Mister, Could You Spare Some Coolness?

It's getting hot in here. Which is why the personal mister is just such a great item for today's post. And no, this is NOT a personal mister as in the one and only man in your life! It's a little giveaway that is perfect for the looming hot summer months (unless you're in Australia where winter is coming), women who experience hot flashes, kids who are overheated at softball tournaments in July, the elderly living in homes without air conditioning, and for those who simply don't have the luxury of cooling off in a swimming pool. This item has a lot of potential for doctors' offices, heating and air conditioning companies, organizations who provide relief to those without air conditioning, schools, and sports organizations. These misters are not at all expensive and they don't need batteries, yet they are super effective in bringing much needed relief on a hot day. Got a company picnic coming up? An outdoor event in the park? A baseball tournament over the Fourth of July? Here's your next promotional item! And as with all of Gimmees' great marketing products, you can customize this personal mister with your logo, corporate name, Web site address, or whatever you choose.

You Can Nail It!

A recent trip to the doctor's office gave me an idea for this blog post. When leaving my appointment, I spotted a table set up with various takeaway items for patients and included among the products were nail files in sleeves. All of the items on the table were pink to remind women to get regular mammograms for breast cancer. The nail file is now in my purse and I realize that every single time I reach for it, I'll be reminded of the importance of mammograms and I'll recall where I picked it up. Hmmm. This simple nail file becomes a very powerful marketing tool for whatever message you wish to promote -- breast cancer awareness, diabetes, or any health topic, really. But it also is an easy item to hand out at tradeshows and events because it's thin and compact. It also comes in various colors, perfect for tailoring to your message or corporate colors. Oh, and the nail file isn't just for disease prevention. Health and wellness spas, salons, gyms and fitness centers, groceries, pharmacies, and grand opening events all could find great value in this nail file. Imagine the possibilities! They are endless.

A Tote for Anyone, for Anything

There's always a need for a quality tote bag and the 100% Recycled PET Lake Convention Tote fits the bill. Here's a great item for that workshop/convention/tradeshow/event you'll be holding/setting up a booth at/participating in. At the event, the tote, which will be given to visitors, holds various materials as they walk around. Afterwards, the tote's value continues as it will be used by every recipient for different things, marketing your business. Think of the mom at the soccer game bringing drinks for the team, the family at the beach with sunscreen and magazines, the gentleman toting along crossword puzzles, a book, and his iPad while traveling overseas. It sounds like this tote bag really gets around! And if you needed a reason why this is a nice giveaway, here's one more. This bag is made from 100% post-consumer recycled material. Oh, and one more thing. It holds up to 40 pounds. Not a bad gift! This is something you'll feel good about giving and your recipients will feel great about getting. Now, get busy and order this tote. Call Gimmees. It's the best item around!

If It Looks Like a Duck and Sounds Like a Duck...

So many graduations. So little time. It's a time of great achievements, of milestones reached, of proud families, a few tears, and looking forward to whatever the future holds. And it's a time of ducks. Yes, that's right. I said ducks. Think about how many smiled you'll bring with the Graduate Duck. He's cute, festive, and completely demonstrates the appropriate message without saying anything. This adorable duck would be great as a decoration on cakes and tables, but would also be a thoughtful gift for the graduate of anything -- high school, college, nursing school, advanced degree programs, even workshops and conferences. Imagine your new class of 400 sales reps receiving this duck upon their completion of their two-week training? After their 3 month probationary period? It might seem that this item is for kids, but really, it's not. It's for the kid in all of us and it's a kind way to say to people, you did a great job and I'm proud of you. Here's a little something that will never let you forget what you accomplished. Give out this duck and you'll see him pop up on desks and in offices. He might even make his way into your recipient's bathroom at home. And months later, his message will still ring clear.
