Top 10 gifts for commuters

by

The guidance on working from home recently changed and for many of us who’ve spent almost two years on and off attending virtual meetings from the kitchen table, that may mean getting out of our loungewear and back to the office. Others may be taking advantage of the hybrid models that many employers are now adopting.

Teams and Zoom have become the centre of millions of working days but many of us are looking forward to getting back to the office. What remote working and virtual meetings can’t replicate is the social environment of the office and the creativity that comes from being able to bounce ideas around in person, or the sheer convenience of being able to walk up to a colleague to ask a question and get an immediate answer.

Let’s remember the some of the advantages of travelling back to the workplace:

  • It helps to keep the work/life balance in check.
  • For those who walk (even for a section of their journey) or cycle, it’s a chance to get some fresh air and exercise.
  • For those on public transport or driving, it’s an opportunity to energise your mind with a podcast or favourite music, to take a mindful moment or (if not driving) find an uninterrupted chance to catch up on messages.

Yes, even commuting has its advantages!

If your staff are heading back to the workplace or taking a hybrid approach, Geiger has everything covered with our top 10 gifts for commuters.

Staying Connected in 2021

by

WFH-Pres

It’s not too late for us to say Happy New Year! 2021 is going to be a year of fresh challenges, approaches, and innovations. And what better way to make sure you’re prepared for it than getting you, your staff, and your client base kitted out with the most up-to-date, innovative tools?

At Geiger, we have the perfect solution for getting this done: kitting. It’s a great solution, wherever your customers and staff are at the moment.

Kitting is our simple, four-step process that allows you to increase brand awareness and brand loyalty while achieving incredible ROI. In short, you choose the components of a practical and innovative promotional gift set that we then personalise and deliver on your behalf.

Its design and contents are limited only by your imagination — although we’ve also got some brilliant, themed boxes to share with you — and we take care of all the logistics for you.

Why promotional merchandise stands out in a digital world?

The answer is simple — promotional merchandise is more effective than any other advertising medium when it comes to keeping you connected with your employees and customers.

In the age when customer will gladly pay to avoid advertising (as proven by the rise of Netflix, Spotify Premium, Youtube Premium etc), promotional media carries more impact than ever before.

Studies have shown that customers will remember and favour businesses and brands that provide them with practical promotional gifts.

Kitting for clients

The seemingly endless wealth of options consumers now have in all areas of life mean that brand loyalty is much harder to earn — and keep — than ever before.

It’s a crowded marketplace out there, but it can also feel quite impersonal sometimes, particularly when so many processes are automated.

This is where kitting comes in. You can make room for yourself if you show that you genuinely care and are willing to go the extra mile for your customers.

And there’s no better way of doing that than sending out personalised gift boxes that customers can put to good use. Check out our Tech kit, for example, which includes a webcam blocker, USB data blocker, and other great ways of keeping your personal data safe when online.

Kitting for staff

There are numerous reasons why this is a great move to make right now. For a start, practical sets such as our ‘Desk Essentials’ kit, with its variety of handy office tools, ensure that your business is continuing as normal with up-to-date, ethically-sourced resources. If you’re about to onboard any new starters, a ‘Welcome to the Team’ kit will function as a warm welcome and an ideal way to get them up-to-speed.

Secondly, it’s a great way of showing gratitude to your staff for their continued hard work — particularly if they’re juggling remote working with childcare and homeschooling at the moment. We’ve put together an amazing ‘Wellness’ kit with items to help people stay healthy and hydrated.

Kitting is an investment that will bring you a great payoff. A workforce that feels appreciated and looked after is much happier and more productive. However dispersed your team may physically be at the moment, such gestures will help to maintain a healthy and prosperous company culture.

How it works

Kitting is an easy, one-stop-shop process, with everything taken care of by Geiger at our facilities in West London, UK:

  • Select as many innovative items from our fantastic range as you like
  • The products are decorated and personalised however you want
  • A personal card or note can be put inside the box to say “thank you”, “welcome”…whatever you’d like to say!
  • The kits are then delivered by us to as many front doors as you need.

Whatever your vision, Geiger can make it a reality. If kitting sounds like the perfect way to get your year started, then reach out to one of our friendly team and let your brand be our inspiration.

Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions

by

New Year = New Focus

We are all looking forward to 2021 and saying goodbye to 2020. A new year always brings a sense of new beginnings and fresh opportunities, and this rings even truer this year.

With this in mind, now is the perfect time to begin planning for 2021 and getting those New Year’s Resolutions in place.

