      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Promotional product trends come and go, but there&apos;s one giveaway that will never go away: <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/79/">promotional pens</a>. Here are 8 reasons why pens will always be the number one promotional product around:<br /> <br /> <ol> 	<li><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1131/79/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/main/898regular.jpg" alt="promotional pens" title="promotional pens" width="200" height="200" align="right" /></a>Pens can be combined nicely with other gifts, such as promotional notepads and portfolios. <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1131/79/">The #1 Pen Deal on The Web</a> is a great choice for this use. It looks like a high-end stainless steel pen, but it&apos;s an absolute bargain with buy one get one free pricing.</li> 	<li>They&apos;re just the right size for promoting your website.</li> 	<li>Pens are extremely affordable. T<a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/419/79/">he #1 Selling Bic Round Stic</a>, for example, sells for less than a quarter a piece.</li> 	<li>People use pens every single day, which means constant exposure to your brand.</li> 	<li>Pens go through a handful of owners in their lifetime. A single pen can market to 5, 6, 7, or more people.</li> 	<li>Pens appeal to people of all ages, as well as both men and women.</li> 	<li>They come in a wide variety of styles. For example the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1092/281/">Cutter &amp; Buck Signature Gold Roller</a> is sophisticated and handsome enough to give as corporate gifts.</li> 	<li>Pens are useful. They won&apos;t get tossed out or stuck in a drawer like some other promotional products.<br /> </li> </ol><br /> That&apos;s just a small sampling of the reasons that pens are still tops when it comes to promotional products. No matter what your current marketing plan is, every business should always have a plenty promotional pens around.<!--more--><br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional products">promotional products</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional products"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional products.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo pens">logo pens</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo pens"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo pens.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional pens">promotional pens</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional pens"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional pens.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/pens with logos">pens with logos</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pens with logos"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/pens with logos.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo pencils">logo pencils</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo pencils"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo pencils.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The company picnic is a long-standing tradition in the business world. Improve upon the tradition this summer by going green! Here are some simple ways you can have an environmentally-friendly company picnic.<br /> <br /> No picnic is complete without a wide array of cold, delicious beverages&hellip;which also means piles of discarded plastic or Styrofoam cups. This year, serve your drinks in a reusable cup, such as the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/106/">Best Stainless Travel Mug</a>. With all your employees using the Best Stainless Travel Mug at your picnic, they won&apos;t be contributing to the 25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups Americans throw out every year.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/686/138/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/thumb/7900_04detail.jpg" alt="reusable tote bag" title="reusable tote bag" width="80" height="80" align="left" /></a>When you&apos;re buying all those burgers and hot dogs, be sure to carry your purchases in a reusable tote bag. <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/686/138/">The Classic Cotton Meeting Tote</a> is an affordable alternative to the billions of plastic bags that end up in our oceans, killing more than 100,000 marine mammals and turtles every year.<br /> <br /> Another way to reduce your use of plastic bags is to order up some <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1199/138/">100% Post Consumer Recycled Deluxe Tote Bags</a>. These Earth-friendly totes make excellent employee appreciation gifts to hand out during your picnic. With 600 plastic bags being thrown out each second in the U.S., an attractive, sturdy tote like this one can really make a difference.<br /> <br /> You&apos;ll enjoy your picnic even more knowing that you&apos;re minimizing your environmental footprint. Be sure to separate your recyclables from the rest of the trash to recycle after the picnic is over!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional products">promotional products</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional products"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional products.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional tote bag">promotional tote bag</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional tote bag"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional tote bag.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/eco-friendly tote bag">eco-friendly tote bag</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/eco-friendly tote bag"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/eco-friendly tote bag.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/reusable tote bag">reusable tote bag</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/reusable tote bag"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/reusable tote bag.