Dress for the job you want…the clothes make the man… We're constantly hit with the message that image is everything. There's a lot of truth to that statement when it comes to business. The way you present yourself is a pretty good indication of your level of professionalism.

Where does that leave you when you're shopping for promotional products? If you want employees who are well-groomed, well-dressed, and well-accessorized, outfit them with custom printed portfolios.

Stay organized
Rifling around through papers or asking to borrow a pen won't make a good a first impression on a new client. Promotional portfolios have multiple pockets and slots to keep you organized. A good example is the Durahyde Padfolio that can hold a pen, calculator, documents, notepad, and business cards.

Padfolios are slim enough to tuck into your briefcase or laptop bag for easy retrieval of important documents. They also keep papers from getting bent and torn in the bottom of your bag. Plus, you can hand out business cards in a flash.

Look sharp
A black leather padfolio is a sharp accessory. A beautifully tailored suit loses its luster when paired with a scuffed-up plastic binder. The Manhattan Leather Zippered Jr. Padfolio is a good example of an executive-worthy logo portfolio. The textured leather featuring a deboss logo will impress without squelching your budget.

Sophisticated branding
At street festivals you can market your business by handing out neon-colored pencils and light-up key chains. In the boardroom, branding has to be more subtle. Customized portfolios are a classy way to display your company's name. A deboss logo, for instance, has the same look as a monogrammed accessory.

Also, carrying promotional portfolios is one way to distinguish yourself at conventions and networking events. You and your employees can present a uniform appearance without wearing uniforms. When it comes to sophistication, less is more.

Success you can see
Successful businesses give off unmistakable signs. Their whole company is tied up in a neat, well-branded package. It's the attention to details that really sets them apart. Supplying your employees with customized, matching padfolios is one way to achieve that look.

But what if you're not the suit and boardroom kind of business? The 100% Post Consumer Recycled Padfolio is modern, casual alternative to leather. The splashes of color make your logo really stand out.

If image is everything, then customized portfolios are your ticket to the top!
