Corporate/Club Clothing and Promotional Gifts Guide

When promoting your business by having your staff wear branded clothing or by giving your clients or members, promotional gifts etc, take some time to decide what outcome it is that you wish to achieve.




Things to consider is the budget that you wish to allocate to the promotion of your organisation using these methods, the time frame that you have to organise products for your event or promotion.



Clothing can now be screen printed, embroidered or sublimated. Each of these methods has a cost involved and a time it takes to either decorate or manufacture. Each method has its own place in the industry and will be suitable or not suitable for your requirements. For instance a major promotion where a company is handing out many many hundreds of tee shirts would be best catered for by screen printing as the costs will be kept quite low, where as providing polo shirts with many sponsors logos attached would now see sublimation as the decoration of choice.



As a rule embroidery and screen printing will take approximately 2 weeks from artwork approval. Sublimated products will take anything from 4- 8 weeks as the garment is individually designed and manufactured for purpose.



When considering promotional gifts you must also consider pricing, relevance to your requirements and decorating time. It is a very stressful process when a client rings asking for products three days out from an event!!!! Not only for the promotions company but also for the organiser. Like anything when planning your promotion give yourself plenty of time and ensure that you not only choose the right products but have the products there in time for your event or promotion.



To discuss your requirements, logo etc please call Steve Davenport at Souvenir Scene on 0434 685 119  at any time. We plan to make your corporate experience a pleasant and rewarding one.

Happy Valley Football Club Finals Under 16

For those of you who don't know, I am coaching the under 16 group at Happy Valley Football Club with Steve Chapman.
The last minor round saw our boys go down gallantly to Brighton Football Club who were sitting in equal top position. It was a grand effort by the lads only let down by a poor start that saw Brighton kick 3 goals in the first 15 minutes. From then on HVFC won the day but couldn't quite breach the gap. As we discussed as a predominately first year team, we need to concentrate and sustain a four quarter team game if we are to go deeper into September. A couple of special mentions to two of the boys who were given big jobs on the day. Sam Bauer was entrusted with keeping Brendan Howie (36 goals for the year) in check at centre half forward and he did a really good job, forsaking his own game to negate Brendan. Rhys Barrett, went back to full back releasing Josh Peters into the centre of the ground. Rhys manned up on Mitchell Howie (who had booted 60 plus goals for the year). Rhys was able to stop Mitchell adding to that total and provided us with much rebound all day. Others to play well on the day were Peters (Best on Ground)Spacie, Raitt, Tate, Beard, Sexton, Eshmade (3 goals).

On Sunday our team played the first final against Morphett Vale and despite having about 75% of the play all day, continued to butcher their possessions and not put score on the board. Morphett Vale had a purple patch of approximately 6 minutes in the third quarter with the wind where they put 3 goals on the board and threatened to blow the game apart. However whilst  giving our coaches and supporters plenty to worry about the boys plugged away to finally goal with a minute to go and seal the victory by 4 points. This ensures Happy Valley a spot in the preliminary final next weekend. This was a gutsy win and showed what a team effort can provide for the club. It was also the third come from behind victory in recent weeks. Best players on the day were Aiden Chaplain, Jack Mesecke, Tristan Cummings, Ryan Doherty, Alex Nicholson, Daniel Bennetts.

We now look forward to an elimination final for our Saturday team and a preliminary final for our Sunday team. With players injured, playing under 18 and at West Adelaide we have struggled to get our most settled side on the park for most of the year, and with SFL regulations that seem to defy logic and common sense, and injuries in teams above us it appears nothing will change this weekend. The boys picked will need to be well prepared, well rested, focused and ready to commit and concentrate on working as a team for four quarters if we are to move further into finals action.

All the best to the club and all the teams competing in finals this weekend. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers particularly our  regular staff  Michael, Ross, Dean, Brad, David, for the huge efforts and sacrifices that you have made for the club, our boys and for me and Chappy this season, without you guys there is simply no team, and it highly appreciated.

Ride Like Crazy

Hi all, Souvenir Scene is proud to be associated once again with Ride Like Crazy,  Sunday the 16th of January2011.
The event was started to honour Senior Sergeant Mick "Crazy" Koerner of the South Australia Police who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. His work colleagues and friends established a cycling event called Ride Like Crazy.
The event which started off as just a few colleagues and friends going for a ride to raise money for Mick's family, quickly gained momentum and in the end over 600 joined in.
SAPOL recognised the opportunity to make the event an annual event now raising money for Neuro surgical research and for The Women's and Children's Hospital.
In 2010 the event attracted almost 2000 participants raising an amazing $160,000.00 for the designated charities.
2011 will see numbers attending this very well organised event swell even further and raise even more money for charities in need.
Souvenir Scene will once again produce the merchandise for the event. Participants intending to ride in the event will be able to try riding jersey's on at our showroom from early September.
To everyone concerned we hope the ride is even more successful than the last and look forward  providing our readers with updates over the next few months leading up to the event.

Football Finals Approach

Hi everyone, well September approaches and all Happy Valley Football Club  teams have made the finals which start for some this week and for others next week.

I would like to congratulate the club and the committee for the above outstanding achievement and wish all of the players, coaches, support staff and volunteers all the best for the coming few weeks. Finals are the start of a new sub season and anything can happen. The fact that HVFC have put itself in a position to contest the finals in all grades is a credit to all involved.

Lets make sure that supporters get to all grounds on Saturday's and Sunday's allocated to our teams and get behind the lads as we strive for a premiership or two.

For our under 16 boys, it is a great opportunity as a mainly first year team to give the other teams in the finals series a bit of a shake. It is also a great opportunity to gani experience in finals and to prepare for next season, where the team will all be a bit older and wiser. Prepare well and let us give it our best shot.
