Promotional Products for Visiting Executives


When clients or prospective clients take the time out of their busy schedules to visit your organization’s headquarters, it is only polite to provide them with tokens of your gratitude like promotional products. When they check into their hotels, leave a welcome bag with sweet treats, bottled water imprinted with your brand’s logo and contact information, maps of the surrounding area, and a padfolio. The professional courtesy and promotional products that you extend to them will foster continued, positive relations between your company and those individuals, thereby impacting the strength of your business ties as well.

Recognize National Handwriting Analysis Week with Promotional Products


Grab the nearest pen promotional products- its National Handwriting Analysis Week! Ever wonder about experts who can analyze a person’s handwriting and identify personality traits? I do. Also, stereotypes associated with handwriting of certain professionals are boggling- why do financial analysts tend to have small, messy writing styles, while doctors usually have precise lettering? Do people who write that way choose to pursue those fields, or do their writing styles evolve according to their line of work? Either way, pen and paper promotional products can encourage clients and staff to have their writing tested and interpreted.

Promotional Products at the Golden Globes!


Did anybody notice the strong presence of promotional products, particularly umbrellas, at last night’s Golden Globe Awards? I did! The downpour which blanketed Beverly Hills, California yesterday left attendees scrambling for umbrellas to maintain their composure for the prestigious event. Red carpet interviewers made sure to have custom umbrellas with the names of their respective television stations on hand so as to maximize exposure during live coverage. Useful promotional products like umbrellas or rain gear always come through for recipients in a pinch, and these specialized giveaways are likely to publicize your brand in stormy weather!

Promotional Products To Accompany You Into the Wild…


Great American author Jack London was born on this day in 1876, and in honor of his best-known work, “The Call of the Wild,” I would like to recommend several promotional products well-suited for cold-weather adventures. There are plenty of items designed to withstand frigid temperatures and strong winds, although they may not be as substantial as products meant for Arctic terrain… For mild winter weather, promotional products like branded gloves and ski vests make ideal giveaways to staff and clients, and the protection your thoughtful gifts provide may increase loyalty shown to your brand.

Promotional Products to Make Car Rides Memorable



Long car rides with unhappy passengers are often made more painful by incessant whining, but by sharing promotional products to make car rides less miserable, the recipients will be eternally grateful! Typically when thinking of whiny passengers, young children come to mind, but even adults can become disgruntled when trapped in a claustrophobic, cramped vehicle for extended periods of time. I experienced this when waiting in a parking lot this weekend following a packed event. Traffic was stopped, and I wished that I had promotional products like a deck of cards to keep my companions entertained!

Promotional Products on Primetime Television



The holidays are over, and 2010 is shaping up to be a year full of great programming, funny commercials, and strategically placed promotional products interspersed in both sitcoms and advertisements. Cell phones continually play a significant role on shows like Gossip Girl, which has successfully integrated text messaging and product placement into its marketing efforts, and Desperate Housewives, which runs ads mimicking themes discussed on the show during commercial breaks. Promotional products have a greater impact when enjoyed by characters featured on popular shows, as the characters themselves are admired and respected by millions of viewers.
