When deciding on promotional items for your business or organization, it is essential to consider objects that will be frequently seen, rather than tucked away in a drawer or even tossed into a wastebasket. Items should be practical and useful and easily visible around the client’s home or office and promotional clocks could be the answer.

Perhaps the item most effective in this capacity is a wall clock. Imagine your company’s logo on the most visible wall clock in an office. Your name will be seen by employees and customers alike every time they look at your clock, reminding each and every person of your product or mission.

Everyone knows that while in the workplace, a company’s agents frequently turn their eyes toward the clock, whether anticipating the next appointment, their lunch, the end of the day and even a coffee break. Throughout the day, the clock has to be the most frequently seen object in the office. And with your promotional clocks, your firm’s name will be the most frequently seen logo in the office.

Picture a customer in line or in a waiting room, whether the line is going quickly or slowly, the customer looks to clock to see how fast or slowly the line is moving. With your promotional clock, the customer also invariably sees your company’s logo.

When making plans to commission your organization’s promotional clocks, it is important to remember that since a clock is viewed so often in the day the visual aspects of the clock should be pleasing to the eye, so the clock does not end up in the trash with another company’s clock in its place. Your logo should pop out visually, but remember, the purpose of the clock is see the hands to tell the time. Make sure your logo does not distract from the function of the clock, but rather add to its appeal. In other words, make sure that the numbers on the clock and the hands on the clock are perfectly visible and easy to read. One way to do this is to be sure your logo and lettering are different colors than the hands on the clock, but remember to keep the coloring tasteful. For instance, a neon pink or green is probably not the way to go in the professional setting. The color of the clock itself should match your company’s logo, but still be a soothing color, conducive to the work or home environment. Dark colors, such as black, gray, brown or navy tend to work better. Therefore, if your logo is made up of blues, order your logo on navy colored clocks. White can be effective, but can also blend right in to the wall. Not only should your logo pop on the clock, but the clock should tastefully pop on the wall, so the potential customer’s eye is drawn to the clock and, in turn, your logo.

How often do you look at the clock each day? Most people look at the clock as often as you do, and maybe even more. The face of a clock is a fantastic advertising space.
