Spring Fever: Imprinted Frisbees + Flyers

by Natalie on February 19, 2013 in Uncategorized

Spring time is on it’s way which means a lot more of outdoor time. During the spring months, I like to set aside at least one day for outdoor activities. Custom flyers can be taken with you to the beach, park or just the backyard. If you have kids or maybe you are a kid at heart, promotional frisbees and flyers are a great promo item to use outside with your kids, family, friends, or dog on a nice spring day.

Custom frisbees are a fun and unique way to promote your brand. They are relatively inexpensive and a great tradeshow giveaway for this time of year. The sky is the limit when it comes to marketing your brand and one of our frisbees could do just the trick.

Spring Fever: Custom Totes and Bags

by Natalie on February 19, 2013 in Uncategorized

Although it may not feel like it outside today, spring is on it’s way. It has been great having a cold winter this year (I’m a girl who is a fan of having all 4 seasons), but I have to say that I have finally gotten to that point where I am ready for some warmth. I love flowers in bloom, afternoon walks in the neighborhood, drives to the beach before the heat gets too much, reading a good book on the patio, picnics in the park and just getting to spend a lot more time outdoors.

In order to do any of my favorite spring activities, you need a good tote bag to carry around all your lose items. Whether you are toting things to the park, pool, beach, or just walking around the neighborhood, you need something to carry your loose items.

Here are a few of my favorite promotional totes and bags for spring.

The Eco-Responsible Enviro-shopper is a great versatile bag. It collapsible, light and thin, so you can put carry it with you wherever you go. Custom polypropylene totes are the perfect accessory for the farmer’s market in the spring to fill up with fresh fruit, veggies and bread.

Promotional Eco-responsible Enviro-shopper #8214156

Everyone needs an inexpensive personalized drawstring bag to carry around with ease. The Non-woven sports pack is essential for sporting events, bike rides, or any event where you need to carry a few things but need full hand and arm range.

Promotional Non-woven Sports Pack #10390790

Who said the custom fanny pack was out of style? Retro products are all the rage, and the promotional fanny pack is no exception. I love to go antiquing and out to the flea market when the spring weather rolls in. The promotional budget fanny pack is a great item to keep my cash in while I browse the market for treasures.

Promotional Budget Fanny Pack #10390865

Imprinted jute and cotton totes are probably my favorite type of bag. I love the natural feel and look of them, and find them to be very trendy and fashionable.The Promotional Juco Eco-responsible Tote Bag is a great bag to take with you to the beach, park, gym, in the car, etc.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Custom Trade Show Giveaways.

by Natalie on February 15, 2013 in Uncategorized

ASI Trade Show

As the new year kicks off into full swing, you may be planning an exhibit in an upcoming trade show. If you are looking to attract some new business, trade shows are a great way to accomplish this but at a cost. While they are not cheap, they could be your company’s leading source of new business this year.

If your business is participating in a trade show, one thing you are definitely going to need are a few promotional product giveaways. In case you did not make enough of a lasting impression at your exhibit, send your potential customers home with something to remember you. Below are a few do’s and don’ts of custom trade show giveaways.

1. DO Pick a product with a large, clear imprint area. After spending money on a trade show, the last thing you want to do is pass out giveaways with a logo that is too small or illegible. Trade shows are full of competitors. If the potential customer goes home and can’t read your logo, chances are they made contact with another one of your competitors at the trade show. Bottom line: It is very important for your logo to stand out.

2. DON’T pick a large, bulky item. Bigger doesn’t always mean better. If they can’t carry it, they are probably not going to want it. You need to chose items that are compact, lightweight, and can fit in a large tote bag. If you have some cool larger items, display them at the show or do a raffle for one person to win.

3. DO pick items you know they won’t immediately want to throw away. You need to select useful items with a purpose. Value is essential. If the potential client sees value in an item, they won’t be looking for the nearest trash bin once they are out of your sight. Imprinted acrylic tumblers or other custom drinkware are great options, as well as promotional pens, journals, and polypropylene totes.

4. DON’T pick items that don’t apply. Even though there are a lot of trendy, unique items on the market right now that doesn’t necessarily mean they are great way to build your particular brand. If they do not apply to your audience, they will not be very effective. You want these potential customers to go home, and rummage through their promotional tote bag of giveaways and know exactly who you are based on your brand and the giveaway items. There needs to be a direct correlation between your company and the product you gave them to take home.

by Natalie on January 29, 2013 in Uncategorized

What better way to cheer on your team with a little added noise. This particular cowbell is available in white, red, black, brown and blue.

