Technology Products

If you are looking for a promotional product that is geared towards technology I really like the products offered by Hand Stands.  I recently provided the MicroBuff MINI Microfiber Cleaning Cloth for a client that has an adhesive back to allows it to stick to your electronic device.  I know I hate it when my IPhone or reading glasses get smudged up (yes smudged is a word).  Check out some of their products at www.HandStandsPromo.com and let me know what you think!

20 oz. Plastic Fitness Shaker with Measurements

If you have a business that is geared towards healthcare this 20 oz. Plastic Fitness Shaker with Measurements is a great item.  A lot of people that are trying to lose weight or get in great shape use these to mix the liquid and dry powder of their choice. 

Stainless Steel Bottle

Zippo® Stainless Bottle 17oz

 

I love this 17 oz. high quality water bottle by Zippo.  It has a push button lock/unlock for opening the drinking cap. Silicone rubber seals inside the lid to prevent leakage. Double-wall construction. Designed for warm or cold beverages. Easy-to-grip curved body. 
Best of all the minimum quantity to order is only 36.

Recognition Awards

Everyone likes to be recognized for a job well done and of course that is where recognition awards come into play in the workplace.  It is amazing the high quality of decorating that can now be done on awards with engraving, laser etching and full color imprinting.  If you want to motivate & retain your employees say a big "Thank You" for goals reached, quality of work and years of service!

Umbrellas

Spring golf is right around the corner and if you are hosting a golf event and want to give a high quality umbrella to your attendees you should consider the MVP by Peerless Umbrella.

It has a 62" arc with vented technology and it will withstand wind gusts up to 60mph without inverting.   Fiberglass shaft and ribs, Duraflex construction, rubber, pistol grip handle and a matching nylon sleeve.

It is availabe in various solid colors or alternating color panels like the photo shown.

You can view their entire line of products at www.PeerlessUmbrella.com.

What's HOT in the industry

I constantly am asked the question "What's HOT"?  My reply is not what they are looking for because the answer depends on many things such as:

- What are you trying to accomplish?
- What is your budget?
- When do you need it in hand?
-  How many do you need?
- What have you done in the past?
- What is your method of distribution?
- What are the demographics of who you are giving it to?
- What is the time period for the promotion?

Now, of course, I could tell them that USB's, Moisture Management Material, Texting Gloves, Made in the USA, "Green" products and Target Marketing are HOT but of course that would be toooooo easy!

Re-activating Old Accounts

It is a new year and people have new resolutions and goals to increase sales.  One area that you should consider is coming up with a strategy to contact people that you have done business with in the past but for one reason or another have not had any recent sales.  I would first start off with contacting the company to make sure that you have the name of the current person that you would deal with, clarifying if there is the possibility of doing business with them and then consider your possible options in reconnecting with them.
