Mad as a March Hare


Don't you just love that first flash of spring? The colourful flowers, baby animals, branded pens? (the onset of March Hare madness perhaps). This week we have been mostly talking about pens, in all shapes, sizes and colours. Did you know that the first patent for a ballpoint pen was issued on October 30, 1888, to John J. Loud, who was a leather tanner? Well you do now.

If, like us, you're currently in a 'pen' place, then start by thinking:
  1. Which features of your company do you need to promote - the logo, a website address, a telephone number, a tag line etc. 
  2. Will these details be engraved, embossed, stickered or printed on? 
  3. Is it destined to be a disposable piece or a treasured and coveted prize? 
Of course we can help you with all these decisions, so don't be shy in giving us a call if you're stuck. "Will it brand?" is our favourite question.

Horace said that "the pen is the tongue of the mind" and by jove our clients brains have been chatty in recent weeks. We've been so pen happy that we've started a new Pinterest board - to inspire and delight. We'd also love to hear about your favourite writing implement so do drop us a line, leave a wee comment or send us a photo. Perhaps it's time for a revival of the chubby stick crayon......

Halloween treats that will leave everyone screaming for more!

The little girl thought briefly, took a deep breath and then recited: “One dark cold October night, Three little witches gave you a fright. One was in red, and one was in green, And the third one was screaming ‘It’s Halloweeeeeeeeeeen!’” Traditionally Halloween was celebrated by the Celts. It marked the end of summer and the harvest-time with the beginning of the darker winter months. The Celts believed that this point in the year was also when the worlds of the living and dead interacted with one another, and ghosts returned to earth to cause mischief and mayhem. These days Halloween is an altogether more commercial event. Parents now purchase elabor

Bespoke gifts, handmade with love

Rhona Hartley’s Heart Chunks. All photos: Copyright © Rhona Hartley, 2018. All rights reserved. When I’m not looking for exciting promotional gifts to brand for my clients, I adore getting all creative. And with Valentine’s Day almost upon us, that creativity is currently being channelled into my Heart Chunks. These are a little gift idea that I developed a few years ago, when I took a sabbatical to work with an up-cycling business and kickstart my artistic interests again. I start by finding an appropriate piece of wood – it can be any size or type – which I then lovingly sand down. Next I paint a heart or two directly on the wood, before applying wax as a protective layer. Recently I’ve modified the design by adding wee cowrie shells, that I collect during walks on my local beach, to the heart shape. I love the different colours that their exteriors provide and the variation in texture they add.  Thanks to the materials and colours that I choose, each handmad

A bespoke seasonal gift that doesn’t cost a fortune

Photo Copyright: Rhona Hartley I’m always surprised when people say to me “But I thought corporate gifts died after the Millennium!” I smile and tell them that branded gifts are very much alive and well. There will always be a time, in the life-cycle of every organisation, when it suddenly finds a need for branded merchandise or requires personalised incentives to reward staff achievements. Often the next statement I hear is “But we can just go online to find what we need.” True. You can. But ask yourself will the items you select be original, appropriate and have longevity? Probably not. That’s why my clients come to Branding Up . They recognise my ability to think creatively, value my wealth of product knowledge, and rely on me to deliver to their time and budget constraints. To demonstrate all these points, here’s a little example of what I’m talking about. I noticed that a UK high street retailer - the one that’s all magic and sparkle - is promoting its corporate gifts th
