Golf Weather is Just Around the Corner, Our Top 3 Logo Umbrellas

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:27:00 -0500

Believe it or not, winter is actually a great time to order promotional golf umbrellas. You can put a smile on someone's face by reminding them that warmer days are just around the corner - which means it will be time to hit the greens! With the Chip N Putt Golf Umbrella, they can get in some indoor practice.

Another reason to give out promotional golf umbrellas during the winter is that these logo items pull double duty. While the weather's still cold, a logo golf umbrella will offer protection from the rain, sleet and snow. The Hurricane Wind-Proof Vented 62 Golf Umbrella can stand up to even the harshest of storms.

Last but certainly not least, a golf umbrella can help support your new year's goal of getting in shape. Golf may not be a high intensity sport, but you can get a good workout if you opt to walk and carry your clubs rather than ride in a cart. The Budget Beater 60 Inch Arc Fiberglass Umbrella will easily fit in your golf bag, and it's lightning proof construction makes it a safe choice for golfers.

Don't wait until spring - order your logo golf umbrellas today!

The Best Trade Show Giveaways for High Visibility

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:07:40 -0500

Close your eyes and picture a hustling, bustling trade show. Instead of an exhibitor, imagine yourself as a visitor to the show. With so much to see and do, you probably won't be able to check out every booth. The exhibitors know this, and they're all vying for your attention. They've all constructed their exhibit with one goal in mind: high visibility.

Now open your eyes and come back to reality. You are one of those exhibitors, and you're competing against dozens or even hundreds of fellow exhibitors for the attention of the trade show attendees. How are you going to make your booth stand out from the crowd?

Some exhibitors opt for flashy lighting and loud music. Some even hire B-list celebrities from the 1970s to sign autographs. Sure, people will stop and gawk, maybe even wait in line to have their picture taken with a former cast member of The Love Boat, but that's not the kind of visibility you really want.
You want visibility that's backed up by substance. Promotional products are the solution. Promotional products will attract attention in a way that enables you to engage the visitors to your booth and evaluate them as future prospects. Something as simple as a Wired Pen is all you need to attract visitors and start forming a crowd. Key chains are another can't-miss promotional product, especially if you choose one with cool features. The Ilite Key Chain, for instance, features a bright red safety light.

That's something wacky stunts and pyrotechnics can't accomplish. Visitors will stare from afar and move on. When you have a valuable promotional freebie to hand out, visitors will walk directly up to your table. By physically handing over the promotional product, you're making direct contact. Personal contact helps make you more memorable.

For an added impact, have a promotional product on hand that you reserve for especially promising prospects. The Milano Pocket Jotter, for example, will make a lasting impression.

The other type of visibility you're after is visibility throughout the trade show floor. You want your name and logo to be seen by the attendees on the opposite end of the convention center. That's where your promotional products start to pay dividends.

When attendees spot one of your promotional products being carried around, they'll have an incentive to go visit your booth. They'll actually be the ones seeking you out, rather than the other way around.

Nothing offers higher visibility than logo tote bags. In all likelihood, however, several other exhibitors will be handing out tote bags as well. You need something with a higher perceived value, such as the Non-Woven Sports Pack, to get a leg up on the competition.

Don't forget about post-tradeshow visibility. All of those trade show attendees will be returning to their regular lives with your promotional product in tow. Their friends, family members, coworkers and clients will all be exposed to your logo. You'll be surprised at the advertising bang you'll get from something as small as a Handy Cutter - Box Opener.

Promotional products are a one-time investment to gain high visibility both during and after your next trade show.

Stay Warm This Winter With Promotional Blankets, Jackets and Hats

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:15:00 -0500

In these cold winter months, who could possibly pass up a toasty warm jacket, hat or blanket? Winter promotional apparel and blankets have a very high perceived value. These cozy items make a wonderful surprise for your employees and top clients.

Promotional jackets and hats offer a solid return on your investment because they can be worn for many years to come. The Embroidered Knit Cap Without Cuff and the Sport-Tek™ - Sideline Jacket, for example, are classic styles that will never go out fashion.

As for blankets, the Easy Roll-Up Blanket is made entirely from fleece. Its large size makes it ideal for relaxing on the couch and watching a movie. Once winter is over, your employees and customers will still find plenty of uses for their promotional blankets. They're perfect for picnics and outdoor concerts. The Reversible Blanket with Carry Case is great for fall football games.