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo tote bag">logo tote bag</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo tote bag"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo tote bag.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Come on in, the water&apos;s fine! As the weather heats up, people are heading to the beach to cool off. Take full advantage of the summer season with promotional beach items. Check out our five favorite reasons for using surf-and-sand freebies in your next marketing campaign.<br /> <br /> <ul> 	<li><strong><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1157/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/thumb/bt8thumb2.JPG" alt="promotional beach accessories" title="promotional beach accessories" width="99" height="96" align="right" /></a>The great outdoors:</strong> Your logo doesn&apos;t belong stuck in a drawer! It should be out in the sun for all to see. By their very nature, promotional beach items are meant to be outside where they can be seen by potential customers. T<a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1157/">he Budget Beater 8 Pound Beach Towel</a> is the perfect example. Giving out promotional beach towels is as good as buying beachfront advertising space!</li> </ul> <ul> 	<li><strong>Fun in the sun:</strong> With promotional beach items, your customers are seeing your logo while they&apos;re having a good time. It will build positive associations with your brand.</li> </ul> <ul> 	<li><strong>All summer long:</strong> You know that you&apos;ve got at least three solid months of exposure with beach items. Every time your customer spends the day at the lake, beach or neighborhood, your <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1153/">Beach Mat</a> will come along!</li> </ul> <ul> 	<li><strong><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/?module=products&amp;action=submitsearch&amp;f_boolean=all&amp;f_keyword=pacific+trail+cooler&amp;=search"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/thumb/3100_50detail.jpg" alt="logo coolers" title="logo coolers" width="80" height="80" align="right" /></a>Multi-purpose:</strong> Lots of beach-themed items have other uses as well. For instance, the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/?module=products&amp;action=submitsearch&amp;f_boolean=all&amp;f_keyword=pacific+trail+cooler&amp;=search">Pacific Trail Cooler</a> can be taken to ball games or used as a lunch bag. When the leaves have turned and the kids are back in school, your customers will still be sporting your logo around town.</li> </ul> <ul> 	<li><strong>Perennial appearances: </strong>When the shorts and sandals come out of the closet, so too will your beach-themed promotional products.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The age old quest&hellip;no, we&apos;re not talking about the Holy Grail. We&apos;re talking about the search for the perfect promotional product for your next tradeshow. Here are four reasons why <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/160/" target="_blank">promotional golf umbrellas</a> are just the treasure you&apos;ve been hunting for.<br /> <br /> <ol> 	<li><strong>Draw a crowd:</strong> Offering a fun game (with prizes of course!) is a great way to draw a crowd. Set up a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1064/160/" target="_blank">Chip N Putt Golf Umbrella</a> with a few clubs and a couple of balls and let visitors try it out. Make a putt, get a prize!</li> 	<li><strong>Drawings and prize wheels:</strong> To make the most of out a drawing, the prize has to be one that visitors are really excited about. Umbrellas are useful, substantial giveaways. They&apos;re practical, and the winners will feel like they&apos;re getting something of value. The <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1115/160/">Budget Beater 60 Inch Arc Fiberglass Umbrella</a> is a particularly good choice because you can talk up its cool features like lightning-proof construction.</li> 	<li><strong>Pre-tradeshow marketing: </strong>Tradeshow gurus will tell you that the sure way to a successful event is advanced marketing. Luring your loyal customers to the tradeshow with the promise of a gift only works if the gift is something the customer really wants. <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/868/160/">The Best Value 60 Golf Umbrella</a> is tempting bait. Its perceived value is much higher than a standard umbrella.<br /> </li> </ol> <p>Becoming a part of the customer&apos;s daily life: Ideally, your promo item will become a part of the customer&apos;s daily life so that they (and the folks they spend time with) will be exposed to your brand on a regular basis. An umbrella definitely won&apos;t wind up in a junk drawer or worse&hellip;the circular file!</p> <p><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/golf-umbrella-sale"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/landingpage/default/umbrella-landing.jpg" alt="golf umbrella sale" title="golf umbrella sale" vspace="5" width="220" height="230" align="left" /></a>Don&#39;t forget about our Golf Umbrella Sale that is happening just through the end of the month - that&#39;s only 4 more days to <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/golf-umbrella-sale"><strong>Save 10%!</strong></a></p> <p>If you need other golf supplies - check out our <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/golf-sale">Golf Sale</a> - only through the end of May!&nbsp;</p><br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional golf accessories">promotional golf accessories</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional golf accessories"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional golf accessories.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/golf umbrellas">golf umbrellas</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/golf umbrellas"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/golf umbrellas.