Get Some New Fans for Your Company

Educational institutions, whether they are preschools, parochial schools, high schools, or colleges, are always in need of funding. Various monies are used to provide activities, events, field trips, and educational tools for students. Who doesn't believe in helping children of all ages develop a love of learning while also giving them the tools to achieve their best? Money is not only necessary but a critical need for all schools and fundraising events like charity basketball games are among the ways that institutions can gather dollars. A recent event I attended at our local high school pitted current administrators and teachers against a widely known and entertaining basketball team for a fundraiser.  In addition to the ticket prices, the school sold these hand fans to attendees for $1.50 apiece. Not a bad way to get the fans involved! Waving these was fun for adults and kids alike during the game, and I knew that the purchase helped to benefit the school district. Plus, if most kids are anything like mine, they took these fans home and kept them. My son has his on a shelf in his room with his trophies and other memorabilia. Each time I see it, I'm reminded of the fun we had that night and the money raised to help support our local schools.

Have a Ball Marketing Your Business

As a medical expert, physician, fitness center, dietician, or other health-oriented guru or locale, you recognize the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Looking to get your clients, patients, and customers in shape should be simple. Stress to them that there are so many ways to get in and stay in shape without joining a gym or investing in expensive pieces of workout equipment. The exercise gym ball is practically a gym within itself. There are a multitude of exercises that work with this ball and just about any body part can be toned. Additionally, it's made of a very durable vinyl so that it is long-lasting and usable. Oh, and did you notice that this exercise ball is also a marketing tool for you? Gimmees will accommodate your marketing message or corporate logo to ensure that you are always remembered.  And while people may be at first be skeptical of the health benefits that come from using this ball, it really is an effective toning and strength-building tool, takes up very little room, and can help kickstart your recipients' long term weight loss and exercise goals while promoting you every time that it is used.

Don't Forget This Must-Have Tradeshow Item

There's so much to remember when a tradeshow, convention, seminar, or other corporate event is looming. Don't scramble to get it all together at the last minute. Make a checklist of items that you'll need well enough in advance and make sure that you have everything on that list ready to go a week prior to the big event (if that is indeed feasible). It makes your life a heck of lot less stressful. And while you are gathering and grabbing marketing materials, tablecloths, signs and pens, have table tents at the ready. Table tents are colorful and really make your business, products, and/or services stand out. They make your tradeshow table or booth look professional and well designed and they can be easily spotted from a distance. Piles of marketing collateral can't do that for you! Call Gimmees to place your order of table tents for your next corporate event or tradeshow. Don't miss out and wish that you had them. They really do a great job of getting your message out to the masses without taking up much room on your table.

Gaining Prospects One Tooth at a Time

We are well into January and many of our peers (and perhaps us included) are making New Year's resolutions to eat smart and get our bodies healthy. But we all know that the best laid plans can fail. If you are involved in a dental practice, here's the product you need to promote good health for your patients: dental floss. Even cardiologists and obstetricians can get in on this fun giveaway because keeping teeth healthy is good for the heart and important to a growing fetus. And it's a product that is directed towards everyone of any age from youngsters to the elderly. Keeping teeth clean and flossing daily can prevent health issues and gum disease later on in life. This small yet very effective promo product contains 18 yards of waxed dental floss and can be imprinted or have a laminated decal so that your business, practice, or company is clearly identified. Give a marketing product that you know your recipients will not only use but also be grateful to receive.
