Evenproducts
Introduction
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
I was new as Marketing Manager at Evenproducts and quickly identified that we did not have any merchandise. Previously the company had only purchased merchandise for particular events they had attended but not very much of it. So I actually found that having a complete clean slate was an exciting challenge! I wanted to have a stock that we could draw on for both trade exhibitions and to give to our partners. So I needed a mix of things that we would have plenty of to give away, and a smaller stock of more costly products, that our partners would appreciate.
Why did you choose branded merchandise as part of your solution?
Lasting.
How did your team or clients react to the merchandise? Any standout moments or feedback?
The eternity pencils were a really big hit. Especially at trade shows it was a great way to draw people into the stand. ‘Do you want a pencil’, ‘no’, ‘You never have to sharpen it’ – immediately starts a conversation!! My MD’s and CEO really loved the cohesive look of the merch and its really nice to be able to give them their own notebook, pen, pencil, water bottle and coffee tumbler! Another nice touch was to be able to give our long term installers, who we have partnered with for a long time their own branded tape measure. We got the 10m ones so they can actually use it whilst installing our tanks.
What changed after using it? Did it help with brand awareness, engagement, or something else?
I think it has just really helped with our brand image. Building connections with new partners and clients alike!
If you had to sum up the impact in one sentence, what would it be?
Lasting.

Cynam
Introduction
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
As a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a very limited budget, we were looking to provide high-quality notebooks for students participating in our AII Bootcamp initiative. The students needed a durable notebook and pen to take notes during project work and tasks—so quality was essential. We also wanted branded lanyards with the key sponsors and supporter’s logos on and a way to identify volunteers and student.
Why did you choose branded merchandise as part of your solution?
The notebooks were not only practical but became a symbol of the Bootcamp itself—memorable, high-quality, and a daily reminder of the experience we created together.
How did your team or clients react to the merchandise? Any standout moments or feedback?
The notebooks were absolutely fantastic. Chani was brilliant and professional throughout the entire process. I was invited to view all the options in person, which helped me stay within budget while choosing the best possible product. The experience was smooth, supportive, and tailored to our needs.
What changed after using it? Did it help with brand awareness, engagement, or something else?
The notebooks were everywhere on social media during the week of the Bootcamp. They became instantly recognisable in photos and helped increase visibility and brand recall. Notebooks are something everyone uses—so having one with our branding front and centre was a no-brainer.

BCH
Introduction
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
We were preparing for BIBA, the largest event BCH had exhibited at to date. It was also one of the first opportunities to showcase our new brand, alongside a completely new exhibition stand. We initially thought we would have to use merchandise carrying our old branding, so we needed a trusted supplier who could turn around quality branded items quickly and help us present a consistent, professional identity at a major industry event.
Why did you choose branded merchandise as part of your solution?
The merchandise helped us launch our new brand with confidence at BCH’s biggest event to date and left visitors with a positive and professional impression of the business.
How did your team or clients react to the merchandise? Any standout moments or feedback?
The feedback was really positive. The pens and pencils were particularly popular, and several people commented on the quality. Internally, the team felt the merchandise helped bring the new brand to life and complemented the overall look of the stand. As a supplier we work with regularly, Marketing Merchandise once again delivered exactly what we needed and made the process straightforward from start to finish.
What changed after using it? Did it help with brand awareness, engagement, or something else?
The merchandise helped create a polished and consistent presence at BIBA. As this was our biggest exhibition to date and our first major event with the new brand, it was important that every touchpoint reflected the investment we had made in our brand. The merchandise played an important role in tying everything together and giving visitors something tangible to take away from the event.

🚀 Bonus Question: If another business was considering branded merchandise, what advice would you give them based on your experience?
Don’t underestimate the impact of quality. If you’ve invested in your brand and event presence, make sure your merchandise reflects it. Work with a supplier you trust, choose items that people will genuinely use, and think about how the merchandise fits into the overall event experience rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Jayva Global
Introduction
This testimonial from JAYVA perfectly illustrates how thoughtful merchandise selection can deliver maximum impact without breaking the bank.
As a professional services company without physical products, JAYVA needed creative ways to maintain brand visibility during client and vendor meetings. The results exceeded expectation, team members loved their functional items so much that new employees actively sought them out after seeing them on colleagues’ desks.
This organic demand demonstrates the true power of well-chosen branded merchandise.
The client’s emphasis on Chani’s personal service and ability to understand their needs, provide budget-friendly solutions, and eliminate the hassle of endless option-hunting showcases how the right partnership can transform a simple brief into ongoing brand advocacy that spreads naturally through the workplace.
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
We didn’t have a huge budget and I wanted to provide things that were both functional and enjoyable. Chani and her team were able to provide some great ideas to meet our needs.
Why did you choose branded merchandise as part of your solution?
For me it was the ease of having an idea and not having trawl options. Chani got our needs, provided solutions which met those in budget and made our people happy. So it’s the personal service and suitability of products which make the difference.
How did your team or clients react to the merchandise? Any standout moments or feedback?
Everybody loved them. Not in this specific bundle, but the Stanley style cups were a huge win, everybody LOVES them and say they keep their drinks cold for a whole day.
What changed after using it? Did it help with brand awareness, engagement, or something else?
Absolutely, in fact new team members who didn’t receive them at the time would see them on co-workers desks and ask for them!

