Stress balls can help relieve many different kinds of stress. Whether they are just foam or containers filled with powder or gel, they relieve the physical stress that can afflict computer operators, assembly line workers, guitarists, or anyone involved in manual repetition. Stressballs can also help relieve mental stress. During a break from work you can relieve your tension by squeezing these balls, or use them to relax before an important meeting.
They are also excellent promotional gifts for companies wise enough to utilize them. They are an inexpensive yet high impact item that a business can hand out at trade shows, seminars, employees and customers. Stress toys are available in hundreds of standard shapes and can even be custom made in almost any shape. They are imprinted with a company logo and contact details and manufactured in the corporate colour. They are ordered in bulk to reduce the cost per item.
Just because they are called stress balls does not mean they have to come in the shape of a ball. Construction companies often order these in the shape of a house. Plumbing companies order them in the shape of a toilet or water droplet. A restaurant can order them in the shape of a steak, or perhaps a plate of pasta. Sports organizations will order them in the shape of their respective balls or equipment, such as a tennis racket.
As mentioned before, stress balls are available in a wide array of shapes and colours. When used as a promotional item they give your company a greatly increased awareness of your brand, products and services. Because they are often left on the desk of the recipient, they are a constant reminder of your company.
Can you think of a more efficient way to increase brand awareness? There are many things to consider when ordering them. At stressballs.co.uk we will ensure you get the best quality stress balls for your business at the lowest prices in the UK. All of our prices are trade prices and we have samples to back the quality of our popular stress products.

Hamburger Shaped Stress Balls – An In Depth Look At These Popular Promotional Gifts
January 23, 2010 at 2:29 pm | Posted in Food & Drink Stress Balls | Leave a commentTags: hamburger stress balls, promotional stress balls
Hamburger stress balls are most often used to promote diners and other popular restaurants. These fun stress toys offer a large print area on the top and bottom buns for your logo and details. In fact, they look better printed than many other stress ball shapes because the print area is so large at 40mm x 40mm. The size of the hamburger stress reliever stress ball is also perfect for the average adult hand size at 64mm x 54mm. Here I would like to tell you how three different businesses used these eye-catching promotional gifts.
The 50s Diner: In the UK, there is a very popular American style diner just off the A19. People drive an hour to get a taste of their famous burgers. The manager wanted to expand his business and began to look for promotional gifts that could help him do just that. He chose 50s style shorts sleeve dress shirts which he had embroidered with a hamburger and his diner name. He then ordered promotional pens and hamburger shaped stress balls. The pens and burgers were just printed with his logo and contact details. Each and every customer received a burger and pen after their meal for a month long promotion. Thereafter he sold the hamburger stressballs and embroidered shirts behind the counter and continued handing out the pens free of charge. The promotion and promotional gift sales were and still are a great success.
The Gym: A gym recently ordered 1000 stress ball burgers and took them around to houses near the gym with a New Years special offer. The burgers were printed with the Gym’s logo and the strapline “I am 800 calories, burn me off this month for free!” At that time of year, they would have got new customers anyway, but with the addition of the burger stress toy their campaign was more successful that any other previous promotion.
The Travel Agent: A travel agent in Darlington England used the hamburger stress balls to draw attention to a special offer they were holding to promote American holidays. They stacked them up in their front window printed with the logo and web address together with a banner promoting the low cost fly and drive holidays. Each customer that came into the office requesting details received a brochure and a stress ball so that they would go home dreaming of the American vacation.
At stressballs.co.uk, we offer many different food related shapes. We would be happy to send you samples of our top quality stress balls so that you can see first hand why we are the UK’s leading supplier of promotional stress balls.

The Secret To Trade Show Success is Motivation

Like so many of my customers who attend and exhibit at trade shows, I too find myself walking the floors of large exhibition halls quite often. Sometimes it is just to gather details of people and businesses who may benefit by using promotional gifts in their marketing or to get ideas for exhibiting that I can pass on to my customers. Other times, it is to attend promotional merchandise trade shows here in the UK, Europe, Hong Kong and the US. I recently returned from such an exhibition in Germany. It took me three days to get around all the exhibits in the six large halls. Why do I do it?
Well, I can assure you that it is not to see my normal suppliers. Understandably, they could see this as being rude with all the work they have put into their part of the show. I do not see it that way. If I am already dealing often with a company then I know who they are and what they do. I would not have the time to visit each supplier’s stand, have a chat and a coffee without missing a large part of the show. If they have a new promotion on or a new product to promote then it would be better for them to make an appointment to come see me at my office where we can sit down and I can give them my full attention.
I don’t go to see new stress ball shapes or a new line of promotional pens. Again, this is all information that can be sent to me through the post or shown to me at my own office. No, I go to the promotional merchandise shows for inspiration! I want to be knocked out by a new product that I know my customers will love. Unfortunately, this does not always happen but when it does my customers know about the product as soon as I get back to the office.
This does not mean that I purposely ignore my good suppliers. I will look at their stand and see if anything jumps out as interesting: Something that motivates me to stop and get more information. Motivation is the key to trade show success. If you have a product that you think is going to be the most important thing in your industry niche since the advent of sliced bread, then get out there and exhibit it. One of the best ways to ensure that you are not passed by is with promotional gifts.
Promotional gifts attract interest. People love to receive free stuff so when it is on offer, they often stop for a chat. This is the perfect time for the exhibitor to approach people and qualify them to see who they are and whether they are worth spending some time getting to know.
I generally recommend to my customers that they have inexpensive gifts on display at the front of their stand such as plastic promotional pens and stress balls. Such gifts are eye-catching and get people interested in what you have on offer. Qualified customers get nicer gifts such as Parker gift pens or metal desk clocks but they only receive them after they have come on the stand and taken their information.
