Promotional products are an essential part of your marketing strategy and consumers still report feeling much more positive towards businesses that give them practical and desirable promotional gifts.

The benefits of working with an Irish company
Working with an Irish company will bring your business many benefits, including local expertise, cultural understanding and a commitment to excellence. We believe that selecting an Irish company such as Connect Promotions for all your promotional marketing needs will give you the following benefits:
1. Cultural context
When you’re looking for standout promotional products, you’ll want to find items that leverage the charm and authenticity of this unique place, and an Irish promotional products company will be able to do this for you. An Irish company will understand the products that will resonate with your audience and enable you to build on this cultural connection. When you’re sourcing products for a St Patrick’s Day campaign, for instance, would you really consider buying promotional products from anywhere else?
Anyone who has spent time in Ireland will recognise that it has a special history and cultural integrity, and there are many reasons to work with a promotional products company with local expertise. Our professional team can help you to understand the motivations and values of your target demographic and we can understand the impact that your promotional products will make.
2. Quality assurance
We understand that high quality promotional products reflect well on your brand and this is an important consideration whether you’re creating exclusive corporate gifts or cost effective trade show giveaways. Irish manufacturers have a great reputation for craftsmanship and excellence, and we are committed to sourcing promotional products that reflect this.
Young Irish professionals are a class of their own, and Ireland is a European hub for career development opportunities and quality talent. This is an important consideration when you are sourcing promotional gifts to connect with this demographic and working with experts in this area can help you to get it right.
3. Hands-on support
When you’re making marketing decisions and choosing promotional products for a range of events and purposes, it helps to work with experts who can guide you through the process. Having a local team that understands your context and can help you make the best choices for your business is invaluable, and our team will always be on hand to work with you from conceptualisation to delivery of your branded products.
4. Support your local economy
It is important to consider where you spend your marketing budget, and a socially conscious business will be looking for opportunities to support the local economy at every opportunity. Buying your promotional products from an Irish promotional products company means you will be able to choose from options that make the most of local producers and benefit other local businesses, which will put you ahead of the crowd and be a great choice for your reputation.
An example we love is to add local edible treats into your swag boxes for your new employees or your gift bags for conferences. This is a great way to celebrate your local heritage and support local producers, connecting with your Irish roots and giving your clients and employees a treat they can really appreciate. Ireland is a world-renowned hotspot for foodies, so this is the perfect way to embrace Irish excellence and working with an Irish promotional products company can help with the little touches like this that make all the difference.
5. Environmental considerations
Eco-friendly products lead the way in promotional marketing and products that are made with sustainable and recycled materials are increasingly popular with recipients. However, it is important to consider manufacturing and shipping processes when you are sourcing your promotional products, and choosing products that are made locally and do not need to be flown across the globe will be a more sustainable choice for your business and for the planet.
Of course, working with an Irish promotional products company doesn’t mean you will be restricted to local suppliers, as we can also source products worldwide to create the right impact for every occasion. Having the option to support local suppliers and engage with your heritage and culture, however, can be extremely attractive to your employees and clients and put your business streets ahead of the competition.
