Enhance Business Opportunities with a Divot Fixer?

It’s the beginning of March and if you live in a place where there has been much precipitation (think snow!) this winter or if it’s just been cold and dreary, you are probably dreaming of springtime, rich green grass, and golf carts. Golf carts, you say? Yes, golf carts. Now don’t get any ideas that I play golf or even enjoy golf. But the truth is, I do like to drive by courses and see people swinging their clubs and playing on the green. Seeing golfers excited and driving those little carts around means that spring has arrived and nicer weather is here to stay. Golf is also an amazing way for you to build business opportunities with potential clients and long time customers for a number of reasons. One, it doesn’t matter your level of skill – you might be a mediocre golfer but that’s okay. You can still play with other golfers. Second, although a game may take four hours to complete, you’re not swinging your clubs that entire period. There are plenty of opportunities for you to talk business. Next, a golf game can consist of people of all ages. Oh, and while you’re on the course, give the others in your party a divot fixer. It’s an inexpensive yet completely appropriate promo item.

Drinking It All In

While I was at the gym this morning, I looked around at the other people who were taking advantage of fitness classes, treadmills, weight equipment, and elliptical machines. I noticed something that I know you’d see in every single gym across the country: water bottles. But what dawned on me is that this is a product that everyone needs to have. Who couldn’t use an 18 Oz. Metallic Poly-Saver Mate Bottle that is BPA Free? Doctors tell us to drink more liquids all the time yet most of us are on the go constantly – to work, to our kids’ activities, to the gym, to shop for groceries. Many of us don’t like the idea of using a water bottle that gets tossed into a trashcan – too much of our bottles end up in landfills and further clutter Mother Earth. So, why not put your company’s name on a sports bottle for your customers? This product is something that everyone will want to use because it can be filled up with a beverage of choice and it is reusable. It’s perfect for those on the go, people at the office, or those who just want to monitor their water intake. Plus, this bottle is priced to fit into your budget.

Just Scraping By

It’s February and for most of us – except the chosen few in Florida and other sun-kissed locales – the weather is cold and icy car windows are as common as high heating bills and the need for warm coats. So, not only do you need to go outside in bitter temperatures in the early morning hours to head off to work, but now you have to scrape your car windows AND you forgot your gloves. You find yourself shivering and scraping while you hope that the car warms up quickly. Oh wait. You’ve got your ice scraper hand mitten. Remember when that sales rep at the tradeshow gave it to you in October? Well, you were smart enough to put it in your glove compartment that same night which is where it has been waiting since that meeting. And now, your hand is warm and protected while it’s peeling away layers of ice from your windshield. You glance at the corporate logo on the mitten part. Ah, you have that great company to thank for this gift of warm hands. Now, think about this scenario as you plan to place your order – see how nicely this product comes into play? Isn’t this a great idea for your company? It sure is.

What the World Needs Now Is Warmth, Sweet Warmth

Feeling the chill of winter? Wishing you could just curl up in bed or on the couch in your pajamas until springtime arrives? Believe me, I understand because I think I’d have made a great bear. Hibernating is my idea of passing wintertime. But occasionally, we’ve got to go out and meet people – clients, partners, and the like – so here’s my idea of the perfect thing to hand over with your business card: hand warmers. They keep your hands toasty and snug even on the coldest of days. And whether recipients are at an ice rink, catching their favorite football team in the stadium, waiting on a frigid platform for their train, or crossing city streets to get to the opera house, their hands will be cozy and warm. This simple item is small enough for you to carry around to give to clients and customers – heck, they are small enough to fit in your pocket! Plus, they are safe, effective, and natural. Oh, and did I mention they are reasonably priced, too? So many advantages, so little money needed to place an order. So get to it! Stay warm, my friends, stay warm.

A House for Cards (as in Business Cards)

Technology has given us the chance to never miss a phone call, to check email on our commute to work, and to Google information about a new customer before we even get the opportunity to meet and shake hands in person. It’s a tech, tech world out there. Yet, in spite of all the technology, the vibrating smartphones and the tablet computers, we still do something that might seem a bit archaic – we exchange business cards with associates, clients, partners, and customers. So, where should we store those business cards that we’ve collected in our travels and meetings? The hi-tech business card caddy is your answer. This caddy holds up to 72 cards so that you can simply grab it and go. It fits neatly into a purse or bag, ensuring that all of your contact information is stored for safe keeping. Want another reason why this business card caddy is so terrific? It’s one of Gimmees’ inexpensive promotional items, which means you can give these away at your next tradeshow or meeting with customers and still keep money in your pocket. I love a great product that is reasonably priced and can be used by many people. This is one of them.

Just Bag It Already

Are you like me? Is it difficult for you to leave the house without a ton of things in hand? I usually have a bag of some sort with me to carry my coupons (for grocery shopping), my water bottle (for the gym), drink boxes and snacks (to keep two youngsters quiet in the car), important papers and checks (for a trip to the bank), and well, you get the idea. What I’m pointing out here is that we all have to multi-task and so heading out to the car to go to work can result in a few stops along the way or a couple of errands run at lunchtime. Instead of grabbing your items haphazardly, stuff everything into a non-woven trinity tote bag. So, wouldn’t this be a terrific promotional item for your customers? Can’t you see this lovely bag emblazoned with your logo on it? It’s a perfect product for everyone. And in fitting with our you-don’t-need-to-spend-a-fortune-to-market-your-business theme, this tote bag is priced accordingly. I highly recommend that you check it out along with the other promotional items that Gimmees.com offers. We’ve got everything you need right here.

Less Trash, More Marketing



We all spend way too much time in our cars these days. From hitting the drive-thru and heading out to the mall or the grocery store to dropping the kids off at karate and soccer practice to spending long hours commuting to our jobs. It’s time in our vehicles that we wish could be spent elsewhere like on the couch or in bed or at a ballgame. All of that time behind the wheel (or in the backseat watching a DVD) results in discarded tissues, wrappings from burgers, drink boxes, empty Styrofoam coffee cups, used napkins, and… well, you get the idea. Today’s item, the Case Logic litter chute, is for that multi-tasking person on the go who is driving all over the place. It’s a perfect accessory for any automotive, trash recycling, or long distance hauler organization to use to market its business. It’s also ideal for the outside sales representative, who always has trash on the front seat. And in keeping with our ongoing theme, this product is easy on your pocket yet full of impact. So, get busy and email us here at Gimmees and we’ll get your order processed today!
