Open Up More Business Opportunities

Along with the theme that kitchen-friendly products are a positive way to get your corporate name out to the masses to draw in more business to your company I have to point out the importance of imprinted jar openers. People often think that they need to spend a bundle of money to come up with an expensive promo item to hand out to potential customers and clients. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sure, you can purchase beautiful golf jackets or executive clocks brilliantly gleaming with brass, but something simple that is, in fact, greatly usable by a vast number of people is the best way to target various audiences. A jar opener is easy to distribute (i.e. it fits in any purse or briefcase, can be packaged into gift bags or envelopes with holiday greetings, or placed on a tradeshow table for pickup by people walking by) and it offers your corporate name across the front in a spot that will never be missed by anyone. I have had one of these jar openers for years and I use it daily. That’s right, daily. The message on the opener has never been missed by me, my husband, or anyone else who has used this product in my kitchen. And that’s why when we had a leaking pipe, we remembered which plumber to call – the one who’s name is on our jar opener.

It's Snack Time... Nom Nom Nom...

Who doesn’t love to snack? We all need a quick pick-me-up in the late afternoon to help us survive until dinner, and a Friday night would not be complete without something yummy to nosh on. What does snack munching have to do with your business? A snack and dip container is a promotional product that you can use for marketing purposes. How? You simply have this container tailored with your corporate name or event on the lid and you’re ready for success. The snack & dip container can be handed out at tradeshows, supermarket demonstrations, medical facilities (physicians/nutritionists/healthcare clinics/drugstores, flu shot clinics), senior citizen locales (centers, retirement communities), and in schools. These containers will show up in all different places, too – in cafeterias, board rooms, office desks, bingo games, kids’ soccer tournaments – since this holds one item in the bottom and a dip section in the top for tasty veggies with ranch dressing or pretzels with honey mustard or whatever combo of snack items the recipient prefers. And no matter where this handy container goes, you know it will be showing off your name, getting the recognition your brand truly deserves.

Employees Say Skip the Gala, Gimme the Goodies

A recent study has found that more American workers (78% in fact) would rather receive a gift from their employer than have a holiday office party. Well, isn’t that interesting? Instead of a free prime rib dinner and a few cocktails combined with a DJ and dancing, the typical American employee would prefer a tote bag, golf shirt, gift basket, or pullover sweater. The intriguing thing here is that while the office party lasts only for one evening, the corporate gift will be utilized many times and will be seen by countless individuals. In addition, I’m willing to bet the farm that a thoughtful gift to each employee will cost less than that holiday party – just sayin’. The Sport-Tek Nylon Jacket with Stripe Trim is an excellent choice for both men and women of all ages and can be utilized in just about any season and for any outdoor event. This jacket is available in a variety of colors and many different sizes to ensure a perfect gift for your staff. While this item might not be your speed, the suggestion that employees feel more appreciated by receiving a gift surely makes you think. Gimmees has a wide selection of corporate gifts that will make your employees smile from ear to ear while showing  your thanks for a year’s worth of work well done.

Dress to Impress and Bring Recognition to Your Brand

It’s important that at any corporate function, your staff and employees be outfitted in gear that not only reflects professionalism but also carefully markets your business. Whether it’s a December holiday luncheon strictly for employees or a tradeshow with thousands of attendees from all over, the proper attire not only ensures a balanced image, but also showcases the significance and professionalism of your brand. Employees dressed in company-approved apparel like the Sport-Tek dry zone colorblock raglan sport shirt look professional but aren’t overdressed, comfortable, but not sloppy. And no matter where they are – visiting prospective clients on a sales call, touring the warehouse, eating lunch in a local restaurant, or walking the rows at the convention center for a tradeshow – you’ll know your brand is represented and being marketed to the masses. These shirts can be a uniform of sorts, the standard attire for all of your employees. Give them out as corporate gifts or for sales contests, but your best bet is to ensure that every one of your employees has one. Encourage them to wear these shirts. It’s free marketing for your business in a style that always looks timeless.
