D advertising will not be suitable for everyone, however. In most instances, the cost associated with this type of advertising platform will be astronomical, and one that will suit large corporations only.

Nevertheless, there is a very effective form of advertising available for companies with a limited budget for advertising, and this involves the use of promotional products. Promotional products include:

Lanyards
Mobile Phone Accessories
Silicone Wristbands
Multifunctional Headwear
Head and Wrist Sweatbands

These affordable products can help to spread the word about a business and its products or services. At Ribbonworks.co.uk, we can provide you with a competitive quote for any of our top quality products.

Smart Uses for Lanyards - Takeaway Menus

Lanyards may seem like a simple piece of equipment, but they are not. There are so many uses these items are good for. If you own a restaurant or an eatery, think about attaching them to takeaway menus. Studies have shown that these are a great way to boost sales.

There are many problems the average owner of a restaurant faces. Printing costs for menus can become prohibitive, and so you are likely searching for a way to reduce those costs. We offer solutions that can help you to boost sales and reduce those printing costs.



Boosting Sale with Lanyards

To begin with, one of the best ways of boosting sales is to create miniaturised versions of your menus and giving them out with lanyards. Lanyards are fantastic promotional items that can take away from a dull and boring menu. There are lots of attachment options to choose from, and we have many of them available should you decide to purchase a custom lanyard. Just let us know what you want.

You can even upgrade your lanyards with customised luxury options. What we would recommend to an owner of a restaurant is a badge holder. You can easily keep a folded menu inside the plastic pocket to prevent it from becoming frayed.

The Concept of a Gift


What you have to remember is that every piece of material you put out creates a certain impression among customers. These are not just informative; they are gift items. People are naturally more careful with such items because when they look at them, they see something that has been crafted. Great care has been taken in their manufacture.

But to make the most of one of these lanyards, you have to have a firm purpose in mind. Craft your marketing campaign before you begin placing your order. We may be able to help you with ideas and a bulk discount if you order in sufficient numbers.

The extra costs associated with lanyards can pay off in the long-term because you are demonstrating that you are a cut above all the other eateries in your area. In an industry that is so competitive, you need to take any edge you can get.

Get Started Today

Creating a custom lanyard for your company is a time-consuming process. You may even want to hire a professional designer to help you come up with some basic ideas. But we will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you get the custom lanyard you want.

Do not underestimate the power these promotional items can bring. Consider implementing them during a special offer period, so you can test the waters and see how your clientele reacts to them.

It pays to get started right away, before one of your competitors gets a jump on you. Start thinking about your custom lanyard designs and then get in touch with us. We will do our best to help you achieve your goals.

A Wonderful Use for Lanyards

There are many uses for lanyards, especially when it comes to holding identification badges. Large corporations often provide staff with ID badges and custom printed lanyards to hold them, and these badges can also be used by staff to access certain areas of the building. Different badges may be provided to visitors that will prevent them accessing secure or sensitive areas of the premises.

Astute businesses know that lanyards are not only a useful item but they are also great in terms of creating brand awareness. These lightweight and inexpensive items can be branded with company logos so that whenever staff are out and about, the company name will regularly be exposed to potential new customers.



A Unique Use for Lanyards

Lanyards are not only great in terms of promotion, but they are also a useful tool when it comes to the health and safety of customers. In fact, Gatwick Airport launched a new lanyard-based initiative to aid passengers with hidden disabilities and conditions back in May 2016.

The voluntary lanyard is provided to passengers who might not have noticeable conditions but who may still require additional assistance when travelling. The discrete sign alerts staff to the fact that certain passengers may benefit from support and help. Despite the new initiative being launched, airport chiefs were keen to point out those passengers requiring extra support could also continue to approach members of staff if they needed help. The lanyard is entirely voluntary. It is expected that other transport networks across the UK will adopt a similar system if the Gatwick project is a success.

Greater Awareness

The voluntary lanyard system for those with hidden disabilities and conditions came about after a collaboration between officials at Gatwick Airport and a number of charities in the UK, including The National Autistic Society, Alzheimer's Society and Action on Hearing Loss.

The aim of the project is to create an understanding of the challenges that those with hidden disabilities can face when travelling. It is hoped that people will become more aware and will do more to help where they can.

The lanyard alerts staff to the fact that some passengers may, for example, need extra time for preparation at security or could need additional time in order to process specific information. It is also a discreet sign that passengers need to be with their family or might need staff to use clear signs and verbal language to be understood.

Customised Lanyards


Here at Ribbonworks, we think the idea of using lanyards to provide a discreet sign to staff is fantastic. Our lanyards are made from top quality materials and are available in a range of styles and colours. If you would like more information on our products and services, contact us here at Ribbonworks today.
