Lion Shaped Stress Balls - An In-Depth Look at These Fantastic Promotional Gifts

Promotional stress balls are very popular promotional gifts.  They are low cost and very good value for money.  Here we look at the lion shaped squeeze ball.

Before going into why I find the lion shaped stress ball such a great marketing tool, I would like to begin by telling you a few facts about lions and how they live. Forgive me if you already know all of these facts but they are traits that could be very useful to businesses trying to get their message across in a unique and fun way.

Only male lions boast manes so it is therefore the male lion that is most often seen made into a stress ball. Lions are the only cats that live in groups which are called prides. Prides are families of lions that consist of up to three adult males, about a dozen females and their young. The females usually stay with their pride but the males normally leave to find their own prides by taking over a group run by another male.

The female lions are the prides primary hunters. They are slower than a lot of their pray so it takes a lot of teamwork to capture their pray which consists of zebras, wildebeests, antelopes and other large grassland animals.

Lions have been recognised throughout history for their courage and strength. As courageous and strong as they may be, their numbers have dwindled. They used to be found all over Africa, Asia and even parts of Europe. Now they are only found in sub-Saharan Africa, except for a very small population of Asian lions that can be found in the Gir Forest in India.

Have you seen the possible traits or lion facts that you could use to promote your message using lion stress balls? You may be trying to promote teamwork which lions are known to excel in. You could be trying to promote your company's courage or strength under adverse or difficult situations. Than again, you could use these popular stress toys to draw attention to the dwindling numbers of lions and for that matter other wild jungle animal.

The most often seen lion stress ball is 94mm x 50mm x 120mm. There is also a tiger shape that can be made to order without the stripes so that it looks like a female lion. It is a similar size at 123mm x 60mm x 53mm. Both of these shapes offer nice large print areas of your logo and details. When searching for promotional stress balls, it is always a good idea to ask for samples first so that you can ensure you are getting the best product for your money. There are some really good quality stress toys on the market but there are also quite a few cheap copies.
