There’s a lot more to come but for now you can register your interest at the VB Warnie website. Stay tuned or check after the jump for more launch images.

I can’t really argue with Coke, Apple, Macca’s and Nike but I’m not so sure about Playboy and the hanging Pine tree car freshener??

Here is another unconventional article on promotional schwag that looks at the greatest moments in promotional product history. It’s a Wired article so it’s a little US-ish.

The sole focus is around the iBar at the moment, check it out on the 808south website.

Anyway, the awards were handed out very briskly this year. We took out 2 pyramids again only this time there was no platinum. Boony and Beefy were out done by some red nosed wombats. Come to think of it, there weren’t many awards handed out that didn’t end up in wombat paws.

Well done guys! You know who you are.

Well done to the guys here as well for our 2007 pyramids:

Bronze - HP ‘Back To Work’
Gold - VB ‘Boonanza - Battle of the Tashes’

We’re told switching channels is effortless with Remobeads simply press lightly over the glowing beads and you’re right there pondering how much longer they can possibly keep Big Brother running. Kind of like what you’re doing now I hear you say? Well does your remote control play mantras as you channel surf? Yeah that’s right:

“As an option you can add a sound - enjoy listening to your favourite mantras while switching the channels.”

Now before you go clicking off to order one, this doesn’t appear to be on the market yet, no information as to prototypes etc. but there’s a patent pending.

Great design and the option of programming TV Network logos straight into the orbs could be appealing but why stop there? I’d like to see a graphic for upcoming shows pop up in the orbs in real time, a live TV guide if you like.

Inspired by a term that’s being thrown around with it’s fair share of negative light in the promotional products industry and an upcoming self promotion campaign, we thought we’d do something. We set up brandslappers.com. And by set up we mean that we’ve registered the domain name, uploaded an image, set up a basic inbox and written this post. We still don’t know what the hell we’re going to do with it. The term brandslapper has a good ring to it though, maybe we should change our whole company name to brandslappers. If you have any ideas, we’d love to hear them or read them…

I’ve always been a fan of this Moo thing and I can’t have been happier with the quality of the cards I printed early this year but I didn’t give much thought to how a service like this could be taken beyond D.I.Y business cards and thank you notes and put to genuine use in a promotional or trade show environment where perhaps the need for individually coded cards is greater. I guess being in the industry though, we’ve always had the benefit of local expertise here that could fill our requirements just as well whether for ourselves or a client. But if you’re not in the industry and have some time, you could give it a shot yourself.

This might seem a little self-cannibalistic of us but it really is a relatively easy process and one worth sharing. Addega.com have managed to create their own uniquely coded invites for their social wine discovery project. If you have a similar requirement or an event that requires serial numbered cards, read their post - How to make unique Moo invite cards.
