Will the Promotional Selfie Stick Shake Up Your Promotions?

The promotional merchandise industry is full of classic, timeless items that prove popular and effective time and time again. However, every now and then, there appear items that are innovative, unique and that play to current trends in technology or culture.

Printed selfie sticks allow you to take a group selfie by pressing the button on the handle

As a marketer, whether it's for exhibitions, concerts or trades hows, if you get your corporate gifts right, you could really capture the imagination of your target audience in a way that drives sales. 2015 will be no stranger to new and innovative items but one item has already caught my eye: the promotional selfie stick!

In 2013, "selfie" became a buzzword. Fast forward to 2014, the year of the selfie saw the phenomenon trending massively, with celebrities leading the way: Ellen DeGeneres' Oscars selfie was one of the most retweeted items on Twitter last year! Today, a selfie is a cultural phenomenon, mobile phones have been adopted to have a front facing camera and according to the Pew Research Center nearly half of us have shared a selfie on a social networking site, including David Cameron, Russell Brand and Wayne Rooney.

Selfie sticks are foldable so they can be easily stored away or carried in a bag

It is a no-brainer that this year we are introducing an item to enhance the selfie taking experience, for the benefit of your corporate image. The selfie stick may be more a trend than a game changer but it offers a perfect balance between practicality and quirkiness. It enables users to position their smartphone beyond arms reach to get a better photo angle or to easily take a group selfie.

These devices feature a long handle that is foldable, so that the item doesn't take too much space in the bag or drawer. They feature a mechanism to connect the push button on the handle to your smartphone or camera: either using bluetooth or a wire. The far end of the stick has a gizmo that holds any smartphone or lightweight camera firmly in place.

This clever gadget with a logo imprint will showcase a brand that is fun, innovative and doesn't take itself too seriously. The device will bring your clients together and make them think fondly of you!
