New Year, New Beginning
The nice part about the New Year is that you feel like you can start fresh. You are allowed to forget all that was not in the previous year and you are given a clean slate to start the New Year with new resolutions and goals to achieve as a company and as individuals.
A great way to start the year off right is to stay organized. If you are not organized, chaos is inevitable. If you are unorganized, it makes your goals and resolutions for the New Year a slippery uphill battle. Here are a few things to make your new year a positive one:
Calendars are a great help in keeping you organized. Having a place to jot down daily need to do’s or important appointments & meetings that cannot be missed is a valuable asset that is often overlooked. With the option of desk pad, desktop, magnet or wall calendars, large or small, you can choose the one that will get the job done best for you.
Padfolios, Portfolio Bags & Organizers are also a great way to keep your work or personal life in order. Keeping the important things close to you and in an organized fashion will make your life easier to deal with and less stressful.
Now that you are organized we can work on that other resolution, exercise. Get yourself feeling better with an exercise routine. Go for a walk before work, at lunch or at the end of your shift. Instead of conversing over the water cooler, take it to the sidewalks. To make it even more enjoyable get yourself an exercise buddy, pedometers, mini radios, sports bottles, travel fitness kits or a yoga mats to take with you when you go. It is much easier to conquer the world when you are feeling healthier physically and mentally.
We all know life can be hard, so make your life easier by staying organized and being healthy in the New Year.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Same issue comes up every year, what do I get people for the holidays? Yes, that is right, the holiday season is upon us and it is time to start thinking about your customer and employee appreciation gifts. Why get them something you ask. Because a great holiday gift shows that you do care and it is a great moral boost for any underpaid / overworked employee. The same is true for your customers and clients that have made you the success that you are. They want to know that they are needed, appreciated and important to the success of your company. It is a positive circle, and a must to establish a good customer service relationship. Show your appreciation to your customers and employees and they will return the favor by working hard and doing business with you.
A wide range of gift ideas are available for you to consider. You will want your customer or client to receive something they will use and enjoy. Remember, you are trying to impress them. Why not WOW them with an MP3 Player, BBQ Set, Jacket, Wrist Watch, Picnic Backpack, Steel Travel Mug, etc… Just remember that it is important to choose an item that is appropriate and one they will appreciate.
What ever your final decision may be, do not forget that it is better to give than receive.
Peace on earth and good promotional gifts to all.

Chill Running Down Your Spine
It is official, winter is here. This means that “chill” running down your spine must be stopped. Why not stop it with Promotional Jackets, Blankets, or Knit Beanies with your company logo embroidered on them. Give your deserving customer’s and employees custom logo imprinted winter apparel and give them that warm, fuzzy feeling again.
First to consider are Micro Fleece, 3-in-1, Canvas, or Nylon Jackets with your custom logo embroidered on them. Not only will your employees and clients stay warm, they will know you appreciate them. What they might not realize is that they will be promoting you everywhere they go by wearing your logo.
Fleece Blankets and Knit Beanies are another option. These are great for schools to promote their winter sport of choice. Ski resorts and mountain lodges would be impressed with the results of having Blankets and Beanies available for there customers to purchase. Again, staying warm and promoting your company.
Finally your customers are nice and toasty warm, but how are they going to get home with icy car windows. Logo screen printed Ice Scrapers are what they will need. Give them another product that will keep them safe behind the wheel with Road-Side Emergency Car Kits. You never know when you will need one till it is too late.
What ever option you choose for a winter promotion, your customers will appreciate the thoughtfulness and repay you in the end for your kindness and generosity. Your customers and employees will be walking billboards promoting you everywhere they may roam.

