Especially during this economic crunch, you have to make the most of your advertising dollars. Promotional products offer a fantastic return on your investment, but you've got to choose the right ones. Of...
No matter how or when you're using promotional products, the same basic goals apply. For example, you want your promotional products to create brand loyalty and to expose numerous people to your company's message. There are three promotional products that are absolutely can't-miss when it comes to making the best use of your marketing budget. Those products are umbrellas, tote bags and promotional pens.

Why are these promotional products the best of the best? Here's an overview of some of the reasons why umbrellas, tote bags and pens are the ultimate go-to promotional products:

Promotional umbrellas:
  • Umbrellas stand out from other promotional items because they're less common in the world of giveaways.
  • Logos printed on umbrellas are quite large, which means your company's name can be spotted from far away.
  • They're practical and useful, so they'll find their way into your customers' everyday life. A product like the Budget Beater 48 Inch Arc Stick Umbrella, for example, conveniently closes down to only 33 inches. It will easily fit in a briefcase.
  • Umbrellas aren't trendy items. They never go out of style, so you can order in bulk and always keep these great gifts on hand.
  • They have a high perceived value.
Promotional tote bags:
  • Promotional tote bags get carried around all over town. Countless people will see your company's name and logo.
  • Tote bags are a classic tradeshow giveaway that absolutely everyone loves. Handing out promotional tote bags is a sure-fire way to have the convention goers lined up at your booth.
  • Use them to get in on the eco-friendly trend of "bring your own grocery bags." To really show your company's concern for the environment, choose a "green" promotional item such as the 100% Post Consumer Recycled Deluxe Tote Bag.
  • Tote bags will be used for years to come, which makes them a top return on your marketing dollar.
  • Promotional tote bags are a blank canvas for your logo, offering high visibility.
  • Like umbrellas, tote bags are useful, which is an important quality to look for in any promotional product.
Promotional pens:
  • Promotional pens are very affordable, so you can hand out them generously.
  • No one turns down a free pen because everyone needs them.
  • Pens have universal appeal. They're not specific to a gender or age group.
  • They lend themselves to all sorts of creative uses, and they'll fit in with any marketing campaign theme.
  • Including a promotional pen along with a gift is an easy way to go the extra mile. For example, they're perfect for pairing with notepads, padfolios and desk sets. When including a promotional pen with a gift, upgrade to something a bit more special, such as the comfortable Cougar Rubber Grip pen.
Next time you're gearing up for a new marketing campaign, make your job easier by going with one of these three can't miss promotional products. Promotional umbrellas, tote bags and pens will always get the job done.

Building brand loyalty and goodwill. You might wonder how a little writing instrument could do...
You might wonder how a little writing instrument could do something as big as boost employee morale. The key is attention to detail and a little careful thought, the right pen (or pencil!) for the right person at the right time.

Business owners are always looking for ways to show their employees how much they're appreciated. Believe it or not, a high-quality pen is all it takes to say, "You're valued." Choose a pen that's attractive and with luxury features. (Yes, pens do come in luxury models!)

When you value you someone, you give them valuable things. With your logo printed on the side, your employees will associate your business with class and sophistication. Pride in one's company translates into pride in one's work.

Handsome promotional pens are quite affordable. There are some real bargains out there. For instance, you can get a pen with that stainless steel look and a cushion grip at buy one, get one free pricing.

If your employees are pencil pushers, turn them into mechanical pencil pushers. Pencil sharpeners can be a real pain. Before you know it, you've ground the thing down to a nub! By giving them the Bic Pro Select Office Series Mechanical Pencil, you're showing your employees that you want to help make their job a little easier.

Even businesses on a budget can provide their employees with good quality, convenient mechanical pens. There are models out there such as the Bic SoftSider Mechanical Pencil W/ Side Advance Lead Mechanism that sell for well under $1 a piece.

As for customer loyalty, remember, the holiday season is fast approaching. Holidays are a time when we all feel warm and fuzzy - think how great it would be if your customers associated your brand with this festive time of year.

Get in the spirit with some holiday-themed pens and pencils. For instance, throughout the month of October, have plenty of orange and black pens (imprinted with your logo, of course!) to hand out to your customers. Themed promotional pens and pencils work very well at tradeshows and conventions. Every booth in the building will be giving out pens. You can be the one booth that's giving green and red pens for Christmas! You can also have a special holiday greeting printed on them, such as "Happy Holidays From Widget Co."

Promotional pens come in just about every color under the sun these days. Just order a batch of green and red Bics, and choose a friendly greeting to personalize them.

The power of promotional pens and pencils should be never be underestimated!

