Everyone Loves Promotional Coffee Mugs

Everyone has a favorite mug, and much of the time those favorites are promotional coffee mugs we've received one way or another – as gifts or giveaways, usually, but sometimes they just randomly appear in our cupboards (at least, they do in mine). There are a number of factors that typically determine someone's favorite mug:

• Capacity: Do you drink a lot of coffee? To save trips back and forth to the coffee pot, you're likely to prefer a larger mug. Or if you're a slow sipper, your preference may lie on the smaller end of the mug spectrum – drinking slowly out of a large cup means you're more likely to end up with half a mug of lukewarm coffee after awhile.
• Design: Some like them tall, some like them short, some like them round, and some like them rectangular. Promotional coffee mugs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes – and to each his own.
• Surface/material: Glossy or matte? Plastic or ceramic? The feeling of your favorite mug against your lips is a beautiful thing, and the surface and material are what make it that way.
  

Take these factors into consideration when choosing which promotional coffee mugs to imprint with your custom logo or message – but make sure you don't keep them all to yourself.

Ignite the Olfactory Scent with Promotional Products

We all know that people form associations with certain smells and those smells can trigger people's memories – so advertisers are trying to take advantage of that connection by using promotional products that appeal to the sense of smell, and hoping recipients form a positive affinity with their brand.

The Promotional Product International blog just posted an article last week by Maya Case that cites a study about pairing products with smells and their effects on memory. She writes that the research, “was lead by Aradhna Krishna, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan, and published in the Journal of Consumer Research. The study used about 150 university students, and these students were asked to analyze both a set of pencils with a scent and a set without a scent. The researchers found that the students could remember specific points about the pencils with the scent, but could remember only very little, if anything, about the pencils that had no smell. The theory behind Krishna's research at the University of Michigan is that the scent triggered an enhanced memory for the pencils, which was displayed during a test of the participants' long-term memories. In fact, the researchers state that the scent of a product can affect a person's recall of that product even two weeks later.”

With this in mind, consider the Scent-Sational Grip pens for your next promotional products purchase. With a choice of enticing ink aromas like fresh n clean, latte, vanilla, spiced cider, mint, coconut lime and cherry recipients will be sure to form positive associations with your brand.

Promotional Products for Chinese Food Restaurants

Last weekend, I ordered take-out Chinese food and noticed that the restaurant had missed several opportunities to incorporate promotional products into my ordering experience. For example, the plastic bag used to transport my food was a generic bag, as were the paper bags containing rice noodles for my soup. The restaurant could have reinforced their professionalism to a potential repeat customer by branding their packaging. These small details can also be valuable tools to bring in new business, as I may have been dining with a friend who happened to notice the name and logo imprinted on the promotional products.

Create Demand with Limited Edition Promotional Products

An easy way to generate buzz and heighten perceived value of your promotional products is to limit the quantity of the items released. For example, Evian water releases a limited edition collector set of water bottles each year and this year’s collection was designed by Issey Miyake. Whether you sell your branded items or give them away, your target audience will clamor to obtain the collectible pieces, thereby publicizing the exclusivity of your organization. To guarantee immense foot traffic to your tradeshow booth, send out a pre-show mailing touting promotional products giveaways for the first hundred visitors to your booth.

Promotional Products to Support National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September happens to be National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and there are promotional products that your organization can utilize to educate constituents of your brand about this life-threatening disease. Along with handing out traditional marketing collateral, consider distributing silicone wristbands or lapel pins encouraging recipients to donate time and/or money to organizations dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, assisting families of children with cancer with medical bills, or making young cancer patients’ dreams come true. Advocating for a cause that you feel strongly about through relevant promotional products shows clients and employees how committed you are to helping others.

Promotional Products to Recognize Teddy Bear Day

Have you ever considered giving away teddy bears or stuffed animals as promotional products to disseminate your brand’s marketing message? Today is Teddy Bear Day, an awareness day celebrating the global toy that was named because of an incident involving President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1902, President Roosevelt went hunting in Mississippi and refused to shoot a small bear. The Washington Post made a cartoon of the story, and toy store owners asked permission from Roosevelt to name their stuffed animals “teddy bears” in his honor. Stuffed animals donning apparel imprinted with your brand name can be highly effective promotional products!