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promo golf umbrella">promo golf umbrella</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promo golf umbrella"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promo golf umbrella.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional golf umbrella">promotional golf umbrella</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional golf umbrella"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional golf umbrella.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo umbrella">logo umbrella</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo umbrella"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo umbrella.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Savvy pre-tradeshow publicity can guarantee you a steady stream of visitors to your booth. Smart businesses contact their customers in advance and personally invite them to stop by their booth at the upcoming event.<br /> <br /> Invitations are nice, but incentives are even better. The promise of a special gift is just the thing to convince your customers to attend the tradeshow. Using <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/538/170/">custom-printed wooden nickels</a> is a creative, attention-grabbing way to do this.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/280/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/thumb/1660-04thumb.JPG" alt="imprinted usb" title="imprinted usb" vspace="5" width="105" height="85" align="left" /></a>Businesses often make the mistake of offering the same inexpensive item to all their visitors, both important customers and &quot;gift grabbers&quot; alike. A better approach is to order a high-end gift, like a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/280/">Foldout USB Flash Drive 1G</a> that you give only to your top clients.<br /> <br /> Let your customers know about this special offer by mailing them a token they can take to your booth and redeem for their gift. The <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/538/170/">classic Wooden Nickel</a> is the perfect choice. You can print your logo on one side and &quot;Good for one special gift&quot; on the other. Another bonus of using a wooden nickel instead of a paper coupon is the &quot;lumpy mail&quot; effect. The lump piques the recipient&apos;s curiosity, and they&apos;re much more likely to open the letter.<br /> <br /> Tip: Set up the USB flash drive to load your company&apos;s presentation!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/usb flash drive">usb flash drive</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/usb flash drive"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/usb flash drive.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional usb drive">promotional usb drive</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional usb drive"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional usb drive.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo wooden nickel">logo wooden nickel</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo wooden nickel"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo wooden nickel.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional items">promotional items</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional items"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional items.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Anyone can set up a booth and hand out business cards, but it takes a savvy networker to make solid contacts. Here are four tips for making the most out of your next tradeshow - all of which can be done with a simple promotional pen or pencil!<br /> <br /> <ol> 	<li><strong>Build up some hype: </strong>Get in touch with your customers and other contacts in advance. Let them know you&apos;ll have a booth at the tradeshow and encourage them to attend. Leave them some promotional <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/382/80/">Bic Clic Stic</a> pens (one of the top selling pens in the whole world!) as a reminder.</li> 	<li><strong>Stand guard at the door: </strong>Post a couple of representatives near the entrance. Be the first to greet visitors as they walk in the door. Hand them a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/97/">Best Value Pencil</a> with your business card attached and ask them to visit your booth.</li> 	<li><strong>Always attach a business card:</strong> Attach a business card to every promotional product you hand out. Potential clients can stick it in their rolodex - making them more likely to remember you (and contact you).</li> 	<li><strong>Reserve something special for the best leads:</strong> Appeal to the ego a bit with an exclusive promotional product just for top contacts. If you&apos;re handing out promotional pencils, reserve a high-end pen for the important visitors. For a handsome pen that belies its low price, check out the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1131/79/">#1 Pen Deal On The Web</a>.<br /> </li> </ol><br /> With these four simple steps, you can maximize your tradeshow networking potential.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional pens">promotional pens</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional pens"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional pens.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/tradeshow gift ideas">tradeshow gift ideas</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tradeshow gift ideas"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/tradeshow gift ideas.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo pens">logo pens</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo pens"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo pens.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional pencils">promotional pencils</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional pencils"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional pencils.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo pencils">logo pencils</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo pencils"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo pencils.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

