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.

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!

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.

This promotional product might be small but the impact is huge. You’ll find it perfect for new product rollouts, new website launches, anything that you might help in directing buyers to to your website. One of the great ways to distribute these samll promo items is to give them away at a tradeshow, mail them or toss them out at a festival. The price is low  and you should be able to impress your potential client and excite them with additional marketing material about what they might find when they plug it in.

                             Image

You can program the website launcher with a url that could change content throughout the year.  You could offer quarterly coupons or incentives and encourage the recipient, through e-mail reminders, to plug their launcher in to see what’s new. Consider changing featured products or announce a new artist with visuals and music, this is one exciting promotional web launcher !

 

The product is small and you just have to start the creative process rolling to figure out how your product, service or company can use this launcher to dazzle and impress at a very affordable price.

I found this product at our big industry show and was wowed by it’s possibilities. 

It is a foil lined pouch for putting out cigarette butts, in other words a pocket ashtray. It can also be used for small trash, gum, candy wrappers etc. Why the wow factor? There are many companies that want to promote a clean environment. For the employees that take a break outside, whether smoking or not, it is usually an eyesore when it comes to the trash that can accumulate. A product like this custom imprinted pocket ashtray encourages individual accountability. I like the message it sends when a company hands out something like this to it’s employees. This item is small and easy to distribute during a community fair or a local parade. Send the message “Let’s clean up!” and recieve branding love from all the recipients.

                                                      

Or, try one of the messages below. I love this new product. Kudos to the inventor!

                          Image

Ideas:

National Parks " Prevent Forest Fires"

Environmentalists " Please don't litter" excellent for a client wanting to show their awareness level

States with Smoking Bans

Municipalities  "Stick it here"

 

The other great thing is it allows for great visuals as you can print all over the little pouch for low cost and high impact. The only thing limiting you here is your creative imagination.
