Promotional products are a great way to enhance your brand and get your name and logo out into the world. Whether it be your business, organization, group or for personal use, there are many promotional products available which you can custom design yourself and have printed at a very small cost.

With custom online design and printing NZ websites, you can become your own graphic designer without the need to enlist in the help of a costly professional designer. You can simply search the thousands of design templates that already exist and edit them to suit your marketing purposes. If you've got something specific in mind and you are handy with design software, you can design your own promotional material, upload it, and organise the printing stage from there.

Business Cards
Discount business cards in the past have often mean limited (or no) colours, and only a few non-premium design options which created a business card which looked like it could have been printed from you PC. With the advancements in custom online design, discount business cards can be done in full colour to maximize their effect, using free online studio software, and choosing from tens of thousands of stock images. Being digitally produced, you can print small quantities of business cards if needed, and still retain discount prices.

Postcards
You can increase your sales and brand awareness by created postcards online which are highly targeted to those you send them to. They're a great way to promote your company in general, or to create a piece of marketing material for a specific project or promotion. Postcards can be created in just a few minutes, either in standard post size or oversized for extra impact.

Christmas Cards
Many businesses and families see personalised Christmas cards as an extravagant expense, but they can be fully customised online at cheap prices, many working out at less of an expense than buying Christmas cards from a stationary store. You can choose from traditional and modern designs, add personal images of your team or family, and add your own touches to the message inside. They'll be printed in full colour, and you can order in print runs of just ten cards, making printed Christmas cards an extremely affordable way to wish your clients, friends and family a happy holiday.

Calendars
Calendars are a great option for a promotional product because they'll sit visibly near your client's desks and break rooms all year round, making your brand name and contact details visible at all times. You can create flip-style calendars (great for personal desk use), wall calendars, poster calendars and even fridge magnet calendars online. Designing them online is easy from the templates, and you can choose from glorious landscapes, cute animals and many other calendar images, or upload your own photos. These definitely won't look like you've used the Windows calendar program to create them!

Stamps
You can customise self-inking stamps online too, and if needed you can order any quantity, even if it's just one. They have unlimited uses for work and for the home, with anything from return addresses and dates to replicas of your signature. Logos and images can even be added to stamps, and you can choose from black, blue or red ink.

Promotional Giveaways
It's great to be able to give your clients something they'll be able to really use as a promotional product. Not only can you design your own printed promotional products online, but you can also custom design marketing materials such as t-shirts, magnets, pens, hats, notepads and more. Custom printed t-shirts and hats in particular, are great for so many purposes. For business, they're perfect for team building days, fun runs and any other events where the members of your company will be seen in public together - they create a great unified look. On a smaller scale these products are great for families and sports team supporters too. Furthermore, pens are a great little giveaway that anyone who comes into your office can take away with them - and literally have your brand name and contact details at their fingertips all day long.

Cards, Notes and Stationary
Just because you can custom design these online doesn't mean the entire world now functions electronically - there's something to be said for elegant and fun personalised stationary. Whether it be complement cards, note cards or letterheads and envelopes for your own personal needs, stationary with your own personal touch to it will never go out of style. As a real bonus, they're a bargain of a price online considering what you would pay (and the quantity in which you'd need to order) if you chose to have personalised stationary printed from a store. Additionally, you can custom design personalised invitations for events such as weddings, and create announcements for big events such as the birth of your baby.

Creating your own marketing and promotional products isn't restricted to big companies with big printing budgets anymore - custom design can be done completely online by you with as much or as little effort as you want to put into it. Using an online printing company that services thousands of customers everyday means you'll get the benefits of fully automated manufacturing: lower prices. Historically, personalised marketing materials have only been available through small printing companies where the process is very laborious and time-consuming, which at the end of the day, costs you more money.
