Enhance Business Opportunities with a Divot Fixer?

It’s the beginning of March and if you live in a place where there has been much precipitation (think snow!) this winter or if it’s just been cold and dreary, you are probably dreaming of springtime, rich green grass, and golf carts. Golf carts, you say? Yes, golf carts. Now don’t get any ideas that I play golf or even enjoy golf. But the truth is, I do like to drive by courses and see people swinging their clubs and playing on the green. Seeing golfers excited and driving those little carts around means that spring has arrived and nicer weather is here to stay. Golf is also an amazing way for you to build business opportunities with potential clients and long time customers for a number of reasons. One, it doesn’t matter your level of skill – you might be a mediocre golfer but that’s okay. You can still play with other golfers. Second, although a game may take four hours to complete, you’re not swinging your clubs that entire period. There are plenty of opportunities for you to talk business. Next, a golf game can consist of people of all ages. Oh, and while you’re on the course, give the others in your party a divot fixer. It’s an inexpensive yet completely appropriate promo item.

Drinking It All In

While I was at the gym this morning, I looked around at the other people who were taking advantage of fitness classes, treadmills, weight equipment, and elliptical machines. I noticed something that I know you’d see in every single gym across the country: water bottles. But what dawned on me is that this is a product that everyone needs to have. Who couldn’t use an 18 Oz. Metallic Poly-Saver Mate Bottle that is BPA Free? Doctors tell us to drink more liquids all the time yet most of us are on the go constantly – to work, to our kids’ activities, to the gym, to shop for groceries. Many of us don’t like the idea of using a water bottle that gets tossed into a trashcan – too much of our bottles end up in landfills and further clutter Mother Earth. So, why not put your company’s name on a sports bottle for your customers? This product is something that everyone will want to use because it can be filled up with a beverage of choice and it is reusable. It’s perfect for those on the go, people at the office, or those who just want to monitor their water intake. Plus, this bottle is priced to fit into your budget.

Just Scraping By

It’s February and for most of us – except the chosen few in Florida and other sun-kissed locales – the weather is cold and icy car windows are as common as high heating bills and the need for warm coats. So, not only do you need to go outside in bitter temperatures in the early morning hours to head off to work, but now you have to scrape your car windows AND you forgot your gloves. You find yourself shivering and scraping while you hope that the car warms up quickly. Oh wait. You’ve got your ice scraper hand mitten. Remember when that sales rep at the tradeshow gave it to you in October? Well, you were smart enough to put it in your glove compartment that same night which is where it has been waiting since that meeting. And now, your hand is warm and protected while it’s peeling away layers of ice from your windshield. You glance at the corporate logo on the mitten part. Ah, you have that great company to thank for this gift of warm hands. Now, think about this scenario as you plan to place your order – see how nicely this product comes into play? Isn’t this a great idea for your company? It sure is.
