In today’s competitive marketplace, brands are constantly seeking innovative ways to connect with their target audience. Promotional products, often overlooked as simple giveaways, can be a powerful tool for enhancing brand awareness, building customer loyalty, and shaping brand image.
Promotional products offer a tangible way for brands to interact with potential and existing customers. When used effectively, they can increase brand visibility, build customer loyalty, drive sales and improve brand recall dramatically
While traditional promotional products can be effective, premium promotional products can have an even more significant impact on a brand’s image. High-quality items create a perception of value and luxury, associating your brand with premium experiences.
A premium gift shows customers that you’ve put thought and effort into your promotional efforts. Unique and high-quality items are more likely to be kept and used, leading to longer-lasting brand exposure. By selecting promotional products that align with your target audience’s interests and lifestyle, you can increase the effectiveness of your campaign.
When selecting promotional products, consider the following factors:
Sustainability: Consider eco-friendly options to align with growing consumer trends.
Target audience: What are your clients’ interests, preferences, and lifestyle?
Brand identity: How does the products align with your values and messaging?
Budget: How much you can allocate towards promotional products?
Promotional products can be a valuable asset for any brand. By carefully selecting the right items, you can enhance brand awareness, build customer loyalty, and create a positive and lasting impression. Premium promotional products, in particular, can elevate your brand’s image and leave a memorable mark on your audience.

Three years ago, TurnKey Promotions commenced a partnership with Carbon Neutral, a non-profit organisation that proudly restores Australia’s natural habitat through biodiverse restoration of degraded land.
Key to this partnership is a commitment from TurnKey Promotions to help “turn our emissions into trees” and contribute to local reforestation by planting one tree for every order of 50 notebooks that we receive.
Over the past three years, TurnKey Promotions clients have ordered thousands of notebooks, proudly enabling us to plant a total of 1015 trees.
More than 400 of these trees were planted in the 2023/24 financial year, marking a record contribution by TurnKey Promotions and one of our proudest accomplishments to date.
These 400 trees were among the thousands planted across 2,500 hectares by Carbon Neutral over the past twelve months, indicating strong collective supportive across the entire Australian business community for the local reforestation movement.
“The importance of biodiversity has never been more apparent and could not be achieved without the support of partners like TurnKey Promotions.”
TurnKey Promotions cannot thank our clients enough for being so supportive of this cause. Thanks to you, our “Giving Back” program grows every year, enabling us to give back to the community and pursue our social and environmental goals.

We are thrilled to announce that the team at TurnKey Promotions have been recognised for their hard work and creativity at the 2023 APPA Awards, taking home the top prize in the Business to Business and Made in Australia award categories.
The APPA Awards, renowned for celebrating innovation, creativity, and outstanding achievements, bring together the best and brightest in our industry.

TurnKey Promotions received this award for our work with Entegra Signature Structures, a leading shed manufacturer in Australia, who approached our team with a brief for a unique promotional product to be gifted to some of their biggest clients. After extensive research we suggested the Meat Branding Iron as the perfect promotional gift, aligning with the livestock industry and aimed at keeping the Entegra brand in the minds of their most important clients.
TurnKey Promotions received the Made in Australia award for our work with Rabobank Australia to design and produce custom playing cards. This award in particular means a lot to the team and highlights our efforts to source, produce, and promote promotional products that are proudly made right here in Australia.

For the last six years, TurnKey Promotions’ supplier-partner Stencil has led the Australian apparel market with their production of high-quality, high-tech clothing.
Stencil is perhaps best known for its famous Cool Dry® fabric, an innovative moisture-wicking fabric that breathes like a cotton, is quick drying and has antibacterial properties, making it cool and comfortable to wear all year round.
Over the past few years, Stencil has invested extensively in new technology to bring to market a number of groundbreaking, eco-friendly fabrics that can be found in some of TurnKey Promotion’s new ranges of polo shirts and apparel. These fabrics include:
Stencil Clime-Ori® Stencil Clime-Ori® was developed by Stencil in partnership with DuPont, using DuPont’s new Sorona technology. Clime-Ori® mixes the excellence of Cool Dry® with the innovative spring-like structure of Sorona, giving Clime-Ori® a an impressive set of attributes including colourfastness and stain-resistance.
Stencil Nano-Gear® Produced in both 100% cotton and poly/cotton blends, Stencil Nano-Gear® uses nano-scale polymers (engineered to attach to the individual fibres) to leave the finished garments astoundingly stain-resistant and wrinkle-free.
Stencil Bio-Weave® Stencil’s newest natural fibre combines traditional techniques with high technology to create a fabric unlike any other. A close cousin of rayon and lyocell, Bio-Weave® utilizes revolutionary wood-pulp manufacturing techniques to produce a fabric that has longlasting colours, is wrinkle-free and kind to sensitive skin.
The Sorona Polo
This year, TurnKey Promotions introduces Stencil’s Sorona Polo– proving that scratchy, uncomfortable eco-friendly fabrics are a thing of the past.
Comprised of an ecologically responsible plant-origin fibre, the Sorona Polo not only offers unmatched wear characteristics, but also requires 30% less energy to produce than a comparative nylon shirt. Our new Sorona Polo is also manufactured using natural fermentation in place of chemical processing, reducing its environmental impact without sacrificing quality or performance.
The finished product is smooth, silky and available in a range of attractive colours that won’t fade with wash or wear thanks to the fabric’s inherently high UV resistance.
To enquire about the Sorona Polo or any of Stencil’s fabrics, please contact TurnKey Promotions on 1300 153 707.