Here are three ideas for making promotional products a fun part of your Teacher Appreciation Week festivities.<br /> <ol> 	<li><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/525/105/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/thumb/rst16detail.jpg" alt="promo travel mug" title="promo travel mug" width="80" height="80" align="right" /></a>A travel mug full of goodies: Get the week started right by delivering a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/525/105/">16 oz #1 Selling Roadster Travel Mug</a> to all of your teachers. Sweeten the deal by filling the mug with candies and treats.</li> 	<li>Set them up for summer vacation: The long-awaited summer vacation is just around the bend. Encourage your teachers to take some much needed R&amp;R by giving them comfortable portable chairs like the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/847/158/">#1 Camp Chair On The Web</a>. They&#39;re perfect for the beach, picnics, camping and outdoor summer concerts.</li> 	<li>Breakfast buffet: Decorate the cafeteria with balloons and streamers - then load down the tables with donuts, coffee cake, fresh fruit, and muffins. During breakfast, hand out colorful ball caps featuring your school&#39;s name and mascot. The <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/568/135/">Price Buster 5 Panel Screened Cap</a> is buy one get one free, so you can afford caps for your whole staff.<br /> </li> </ol> Also - don&#39;t forget that during the month of May, we&#39;re having a Golf Sale! <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/golf-sale?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=5-9-08umbpost&amp;utm_campaign=golfsalelink">Check it out.</a><br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional travel mug">promotional travel mug</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional travel mug"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional travel mug.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/appreciation gifts">appreciation gifts</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/appreciation gifts"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/appreciation gifts.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional gifts">promotional gifts</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional gifts"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional gifts.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo camp chair">logo camp chair</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo camp chair"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo camp chair.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo apparel">logo apparel</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo apparel"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo apparel.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Umbrellas may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you&#39;re shopping for promotional products. We&#39;re prepared to change that! Umbrellas are some of the best promo giveaways on the market.<br /> Need proof? Here are 7 reasons why we love umbrellas:<br /> <br /> Umbrellas make an impressive gift. Umbrellas are large, and the recipient knows they don&#39;t come cheaply. For an even more impressive gift, select an umbrella that comes with a matching sleeve, such as the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/868/160/" target="_blank">Best Value 60 Golf Umbrella</a>.<br /> <br /> Umbrellas don&#39;t go out of style. You can order in bulk with confidence, knowing that they won&#39;t be outdated in a few years. A sleek umbrella in classic black is always a winner. Check out the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/858/160/">Briefcase Mini Manual Open Compact Umbrella</a>.<br /> <br /> Umbrellas are anything but ordinary. Promotional umbrellas are unexpected, so you&#39;ll make an impression and stand out from the crowd. For a real stand-out, order the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/1064/160/">Chip N Putt Golf Umbrella</a>. It pulls double-duty as a golf umbrella that also features chipping and putting targets.<br /> <br /> Whether rainy or sunny, people need umbrellas. Umbrellas can be used year-round and in every part of the country.<br /> <br /> Universal appeal: Umbrellas are gender neutral, and everyone needs them.<br /> <br /> Can you imagine someone throwing away a brand new umbrella? Neither can we! Umbrellas will never get tossed out the way a keychain or pencil might.<br /> <br /> Umbrellas can be used for years, making a great return on your investment.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/865/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=5-5-08umbpost&amp;utm_campaign=umbrellaimg"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/landingpage/default/golf-umbrella-lp.jpg" alt="golf umbrella sale" title="golf umbrella sale" width="220" height="220" align="left" /></a><strong>Don&#39;t miss out on our umbrella sale through the end of May!&nbsp; </strong></p> <p class="landingintro">Order during the month of May and save 10% off the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/865/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=5-5-08umbpost&amp;utm_campaign=umbrellalink">Hurricane Wind-Proof Vented 62 Golf Umbrella</a>.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Your house, your car, and even your fine jewelry&hellip;you take out insurance policies on your most valuable possessions. Well, there&#39;s something missing from that list: your laptop. Not only is a good laptop expensive, it also holds important documents and information. Purchase some insurance for your laptop with a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/browsecategory/133/">promotional computer bag</a>.