When your clients and employees are bundled up and warm in your promotional apparel, they'll naturally have warm feelings about your company. You're sending a message that you want them to be comfortable, which shows that you're caring and thoughtful.

Bundle Up With Promotional Products

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:09:45 -0500

Trying to come up with the perfect product to give away during your big winter promotion? Take a cue from the weather! Promotional beach balls and Frisbees, for example, are classic summertime giveaways. But summer isn't the only season that lends itself to promotional themes. When the weather is icy, give out promotional products to help your customers and employees stay toasty.

If you're familiar with promotional apparel, then you know that people go nuts over free t-shirts. They'll clip coupons, mail in UPC codes, wait in long lines and make extra purchases all to get a free wearable. Clothing is seen as a highly valuable giveaway, and most everyone could use an extra shirt. With all the excitement a simple t-shirt can garner, imagine the reaction you would get by giving away a piece of outerwear, such as a jacket or fleece pullover.

Outwear is the best choice for promotional apparel when the weather is cold. Not only will the jacket be worn and appreciated, it also ensures that your logo is visible. A promotional t-shirt that's covered by a coat isn't getting the job done. Put your logo on a Waterproof All Seasons Jacket, however, and your brand stays exposed even when the wearer bundles up. Another outerwear option is a promotional knit cap such as the Embroidered Knit Cap Without Cuff. Promotional knit caps are an affordable option and appeal to people of all ages.

Winter is the optimal time of year handing out fleece promotional products. Fleece is just about the warmest, most cozy fabric you can find. Fleece jackets have long been a popular and well-received promotional product. Today companies looking for a fleece promotional product have a number of choices in addition to jackets. A Full-Zip Fleece Vest, for example, keeps you warm while still leaving you unrestricted to enjoy outdoor activities. Fleece vests are also a smart bet because they can be worn by both men and women.

Promotional fleece blankets are an immensely popular choice. In addition to giveaways, a high-quality Soft Fleece Blanket - Embroidered makes a wonderful gift. Winter is when people spend time curled up in front of the fire with a good book or enjoying a movie with their family. With a promotional fleece blanket, your company's brand becomes a part of those good memories.

In the summer you give customers water bottles and fans to beat the heat. In the winter, give out blankets, hats and outwear so they can battle the cold.

Promotional Pens and Pencils Ã¢ÂÂ Always A Sure Bet

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:09:08 -0500

There's a rule of thumb that says a pen will have around eight owners during its lifetime. Multiply that by a mere 100 promotional pens, and you've got 800 people exposed to your brand, with minimal effort on your part. That's just one of the many reasons why promotional pens and pencils are a great choice for your marketing dollars.

Another reason why we love logo pens and pencils is the wide range of prices and styles. Whether it's a corporate gift for your top client or a mass giveaway, you can find exactly what you need. For instance, if you have a booth at a tradeshow or fair, stock up on some Best Value Pencils. The unbelievably low price makes it affordable for any size business to hand out generously. Or, for just a few cents more, you can really stand out from the crowd with the eye-catching Best Metallic Foil Colors Pencil.

Promotional pens and pencils can also function as business cards. For about the same price as a high-end business card, you can give out an executive style pen like a Bic Grip Roller Ball Pen With Gold Plated Accents.

Desktop products and accessories are excellent promotional products because they put your business inside your client's office. Not literally, of course, but your company's name and logo is on constant display if you can land yourself some desktop real estate.

To guarantee yourself a prominent spot on the desk, choose a stylish, upscale pen like the Catalan Twist Brass Pen. For a more casual work environment, try something fun and fresh like the colorful All American Frosted.

When you buy promotional pens and pencils, there's no gamble because they're always a sure bet!

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:41:37 -0500

T-shirts aren't your only option when it comes to marketing your business with promotional apparel. In fact, in the winter season, t-shirts aren't necessarily the best choice. Why?

Of course, with the R-Tek™ Fleece 1/4 Zip Pullover, you can be sure your logo will stay front and center even when the weather calls for warm outerwear. Variety in your promotional apparel is important so that you can appeal to a wide range of tastes. That's why we also offer the Full-Zip Fleece Vest.

Keep your head warm with an Embroidered Knit Cap Without Cuff. The Embroidered Knit Cap Without Cuff is one-size-fits-all, making it perfect for ordering in bulk.

Though the weather outside may be frightful, you'll delight in the marketing ROI you'll get with our promotional apparel.
