Tag... You're It!

Dog tags are quite popular nowadays. It used to be that only those affiliated with the military wore these tags on a chain around their necks. But I've spotted everyone wearing them including youngsters at the mall. Not only are these dog tags eye-catching but they are also fun and make for an interesting conversation piece. Why not use these as giveaways at your next corporate event? Wouldn't they be great for any industry? Company picnics, alumni basketball games, new hire packets, and new patients are just a few examples of how you can use these to promote your business. Got a new message you want to push? This is the way to do it! Get your name and your marketing message out there easily.  I say, try something different. If you've always handed out pens or baseball caps to your potential customers, go with something different in the new year. Try dog tags!

Stay in Shape while Staying Sane with this Item

Drive by any gym or fitness center in early January and chances are, the parking lot will be mobbed with cars as people try their darnedest to get back in shape after too much egg nogging and decking the halls the month before. Too much champagne and wine, way overindulged in cookies and pie, and a horde of rich casseroles and buffet tables in late December can leave most feeling sick, bloated, and a few pounds heavier. We've all been there and here's your chance to take advantage of the overeating and the extra pounds. The scale stress reliever is a delightful way to start off the New Year on the right foot with a sense of humor and a few laughs. It's a fun promotional item that is meaningful (raw carrots really aren't as thrilling as a slab of devil's food cake) and helpful (that 5:00 AM spin class is brutal). Isn't it better to squeeze the bejesus out of this promo item instead of wrapping your fingers around the meathead doing squats next to you? Have some fun, show how promoting good health can still be humorous, and give this to your customers.  

A Message We Can Wear

Sporting a bandana isn't just a fashion statement. It's also a promotional tool. Yes, that's right. It's out there pushing your brand while you don't have to do a thing. How do I know this? Whenever I pick up my dog from the groomer, she is sporting a cute and colorful bandana that complements the month we're in (i.e. flags for July, apples in September).  It's a nice touch to see when my pooch is presented to me. But what I noticed on that cute bandana is the grooming business's name and phone number. Nice! See how something that makes Fifi or Fido look festive is actually getting its name out there? That's smart marketing. But the bandana isn't just for animal-friendly businesses. They are ideal for giveaways at tradeshows, parties and celebrations, games and sporting events, and in goodie bags. Add your business name to the colorful bandana and you got a bright message.
