You can make a statement at your next party too! Check out these awesome Promotional Cosmo Shakers available in a variety of colors:

Custom Cosomo Double Wall Insulated Bottle #10095747

Let me tell you why this product as well as so many others from this drinkware company ROCK. They do a fantastic job with multi-color printing and tight registration. Some people have brand standards in their logo that can not be modified. Don’t worry- we can help you with that!

Drinkware has been very popular in the promotional products industry. Why you ask? Well… when was the last time you threw away a glass? I can honestly say never! Whether it’s a wine glass, shot glass, martini glass, pint glass, or even a champagne glass..everyone has a use for it! (a little secret from my parties… fill them all with candy and use them as a centerpiece or flip them upside down and add a tea candle for unique height)

Another great gift to give your client at your next party is a customized bottle tote! This has been a HOT seller this year at USimprints.com. This neoprene wine tote insulates one bottle up to four hours, and stores flat. The BUILT brand is known nationwide… who doesn’t love a name brand gift? We also offer a printing process called Image Bonding that allows a full color customized logo to be printed on all of the BUILT products…. It’s pretty sweet… like a good wine!

Cold Weather Marketing & Promo Ideas: Our Favorites! http://www.usimprints.com/blog/cold-weather-marketing-promo-ideas-our-favorites/ http://www.usimprints.com/blog/cold-weather-marketing-promo-ideas-our-favorites/#comments Sat, 10 Nov 2012 15:25:34 +0000 Natalie http://www.usimprints.com/blog/?p=2364 Okay… Seriously? Who turned the furnace off outside? All of a sudden this past week I’ve been having to put the seat warmers on in my car and turn the heat up in my apartment. And of course… I get yelled at because the heating bill is “going to go through the roof”. Even the office is cold! It’s like I can’t escape. If you can imagine how much I complain when I’m inside, just think about the whining I’ll be doing when I’m tailgating this weekend out in the cold (GO DAWGS!!!).

Or maybe I won’t be complaining as much as I think… As the weather is only beginning to cool off (or in my mind entering the second ice age) it’s time to start thinking about some promotional products that will surely be in the hands of your clients for the next few months!

Promotional Picnic Blanket #8241921

Promotional Picnic Blanket #8241921

Fleece blankets quite possibly are my most favorite thing in the world. And I’m not just saying that –  Its inevitable when your feet are always cold (even in socks).  I ALWAYS have one on my couch; no matter the weather. This fold up blanket is a great way to get your brand out and about and off the couch. Because its so compact its definitely going to make its way to outdoor sporting events such as high school football games, campfires, and tailgates! More than likely they will be shared as well! If I’m cold and standing outside for hours at a time, you can bet I’m cuddling up with someone who has some warmth!

Whats also great about this fold up promotional blanket is that it can be used during the spring and summer for picnics, beach trips, laying out under the stars and other outings! So not only is it awesome for the winter its pretty perfect giveaway for the entire year!

X-grill - Compact Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill #9467958

Whats even worse than being cold… is being cold and eating cold food. Seriously, who wants to eat cold sandwiches when they’re standing in a parking lot and there are flurries coming down out there? Uh not me, that’s for sure! Sure coolers a great to keep your beverages cold. But lets get real, having a grill is the way to go — no more amateur tailgating. Lets step it up a bit. I can’t tell you how many random fans come up to our tailgates asking if we have any burgers to spare. The second question is usually, “That thing is so cool! Where did you get that?!” So not only are you stepping outside of the box  by giving your client a pretty sweet gift… it also gets your clients talking to other people about your company! Not to mention all the envious people who walk by and see it too!

Promotional Neoprene Double Bottle Wine Tote #9124659

And for the ladies who need a little more than hot chocolate and a hot dog to warm up there is always the option of a wine tote. i honestly had never really seen a wine tote like this until I started working here. Shocker… considering I’m friends with some pretty serious wino’s. Not only are they great to bring to the tailgate, but they’re also a great holiday gift. I can’t tell you how many times this would have come in handy when going to a holiday party or gathering where I’ve brought bottles of wine as a nice gesture. It could have saved the hassle of hearing the bottles clanging around in the trunk when they escaped the paper bag with a cardboard divider. And definitely could have made me look a little classier when entering someone’s house. They’re also great because they’re reusable and probably won’t be thrown away after one party. What stinks about other promotional products is that people don’t really tend to mind if they lose the sticky pad or let someone borrow their pen- because they’re replaceable. When you give a good quality product people will tend to hang onto them longer — meaning more exposure to your brand.

So as you’re freezing your buns off at the next tailgate or your child’s football game (maybe don’t bring the wine there…) and you see others enjoying their warm promotional goodies don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

Let me know if I can assist you in any way! I’m tellin’ ya… it’s going to be a cold one this winter so start planning now for your companies 4th quarter, Christmas, and client corporate gifts!

Combat Stress with Unique Giveaways, From Stress Balls to Hand Massagers http://www.usimprints.com/blog/combat-stress-with-unique-giveaways-from-stress-balls-to-hand-massagers/ http://www.usimprints.com/blog/combat-stress-with-unique-giveaways-from-stress-balls-to-hand-massagers/#comments Tue, 06 Nov 2012 19:15:49 +0000 Natalie http://www.usimprints.com/blog/?p=2348 Lately I have been very stressed and who doesn’t get stressed at some point, especially towards the end of the year with all of the holidays, travel, family, and parties. Since it’s a part of life (these days) why not “de-stress ” them with a fun stress reliever? I think they are one of the absolute best giveaway item, especially at tradeshows! Forget the boring stress ball and get creative. Stand out from the rest of the crowd!

