The Rubik's Cube - a best selling promotional item

I’ve asked many people recently and virtually everyone at some stage in
their life has had a Rubik’s Cube. That is how big it was! Some people completed it with ease, some it took more work, and for others, they had to employ that sly (and time consuming) tactic of re-sticking the colours so they all matched.

Seriously the time it took me them to peel off the stickers and put them back on so all the colours matched - I they probably could have solved it anyway.

So when it first exploded onto the market it was THE puzzle toy to have, it was all over the news, competitions sprung up everywhere to see who could solve it the fastest, one handed, hung upside down, and even blind folded (yes you read it right). It was and still is a phenomenon!

Did you know...?

  • There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 (43 Quintillion) ways to scramble a Rubik’s Cube
  • Over 350 million Rubik’s Cubes have been sold worldwide – making it the bestselling toy of all time
  • The fastest time people have solved the cube is under 6 seconds
  • Every permutation can be solved in 20 moves or fewer
  • If you were to turn a Rubik’s Cube once every second it would take you 1,400 TRILLION YEARS to go through all the permutations

 

It should be pretty obvious to you by now that the Rubik’s Cube offers a fantastic way to get your brand in your customers’ hands on a daily basis. With exceptional branding opportunities and its instant fun appeal combined with truly massive retro appeal, there is no wonder the Rubik’s Cube has proven to be a huge best seller when it comes to promotional products.

Giving a Rubik’s Cube as a promotional gift really should be a no-brainer for your business. It has transcended generations and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

The exceptional branding area the Cube gives your company will ensure that it is not only well received by any recipient but it will be used regularly and more importantly enjoyed.
