Personalised mugs

Be honest, how often have you stepped into work and your first thought has been coffee? A sip of the good stuff to relieve your heavy eyelids, and help get your head in gear for the upcoming day. Don't worry you aren't alone here, which is why mugs are the perfect printed product for any business - they can take you from snoozing on a Monday morning to - fully prepared and already scoring!

To be productive, you need to stay hydrated (and awake) so having the utensils to do so is simply practical. Think about it, your drink of choice will likely be in a mug on your desk for the whole day; it'll be the mental jog that reminds you to drink consistently, and possibly even the object your eyes fixate on when your mind starts to wonder. They are completely functional, meaning they are instantly cost-effective. This doesn't only have to apply to you, since business partners and professionals that visit, or potential employees that arrive for interviews will be offered a drink. Having a cohesive collection of personalised mugs speaks leaps and bounds to your guests. Not only can it display your logo or a custom design, but it also demonstrates to them that the workforce behind your business has an eye for details; leaving them with a good impression and you a thumbs-up.
Personalised photo mugs are also an inexpensive way to generate positive reinforcement around the office. It could be something as simple as printing the 'employee of the month's face on their own personalised coffee mug or commemorating a business milestone on a set of cups. Not only is this a nice reminder of the previous successes, but the additional motivation for celebrations still to come; it could even become a company tradition! Remember, you'll not be promoting your brand, when you've got a custom mug in your hand!

Savvy tips for personalised cups you might be missing out on!

Can you recall the number of people you’ve seen with a coffee cup in their hand this past week? Probably not, there are just too many and almost everyone likes a good morning coffee. Still, it’s like a personal statement; you’ll meet many a person that will gladly walk around with visibly branded coffee chain cups. There’s no shame in this, as it highlights that consumers are often happy to advertise a brand. Printed custom cups can benefit from this, which will help to promote a product or service. Custom coffee cups are more likely to be taken along to the office, where they will be noticed before it is thrown away. Largely because having a drink is often a social activity, it encourages conversation and engagement; generating a response. This form of word-of-mouth can work wonders for raising business awareness, as ‘freebies’ with your message can be easily distributed to a diverse range of people. Unlike pamphlets that are often avoided, free coffee with a personalised cup feels more like a friendly gesture, especially to employees that start the day early.

Keep in mind, printed cups are like travelling billboards (only smaller) that will accompany a person on the train or bus, to their job, gym, or school; providing a welcome distraction to anyone along the trip.

If you are looking for an inexpensive and unique way to share your brand, at a small cost, printed cups are an effective investment. Not only can it brighten someone’s working week, but it also reaches various places; not attracting customers with flashy sales pitches, but a good feeling instead!