Promote The Year With Calendars
Are you looking for that promotional item that will not just get tossed to the side? Calendars are a great promotional option for a large range of companies. Think about it. Advertising to your customers or clients while having your company name & information within there grasp the entire year. Sign me up! This is a great option to promote yourself once annually and keep your advertising budget in check. It can also be beneficial for that company just starting out promoting themselves working with a tight budget. There are several different options you will have and below are a few in detail:
Calendar Magnet to have displayed on file cabinet or refrigerators are great for Real Estate Agents, Doctors, Schools, Take-Out Restaurants, Sports Teams, etc... A selection of different shapes and sizes are always an option. Have a sports schedule you want to promote? Magnets will do just that.
Decorate your office or kitchen with Wall Calendars. Cars, Bridges, Animals, Models and many other styles and picture scenarios are available to choose from. Want a completely customized calendar with your own pictures? It can be done to your specs.
Want something a bit more substantial? Desk Pad Calendars are great for employees or clients that work at a desk for a living. They act as reminders for scheduling, organizing and at the same time they protect the desktop from pen markings and the everyday abuse a desk may take.
Need a personal secretary, but can’t afford it? Planners and Organizers are also a great idea for the clients that are always on the go or just wanting to be more organized in the office or at the home.
By choosing the correct calendar, your company name and pertinent information are always close at hand. They are always close by and serve as a constant reminder of who you are and what your company does. It makes it easy to pass along your information to other employees or clients that are in need of your services as well.
I always say you must take advantage of the opportunities given to you. To have your contact information seen daily, weekly or monthly throughout the year is an excellent way to promote.

Kids are Back to School
The new school year is finally here. Why not advertise your company and help your local schools at the same time with logo imprinted School Supplies and School Spirit products.
Make sure that the students at your local schools have all the School Supplies that they may need for the upcoming year. Donating school supplies like pocket kits, backpacks, pencils, rulers, etc. to your local schools is a great way to advertise your company and give your future / currant customers a positive feeling that you care about your community.
With the new school year starting, that also means all organized school sports are kicking off. Support your local school teams with School Spirit products like seat cushions, megaphones, pompoms, pennants and more. Show your customers you are a strong supporter and are always cheering for your local teams. Use the products as a fund raiser for your local schools and help them in purchasing what they may really need like computers or team uniforms that will make there school year one not to forget.
Showing the community that you care about them will in return bring you clients that will remember you and your company. Advertising your company and supporting your local school is always the best win-win concept.

Choosing the Right Promotional Product
With all of the options available out there, how do you know what promotional products or trade-show giveaways are the appropriate choices to maximize your company's growth potential? Many factors can affect your selection depending on the customer you are targeting and/or the company you represent.
A general rule of thumb is to choose an item that reflects your business or target customer. For example: If you are an exterminator, a flyswatter or bug shaped magnet could be good choices. If you sell wholesale lumber, perhaps a carpenter's pencil, tape measure or yardstick. Do you operate a Day Spa? Then lotions, emery boards or stress relievers may be the thing for you.
If you happen to be in a field that doesn't sell to the customer on a regular basis, then a different approach is needed. You will need products that are visible to your customers on a daily basis as a constant reminder keeping your company name at their fingertips and always available when needed. That’s where calendars come into play. Real Estate Agents/Brokers and Car Sales Reps appreciate the idea of calendars and the fact that they are something that everyone uses daily. The calendars can be wall size, desktop or even magnetic. Whenever your customer is looking for a new home or car, your contact information will always be at there fingertips. You may even get a referral or two passed on to you simply because they have your information right in front of them.
If your advertising budget is an issue, then you would be looking for that best bang for your buck product. My suggested items would be pens, pencils, magnets, key chains or even rulers. Wanting your name as a constant reminder to your customers, these particular items are of great value and an easy way to advertise yourself without emptying your account. For a cost of $0.25 per piece and up, this is a inexpensive way to get the word out about your company. This is a less expensive option than your average search engine pay per click ads.
If you still need help with what item to choose, just ask the customer service specialists to assist you in your selection. They often have great innovative ideas and can help in making the perfect choice for you and your company.
Remember, people love to get things for free, no matter what it may be. It is better to give than to receive, but trust me you will receive. The gifts that you give out to your customers will pay off in the end.
