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.

Door Hangers Are a Great Marketing Tool

Let's get the new year started off the right way with new business opportunities, new revenue streams, and introductions to new faces who may become long term, well-paying, and devoted customers.

These door hangers work for a variety of business types and don't cost much. It's just one way to get your product out there in front of buyers.

Go Play with Your Friends (and Business Associates)

The winter solstice has arrived and so the coldest, darkest season is upon us. It makes many want to crawl onto a warm couch and hibernate. However, just because the calendar says it is wintertime, we all know that there will be seasonally warm, sunny days before April. And when those glimmers of warmth and sunshine emerge, you'll find people dreaming of the links. Bringing hope in the new year is the joy and anticipation of a good golf game. Whether with a few close pals or with the intention to conduct some business, golf encourages camaraderie, entertainment, showmanship, and patience. Give your golf lovers a package of Titleist NXT Golf Balls. Nothing says golf like Titleist and nothing says "let's enjoy a day in the sun" than a game of golf. Have some laughs, seal the deal, cultivate new partnerships, renew old friendships, and make a day full of good memories on the back nine. And do so with one of the greatest golf brands on the market. Now you have a reason to enjoy a golf game on a mild winter day.

Sipping into the New Year

It's not too late to give your customers, clients, and employees a token gift to remind them of how grateful you are for their business/service/dedication/hard work throughout the past year. Even if you cannot give a gift by Christmas, a thoughtful present delivered by the New Year is always thoughtful and welcomed. How about the Blue Ceramic Mug with Snowflake Design? It's a lovely coffee mug that can be used throughout the wintertime months and each use will remind its recipient how much you appreciate him or her. Don't want it to say Season's Greetings? No problem! Gimmees will gladly customize it with a saying that is pertinent to your business or a company logo. I have found that sometimes the best -- and most memorable -- gifts are the ones that are received in January, when the timing is a bit less hectic and my schedule is much more convenient. And what better way is there to kick off a brand new year than with a present that says thank you for your past business and here's to another successful 12 months?
