Glassware for Irish Folks and Others

"There are only two kinds of people in the world, the Irish and those who wish they were." This classic Irish proverb will draw a chuckle and so, with St. Patrick's Day not far away, look to the 16 oz Pilsner glass. This glass can be customized with a logo -- perfect for restaurants and taverns for promotional giveaways. Customers purchase a specific beer (or another specialty beverage) that is on tap for the Irish holiday and the glass is a free gift. These glasses are also ideal as gifts for groomsmen and other partygoers at bachelor parties. Consider this glass as a special remembrance for a wedding, a retirement party, or a 21st surprise birthday. Personally, I like the idea of dining establishments customizing the Pilsner glass and giving it to customers or simply using the tailored barware in their businesses. Why just use a simple clear beverage glass? Every single one of your barware items should have your restaurant's name on it. Why? This subtle marketing message sticks in your customers' minds even when they aren't in your pub. The customized glasses will become something that customers expect each time they pay a visit. And that will make you stick out from the 22 other restaurants/pubs in your town.

A Tee Shirt with a Message

It won't be too much longer before Daylight Savings Time begins, the weather warms up, and more of us will take to the outdoors for exercise and fresh air. As we say goodbye to winter, one thing becomes certain. Charities and organizations, anxious to bring attention and dollars to their coffers, begin holding events like memorial walks and fundraisers. The 5K race/fun walk is a weekend norm in the springtime and many charities use them to raise money. What's one thing these charitable organizations need? Besides money, I mean? It's a great Hanes 50/50 Cotton/Poly T-Shirt - White. These tees are easily customizable so that you can add the event name and date as well as the names for the terrific sponsors who have helped to make the run/walk/festival happen. Tee shirts are one of the most popular and also one of the most enduring of promotional items because they are simple, everyone loves them, and they can be great giveaways for nearly every person of any age. Now imagine your message being worn by the masses -- hundreds, even thousands of people. That's a marketing message that won't be missed.

Open Sesame... or Something of the Sort

We all get mail. Sure, we probably receive more email than we do snail mail, but nonetheless, envelopes containing bills, letters, junk, membership information, and thank you notes will show up in your mailbox, requiring someone to open them up. Don't let your customers and potential business partners get paper cuts! Instead, have your logo imprinted on this letter opener and distribute them in person, at tradeshows, and in promotional bags. These letter openers offer bright colors that really pop -- enabling your logo to stand out. And each time the recipient has an envelope in hand, he or she will reach for this appealing letter opener for easily and quickly cutting through even the toughest paper. Personally, I've had one these letter openers for years and it's still as sharp today as it was when I first received it. That's a true testament to a promotional item that is small, simple, and inexpensive, but still a must-have gift that solves a key problem for the masses. Now, get busy and go order a shipment of these letter openers for your next tradeshow. You'll be glad you did!

One Item, Many Uses

You might suspect that something like the 64 oz sand pail is nothing more than mere child's play but let's be honest here. This promotional item is truly something you can use to jazz up other small giveaways and corporate literature or to form the basis for a goodie basket for your clients. I personally love this pail for tradeshows and events because it looks a lot nicer than a traditional tote or plastic bag for recipients to hold materials, pens, and small items. Having a corporate meeting? Planning your next annual party? Heading out to speak with perspective clients? Tailor this pail for whatever you have going on. Stack them on your table at next month's tradeshow to distribute to interested people as they stop by. Once the tradeshow or corporate meeting is over, the pail has a multitude of uses. Sure, you might spot a child on the beach with one. I like to stick household items (petare products, art supplies for projects, cleaning products for laundry use) and they also work well to hold tissue packs, hand sanitizer, and CDs in the car. So many uses for just one simple item. And don't forget. Your marketing message goes far beyond that show or meeting.

Getting Noticed by Thousands of People at One Time

Recently, my kids attended an NBA game and came home with 24 oz. vista sports bottles, and this got me thinking. The item was given as a promotion by an insurance company (interesting!) at a basketball game. What a wonderful idea! Look at how many people that one simple item touched -- literally thousands. That's right, I said thousands. The item is related to sports -- heck, you need to drink fluids when you're biking, hiking, taking boot camp class, or shooting hoops. But the company distributing the item isn't affiliated or directly related to sports in any way. Yet, this particular organization used a major sporting event to promote itself in front of a hugely diverse clientele of people. This is what your business needs to do. You might think that you can only hit a tailored group, say the demographic where the majority of your income comes from. However, by not being so focused, you can touch on other demographics that you might never have even considered. Sure, my kids aren't interested in an insurance company, but the bottle came home and I might have a need for such services. See, how many pairs of eyes you reach by one small promotional product? It's amazing!

Work It, Baby

Too many cookies. Too much nog. Way too much wine and champagne. Entirely too much partying and socializing. Not enough exercise. Too few vegetables. Not enough glasses of water. In January the bane of the holiday season hits us full force as we once again pull out the scale and try to zip up our jeans. The decorations are packed away and we tend to feel depressed due to the glum, cold weather and the winter that has only just begun. This is the reason why many flock to gyms and fitness centers at the start of the month with the best of intentions only to find that within a few weeks, their desires for good health seem too distant to be effective. Calling all fitness centers, doctors’ offices, senior centers, and nutritionists. Encourage your clients and patients to start out small with the 7" Wooden Handle Jump Rope. Rather than enrolling in six spinning classes a week or turning to crash dieting to lose those holiday pounds, it is best to start out slowly so that better eating and added exercise aren’t overwhelming or too difficult. This jump rope lets recipients start out small and each time they decide to use it, they will think of your company.
