Promo Tat of the Week!

Here at “Promo-tat” we want to draw your attention to the sad and sometimes funny supply of irrelevant promotional merchandise that exists in the world today. Merchandise that isn’t usually made in a very ethical way and makes it’s only lasting impression on the landfill site it ends up in, rather than the people it was intended to impress. We hope that by highlighting just how irrelevant some of this stuff is, the message will gradually filter through to those holding the purse strings.

So take a look at this month’s nominees, and vote for your favourite. It’s just a bit of fun, but the message is a serious one. Say no to “Promo-tat”!

This month's winner! You can’t really use it anywhere......

What say you

I'm right on this.... trinkets and trash... garbage with your logo on it. Keep twitting yo!

One more worthless bit of popup paper to throw away. Rubbish! I feel sure this is a conspiracy by the promotional companies to tat up our lives and the land-fields. I truly cannot believe anyone would send this to a client - what a lot of value they bring!!!

I can only assume that this pop-up cardboard waste-of-desk-space item was created by someone who has never received one in the post. It's more disappointing than getting a Tiny Tears for your 6th birthday, when what you really wanted was an Action Man tank.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, really. Who on earth would want any of this stuff? My vote definitely goes to the Mailer Pop-up. At least the others are pretending to be useful!

Mind boggling, a magnet that has to be glued to the wall, how do people think of these things! Promo-tat is a great initiative, I hope you manage to raise the standard of corporate gifting.

It makes me angry seeing this useless tat. Is anyone ever pleased to receive this stuff? Whoever approved the purchase of this in an organisation should stop wasting time and do something more creative with their money!

The pop-up thing looks utterly pointless - if I got this through the post it's not going to create a good impression in my mind. I can only imagine it having a detrimental impact on brand image.
