Promotional Products Guaranteed to Land Valuable Desktop Real Estate

As they say in the world of real estate, it all comes down to three things: location, location, location! Make sure your promotional products are landing prime real estate as well. When it comes to keeping your logo visible, no real estate is more valuable than a desktop. Sitting at their desk, your clients and customers will be reminded of your business all day long. Plus, everyone who walks past their desk will see them, too!

The key to earning some of that coveted real estate is to give out promotional products that are truly useful and are aimed specifically at daily office use. Here are three can't-miss ideas for getting your logo on every desktop:

Absolutely everyone needs a mouse pad. You can fill that need with a Photo Process Mouse Pads. You get unlimited colors, and you can even have a photo printed on them. Use your creativity to come up with an eye-catching image.



2. Clock: The Retro Desk Clock is sure to earn a desktop spot because of its fun and kitschy style. It's a real conversation piece.



3. Calculator: Your computer's calculator function is no substitution for the real deal. The Large Desktop Calculator is easy to use and easy to read. You can expect this promo product to land on a few different desktops during its lifespan - it's sure to get "borrowed" on more than one occasion!

Delightful Winter Weather Apparel for Frightful Weather

When the weather outside is frightful, give your clients and employees something delightful! T-shirts are great promotional giveaways, but they're not warm enough to protect you from the chilly winter air. Instead, give out promotional apparel designed especially for bundling up on frosty days.



As mom always told you, you've got to put on a hat before you can go outside and play! Help keep your employees' noggins toasty warm with an Embroidered Knit Cap with Cuff. You've got 9 colors to choose from, so you're sure to find just the right color to complement your logo. Imagine how many people will see your logo as your employee sports their knit cap around town!



For a day that's chilly but not cold enough for a bulky winter coat, fleece jackets are the perfect choice. The R-Tek™ Fleece 1/4 Zip Pullover is a fashionable look with the details that make the difference, such as a relaxed bottom hem and anti-pill finish. Be sure to order some in ladies sizes so that everyone gets the perfect fit.



On a dreary, drizzly day, you need protection against the rain and sleet. Your clients and employees will love the Waterproof All Seasons Jacket. Just as the name says, this jacket will keep you dry in wet weather. Yet, it's also light enough for crisp fall days or a rainy spring day. You get more bang for your buck with this year-round jacket!

It's the Season of Giving...Give a

The holidays are a season of giving. As a business, you want to be a part of this charitable spirit. A simple way to do that is to show your appreciation to the organizations working hard to give back to your community.

On top of your own holiday giving, say thank you to local charities with promotional pens and pencils. These groups work tirelessly throughout the year, and especially during November and December. Promotional items allow you to show you care in a unique way.

The idea is a simple one. Order promotional pens and/or pencils in festival colors, imprint them with a holiday message, and attach a candy cane - there you go! It's an affordable token of appreciation, and delivering them in person establishes that person-to-person contact that's so crucial in developing long-term relationships.



The #1 Selling Bic Round Stic is absolutely perfect for this project. They're priced at less than a quarter a piece, and they come in virtually every color combination under the sun.



If a more upscale pen or pencil is in your budget, look to the #1 Pen Deal on the web (it's buy one, get one free!) or the Bic Pro Select Office Series Mechanical Pencil. (pictured below) Both are a handsome stainless steel color, and write and feel as smooth as the top premium pens on the market. These high-end writing instruments will give a little added boost to your message of appreciation.
