MERCHANDISE IN ACTION WITH X FACTOR !

We love it when brands go that extra branding mile to create a little X Factor to grab people’s attention, to really stand out from the crowd while exhibiting or involved in promotional activity. Wild Thang think this is a fine example that is covering a number of physical branding elements, branded uniforms, printed merchandise, literature & signage which is all creating a high profile impact and really setting the brand tone with a colour co-ordinated approach.

You may ask why undertake this type of physical branding, well the simple reason is if done well it works & is backed up by lots of market research. In this image alone we can see branded uniforms, shirts, lanyards, printed promotional incentive giveaways plus co-ordinated literature & signage.  Never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing or competitions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat.

We have full research available on request that shows that branded clothing, merchandise & print can give you equal or a better return than any other form of advertising media. We hope that this gives you a little inspiration & please remember if you want the X Factor we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise and print advice! #MerchandiseInAction Why not have a look at the 1000’s of products that are available create that best possible  physical branding.

Wild Thang proud to donate warm clothing to the homeless as temperatures fall.
Wild Thang proud to donate warm clothing to the homeless as temperatures fall.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, MD at Wild Thang commented: “Wild Thang are proud to have made this donation and are sure every little counts, It’s this time of year that our thoughts turn to those most in need when the weather takes a turn for the worse for vulnerable homeless people, especially when having to deal with freezing temperatures. That’s exactly why we donated a sizable amount of clothing including jackets, hoodies and hats to the Cotton Street Homeless Project and Whitechapel Homeless Centre which will hopefully keep a number of people safe and warm this winter. As part of the companies charitable fundraising the staff Christmas Jumper day held prior to the festive break raised over £200 which will be split between these two great organisations. We encourage others to get involved as the more people/companies/organisations involved in trying to make an impact the better the outcome will be, which is ultimately all focused on trying to eradicate homelessness in the Liverpool City Region for good.”

SHOWCASE CAMPAIGN WORLD CLASS MERCHANDISE CO-OPERATION WITH THE CO-OP

Wild Thang love to showcase world class campaigns full of quality & creative branding clothing, merchandise and print with plenty of innovative ideas that will help give you a little inspiration. The brief for the UK Co-operative was to produce a relevant and innovative range of merchandise incentives to be sold as official merchandise both online and offline that would promote the world wide Co-operative movement, influence and engage individuals to get a real understanding of the benefits of being a co-operative and best practices when forming a co-operative.

This involved producing retail quality screenprinted t-shirts, printed pens, button badges, mugs and branded POS, pullup banners, exhibition display materials so this really did embody the full array of physical marketing collateral. A full branding, ecommerce & onsite sales solution was delivered to a world class standard & the feedback from both client and visitors was outstanding and the tangible benefits in true Co-operative style were that all profits made would be reinvested into the organisation.

CASE STUDIES

Wild Thang Branding Geek it could be bags of fun!
Wild Thang Branding Geek it could be bags of fun!

We just love living up to our nickname of a branding geek & have literally got bags of merchandise! Inspired by the fact that shopping like it or not is a big part of the Christmas festive season, did you know American and European patent applications relating to the production of plastic shopping bags can be found dating back to the early 1950s, but these refer to composite construction with handles fixed to the bag in a secondary manufacturing process.

The modern lightweight shopping bag is the invention of Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin. In the early 1960s, branded bags have come a long way since then with literally 1000’s of variations from a simple shopper to an executive leather laptop bag. Since the introduction of the 5p bag tax it would seem that bags for life and trendy cotton shoppers are the way forward when it comes to making a positive environmental impact which we all have a responsibility to take very seriously.

Statistics show variations of printed & embroidered bags are currently the most searched and purchased promotional merchandise products. If you would like to receive the 50 most searched promotional and corporate merchandise products just drop Wild Thang an email request. Please remember we are here to help with expert creative branded clothing merchandise and print advice. So why not take a look at the extensive range and literally bag yourself a bargain.
