Alas, the fabled "man bag" has yet to catch on. Men appreciate portfolios as the male alternative to purses. You can carry everything you need: business cards, credit cards, pens, note pad, and lots more.

Of course, portfolios aren't just great for men. Women love them, too. Women lead incredibly busy lives, and they need products that fit their fast-paced world. Portfolios are both convenient and professional.

That's why promotional portfolios make excellent employee gifts. You can give one as a "thank you" for outstanding on-the-job performance or just to say "Happy Birthday!"

The Canvas Zippered Padfolio is priced right for stocking up. You'll always have a wonderful gift on hand for those special occasions in your employees' lives and careers. Pencils are great for trade shows, but portfolios are truly gifts.

The right portfolio can make a statement about the strength and success of your company.  A Cutter & Buck American Classic Tri-Fold Padfolio does just that. Its beautiful mahogany color and stylish flap closure puts it in a league of its own. You can give them to employees who meet with clients and vendors for a polished look that shows company pride.

The Canvas Zippered Padfolio is affordably priced, so you can wow 'em at conventions and tradeshows. It's a bargain that starts as low as $7.56 a piece. But don't let the price fool you. This promotional portfolio is constructed of durable canvas, featuring an embossed logo. Expect a line outside the tradeshow door when visitors find out what you're giving away.

A sleek leather portfolio is a common Christmas and birthday gift, something you're glad to receive from a friend or family member. That's why giving one to an employee will make a lasting mark. Nothing about the Cutter & Buck Am.Classic Tri-Fold Padfolio smacks of the "typical" employee gift. The Cutter & Buck is beautifully lined and features a magnetic closure for easy access and a sophisticated look.

Portfolios are used daily, often for a couple of years. By investing a little more in your promotional product, you can be sure your customers will have something of value that they'll associate with your company for a long time.