Here are some of the neat ways our customers have used them.

We had a recent customer who is a judge place an order for a stress reliever in the shape of a gavel.

Bus drivers are another customer that we have seen a few orders from to relieve a little stress.  They obviously deal with a lot of people and even children on a daily basis. We have them in all shapes to best fit your company.

Promotional School Bus Stress Reliever #8214290

Another way to let go of some stress is with a little massage. Going to a spa takes time and money so save a few bucks with a fun hand massager that you can use at your desk or on the couch watching TV. Of course you can change it up with fun shapes like a hand, foot, or even a football. Get rid of the knots and keep on working.

Customized Hand Shape Massager #8056569

Let go of the stress and let us help you with your promotional needs. You could relate it to something with your business or do something fun for the season. We would be happy to help you let go of the stress and replace it with promotional gain!

One last favorite:

Promo Christmas Tree Shape Stress Ball #8056377

We have tons of other custom imprinted stress balls at USimprints.com.

Weekly Product Fave’ | Waterproof Valuables Pouch http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-fave-waterproof-valuables-pouch/ http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-fave-waterproof-valuables-pouch/#comments Mon, 21 May 2012 19:33:21 +0000 Shari http://www.usimprints.com/blog/?p=2169 It’s almost summer time, which means it is time to head outdoors and get your swim on!  If you’re anything like me, your phone might as well be a part of your body, because you take it with you wherever you go.  When I’m outside near the water I’m always wondering if I’ll be the person who drowns their phone that day.

 

 

 

 

 

I don’t worry anymore, because I now have a Waterproof Valuables Pouch which keeps my phone safe from the water.  I realize that there are tons of waterproof pouches you can purchase, but this one is unique because you can actually use your touch screen phone while it is in the pouch!  I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the touch screen really working, but it does!  We even made a quick little video to show you.

What a video demo of an iPhone being used through the waterproof pouch

Pretty cool, huh?  A few other great features about this pouch is that you have a large imprint area (3″ x 2 3/8″) on the front window and the lanyard is adjustable and has a breakaway cord (so you don’t choke yourself while jet skiing).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On a final note, our Promotional Waterproof Valuables Pouch is on sale through July 14th!

Weekly Product Fave | Sip n’ Go Glass Water Bottle http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-fave-sip-n-go-glass-water-bottle/ http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-fave-sip-n-go-glass-water-bottle/#comments Fri, 11 May 2012 03:15:12 +0000 Shari http://www.usimprints.com/blog/?p=2116 Some of my favorite restaurants of all time serve my water in a glass.  I’m not sure what it is about drinking from glass versus plastic, but it just seems right.  When I’m at home I drink just about everything from good ol’ fashioned mason jars, but since they are not very handy for taking on the go, I’m happy to have finally found something that it!

My pick this week is the 20 oz. Sip n’ Go Glass Water Bottle.  It has a very sturdy twist on cap with a pull-up spout for drinking.  I think what makes this glass drinking vessel so cool is the netted designed of the silicone sleeve which encases the bottle.  In my opinion it gives it a rugged, yet pretty look at the same time.  Since I am not a fan of hand washing, this bottle is great because it is (top rack) dishwasher safe!  No dish pan hands here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are looking for something a little more fancy and fun than a plain plastic water bottle, the Sip N’ Go would be the perfect pick for your next promotion!

Weekly Product Faves! | Promotional Camping Items http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-faves-promotional-camping-items/ http://www.usimprints.com/blog/weekly-product-faves-promotional-camping-items/#comments Thu, 03 May 2012 19:18:25 +0000 Shari http://www.usimprints.com/blog/?p=2079 Happy Thursday y’all!  We’re starting a blog topic category called “Weekly Product Faves” in which we’ll choose a product each week and highlighting on some of the cool features that make it awesome!  Of course for my first post on this topic, I wasn’t able to choose just one, so I picked two!

The first is item #10423566 - Folding Chair With Padded Seat And Back Rest.  You might be asking “what is so special about a folding chair?”  Well, here’s the skinny on what makes this chair so great:

• It as the ability to recline into not one, but three different positions.

• The arm rests are adjustable and the drink holder on the arm of the chair is insulated.

• There is a storage area on the back of the chair (for magazines, sunscreen, etc.)

The chair can also hold up to 300 lbs. and it comes in a carrying bag with a handle.  Simply put, this chair is pimped out! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to close down my laptop and head to the lake!

But since it’s not quite Friday, I’ll continue on with my other “fave” which is item #8213499 - High Sierra Four LED Lantern.  This lantern has a sleek looking modern design.  Some of the great features include:

• Built in compass for those us (like myself) who are “directionally challenged”.

• The lantern has 20 LED lights which makes it super bright.

• It has a carrying handle AND a hook (in case you need to hang it on a tree or in your tent).

I would be a happy camper (pun intended) to have this lantern alongside me on my next outdoor adventure!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both of these items are great product picks for outdoorsy people.  I hope that if you love the great outdoors that you can get outside and enjoy this nice Spring weather before it gets too hot!
