Fun Fabulous
Facts About Classic Promotional Products
From the Article Written by
Tonia Cook Kimbrough for Advantages Magazine
Pencil You In
If you want a surefire way to pencil
yourself into a buyer's schedule, consider a promotional campaign
featuring the classic writing instrument. Yes, the basic
pencil has "written" its way into promotional fame thanks to an
inexpensive price "point" and flawless
utility.
*
A 7-inch pencil can write an average of 45,000 words.
*
Bread crumbs were originally used as pencil erasers.
Mug
It Up
Equally impressive in
its enduring value and collectible charm is the promotional
mug. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal determined
that this basic item is likely the best marketing value
available.
Love That
Lanyard
The ever-useful lanyard
has a colorful history. European infantrymen of the 17th and
18th centuries, known as "dragoons" used lanyards - or sword knots -
to secure their sabers to their wrists. Today, the promotional
lanyard is far less imposing - gracing the necks of trade show
attendees milling the aisles of an exhibition hall. That
front-and-center positioning makes the lanyard a very cost effective
way to advertise a company name.
Tout The
Tee
Of course, for the
school-age consumer, one of the most beloved of promotional items is
the message T-shirt. According to a Jerzees Activewear survey,
79% of 18- to 24-year olds own more than 10 T-shirts, and 19% own
more than 30 T-shirts.
*
The Guinness World Record for the most T-shirts worn
at a time goes to
Matt McAllister. Last fall, he layered
on 155 of
them.
*
Americans allegedly own 1.5 billion T-shirts, enough to
encircle the globe
34 times.
So the next time you plan
creative solutions, consider the classic T-shirt, lanyard, mug, or
pencil. There's so much to appreciate with these surprisingly
versatile standards.
5 Great Reasons to Give a
GiftCynthia Ironson It can get a bit "ho-hum" to give
gifts only when the big man in the red suit says "ho-ho-ho."
There are plenty of other reasons you can give business gifts.
Choosing items, however, can be tricky if you don't keep some basic
guidelines in mind.
1. Your client visited your trade show
booth. Hey, they took the time to come see you. You take
the time to thank them...and then be sure to follow up with them
after you send the gift. Your thoughtfulness might just
inspire them to place an order.
2. One excellent reason companies give gifts to
clients is to show appreciation for a referral.
3. You want to thank the client for an important
order.
4. Your client opened up a new facility or branch
office. They are branching out. Sent them a card with a
tree seedling packet.
5. Your client has reached a company milestone -
say, five, 10, 25 years with the company. Their company will
recognize their loyalty, but you will shine if you remember them
too. Think about: vases, watches, specially etched champagne
bottles, or a celebration-themed basket of assorted
goodies.
Bisphenol A (BPA)
Response
Despite recent negative reports of the use
of BPA in plastic containers, the US FDA has conducted studies and
continues to disprove these negative reports.
"The use of polycarbonate plastic and epoxy
resins for food contact applications has been and continues to be
recognized as safe by the US FDA, the European Commission's
Scientific Committee on Food, the UK Food Standards Agency, the
Japaneese Ministry for Health, Labor and Welfare, and other
regulatory authorities worldwide."
Polycarbonate Plastic is safe, highly
durable, lightweight, resistant to stains and odors, and able to
withstand extremes of hot and cold. It is an environmentally
responsible material and continued use of it is
encouraged.
