Promotional Clocks & Watches
The earliest clock, the sundial, was first used in or around 3,500 B.C. As technology progressed, the evolution of the timepiece went through various phases. Sundials, water clocks, pendulums clocks, quartz crystal clocks and digital clocks, at some point in history were all examples of cutting-edge technology. If there's one thing that hasn't changed it's their usage. Whether the clock is a sundial, a water clock or a digital timepiece, clocks have been used for thousands of years and they will be used for thousands of years to come.
Watches and clocks have taken technological leaps and bounds but they have also begun to take on alternative usages. The use of clocks as promotional products began with the application of imprints on the face of wall clocks that suppliers of products would give to retail establishments who carried their goods. The clocks served two purposes. First they provided easily viewable time of day for the establishment owners and their customers. Second, they were a highly visible advertisement for the supplier’s products. Many of these wall clocks have become valuable collectors items as their styles and advertisements bring us back in time so to speak. Today, wall clocks are available in many different styles and some feature full color imprints on the clock face. No longer do they require cords to be plugged in as digital movements powered by batteries have replaced that unsightly appendage.
Recently, many companies and organizations have begun to promote themselves through the use of promotional desk clocks and promotional watches. The idea is a great one and it makes sure that one's company is always on the recipient's mind. Promotional clocks and watches are silk screened, laser engraved or pad printed with the company's logo. Once again, they provide high visibility for the advertiser as the recipient usually places the gift in constant view on a desk or in the case of watches, on the recipient’s wrist. Promotional desk clocks are available in a wide range of range inexpensive colorful items that combine useful functions such as holding pens or clips or serving as USB hubs while displaying the time. At the other end of this spectrum, there is a diverse selection of elegant analog brass, glass and wood time pieces that associate the concepts of wealth, longevity, style and reliability. Watches and clocks are great promotional products because their use is not limited to a certain demographic and can be used by everyone. All are expertly designed and make great corporate gifts.
