Ghouls, Goblins, Things that Go Bump in the Night and Your Company Name

I believe that if you’re a business owner, you need to always look at your calendar at least 60 days ahead of time and see what events and holidays are on the horizon. That way, you can use these special days to further market your business. Although Halloween is not 60 days out, you can still use October 31 and the couple of weeks preceding it to promote your company and provide a giveaway item to potential customers, leads and those individuals who already do business with you. I like the Yellow Die Cut Haunted House Trick or Treat Bag because it’s brightly colored (to provide maximum coverage of your corporate name) and it’s an item that will be used by kids everywhere when they go trick or treating or to parties. Although the ghoul and witch season is fast approaching, you still have time to customize this item so that you can distribute it to the masses. Call Gimmees and we’ll do the rest for you.

Ears Stay Warm, Message Gets Noticed

With cooler nights upon us – wait, wasn’t it just summer? – the windows are open, the lightweight jackets are coming out from behind the t-shirts and tanks in the closet, and yellow school buses are back on the road. The knit beanie with stripe is also coming out from hibernation. I’ve seen runners wearing them as they take off for a long distance job, and my son’s soccer team is pulling them out of their backpacks to keep their ears toasty during their warm-ups before Sunday morning games. These beanies are perfect for young and old alike, especially if you’re in the apparel business or involved with sports in any realm. I personally think this would be an excellent giveaway for a hockey organization – professional or youth-oriented – or at the next 5K race or fun walk. This beanie comes in a rainbow of seven different color combinations to choose from so that you can easily make selections based upon your corporate theme or event. Don’t forget, these are fully customizable so your corporate logo, tag line, or company name is prominently displayed.

Don't Swat Away Your Business Opportunities

With the exception of a cute ladybug or the intriguing butterfly, I’m not a fan of bugs or other leggy critters. I’ve been known to scream at some buzzing object near my ear and last night freaked out while sitting on my deck when a very scary, but completely harmless dried leaf fell into my lap. If the 16 inch giant flyswatter had been nearby, I’d have taken aim and smashed the what-I-thought-was-a-bug. Obviously, this promotional item is ideal for companies in the pest control industry, but it’s also something for real estate agents or any other organization that makes has home owners as part of their customer base. This flyswatter is big, so your message or logo gets prominently displayed. Another great thing is that the flyswatter is decently priced to meet even a small budget. You get a nice product that can truly market your business.

A Simple Marketing Tool for Your Business

Ask a group of people what comes to mind when you say the words “promotional products” and you’ll probably get an array of answers like “golf shirts,” “pens,” and “coffee mugs.” These three things are among the most widely recognized when it comes to promo items and giveaways. In fact, let’s take a look at pens. You probably have quite a few of these lying around the house or your office from your bank, travel agencies, and healthcare providers. See? You’re using these products and that’s exactly what the person who gave one to you wants you to do! You’re marketing that individual’s business every time you pick up that pen and sign your name to a check, write down a shopping list, or ink your initials on your child’s homework. Your eye is drawn to that pen even if you aren’t thinking about booking a trip to Spain or needing any financial advice. When you do need a vacation or have to open a Roth IRA, that pen reminds you of the person or business providing that service. Now, do the same thing for your business. Market it with the Atlantis pen, a sophisticated gift that is comfortable to use and looks like a class act.

A Pill that Isn't Hard to Swallow

Gotta take a pill? We all have to take medication at some time in our lives. Some of us have to do it regularly. When traveling, this can be a hassle because lugging along bottles of pills takes up precious space and effort. The 7-day pill box solves this problem by keeping each of your meds in one spot. I even have used this pill box to keep my vitamins safely under wraps when I’ve headed off on vacation. Another nice point to this giveaway is that you can pair it with something else like lip balm, sunscreen, or even a sun visor or sunglasses in a bag for your patients or customers. Pharmacists can even provide this 7-day pill box to customers when they fill their prescriptions. The pill box is terrific item for doctors, healthcare clinics, pharmacies, drug manufacturers, health insurers, senior citizen facilities, and hospitals. Oh, and it’s an inexpensive item, too so you will get a lot of benefits without paying a high cost.