Celebrate Uncle Sam’s Birthday with Patriotic Promotional Products

Uncle Sam, the national personification of America often seen on patriotic promotional products, is based on an actual man, Samuel Wilson, who was born in September 1766 in Troy, New York. He was a meat-packer during the War of 1812, and the troops that received the barrels packed with beef stamped “U.S.,” as they were the official property of the United States government, often joked that “Uncle Sam” had sent the rations. National holidays such as Independence Day and Labor Day are prime occasions for brands to distribute patriotic promotional products like buttons featuring the iconic image of Uncle Sam.

Promotional Products for Futuristic Frozen Yogurt Stores

With the recent influx of frozen yogurt stores popping up nationwide, TCBY, which has been a major force in the industry for years, is updating some of its stores with hip, fresh promotional products. The goal of the revamp is to appeal to younger audiences, who are drawn to retail stores with modern, streamlined aesthetics. TCBY is experimenting with new service models, as well, as the chain’s new prototype store in Salt Lake City features self-serve yogurt machines. Funky promotional products like branded chairs, tables and wall decals definitely help create a futuristic vibe within this initial prototype store.

Back to School Cool Promotional Products

With students around the country kicking off their fall semesters, there are a plethora of collegiate promotional products available in official campus bookstores to help students display their school spirit. From athletic shorts to underwear, paraphernalia featuring college mascots spans all sorts of product categories to enhance various aspects of purchasers’ lives. Long after students graduate from their respective alma maters, they will be able to reflect on their college years by glancing at keepsakes like bumper stickers and jewelry, and they can easily recognize other alumna from their university by identifying those individuals’ promotional products.

Promotional Products for Dive-In Movies

Tonight, my apartment complex is hosting a “Dive-in Movie,” complete with promotional products like popcorn, candy and fold-up chairs. All residents have been invited to watch a full-length movie on a giant, inflatable movie screen, so it is an ideal opportunity for representatives from our building’s leasing office to hand out branded giveaways to encourage referrals and generate positive publicity. Attendees can sip their complimentary beverages from acrylic cups custom imprinted with the name and contact information of the complex, and other promotional products like balloons and signage can create a “party” atmosphere for guests to enjoy by the pool.

Promotional Products that Make a Difference

Why are promotional products such a great way to promote your brand? Because they are often functional items that recipients find highly valuable. As a result, they will hold onto these items for a long time. Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. and Chevrolet set a perfect example of the beneficial use of promotional products this week when they teamed up to donate Chevrolet vehicles, organic baby food, promotional Winn-Dixie baby apparel and other imprinted items to expectant military moms from Northeast Florida. My guess is that these moms-to-be will be incredibly grateful and may even become lifelong patrons of the Winn-Dixie chain.

Promotional Products for Bridal Boutiques

Shopping for wedding dresses has become somewhat of a sport for brides-to-be around the world, and bridal boutiques would be wise to integrate promotional products into their marketing mixes. Many brides refuse to shop for their dress without an entourage to help them make the decision of which dress to purchase, and friends, family and wedding planners may be present to lend their support. Giving soon-to-be brides and their guests items like keychains or pens may help raise awareness about the boutique in the local community, as promotional products are capable of garnering lots of impressions at a minimal cost.

Promotional Products for Pen Pals

A friend of mine from college recently mentioned that she keeps in touch with another college friend via snail mail, and I recommended that she use original promotional products to enhance her written correspondences. From personalized stamps and return address labels to envelopes and stationery, there are many unique elements of a letter that can represent the author’s personality and interests. For example, Anna may want to order custom address labels featuring an original sketch or even a photo. Promotional products are not only valuable marketing vehicles, but they can also help individuals brand themselves through one-of-a-kind messages and graphics.

Promotional Products that Glow in the Night

Last weekend, I attended a free summer music festival at a local park and observed masses of people amusing themselves with one of the coolest promotional products ever. A light up cup, which relies on insertion of a promotional glow stick into its base, was available at one of the venues’ alcoholic beverage booths for an extra charge. Festival attendees couldn’t get enough of these entertaining drinkware pieces, despite their inevitably short lifespans. With a glow time of just a few short hours, these promotional products revert back to ordinary cups once their temporary light sources have run their course.

Promotional Products for Comedy Fans

If you are attempting to tap into a target market that you know has a good sense of humor, promotional products intended to make people smile and laugh may be a wise choice. Incorporating comedy into the products you use for your campaign and/or your marketing messages shows that your organization has personality and heart. Depending on your focal industry and product or service offerings, humorous marketing efforts can differentiate your brand from the competition by spotlighting your company’s creativity and originality. Promotional products may be useful, inexpensive tools to publicize your company’s playful nature to prospective and current clients.

