Jotters come in all sizes, shapes and materials. One of my favorite sizes is the small or miniature jotter. It will fit in a purse or briefcase easily. The microsuede jotter feels nice, and the look is very stylish.

 

Why give a promotional jotter? People always need to jot down names, numbers thoughts etc and jotters fill up. How many have you used in a year? I have three at my desk just from the last two years. It is a good gift to give because people use them on a daily basis. Leather is great debossed with a company logo, it comes across very subtle with a classy look. Some jotters look great with a contrasting screenprinted logo to coordinate with the fashion colors of the piece.

Jotters come in lined and unlined versions. If you market to a more artistic community perhaps an unlined version is better as it provides a page with no borders, where as an engineering firm may feel more comfortable staying between the lines. No matter, your clients will appreciate the usefulness of a memo holder that is always needed and did I mention, very affordable.

I was so impressed with this particular wireless presenter it is now a top pick this year for a corporate gift. Wireless presenters are great tools for managing and controlling a power point presentation and impressing your clients. You can control your slide show on your laptop from up to 45 feet away. It is all done with RF (radio frequency) technology, so you don’t need line of sight.

You can page forward or back through a power point presentation all without ever touching the keyboard. Long gone are the days of having someone sit at a computer hitting the page up and down keys. Some models such as the Promotional Ultra - 512MB - Wireless presenter/laser pointer include a USB flash drive.

The wireless presenter is the perfect tool for someone who gives a lot of presentations. The freedom of not being tied to a computer can allow the presenter to be more dynamic, improve delivery and leave a professional impression rather then struggling with a keyboard or having awkward moments when someone moves into the line of sight that occurs with a traditional laser pointer.

The usefulness of this product will assure your logo plenty of branding exposure when it gets used over and over again and creates a lot of interest in the actual piece itself. It is also a great presenter gift when speakers are brought in for corporate presentations.

For sales people, business professionals, and teachers this is the IDEAL gift.

Oh, and another reason this wireless promotional pointer is so cool, you can have the rubberized material it is made out of, manufactured in your specific PMS color for as little as 50 pieces! Yes, you heard right 50 pieces. Better get your order in now as this will be a hot item this year for corporate gifts.

A promotional safety hammer may not be at the top of your 'gotta have list' until you wish you had one, and then, it may be too late. During the winter months when most companies connect with employees and clients by handing out some kind of present, a 'thank you gift'. A year end gift that says 'I care for your well being' will always be appreciated.

                                          Image

This corporate gift features a window breaking hammer, seat belt cutter, flashing beacon and flashlight. It provides a rapid exit from a vehicle in case of an emergency. Wearing a seat belt is, in most traffic accidents, a life saver. If you land upside down in a stream bed with rising water, time is off the essence and easy disengagement from your seat belt might mean the difference between life and death.

 

Question is, where do you keep this tool? In the console? I hope so because if you can’t undo your seat belt how are you gonna reach the glove compartment? I think it would need to be secured in a clamp above the driver’s visor or over the rear view mirror so both a passenger and a driver could have easy access. Perhaps it comes with directions on where to keep it so when you actually do need it you can put your hands on it! Even though I haven’t answered my own questions about storing it, I still think it is a great corporate gift that folks will put in their car and feel better that they have one, just in case!

Why is a non woven bag one of the most popular promotional items of all time?

Let's talk about what this bag is made out of first. It is made from non woven polypropylene which is recyclable but not biodegradable nor ecofriendly. The bag is lightweight, has bonded fibers, contains no toxic materials and is water repellent. You can throw it into the washer if it becomes soiled. It is not a new material as it has been used in hospitals in surgery gowns, booties, masks etc. The bags are intended to be reused repeatedly to replace the use of hundreds of HDPE plastic bags.

So why is it so popular? Because folks want to help the environment. Two states, WA and CA, have already passed laws to outlaw the plastic bag. It won't be long before all states follow suit and people need more then a couple of these bags to carry their purchases home. It is a great opportunity to brand your service, prodct or company out in the marketplace and with repeated exposure. It's a marketers dream. Problem is, they are getting hard to find. Factories are working 24/7 to make this product.

Check our super grocery bag special . You'll find better pricing then anyone else can offer on this tote and a free screen. This offer is good throughout the fall so order yours now at these incredibly low prices. If you have any other questions just give one of our personal account managers a call and they'll be glad to talk bags and how your corporate marketing program can make a difference in the world!   

 You might want to do some computing yourself to be even more convinced that this is a great international program that will make an impact on the environment in a positive way. Check out bringyourbag and see how much of an impact your own personal switch from using plastic shopping bags to providing your own totes will make in a year.

In a world of e-relationships the written card, whether it is to say thank-you, congratulations, or happy birthday is quickly disappearing. Why is that? Are we just to lazy to go to the local store and purchase a card? Is it because we have little time on our hands to peruse the aisles and find just the right words to express our feelings?

Whatever our excuse is, I experience the same wonderful, warm feeling when a card arrives in the mail the old fashion way. It is the same feeling I used to get ten years ago, maybe even more so, or is that a hot flash? No matter, it stands out more now then ever as it is such an anomaly to receive a card via snail mail.

One supplier in our industry ‘gets’ this warm, fuzzy feeling and they just expanded their line of ‘logo imprinted greeting cards’ designed for the corporate marketplace. They are handcrafted, 3 dimensional and very original in their design. You can custom imprint your company’s logo on the inside and then add a personalized message in your own handwriting to reach out and extend your relationship with a client in a way that sending an e-mail card just cannot accomplish.

I promise you this simple way of staying in touch will have an impact. Encouraging your sales, or customer support staff to use them for different occasions will communicate a personal relationship that cannot be matched. Check out the promotional Thanksgiving card. Sending out these cards will get you noticed ahead of the seasonal cards that will follow and you will be pc with this holiday wish. No one has a problem with ‘giving thanks’ in November, especially if it is for a special client!


We wish to give thanks to all of you who want to express yourself in this way by offering an extra 10% off for all orders placed before September 30th, 2008. Just mention this blog to your personal account manager when ordering. To see all of the latest designs just introduced check out the complete line of custom imprinted holiday and special event cards.
