Promotional Merchandise Inspired By Books For UK Businesses

The Best Promotional Products To Celebrate World Book Day

Let's talk about you for a moment. You and reading, to be precise. Are you a fiction fan or a biography lover? A self-help buff or a sci-fi enthusiast? A corner-folder or a bookmark user, a bookshelf-organiser or a Kindle devotee?

Whichever genre you fall into, it's safe to say that the UK is a nation of bookworms. Whether you like inspiring business guides or unputdownable thrillers, prefer to leaf through pages or listen to audiobooks through your headphones, we love - like, love - books.

With tomorrow (Thursday 5 March) officially World Book Day - with children across the country heading off to school in costumes inspired by their favourite book characters - there's no time quite like the present to launch into a whole new chapter with your branding.

According to stats, over half (51%) of British adults have picked up a book in the last six months, Whether you devour books with a passion or wish you could somehow find more time to read, it's safe to say we have an adoration of books - so much so, in fact, that there are a range of book-related occasions and events that take place throughout the year!
