What Is Blue Monday And Is It Really A Thing?

Dubbed the most 'depressing day of the year' is the third Monday of January, or as it's more commonly known as, Blue Monday. The concept was conceived in 2004 by the psychologist, Cliff Arnall, when he was asked to come up with a formula as to when the best time to book a summer holiday would be by the travel firm Sky Travel. The travel firm subsequently used the phrase 'Blue Monday' in their winter deals promotions and since has become a common phrase amongst people.

The formula Arnall used took into account many factors including: weather, debt, time since Christmas, time since failing New Year's resolutions, low motivational levels and the feeling of a need to take action. The psychologist has however since confessed that the formula is essentially pseudoscience and has urged the UK to debunk the whole notion of Blue Monday.

With that being said, however, January is a time of year when many Brits feel cold, broke and, quite frankly, a bit down. So, why not show your customers' and colleagues you care with the best wellbeing promotional products that will help uplift moods, motivation and ultimately achieve set goals?

Brighten Up Brits’ Day Whilst Shining A Light on Your Brand

A recent article, published by Health Assured, demonstrates that getting enough sunlight and exercise can help to beat the January blues. Gift your target audience with the right outdoors and fitness items to help them get outside - even when the sun isn't shining, getting some fresh air can be beneficial.

Available with four rope colours and your branding printed to the handles, your customers and colleagues will have eyes on your business with every skip, hop and jump.

We've all been there, January has come around and we're looking to shift some of the holiday weight we may have gained, so we decide to start jogging around our local area. We've got our running gear on, dusted off our trainers, plugged our headphones in and then realised 'where do I put my mobile?' - it's at this point we really need a Sports Phone Armband.

Be Sociable, From A Distance Of Course

In the same study by Health Assured, it mentions that one of the biggest mistakes that people make is to shut themselves off from the world until February.

Although the need to hibernate throughout January might be financially influenced, however, being sociable doesn't have to come with a price tag, especially during these times. We've all adjusted to a new normal of interaction with friends, family and colleagues through the means of Skype, Teams, Zoom and more!

Our wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are the perfect companion for any video call, from chats with your work team to catchups with friends and family, these branded earphones are handy for almost any demographic. Printed with your logo to the front of the case for eye-catching brand exposure.

Enter our Turbo Smart Phone Stand, the ideal item for any video call. Available in a variety of colours and printed with your business logo or message to the front to place your brand on prime display.

Depending on where in the UK your customers are based, they might be able to meet up with friends and family, so make sure they are following the correct regulations and arm them with personalised face masks. Our Double Layer Reusable Face Masks are brilliant for preventing the spread of germs whilst advertising your logo simultaneously.

Ensure Your Clients Tick Off Targets For The Write Brand Awareness

It's easy to forget that New Year's resolutions don't need to be fulfilled by the end of January and they can start to lose their appeal by mid-January. So, why not take the pressure off and set some unrelated achievable goals? Whether it's to spring clean the house, check on a friend that you haven't spoken to in a while or anything else, setting mini-goals that you will be able to achieve can you give you that boost of positivity and motivation that was starting to fade.

Writing your tasks down in a notebook is a great way to keep track of your goals (big or small) and the sense of achievement you will get once ticking them off is glorious.