Promotional Products for Animal Shelters

With the economy still in a slump, many people are being forced to get rid of their pets, and animal shelters can use promotional products to spread the word about rescue options for unwanted pets. Pet homelessness is a growing problem in our society, and people need to be educated about more humane alternatives than abandoning their animals. There are a plethora of safe havens willing to take on the burden of finding pets homes, but the lack of reliable resources may leave unfit pet owners feeling helpless. Promotional products dispersing information about pet adoption agencies should be more popular!

Promotional Products for a Balloon-Powered Flight

A man from Raleigh, North Carolina, Jonathan Trappe, flew across the English Channel Friday in a desk chair secured to large helium balloons- imagine the exposure a corporate sponsor could have achieved by providing Trappe with promotional products like imprinted balloons for his flight? Additionally, because of the specialized design of Trappe’s desk chair, a creative furniture manufacturer could have capitalized on positive publicity from his flight by collaborating with him on its creation. Hopefully innovative brands will realize the potential rewards of helping a daredevil achieve seemingly impossible goals by providing promotional products to further his or her cause!

Promotional Products for the Annual Georgia-Florida Football Match-Up

A proposed contract between the University of Georgia, the University of Florida, and the city of Jacksonville is attempting to brand the annual college football game, thereby allowing both schools and the long-time host city of their traditional rivalry game to secure the rights to branded promotional products, sponsorship deals, and other advertising efforts. The details of the contract are still being ironed out, and it may not even take effect. If the deal does go through, both schools, as well as the city of Jacksonville, stand to profit immensely from the sales of promotional products and college football paraphernalia.

“Go Fly a Kite…” and Related Promotional Products

Breezy spring weather will soon be gone and summer heat will take its place, so you should act now to take advantage of promotional products like kites, which require wind power to function properly. Other items well suited for spring breezes are car flags and windbreakers. Create a spring gift set perfect for picnics by coupling several of these items with imprinted kites to encourage recipients to venture into the outdoors during their leisure time. Your brand’s name and logo will be prominently displayed on the family-oriented promotional products, thereby illustrating your emphasis on work-life balance among your constituents.

Promotional products for grilling and chilling

There is nothing better than grilling and eating outside when the weather is pleasant and warm. There are plenty of promotional products to complement your day out as well. I recently purchased a new grill and have been super excited to use it. The only things missing are the grilling utensils. Surprisingly enough our industry has promotional products of just that. Not only are grilling kits available, but also aprons that even have a beverage holder so the grill master never loses their drink while hard at work cooking up delicious burgers and dogs. So get out there and grill on.

Promotional products for the dog park

This weekend in Atlanta a local radio station is throwing its'5th Annual Woofstock. Promotional products are gonna be all over the place with all the sponsors who will attend. Of course, being in Atlanta at the beginning of Summer, it will surely be hot outside. So to help quench your pup’s thirst a new promotional product has been introduced, a K-9 stainless water bottle made specifically for dogs to drink from. It is a really great innovation that makes it convenient to have cool water for your pet on the go, it is so nice you might mistake it for your own.

promotional products make meetings more productive

Fast Company has some great tips for how to avoid unnecessarily long and boring work meetings.

--Don't go unless you need to be there.
--Take all the chairs out of the room so that people stand instead of sit. It makes everyone more productive.
--If you are required to attend a meeting in which you really are not relevant, bring a notebook so that you can work on something else.

Promotional products make offices run better. Other promotional products that increase productivity:

-clocks, so that you can see how much time you are spending on each task or point in the meeting agenda
--office supplies like pens, staplers, scissors and tape that prevent people from having to conduct a long search every time they need something

What promotional products might make a difference at your company?

Promotional Products for Cool Summer Mornings

Here in Georgia, the weather never ceases to amaze and astound me. It figures that no sooner would I have written about the hottest promotional products of the summer and 90+ degree weather, that a cold front would move in bringing lower than average temperatures. It is times like these when I realize the necessity for promotional sweaters and blankets. While the days are much too warm for a winter coat, having cooler-weather promotional products like sweaters and blankets on hand for those cooler mornings and nights is a must. You would think I would expect a roller coaster ride of temperature changes each and every spring, but I think I just get too excited about the promise of sun, sand and the heat of the summer!