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/908/173/"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/i/products/main/1900-59regular.JPG" alt="logo laptop bag" title="logo laptop bag" width="268" height="233" align="left" /></a>We really put our laptops through the ringer. We tote them with us everywhere, pulling them in and out of their carrying cases dozens of times a day. You need a computer bag made from a high-quality material that can stand up to wear and tear. Dobby nylon is an incredibly strong material used by <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/?module=products&amp;action=submitsearch&amp;f_boolean=all&amp;f_keyword=neotec&amp;=search">Neotec</a> in their <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/908/">Deluxe Compu Attache</a> and <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/989/173/">Neotec Compu-Brief</a> models.<br /> <br /> Sometimes we get a little careless and pile items on top of our computer. That&#39;s why you need a laptop bag with a high-quality compression guard. <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/908/">The Neotec Deluxe Compu Attache</a> and Neotec Compu-Brief both offer this patent-pending feature.<br /> <br /> Our laptop is our travel buddy on all our business trips. Ensure your laptop a safe ride through the crowded airport with the <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/991/173/">Neotec Deluxe Wheeled Compu-Attache</a>. No need to worry if turbulence bangs your bag around. The molded base corners will keep your laptop protected.<br /> <br /> Investing in a quality computer bag is a lot cheaper than replacing a broken laptop. Even if you faithfully back up your hard drive, you&#39;re sure to lose some important information. Save yourself the expense and the hassle: get insurance for your laptop!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional laptop bags">promotional laptop bags</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional laptop bags"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional laptop bags.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo computer bags">logo computer bags</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo computer bags"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo computer bags.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional computer bags">promotional computer bags</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional computer bags"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional computer bags.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/laptop bags">laptop bags</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/laptop bags"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/laptop bags.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <strong>Replace &quot;Can I help you?&quot; with &quot;What caught your eye?&quot;</strong><br /> <br /> &quot;No thanks, I&#39;m just looking.&quot; That&#39;s the standard response when you pose the question, &quot;Can I help you?&quot; The possibility for a conversation has been completely shut down. At a tradeshow, you can&#39;t afford to lose out on opportunities to make your pitch.<br /> <br /> From now on, ask &quot;What caught your eye?&quot; or &quot;What are you interested in?&quot; Those two questions are much more engaging. Also, you&#39;re showing an interest in what the visitor wants and needs. You&#39;ve shifted from an &quot;I&quot; sentence to a &quot;you&quot; sentence.<br /> <br /> A visitor who was initially only interested in snagging a free goodie might discover that they&#39;re actually interested in your business, too! After all, you paid for a booth in order to promote your business, not play Santa Claus with pens and tote bags. With these types of engaging questions, you&#39;re taking a proactive role in initiating new contacts and customers.<br /> <br /> Once you&#39;ve had a chance to chat with the visitor, seal the deal with a <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/products/view/527/115/" target="_blank">28 oz. Sports Bottle</a>. You can get pretty thirsty after a whole day of booth hopping and networking!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/logo sports bottle">logo sports bottle</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/logo sports bottle"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/logo sports bottle.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional water bottle">promotional water bottle</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional water bottle"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional water bottle.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tag/promotional sports bottle">promotional sports bottle</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/promotional sports bottle"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/tagrss/promotional sports bottle.rss"><img src="http://www.bestpromotions.com/blog/template/blog/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>Engage visitors by placing promo products at the back of the booth</strong><br /> <br /> Most tradeshow visitors like to the do the old &quot;grab and run.&quot; They snatch a pen or keychain from the front of your table and dash off without even making eye contact.<br /> <br /> When that happens, you&apos;re losing out on the person-to-person contact that makes a lasting impact. Your logo on the promo product might stick with them, but you didn&apos;t have the opportunity to truly network. The solution to this dilemma is quite simple - display your promotional products at the back of the booth.<br /> <br /> Now you&apos;ve completely reversed the scenario. You personally hand the promo item over to the visitor, giving you a chance to shake hands and introduce yourself. Using the back of the booth technique, you&apos;ve seriously upped the return on your marketing investment.<br /> <br /> Another similar approach is to keep special promotional items in a box behind the table.
