Getting around London on the public transport may not be your idea of fun, but you can still make the experience better by getting hold of personalised Oyster Card wallets.

The Oyster Card may look the same for everyone, but your wallet can be as different as you want it to be.

There are loads of great reasons to personalise yours, and here are a few of them.

Be Unique

It can be a very anonymous experience travelling through London during the rush hour, but you can help to portray your unique personality through the card wallet that you choose.

Advertise Your Brand

You get your wallet out a number of times to travel around the city, so why not turn it into a unique branding opportunity?

If you run a company in London then you may want to sort out Oyster Card wallets for all your staff members with your own company branding on them. You should always take advantage of opportunities to spread your brand message, and this is a unique way to do so.

Protection from Damage

There are also practical reasons to get yourself a personalised wallet for your Oyster Card. If you don’t want it to get scratched and damaged then a wallet can help to keep it in better condition for longer, meaning you won’t have to get a new one due to damage.

Harder to Lose

A wallet that is original and different from all the others may make the job of losing it a lot harder. That is great if you happen to be one of those people who seems to lose things all the time. Make sure you card is easier to find by getting a wallet which is brightly coloured or has an original design.

Great Present Idea

If you don’t know what to buy someone as a present then it can be a great idea to get them a personalised Oyster Card wallet.

You could choose one which is designed in a way that will be more enjoyable for them to use, perhaps one which depicts their favourite sport or hobby.

Whatever you choose, it makes for an original present which will be appreciated.

Oyster card wallets are simply plastic wallets designed to carry and protect London oyster cards for the city’s travellers and commuters. The oyster card is an electronic ticket that can be used to pay for travel on the public transport throughout Greater London. Oyster card wallets not only house and protect the credit card sized travel cards, but they also offer a marketing, advertising and promotional opportunity for businesses of all sizes.

What was the purpose of the Oyster Card Wallet?

The London transport oyster card was introduced in July of 2003. By mid 2010 there were in excess of 34 million cards in circulation. Some 80 percent of all journeys made in Transport of London services were paid for through the oyster card. It doesn’t take much of a mathematical mind to work out that if only a relatively small proportion of those travelers used oyster card wallets, the advertising and promotional opportunities are huge.

Of course, a very large proportion of travelers who use the oyster card also have the distinctive blue coloured card kept securely in a plastic wallet of some kind. The majority of these wallets have some form of printing on them, often company advertising of some sort. The wallets are often given away free in promotional efforts, or are cheap to buy, as it is definitely in the company’s interests to have the printed wallets distributed as widely as possible.

Get creative with your promotional material

Many print companies will be only too glad to design or personalise oyster card wallets for a business seeking to discover a new promotional marketing outlet. Full colour litho printing will give the full ranges of colours and present endless opportunities for serious creativity. Print runs can be small, a few hundred or so, or they can be large, running into many tens of thousands. Most print shops will also offer very competitive rates, especially for large print runs.

Oyster card wallets come in many shapes, colours and even sizes to some extent. They are most commonly available in durable plastic, but can be made in a wide range of suitable materials. Creating a highly distinctive design of oyster card wallets offers an excellent marketing opportunity and is something a little quirkier than standard marketing material and is likely to get noticed and remembered by all who come into contact with it.

A great and inexpensive new way of advertising is with Oyster Card Holders – everyone in London has or needs an Oyster Card and they would definitely appreciate an Oyster Card Holder. So Why not give them one? Better yet why not give them one with your logo and contact details? It is cheap; you choose who gets one so you are only appealing to your target market – ideal.

In the same vein as Oyster Card Holders, albeit slightly more traditional, is credit card wallets. Although they make fantastic little promotional gifts to your customers they are even better at giving to your staff particularly those with business fuel or credit cards. It makes your business look so much more professional. Another seemingly incongruous item which can be used as promotional space is your tax disc holder. Any other ideas?
