ELECTRIFY YOUR BRAND

Load shedding. Just those words alone inspire feelings of dread, uncertainty and losses in revenue as the electricity goes off. No doubt, this is a major issue in South Africa, causing inconvenience, frustration and undue stress.

If you’re a business operating in South Africa, you’ve probably been affected by power outages, and you know how vital it is for your business to have solutions in place to minimise load shedding impacts. If you’re feeling these negative impacts, chances are, so are your customers, suppliers, staff and stakeholders.

One effective solution is to provide corporate gifts that can be used during load shedding, and we have quite an extensive list that covers emergency load shedding electronic devices, load shedding survival equipment, power banks, and ‘loads’ more!

You’re in the office and suddenly, everything goes dark. You wait patiently for the generator or the UPS to kick in, but after a full minute, nothing. Your cell phone is hovering at 5% battery life, and as you turn on the phone’s flashlight, your phone runs out of power. But, you suddenly remember that your service provider gifted you a power bank, and it’s in the top drawer of your desk. You open the drawer, find the power bank and plug in your phone. It’s now charging, what a relief!

While a somewhat made up scenario, this is very likely to happen sooner or later. Wouldn’t it be totally cool of your branded power bank saved the day? As you can tell, corporate gifting during load shedding is an opportunity for your brand to, well, really shine.

Speak to Ignition today and let us help you select the right device for you.

As mentioned earlier, it’s essential for businesses, no matter the type - to effectively operate and remain functional during power outages. There are many options available, including backup generators, solar panels, and battery storage systems.

These solutions not only provide power during load shedding, but they also reduce the impact of power outages on your business. By providing load shedding solutions as corporate gifts, you are not only promoting your brand, but you are also helping your clients and employees to cope with power outages.

Glad you’ve asked. Ideally, you want these kinds of gifts to be practical and useful, while also subtly and tastefully promoting your brand. Some examples of gifts for load shedding include flashlights, candles, portable fans, and emergency kits.

These items not only help people cope with load shedding, but they also promote your brand and shows your company as thoughtful and caring. Other options for gifts for load shedding include mobile chargers, power banks, and solar-powered devices and solar chargers are a popular choice, providing a renewable and sustainable source of power.

Backup generators are a more expensive option, but they provide a reliable and longer-lasting source of power during extended periods of power outages.

Portable power banks are a popular option for corporate gifts during load shedding, as they are a convenient and practical solution for people to charge their mobile devices during power outages. These power banks can be customised with your company logo and message, and they are an effective way to promote your brand while also helping people cope with load shedding.

Incidentally, there are many types of portable power banks available, ranging from small and compact models to larger and more powerful units. Some power banks are designed to charge multiple devices at once, while others are designed to charge specific types of devices such as smartphones or tablets.

When choosing a portable power bank for your corporate gift, it is important to consider the capacity, charging speed, and compatibility of the different devices. And that’s why it’s also a good idea to speak to us first, before ordering your power bank.
