Keep Those Important Cards Tucked Away

A promotional gift should not just be something that you give away to your clients, customers, prospects, and leads. It should definitely be a product that you would want to keep for yourself. That item should even be something that your clients and prospects see you actually using. When I saw the Pedova Card Wallet, I immediately thought that this would be an ideal gift for you to use at the next tradeshow you attend, but it’s also terrific for you to be putting into your pocket, too. Those business cards that prospects hand over to you at the table? Put them in this wallet alongside your credit cards and driver’s license. There’s even a spot to tuck away some cash. I like this item because it’s not bulky, but the sleek design looks professional and it keeps everything neatly together. Here’s a suggestion. Put your business cards in the wallets and then hand them out to your clients and prospective customers. They will already have all the information they need to get in touch with you. Place your order for these wallets today and consider your next business deal closed.

Sharpen Your Focus with This Promotional Item

We like to think we are so technologically advanced that we don’t need the basics. Goodbye answering machine, because my smartphone saves my missed calls. There’s no need to drive around aimlessly looking for that new doctor’s office because your car’s GPS will tell you where to turn right. Lugging a book with you while you sit in the waiting room is no more since that new novel is downloaded to your tablet and the latest movie is streaming. You get the picture. But we still need the basics in our lives. You can say you don’t need them but you do. Sometimes it’s nice just to hold a real book and read. Sometimes it’s great to sit down and do a crossword puzzle from a newspaper. In spite of all the high-tech goodies we have in our lives, we still need the simple ones like the dual tool pencil and crayon sharpener. Kids will always need their crayons sharpened – sure they can color online pictures with a laptop, but nothing beats crayons and a coloring book. When doing that crossword puzzle, a sharpened pencil is a must. Let Gimmees put your logo on this pencil sharpener. It’s a wonderful giveaway for your next event or tradeshow.

Pen and Paper, Pure and Simple

Although smartphones and tablet computers make it super easy to keep us informed of things, I’m a bit of a purist (and a bit old-fashioned, too, I suppose) because I tend to write myself a lot of notes. Sure, it’s easy to “jot” something down on your phone or computer but in my opinion it’s easier for me to have a piece of paper in hand with my shopping list at the grocery store or to write someone’s number down and keep it by the house phone. I like the StyleWrite Sticky Note Pad/Pen Holder for these reasons but also for another very important one: this is a “green” product. That means it is biodegradable and isn’t harmful to the environment. It looks great in an office, on a desk at home, next to your fridge, by the phone, even in the glove compartment of your car. It will even look terrific on your next tradeshow table or at your latest seminar or conference. I’m a fan and I know you’ll be a fan of this product, too. It’s not a pricey item, but it is compact and perfect to give to a customer.

Get a Good Stretch Out of Your Dollars

Stretching the dollar to go as far as it possibly can is something everyone can relate to. Consumers do it. Companies do it. We want every bit we spend to give us the maximum potential. Our dollars are precious and well-earned, so we can be reluctant to part with them. I know, because I’m one of those very reluctant people. That’s why I’ve always been a fan of products that can “multi-task” like a programmable coffee pot or a smartphone that lets me check email while I’m surfing the Web. They let me do several tasks so that I don’t feel so guilty shelling out the money when I purchase them. Here’s an easier, less expensive multi-tasking item to consider for your business: the 3 in 1 kit that offers nail grooming tools, a mirror, and a hairbrush all contained in one small package. It can be give out at tradeshows, health and wellness fairs, conventions, gyms and fitness centers, even doctors’ offices. I like this product because it fits into a pocket or any other small space and is really useful. Plus, it’s nicely priced – remember you want your dollar to go as far as it can in this economy.