Coretech
Introduction
Becky’s refreshingly candid feedback from Coretech proves that you don’t need a complex strategy to achieve great results with branded merchandise.
Starting with the simple challenge of “what to do for Christmas gifts” and admitting she had “no idea” where she was heading, Becky’s experience highlights how the right partner can turn uncertainty into success.
The branded water bottles became an instant hit with staff, encouraging healthier habits while providing practical everyday value. Her enthusiastic praise for the team’s creativity and support, from simple briefs to conference t-shirt design—shows how personal service and flexibility can transform even the most straightforward projects into memorable experiences that clients want to repeat.
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
What to do for Christmas gifts really (I had no idea where I was going or what I was trying to achieve!)

Joedan
Introduction
Joedan’s approach to branded merchandise perfectly demonstrates how genuine care for customers and staff can deliver unexpected business benefits.
Their festive advent calendar campaign wasn’t designed as a sales tool—it was simply a heartfelt “thank you” during the busy holiday season. Yet the results speak volumes: 25 days of prominent brand visibility, delighted reactions from families with young children, and a meaningful boost to local brand awareness.
What started as a seasonal gesture of appreciation became something so well-received that Joedan plans to make it an annual tradition. Andrew’s feedback showcases how the right merchandise, delivered with authentic thoughtfulness and perfect timing, can create lasting positive impressions that extend far beyond the initial gesture.
What was the challenge you were trying to solve when you came to us?
We wanted to provide not only customers but also staff with a small seasonal gesture in the lead up to Christmas, we knew this wouldn’t be used as a lead generation or brand building exercise as such but just a thank you to everyone for their custom and hard work over a busy time of the year.

How did your team or clients react to the merchandise? Any standout moments or feedback?
An advent calendar is something that will sit in a prominent position either in the office or at home for 25 days (unless you can’t resist opening all at once) so we thought that if we are going to give everyone an advent calendar this Christmas then why not have a message of seasons greetings from Joedan on the front.
What changed after using it? Did it help with brand awareness, engagement, or something else?
We never really intended this to be used as a sales tool, but of course there is always going to be an element of that whenever you hand out something that is company branded. I would say that it had an impact of increasing brand awareness within the area.

To give them a gift at that time of year definitely put a smile on their face.
Frequently Asked Questions
Please get in touch if you have any questions that are not covered here. Our Christmas elves are just a click away!
Budgets vary, but a good starting point is to think per head. Say £5–£50. We’ll help you find gifts that make an impact without blowing the sleigh bells off your budget.
Yes! Branded gifts with your company logo are typically 100% tax-deductible. For team gifts, HMRC also allows up to £50 per person under the trivial benefit rule. (Always worth checking with your accountant.)
Absolutely. That’s our thing! Tell us a little about your brand, your goals, and your budget and we’ll build you a shortlist of magic-ready merch that’s made to impress.
Yes again! From FSC-certified edible treats to UK-made pamper kits, reusable mugs and recyclable packaging, we specialise in sustainable options that show your brand cares.
I would say the branding method and design, also low quantities of products.
Companies with websites loaded with product rely on you picking your own merchandise and deciding the best way it should be branded. You are doing all the work for them, all they need to do is process your order.
We are very transparent with our pricing, we will never quote for a product without including print, set up and carriage costs.
It’s our job to know what the latest trends in merchandise are, but we when we also understand who the gift is for, then we can give you a shortlist of ideas to pick from.
The earlier the better! We recommend finalising by early November. Some of our clients even start in September (yes, really!). Order early = more choice and less festive stress.
2025 is all about wellness, sustainability, and useful gifts with a personal touch. Think branded bath salts, Christmas socks, custom chocolate cards, and clever packaging that’s as joyful as the gift inside.
Yes! We can take care of fulfilment and postage direct to each recipient so whether they’re in the office or on a beach Zoom call, they’ll still get a moment of Christmas joy.
Of course. We don’t believe in cheap throwaways. We believe in smart gifting using clever branding, curated bundles and thoughtful extras that create more value with less.
Don’t order lots of small items, each one will be printed separately and there will be a set up charge. Order 1 gift that uses most of your budget, then add in some unbranded edible treats.
We don’t have websites loaded with product – but we can send you links to specialist ranges, once we’ve determined the best kind of merchandise for your company. We understand the limitations of the print areas on products, and how your logo would look within them. We are also experts on branding and can guide you to decide is screen, or digital print would be better than debossing or engraving.
Gifting isn’t just a festive tradition, it’s a chance to reinforce your brand values, appreciate your team, and create memorable moments. The right gift says “we see you” and that lasts well beyond December.