That means it's time for businesses to get moving and buy those promotional products! For businesses, school-related promotional products are,...
For businesses, school-related promotional products are, believe it or not, most effective when given out before school starts. The reason is fairly simple. You want your promo product used by children as one of their regular school supplies. If you wait too long, mom and dad will already have bought everything on the supply list. At that point, the chances of your promo item making it into a school desk are diminished.

Let's say you've decided to give out a handy item like a Nylon Sports Pack. These packs make for a convenient way to carry books, pens, and other school day essentials. When you give them out over the summer, there's no need for parents to buy a backpack come September. Now your logo will be seen by hundreds of eyes - students, teachers, and parents.

Don't forget about the teachers! Everyday they're in the classroom from early morning to late afternoon. There are days when every teacher needs a strong cup of coffee to recharge their batteries. Show teachers you appreciate what they do for the community by giving them a special coffee mug like the 16 oz Roadster Travel Mug.

Promotional products aren't just for businesses. Schools can make great use of these items, too. Mid-summer is the right time for schools to start ordering their promotional products, too. That way, there's plenty of time for the items to arrive. Also, you can give them out on the first day of school to set the tone for a great year!

No matter what grade level, writing instruments are at the top of the supply list. Promotional pens and pencils featuring your school's name and mascot are useful gifts for all your students. Pencils are perhaps the most budget-friendly promo product around. Most schools have very little wiggle room in their budget. Luckily, pencils can be purchased for less than a couple of dimes. One example is the Best Value Pencil.

For elementary school students, promotional pencils can be used as rewards for good behavior or good grades. You can bet that younger children will be especially delighted to get a flashy gold or silver pencil, such as the Best Metallic Foil Colors Pencil.

The older students get, the more they tend to abandon pencils for pens. A great thing about pens is that they come in every color imaginable. You'll have no trouble finding a pen in your school colors. For example, some promotional pens, like a Bic Round Stic, give you the option of mixing and match more than a dozen colors.

Without dedicated and hard-working teachers, there could be no school. As an administrator, you can help your teachers feel school pride all year with a nice coffee mug in your school colors imprinted with your school's name, mascot, and/or logo. Mugs can be more affordable than you think. There are promotional mugs, such as the C-Handle 11 Oz. Ceramic Mug, available for less than a dollar a piece.

Everyone benefits when students take pride in their school. They'll respect each other and respect school property. With promotional products, businesses and schools can partner together to make education your community's top priority.

Promotional pens make for great advertisements because they're always sprouting legs. Folks borrow pens or leave them behind where they're picked up by others. Your pen might go through five or six owners before the ink runs dry. That's at least five or six people who saw your company logo. And that doesn't even include the friends and colleagues of those temporary owners.

To buy the right pen, keep your target audience in mind. Some only need a pen to jot down a grocery list. Others need a pen that's comfortable to use, because they spend their whole day writing. To keep a customer using your pen, give them what they need.

If your product is geared toward industry power players, offer them something high-end, like our Maestro Click Stainless Steel Pen. It's got a click action mechanism and a smooth grip. Your company's logo is laser engraved, for a look that's chic and subtle.

For people who stick a pen in their purse for writing checks, our Bic Clic Stic will do the job. They're fun, colorful, and priced right for buying in bulk. They're exactly the kind of promotional pen that people are likely to loan to others—which means a whole new crowd of people will see your name and logo.

ost people already have a tried-and-true favorite pen. You've got to offer them a pen that's unique and high-quality if you want them to swap their old fave for yours. Play around with colors, for instance. One of our Bic Clic Stic pens in purple or teal could make even paying bills more enjoyable!

On a related note, pens are easily misplaced or lost. Because of this, people often buy inexpensive pens, like the 10 for $1 pack. If you offer one of those people a premium pen, there's no doubt they'll switch from their regular pen to yours.
The Bic Clic Stic is also good for trade shows. You can bet that visitors to your booth will be grateful to have a pen handy for jotting down notes. They'll be carrying your logo with them all day!

Price and quality both matter. Pens are used for writing. If yours doesn't write well, it'll go straight in the waste basket. Remember, the quality of your promotional product is a reflection of the quality of your business as a whole.
With that in mind, we bring you the #1 pen deal on the web. This low-price, high-quality pen comes in sophisticated colors like black and silver. It writes as smooth as any designer pen, and its rubber grip and top-notch finish belie its bargain price!

The Maestro Click Stainless Steel Pen mentioned above makes a wonderful employee gift. Plainer pens are ideal for giving away in bulk. A special pen, however, tells the recipient that you think they are special, too. Let your valued employees know that they are more than just one among the masses.
