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 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.

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.