Natalie’s Favorite Promotional Products to Help you Brave the Winter!

by Natalie on January 16, 2013 in Ideas & Inspiration, Promotional Products, Seasonal

Here in Franklin, TN, we are experiencing some very cold weather. Last year we had a very mild winter (along with the rest of the country), and it seems as if this year is the exact opposite. We have been under a freeze warning the past few days, and the forecast seems to only be getting colder. I don’t mind really, I kind of actually enjoy the weather (as long as I am indoors of course.)Below are a few of my favorite promotional products you can use to brave these winter months…

Since we are experiencing ice and freezing rain, the first thing I need is a good promotional ice scraper. I hate getting ready in the morning and racing out to my car to heat it up only to find ice on the windshield. I am complaining, but I don’t even live in the coldest part of the country! Promotional ice scrapers are essential to braving the winter months especially if you live in northern part of the US.

Promotional Great Lakes Ice Scraper #8154443

You can’t have ice without freezing rain. If you are out baring the cold, you definitely need to keep an umbrella close by. Custom umbrellas are a great giveaway item because they are extremely practical and useful. Promotional umbrellas are a great way to brand your logo outdoors on the next rainy day.

Promotional Telescopic Folding Umbrella #8306446

Whether you are trying to stay warm indoors or having to brave the cold outside at sporting event, you definitely need a promotional blanket. Imprinted blankets are a great marketing piece especially during the cold winter months.

Customized Coffee Mugs + Tumblers: Which kind of mug are you?

by Natalie on January 14, 2013 in Ideas & Inspiration, Promotional Products, Uncategorized

My guilty pleasure is coffee. Plain and simple it is my vice. I am not dependent on it for the caffeine (anymore); I just love and crave the flavor. I usually have 1-2 cups a day. If you are a coffee drinker then you know how expensive it can get if you are not brewing your own java at home. I compiled a few of my favorite promotional mugs and tumblers to drink my coffee at home or on the go.

My favorite way to have my coffee is in a mug. Whether I am at a restaurant, at the office or drinking a cup at home, it is simply the best. I bought my husband a new coffee machine for Christmas. If we were addicted before, we are even more addicted now. Since we are both coffee drinkers, we go through several mugs. Custom ceramic mugs are ideal for restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. Employers also can purchase promotional ceramic mugs with their company logo for their employees to use in and out of the office.

Promotional 36-Hour Metro Mug #8187775

Promotional Cuppajo Ceramic Diner Mug #8187114

For years, I have been a big fan of travel mugs. A regular ceramic mug can be a pain in the car. Most of them do not fit in the cup holder, so you end up having to drive with one hand and end up with coffee splattered in the car and on your clothes. Imprinted travel mugs keep your drinks hot for longer, so you are able to enjoy your coffee without having to reheat for a lot longer. We also have several new travel mugs that are for cold and hot beverages. These double-wall travel mugs make it possible to transport your hot coffee in the winter months and your teas and iced coffee during the summer without having to keep a whole cabinet full of drinkware.

Promotional Travis Double Wall Tumbler #10102798

Promotional Clearview-Clear Acrylic 15 Oz Tumbler #10378119

People prefer to go to Starbucks or other coffee shops rather than brewing their own for various reasons. One reason may be that you prefer to drink it out of their to-go mugs. The past few years we have seen a huge rise in these promotional double-wall tumblers with matching lid. They look just like a to-go cup only they are reusable, and you can put your own company logo on it. These custom double-wall tumblers are made out of plastic, glass, or polypropylene and are available in a variety of colors and styles.

Promotional Wake-up Classic #9757079

11 Oz. Double Wall Ceramic Mug With Silicon Lid #10391415

Promotional 16 Oz. Double Wall Plastic Tumbler With Lid #9263088

Promotional Mega Double-wall Glass 15 Oz Tumbler With Silicone Lid #10369517

Promotional Products to Help You Stay Healthy this Flu Season!

by Natalie on January 10, 2013 in Ideas & Inspiration, Promotional Products, Uncategorized

Unless you live under a rock somewhere, then you know how the news has been reporting on the severity of the flu this season. Apparently, it has shown up earlier this year than in years past which is all the more reason to play it safe.

Germs are everywhere. One product we all need to be using is hand sanitizer. People that are sick are out and in about which is why it is very important to be washing your hands constantly or using hand sanitizer. Promotional hand sanitizer is a great item to pass out to your employees to help keep them healthy and in the office. Discount hand sanitizers are also a great product for trade shows this time of year.

Promotional Credit Card Style Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer Spray #9492768

Another promotional product that will help you stay healthy this flu season is the custom pill box. Whether you have the flu or are trying to stay away from it, it is important to take your vitamins or any other medication. I don’t know about you, but I am not a good medicine taker. By carrying an imprinted pill box with me, it is easier to remember to take my vitamins when it catches my eye throughout the day.

Promotional Primary Pill Organizer #8154541

Believe it or not, water can be very important to helping ward off the flu. Studies have shown that by drinking the recommended amount of water a day (8 glasses) your chances are less likely to get the flu. The promotional water bottle is the easiest and cheapest way to make sure you and your employees are getting your daily dose. The Promotional Hitgreen Poly-clean Plastic Bottle is a great choice to keep you hydrated and healthy all year long.
