Staff Picks: Custom Power Bank Chargers

By Dean Schwartz (SWAG Master): The IDC released a study in 2013 that chronicled smart phone usage in the U.S. And the findings may – or may not – surprise you. For example, within 15 minutes of waking up, 79% of smartphone users have already looked at their phones. 70% of them visit Facebook, and do so nearly 14 times per day. 48% use their smartphones at the gym, and 50% of smartphone users check Facebook even when they’re at the movies.

In short, nearly everyone these days is virtually married to their smartphones. But what happens when the battery is low? Sure, you could pop it in to your charger, but if you’re on the go with no outlet in sight – and you don’t want to lug around a giant cable – you almost always have to suffer the consequences and watch your battery die a slow, painful (to you) death.

But there’s good news! Your friends at SOBO Concepts have had the same problem, but as custom promotional product experts, we’ve not only got a solution, but a SWAG-tastic one at that.

You may have seen portable battery chargers before, but SOBO works directly with the best suppliers in both the US and in China to find the perfect charger to amp up your sales and provide something of great value to your customers. Here are some of our favorite options:

2600mah Power Bank with Samsung Battery: With a USB input orks with practically any cell phone, this is a great, affordable option. But it also has a USB input, so you can charge just about anything. It comes in three colors – green, blue or red – and gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of styling via a logo placement. And with orders from as low as 500 at a unit price of $12.75 each, they’re not hard to get.

4000mah Super Slim Power Bank 10.50MM: Sleek, stylish looks, a virtually endless selection of colors, and it’s so slim that it looks like a second phone. The best part? It’s a fit with mobile phones and other 5V digital devices from nearly all brands – Apple, HTC, Samsung, Phillips, Nokia and many more. And when you consider what can be done in terms of customizations – customized logos, in full color, for example, you can see why it might be the coolest of the bunch. Priced from $19.95 for 500 units.

4000mah Power Pack with Attachable Sucker: If you’re thinking to yourself “okay, these portable chargers are cool, but I’m afraid of losing mine.” Fair enough. For the forgetful types, you’ll love this one – it attaches via suction to the back of your phone! And it has a wide array of colors with a compact cord, as well, so that it doesn’t cause unnecessary clutter as you carry it. Want extra color or design? The sky is the limit, and offers a wide range of options much as the Slim Power Bank does.

Whether you order your custom power chargers from SOBO or another company, be very careful choosing for price only. Just because a charger looks the same, there are many companies and factories that place used or damaged batteries inside their power banks or say that they’re a higher mah (milliamp hours, the total amount of energy a battery can store at one time)than they actually are.