Taking Steps – and Promotional Products - for Crohn’s & Colitis

This coming Saturday (May 17, 2010) I am “Taking Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis” to help build visibility and awareness for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, while raising funds for the fight against these digestive diseases that affect one in every 200 Americans. Donations go to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) and will help support local patient programs, national research for finding cures – and me score CCFA promotional products.

While fundraising efforts should be made out of genuine support for the cause, a little promotional incentives never hurt, especially for non-profit organizations whose financial support comes mainly from donations.

You can show your support (and help me raise funds!) by going to http://online.ccfa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TS_participant_search and typing in Jaime Weinstein.

Promotional Products for Casual Fridays at the Office

Most companies enforce a policy of casual Fridays, but in order to excite and enthuse workers even further, consider holding an internal promotional products campaign revolving around laid-back Friday rituals. Starting today, on the first Friday of Summer months, my company plans to host an outdoor barbecue for employees. In addition to dressing more casually on Fridays, now we can look forward to spending time dining in the sunshine with our coworkers. Giving staff members promotional products like t-shirts and/or flip-flops with a catchy tagline about “Fun Fridays” could publicize our vibrant, cool company culture to the surrounding community.

promotional products for kids

Seeing this post on Cool Hunting today about Gilt and Threadless joining forces to produce a new kids line reminded me that kids love promotional products more than anyone.

I remember going to construction industry trade shows with my step dad as a kid and getting completely stoked about the free carpenter's pencils the booths were giving away. I collected every free promotional product I could get my little hands on. Of course, I was most drawn to the booths with stuff that appealed to kids, like candy. I wonder if my step dad would have visited those booths if it weren't for my tugging.

When you appeal to kids, you appeal to their parents. How can you plan your promotional products with this in mind?

Promotional products at the NBA playoffs

It is NBA playoffs time again and what could go better with that than promotional products. Major advertisers spend big bucks during the playoffs to promote their brands and logos are plastered on everything from the players’ water cups to the towels they wipe their sweat off with. Of course the fans normally take home promotional products as well when they attend the games. Cheerleaders and mascots throw out t-shirts and there are often door prizes for the fans as they enter the arenas. I even have a playoff rally towel for supporting our Atlanta Hawks in the first round.

Promotional Products to Promote Delicious Treats

As the weather heats up in cities across the country, ice cream sales are increasing and companies in the food and beverage industry can distribute promotional products to ensure that they garner their fair share of sales. To me, there is nothing as refreshing as a frozen treat to cool down during the hot summer months; from ice cream to frozen yogurt and even Popsicles or Italian ice, I love it all. So, how do I decide which local shop to patron? Promotional products such as a magnet that I can stick to my refrigerator or even something larger (take note of this stuffed animal imprinted with Rita’s Water Ice logo) keep companies at the top of my mind and help me make important decisions when it comes to frozen treats.

Promotional Products for Arbor Day

Various occasions throughout the year warrant the use of promotional products to advertise a brand and today happens to be one of them – Arbor Day! Arbor Day is celebrated each year on the last Friday of April to encourage tree planting and care. Many companies create promotional campaigns for April 22 for Earth Day, but Arbor Day allows you to extend your promotional marketing efforts through the end of the month. Consider giving eco-friendly promotional products like recycled journals to promote these earth-friendly holidays while promoting your brand. Customers will likely be even more apt to patronize with your business upon seeing you are doing your part to help the environment.

Promotional Products for Los Angeles Tourists

A coworker’s tirade about her experiences shopping for promotional products in Los Angeles is the inspiration behind this post. She mentioned a disappointing visit to an L.A. boutique known for its celebrity owners. She left the store empty-handed because of unreasonable prices and refuses to recommend it to friends planning vacations to Los Angeles. I have been to many cities with expensive shopping attractions, and I can attest to the frustration of overpriced souvenir shops. Alas, I almost always give in to temptation and purchase costly promotional products because I want something tangible by which I can remember my travels.

Promotional Products for a Muddy Day at Atlanta Steeplechase

Last Saturday morning was the annual Atlanta Steeplechase, and despite the stormy and unpleasant weather, a large turnout attended, with promotional products like raincoats and id badges in tow. The philanthropic Atlanta society event plays host to a plethora of local university students, socialites, and humanitarians, all seeking a good time at the massive event. Exclusive tents sponsored by community organizations featured buffet tables, and some sponsoring groups offered guests promotional plastic cups and keychains. Although the weather was gloomy, many horse-racing fans still drove to Kingston Downs to take part in the festivities and collect miscellaneous promotional products.

