What sort of promotional jackets should I order?

[Ray Stafford]

Will be ordering some promotional jackets in the next couple of days.

The question is, do we go for a relatively low key jacket with a muted logo that could be warn everywhere (not just work) or a top end hi-vis jacket that would be great for work (particularly on site), but too garish for wearing outside work.

 

[SimonG]

Garish but warm

 

[EPH]

The option in between really.

What have you got in mind EPH?

 

[smtplumbing]

will it be promoting your company,

 

[Masood]

I don't do much (any) site work so hi-viz wouldn't appeal. I have no problem with logos at all, so IMO, something warm and waterproof or at least showerproof without being too bulky would be the ideal. It can be plastered in logos as I would only wear it at work anyway.

 

[Ray Stafford]

will it be promoting your company,

Yes, us and a certain well know oil boiler manufacturer.

Hi vis is just too overkill for us in domestic, where as the site workers and commercial guys can where the casual ones anywhere outside of work. Win win?

Yeah we all love the guy on a domestic job with the hi vis jacket and every single bit of ppe available no one eve takes the p out him , a subtle waterproof one but defo with a hood

Weatherproof coat with a fleece liner works well. I've got a nice one that Worsester were giving away a few years ago. Both fleece and outer are logoed up so they can be worn separately.

It's always nice if the logo is on a patch so you can unpick the stitching and get a freebie with no advertising.

 

[smtplumbing]

if its to promote your company a low key is better and a hi vis will not get any advertising well only from building sites

Plumb centre have some blinding ones ATM, hooded raincoat type one with Vaillant logo on it, very smart coats and would buy one of yours Ray if you follow same sort of style

Wouldn't be Grant, would it?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Wouldn't be Grant, would it?

Might be...

 

[SimonG]

Oh dear

 

[Ray Stafford]

Oh dear

Why? It's by far the most popular oil boiler in this part of the world!

 

[SimonG]

I wouldn't urinate on one if it was on fire. Not popular up here for some reason.

 

[Ray Stafford]

Funny old world isn't it. Might just be geography - their factory is just up the road in Devizes, so they are the local boys.

I think it's only me and disgruntled customers on the forum that don't think the sun shines etc. But I know a few lads up here that feel the same.

It can happen like that. Particularly if you have a really good rep on one patch, and some thumbless half-wit on another.

 

[SimonG]

All the oil boiler reps up here are as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

thumbless half-wit

come on now you can't water down the saying of the century lol

I fixed your post by removing the unnecessary words.

One or two notable exceptions, to be fair, but reps aren't what they used to be. Glorified leaflet droppers now mostly.

Sorry. Since we are in the arms, we can have the real thing. Thumbless fcuk-wit.
