Saving Your Skin with a Marketing Item

While the summer sun feels good and brightens the mood as soon as we step foot outdoors, we all have been warned repeatedly about the dangers of sun exposure. Blistering sunburns can result in skin cancer years later. Don't let your clients face the damaging sun's rays without protection. This 1 oz. SPF30 sunscreen does the trick in a small bottle that is convenient to carry. Doctors, hand this little bottle out to all patients at sick visits and checkups. Grocery stores, law firms, healthcare companies, insurance companies, and event planners can all use this as a thoughtful giveaway. Why not promote the benefits of protecting oneself from the sun while also marketing your business? Everyone can use this item and it's a definite keeper. Call Gimmees today to get set up with this marketing item that can be a great giveaway at any time of the year -- it's not just for the scorching days of summer, but also for any day of the year. Sun damage can occur in any month, even in cloudy weather. So protect your best customers while putting your name out there. 

A Spoon for One and All

I've got a great promo item today for any company, person, or organization affiliated with the food industry. Calling all restaurants, grocery stores, specialty food item manufacturers, farms, and convenience stores. The silicone condiment spoon is a neat little giveaway item that every cook and baker must have. Who wouldn't find this to be a godsend when trying to get that last bit of frosting, applesauce, ketchup, mayo, butter or mustard out of the jar, can, bottle, or container? I love nifty gadgets for the kitchen because they are so amazingly useful and they never fail to leave me smacking my head thinking, "Why didn't I invent this?" Of course you know someone who could use this spoon in the kitchen. A professional chef or a father who whips up dinner every night could find great uses for this spoon. Wouldn't these be great to give out at your grand opening? In a goodie bag for customers? To be handed out as customers pay for groceries or take-out food? There are so many good reasons to use these spoons and marketing your business with them should be the main one. 

Why Give Away Items? Because It Lures in New Business Opps!

I've often discussed in my blog posts the types of promotional items that are great giveaways for tradeshows and events where you expect a lot of foot traffic stopping at your table. It's always a good business practice to hand each person you greet with a small gift -- a pen, a mug, a refrigerator magnet, a pocket-sized calendar. But I always love when a tradeshow vendor lures potential clients to its table by having a raffle or drawing. All those potentials need to do is drop one of their business cards into a jar or bucket for a chance to win a prize. Okay, so it sounds like a great idea. Now, what is your prize? How about a football snack helmet? Everyone loves snacks and parties. Wouldn't this be a great giveaway item? Imagine all of the people that will be seeing it over the years at Super Bowl parties, get togethers, December holiday gatherings, and movie nights. Your winner will love it. Your message will be displayed on the helmet for years to come. And now you have a big jar filled with potential customers in the form of a bunch of business cards. Yes, this is a great idea for your next tradeshow!

How Sweet You Are

When preparing for tradeshows and conferences, the last thing anyone needs is to have to pack up and lug large boxes of goods to your destination. Sure, those boxes are delivered to your table, but it's still inconvenient to pack, unpack and repack. Simple items that can easily be transported are your best bet. The candy saver roll is a sweet treat that is small enough to be handed out to each person you meet, yet big enough to make a nice impression of you and your business. Who doesn't love a little something sweet? While these packets are adorably small to fit into the pocket, they also have a nice sized spot for you to put your company's name. Spread these across your tradeshow table or put them in a large glass jar so that passersby can choose one or two as they approach your table. Another option is to have those who visit your table guess the number of candy rolls in the jar and the person with the closest guess wins a prize. It just makes the tradeshow experience a bit more exciting and fun. Not to mention it helps makes your company memorable. That's pretty sweet!