Promotional Products for Weekend Outdoor Art Festivals

Atlanta’s annual Dogwood Festival took place this past weekend, and there were plenty of promotional products featured at artisan’s booths. In addition to craftsmen passing out custom business cards with their contact information to interested customers, there were lots of food vendors in attendance to satisfy hungry guests’ appetites. From logo imprinted snow cone cups to souvenir frozen beverage glasses, there were a variety of exciting free or purchasable wares for visitors to peruse, and many giveaway items, such as reusable tote bags, will serve as lasting reminders to recipients of the event and the advertiser/brand responsible for distributing the promotional products.

Promotional Products to Ease the Stress Associated with Mergers

When two companies make the decision to merge into one unit, employees are often fearful of their job security, and promotional products can play a valuable role in reassuring the workforce about their stability with your organization. Without revealing too much information, you can showcase to your staff and clients that you will make it through the merger and remain as strong, if not stronger, as before the organizational change. Ramping up marketing efforts through strategic usage of promotional products is a great way to communicate your steadfast commitment to continued excellence during and following a merger.

Promotional Products for Neighborhood Gatherings

My new apartment complex holds regular events to foster a sense of community among residents, and promotional products play an integral part of the effectiveness of these events. From imprinted mints at a Final Four party to refrigerator magnets with emergency phone numbers upon moving in, the leasing office frequently publicizes the community around the building. When I was touring the premises before moving in, I was immediately cognizant of the communitywide support because of these cleverly placed promotional products and I am sure that other prospective residents recognize the presence of branded items as well.

Stay-cation Promotional Products

As many spring breakers take the roads, seas, and sky to travel to far-away destinations, the often overlooked stay-cation appeals to others, and promotional products can enhance any stay-cation experience. From imprinted toys to sports balls, many items can serve as valuable sources of fun and laughter for employees, clients, and their families. Staying home during a vacation is no longer viewed as boring, as the recession has forced millions to cut costs. Marketing your brand through promotional products designed to encourage stay-cations impacts the lives of your constituents and their loved ones effectively and meaningfully.

Promotional Products for Cook-Outs and Picnics

It is almost warm enough for barbecues here in the Southeast, and avid grillers and their families can make your brand a guest at their festivities when you distribute promotional products like grill sets and picnic accessories. From picnic blankets with your organization’s marketing message to Frisbees emblazoned with your logo, barbecue must-haves are ideal items to incorporate into direct mail campaigns or in-store promotions. Barbecues guarantee a high number of impressions for any promotional products that play a role in the activities, so check out our Outdoor category for lots of viable options.

Promotional Products for Game Show Contestants

Recently, a friend of mine from college competed on a popular game show in attempts to win a large cash prize, but he walked away with an array of promotional products as additional bonuses for being a participant. I thought that was a nice way for the show’s producers to thank him for traveling across the country to compete, as this ensured that he would not walk away empty-handed at the end of his stint. Fortunate for my friend, he won a lot of money on the show and had money and promotional products at the conclusion of the taping.

Promotional Products Headwear at the Olympics

While tuning in to the Winter Olympics these last few weeks, I have noticed a strange phenomenon- unique hats and promotional products have been abundant in the event stands. Yesterday I spotted a man wearing what looked like a plush moose hat, obviously promoting his favorite team/country. I am sure that there was an imprint somewhere on the hat stating the correlation between the headwear and a team, but the camera was too far to capture the true meaning. Crazy wearable promotional products are one way to make sure your brand gets the attention you deserve.

Host a Design Contest with Promotional Products Like T-Shirts

A popular way to encourage participation from the community is to hold a design contest for t-shirt or other apparel promotional products. Many road races and beautification projects utilize this creative idea to engage participants and their families in the planning of local non-profit events, but t-shirt design contests could be employed for any number of purposes. Kids, especially, enjoy competing to see their artwork on the clothing of event attendees, and the exposure that can be obtained by decorating promotional products
with your brand name, plus a graphic created by a local citizen, is immense.

Promotional Products to Customize Unique Home Offices

Many workplaces now allow employees to telecommute instead of coming into the office daily, and there are many promotional products for those telecommuters to use in their homes that will make them feel like vital parts of their company. For example, an office could give telecommuters personalized mousepads, featuring the name of the company, as well as the individual’s name and title. That way, even though the person may not be physically present in the workplace, the promotional products can remind them of their employer constantly, thereby keeping them motivated to work hard during business hours.

