It Doesn't Get Any Easier than This to Promote Your Biz

As a writer, I usually have a pen in hand jotting down ideas, lists, suggestions, and notes to myself. Last night while out to dinner with my kids and spouse, my son and I discussed a project he needed help with. The ideas were pouring from my brain as quickly raindrops in a hurricane, but I had no means to write them down. That’s what gave me the idea for today’s post. The BIC Clic Stic Pen is an inexpensive tool that writes beautifully and promotes any business. Some promotional items are geared towards specific industries, but not this one. Medical, banking, insurance, education, government, health and fitness, recreation, and the list goes on – all are perfect fits for this retractable pen. Gimmees has multiple color schemes so that you can pick the ones that match your business colors. These pens are priced right and are the ideal giveaway at your next meeting, event, tradeshow, or conference. Get your name out there. Choose an item that everyone can and will use. It’s simple. Let Gimmees show you how. Call us now to place your order. Let’s get writing and promoting!

I Could Use a Little Light in Here

Come on, baby, light my fire. When Jim Morrison and the Doors sang those famous words for the first time years ago, I doubt they ever imagined that they would be used for a blog post. But seriously folks, light my fire or someone else’s. You might need to do so should your power go out or for chilly nights when a little spark will simply add ambience to your living room. Everyone loves a candle, and Gimmees has the candle mug, which I personally think is a terrific way to show your corporate brand to many. Lots of companies give out mugs, but give candle mugs to attendees at the next tradeshow you’re demonstrating at or hand these out each time you visit a customer. It’s a giveaway that’s a little bit different but still familiar. You’re always on display – or rather, your company name will be. Now think about it… don’t you want to make sure your clients and potential customers light your fire often? A candle mug is the way to do that. Your brand all lit up.

Time to Towel Off

Business people like to golf. It’s a known fact. Why business people feel the need to swing clubs together is another story. Why don’t they play touch football? Or go ice skating at a local rink en masse? Why not fly kites on the beach? Well, whatever the reason, we might never truly know. But golf is a good pastime to chat up business, spend time getting to know other people, and keeping your cool under (a little) pressure. In an earlier blog post, I talked about how golf foursomes are a good way to promote your business, and now that the spring has moved in, the weather is perfect to talk shop on the green. Don’t lose your cool either. Gimmees has a great golf towel for you and your fellow players to use. Wipe your brow with this one! I think this is an ideal giveaway for any industry – travel, entertainment, IT, insurance, automotive, and various others – because so many people love to golf and enjoy spending time on the course. Plus, it’s perfect for nearly any demographic and can be given to customers, potential clients, and partners. You know you want these towels for your golfing enthusiasts!

Walking Billboards for Your Business

I have a terrific marketing item idea for you and when I tell you what it is, you’re probably going to chuckle. But wait, before I mention this product, think about this. Your company’s name on thousands of billboards at one time. Thousands wearing your name. Thousands more seeing your name. Everywhere you turn your head, you see that name. Men. Women. Children. People of all ages can spot your company’s name. It sticks with them even when they aren’t seeing it. Now, let me give you another piece of information to think about. This is not a pricey ad specialty that is going to run you into the poorhouse. So, let’s get this straight – a great product that gets my name across to the masses, yet doesn’t cost me an arm and leg? Yes, please! Where do I order? You can place your order at Gimmees.com and you’ll order the rally disposable poncho. Are you laughing? Don’t. This poncho is inexpensive and effective. Imagine thousands of excited fans wearing this product emblazoned with your name. Walking advertisements for YOU. Dry clothing for them. Now, don’t you think you need to place your order?

Who's Got Ice Cream?

Although it’s not summertime yet, I like to think ahead. So, I’m taking this opportunity to think ahead for your business and potential new customers. You always have to think of your future business opportunities, even when you’re busy with today’s workload. But if you don’t plan ahead, you won’t have any future business. Take the ice cream scoop-it. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful giveaway at your summertime events? You could include it in goodie bags at a tradeshow, use it to dish up frozen delight at your corporate barbecue in August, and give these out at your next business meeting or tradeshow. Sure, this scoop is great for those in the food service industry or someone who owns an ice cream parlor, obviously. But what if you aren’t in food service? What if you offer software services, sell insurance, provide office supplies? What’s to say that you can’t give an ice cream scoop out as a freebie to your customers and leads? Pair this up with another item and it becomes a whimsical yet unforgettable promotional gift. It’s fun and perfect for the heat-filled months of summer. And one thing is certain – no one will ever forget the rep who handed him a corporate-emblazoned ice cream scoop.
