STATIONERY AND OFFICE

Your branded office stationery is so much more than just your logo on a diary, or a notepad or on a pen… It goes a lot deeper than that…

For starters, a tastefully-branded stationery item, and one that is in use constantly, are silent brand ambassadors that are moving adverts for your company. They are on display for everyone to see, all year around.

By providing your staff, clients, suppliers and associates with bespoke, corporate branded stationery items, you are ensuring maximum brand visibility and exposure for your company. By remaining top of mind in this way, the chances for repeat business from clients and prospective clients are greatly increased.

Apart from brand visibility, stationery and office supplies are items that are in constant use – and very much needed to execute your daily duties. Why not turn an absolute necessity into something that works harder for brand awareness requirements, as well?

Want the best possible impact from your investment? Our customisable stationery range caters for all budgets and requirements to the most discerning customer, from office essentials such as pens, pencils, USB devices, power banks, personalised and branded diaries, calendars and many other branded office essentials. Ignition is perfectly positioned to take care of all your office and stationery requirements. Just speaking to any one of our friendly and knowledgeable team members will open up a world of possibilities.

Being connected and living in the Digital Age has revolutionised the way in which we communicate. Email, online calendars, and a host of other apps designed to streamline our lives have been instrumental in helping us to stay in touch and to help us stay on top of our game… but these tech wonders all fall by the wayside without the Internet, or when your battery runs out. Thinking of a corporate gift that helps your clients, staff, suppliers and associates stay connected, check out our tech gift ideas here.

On the other hand, the permanence and security of a personalised diary and year planner, for example is guaranteed to always be ‘online’ and easily accessible – even during load shedding. Yet, with the discussion surrounding the paperless office and all its purported advantages, it’s easy to think that paper in the modern workplace may no longer be required. But, just the opposite is true. Paper still has many advantages over existing technology, and we have researched a few key benefits that we’d like to share with you:

Paper is arguably the most universal medium of communication and information sharing, and has been for centuries. Of course, electronic document systems have certainly made an impact, paper still happens to be the global standard. Offices all around the world, including South Africa, continue to use paper in some form or another in their offices.

Electronic documents are flexible in their format, you could export them as jpegs, PDFs, .pngs… and others, but paper trumps this. Printed materials can be had in a wide array of items, from customised envelopes to specialised stationary and internal company documents such as invoices and receipt books. In many cases, these documents can offer a professional touch to a business that can’t be achieved through electronic means.

So rather than complicating an already busy day with digital formatting and exporting, companies choose to have custom-designed paper materials delivered to their doors, reducing time wastage and ensuring productivity.

Paper has been proven to be less hazardous to the human eye than monitors and electronic devices. The subliminal eye strain from a flashing screen and short-sightedness (myopia) from long hours looking at a screen come to mind. Additionally, using paper can reduce cases of carpal tunnel syndrome and other joint issues that result from the overuse of your keyboard and mouse.

When it comes to office co-labs, brainstorming or executing creative tasks – going ‘electronic’ can only get you so far. Out-the-box thinking, jotting down or sketching fast ideas are much better executed on paper first. For PR agencies, marketing and advertising agencies heavily depend on paper as being the definitive go-to medium for ideation and conceptual thinking. 

Sure, you can chuck a sheet of paper into the shredder and hack it that way, but if you want to keep your intellectual property safe from prying digital eyes, then paper is the answer. Another reason why companies prefer paper, is that it is far less likely that hard-copy files will be stolen, especially when compared to data kept on a sever connected to the internet for hackers to, well, hack.

Paper, in the form of diaries, year planners, calendars and other products will remain popular for the foreseeable future. Ignition has everything you need to continue to be productive in real time. Keep ahead of the curve, and order your stationery and office supplies from Ignition, and let us help you brand it, too.

Everyone loves gifts, and while holiday-season gifts have their place, back-to-work gifts prove to be useful promotional tools that also serve as excellent reminders and carriers of your brand. Your branding will usually include your company logo and contact details, but can be personalized even further. Such detail can incorporate any detail relating to your brand communication such as engraving or printing of names and specific messages; in fact your back-to-work office stationery gift can be designed from scratch if necessary. This conveniently ties into our focus on presenting a comprehensive offering that’s adaptable and effective.

Safety has become an essential component of our daily lives, work or at play. No matter if we are working in a high-risk environment or engaging in outdoor activities, safety must always be of paramount importance.