Promotional Products that I Can’t Wait to Order

There are a slew of new promotional products for 2010 that I can’t wait to have in my hot little hands. From talking imprinted pens that feature bobblehead figurines on their tops, to classic ‘90s toys like Slap Watches, there are some innovative new releases that have tweaked old favorites to turn them into promotional products to impress all types of recipients. Of course, tried and true products that will never go out of style are still available, but it can’t hurt to check out the latest additions to the marketplace before reordering last year’s giveaways.

Promotional Products to Create a Luau Ambience in the Middle of Winter

Nothing says “relaxation” like a party, and with Hawaiian luau-themed promotional products, you can throw a get-together that will make guests forget about the chilly Winter weather in their current locales. From tropical leis to coconut-shaped drinkware, go all out to show employees and clients that you know how to have fun and want to build lasting personal relationships with them. Inexpensive table settings, coupled with Hawaiian décor and traditional music in the background, can set the tone for an authentic luau, and attendees can take leis and promotional products
home as reminders of the event.

Promotional Products to Display Menu Information

Today I decided to pick up a sandwich for lunch and was presented with a great example of promotional products in action. This particular eatery distributes custom cups imprinted with the nutrition information of some of their menu options. I know of several other restaurants that have taken similar actions to educate their clientele about their offerings through innovative marketing efforts, such as carryout bags decorated with graphics and text related to special appetizers or limited edition alcoholic beverages. Be cognizant of multi-purpose promotional products related to food and drinks the next time you dine out!

Promotional Products to Make Bathtime More Fun

I don’t care how old you are or how cool you think you are, rubber duckies will always be cute, and there are plenty of promotional products reminiscent of these timeless play toys that even grown-ups can enjoy! Jovial loofah sponges and bath beads in all shapes and sizes will impress and amuse end users when they soak in the tub. Gender neutral items like unscented body washes will even allow men to pamper themselves without smelling like they borrowed their wives’ perfumed soaps. With promotional products that advocate cleanliness and luxury, clients will definitely remember your brand’s name!

Promotional Products at Garage Sales

While promotional products may remain in the hands of your organization’s desired recipients for long periods of time, it is likely that the items will make their way into the lives of other people than you had intended. Hopefully the original owners do not throw away the products, but rather pass them along to other parties that may enjoy their benefits. Whether the users sell the products at garage sales or donate them to charitable causes, the messages printed on promotional products may be visible in the public eye long after they leave your main headquarters.

Promotional Products for Restless Sleepers

All of us, at some time or another, have been plagued with issues related to sleep, so promotional products to improve the quality of sleep for end users would greatly benefit recipients. One cannot concentrate on professional and personal development when sleep deprivation causes exhaustion and distraction. Some items that can assist users with falling asleep include comfortable, luxurious custom blankets or soothing sound simulators. Airplane rides are especially tough to fall asleep on, so travel pillows and accessories may come in handy. Promotional products to enable a good night’s sleep can be appreciated by all!

Promotional Products for Keychain Collectors

Some people make it a point to collect keychains from various tourist attractions and events, so it may be wise to consider offering these promotional products as giveaways at your next gathering. When people travel long distances to attend an important meeting, it is common courtesy to give them a welcome basket to express gratitude. By including inexpensive souvenirs like keychains, collectors will avoid the annoyance of shopping at overpriced hotel gift shops. If they do not want to keep the promotional products, they could always share them with family or friends upon their return home.

Promotional Products to Honor Women in Healthcare Professions

Promotional products are a wonderful way to recognize milestones in history. On January 23, 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to earn a medical degree in America, and her great achievement paved the way for other American women to prosper in the medical field. Just think: if Blackwell hadn’t accomplished her dream, who knows how many years might have passed before women entered that line of work! Thank the female medical professionals in your life the next time you see them, or deliver thoughtful promotional products on behalf of your company to express your gratitude.

Promotional Products for Weary Apartment Hunters

Shopping for apartments is tedious, overwhelming, and often frustrating, but one of the main perks is receiving an abundance of promotional products from leasing specialists. Candy, personalized bottled water, and keychains are a few of the items I have collected recently while touring potential homes. It is tough to differentiate between the rental units, but my sister and I discuss our options by referencing the goodies we have walked away with from each visit. It is humorous to us, but it also means that the realtors have done their jobs by leaving us with promotional products to remember them by.