We have come up with our top 10 resolutions that can help you make 2021 a year to remember for all the right reasons. We have also got the ideal branded products for each one to help your clients and staff achieve their goals next year, while helping your brand make a greater impact.

1. Get Fit

Getting in shape is the most popular New Year’s Resolution of all – 47% of people say that they would like to exercise more in the new year. After our festive indulgences, we want to get back to feeling fresh and energised — and nothing beats exercise for that.

Keep track of your exercise with this activity tracker that counts your steps, distance covered, calories burned and records your sleeping pattern. The bracelet has a dynamic heart rate measuring function to improve your sport performance and a sensor to monitor your blood pressure and oxygen level.

2. Drink More Water

Often our working day can become so busy that we forget to do the most basic things, like drink enough water. Research has shown that even a body water loss of 1-2%, which is considered mild dehydration already, impairs cognitive performance and your general health. The NHS recommends that adults should drink around 1.2 litres of water a day.

We love this great selection of water bottles from our Impact collection where 2% of every bottle sold is donated to Water.org to change lives with safe water.

3. Eat Healthier

Improving our diets is one of the most common New Year’s Resolutions every year. But when you are having a hectic day, it’s very easy to skip lunch or grab whatever snacks you can on-the-go.

Preparation is key. A lunchbox can help you ensure that you have got healthy choices to hand. By preparing your meals at home, you can save time and money and take control of your diet!

This particular lunchbox is eco-friendly too as it’s made from bamboo and polypropylene.

4. Support charities and social causes

A little extra awareness in your choices can go a long way. This stylishly designed bag works with any outfit and is large enough to carry all your daily necessities.

It is made from recycled water bottles and it supports Plastic Bank: a social enterprise headquartered in Canada which aims to clean up plastic waste from our oceans while providing valuable opportunities for impoverished communities.

5. Get Organised

Staying on top of things can help minimise stress, keep our energies focused, and keep us feeling positive.

If getting organised and staying organised is on your list for 2021, then writing things down in a diary and/or on a calendar is a great starting place. Branded calendars and diaries also make very welcome gifts that guarantee year-round brand exposure!

6. Think more eco

It’s more important than ever to do our bit for the environment and this doesn’t have to be difficult. Every day, millions of plastic bottles are thrown away.

Thanks to growing demand, there are eco alternatives for so many everyday items such as this umbrella, made from 5 recycled PET bottles. Furthermore, umbrellas generate over 1,100 impressions over their lifetime, providing excellent exposure for your brand!

7. Read More or Listen to Audiobooks

Reading does marvellous things for your brain – it increases your vocabulary and comprehension, helps to prevent age-related cognitive decline and increases your ability to empathise. It can also reduce stress, and help you sleep better. Whatever your interest is, there is a book about it!

While we cannot always find the time to read, audiobooks are a great way to get the benefits of literature. Wear a pair of headphones during your exercise, or maybe connect to a Bluetooth speaker, and you can listen to anything from your favourite autobiography to Stephen Fry narrating Harry Potter.

8. Explore New Hobbies

Is there a hobby or pursuit you have always been interested in but never quite found the time to explore?

2021 is the year to go for it!  Interested in trying your hand at arts, cooking or a new sport?

Alternatively, why not improve your chess game with this set? This way you can improve your work-life balance, especially if working from home makes it hard to you to find that fine line.

9. Organise Your Mind

The increased awareness about mental health and wellbeing in recent years has been most welcome. Benefit from the clarity that calming and organising your mind brings, whatever your line of work. Journaling is an increasingly popular way of finding that clarity. This branded journal can help you to get your thoughts down on paper and get things off your chest. You might also uncover a great idea to take your brand to the next level.

10. Spend Less Time on Your Phone

We often find ourselves glued to our phones, even without meaning to. It starts with checking your email, then checking your LinkedIn and before you know it, you have been scrolling for an hour through your Instagram feed.

It is recommended that we spend no more than two hours per day on our phones, but even average users are scrolling for nearly five hours per day. A phone safe is a unique and brilliant way of getting screen-time down.

Making New Year’s Resolutions is easy, keeping them is hard. Around 80% of people give up on their resolutions, often within the first few weeks. Always focus on the positive outcome, remembering why you have made this commitment to yourself. The longer you stick with it, the more natural it will become. You will soon wonder how you have ever managed to get through the day with only 6 hours of sleep and 2 glasses of water!

And whatever your resolutions are, best of luck from #GeigerUKteam!
