You can bet everyone is going to be enjoying their time together this summer. What a year it has been!

Golfing numbers surged in 2020. Not only did people continue to golf, but a lot of people also took up golfing as a recreation. According to Golf Digest, golf’s popularity in 2020 was the best on record.

This makes it a great time to order summer promotional apparel and gifts. And of course, the people wearing these summer promotional items, (walking around with your logo on them), do not just show up at golf clubs; people wear them all summer long to all summer events as well.

Show your name off this year on some of these great summer promotional items.

Since there are so many options, we picked out a few for you.

Promotional Golf Hats

• Many of the hats are made of 100% cotton twill for comfortable, everyday wear and are designed with a 5-paneled, structured crown, some come with a mesh back.
• Most have a pre-curved visor and an adjustable snapback closure.
• Have your logo front and center!

Promotional Shirts

There are more kinds of promotional shirts than you can imagine. I have narrowed it down to a few that will make your logo shine!

For special customers and employees, how about a promotional jacket?

The beautiful thing about promotional jackets is they are way too nice to not keep. Your logo will be out there for years to come. Show people how special they are by giving them a promotional jacket with your logo on it.

There are also thousands of small items to choose from such as these handy golf towels.

These are inexpensive and gives your company great exposure as they typically are hanging outside of the golf bag, in full view for everyone to see. 

Show your customer, prospects, and employees you care with a special gift this summer. There are many more items to choose from. Contact me and I’ll get you started!

Enjoy the beginning of summer. It’s a special time any year, but this year it’s even sweeter.

Every year, most people make health one of their priorities as they consider their New Years’ resolutions. With the pandemic, keeping our immune systems safe and healthy is top of the list. Sure we all want to lose weight and get in better shape, but fighting off COVID19 is still on everyone’s minds.

The best way to fight off COVID19, or any virus is to keep your immune system safe. I am no expert, but I know the basics are important. The NIH (National Institute of Health) has a Physical Wellness Checklist with”Positive physical health habits can help decrease your stress, lower your risk of disease, and increase your energy.”  Click here to download it.

The promotional industry reacted quickly rolling out lots of  COVID19 Resistant products, and COVID19 supplies, such as masks and sanitizers.

Another interesting innovation is phone sanitizers.

We use our phones everywhere, it makes sense to we want to keep them clean. If you think about it you realize just how many germs phones may be carrying around.

UV Phone Sanitizer with Wireless Charging Pad

This UV Phone Sanitizer with Wireless Charging Pad uses UV-C light technology for sanitization to kill 99% of microorganisms tested.

It can sanitize almost anything that fits inside (7.5″ L * 4″ W * 1″ H) such as large phones, keys, credit cards, watches, eyeglasses, jewelry, medical supplies such as protective equipment, and even children’s utensils.

Desktop UV Sanitizer and Bluetooth Speaker

The Desktop UV Sanitizer and Bluetooth Speaker combine premium sound, three UVC lights, music controls, and a microphone.

These features make this speaker a great addition to any desktop! Simply open the top lid and place your mobile phone, jewelry, or mask to begin the cleaning process.

The Bluetooth speaker produces a premium sound that can be heard around the office! The full music controls allow you to activate your voice assistance (Siri, Hey Google), change the audio, control the volume, and accept/reject incoming calls. The built-in microphone allows you to use the desktop speaker for your conference calls.

If you’re interested in promotional products for 2021 (whether they are COVID related or not), contact me, and I can help you get started.

I look forward to a much better year in 2021!

Everyone has been talking about how “terrible” the year 2020 has been. I don’t know about you, but at this time of year, I like to reflect on what was good about the year (see my last blog post), and what I can look forward to in the next. 

#1 Seeing the People I Miss.

It is really hard to have gone so long without seeing most of my friends, family, and colleagues. But thinking about this makes me realize how many amazing relationships I have. The fact that I miss so many people tells me just how many fun times I have to look forward to when it’s safe to see everyone in person!

#2: The vaccine. I don’t know when I will be eligible to receive the COVID19 vaccine, but I am so grateful there IS one rolling out now.

#3: Not being eligible for the vaccine immediately. Yes, I want to get the vaccine as soon as I can. But the reason I’m not eligible yet is I’m young and healthy. How can I not be grateful for that? Along with this, I am so grateful the vaccine is now rolling out to healthcare and frontline workers.

#4: My health. I’m repeating this as it’s so important! I’m thankful for my health. The immune system is key to avoiding COVID so, being healthy means even more to me now. 

#5: Virtual meetings. Virtual meetings won’t be going away anytime soon. Many people I know are rethinking the way they worked before the virus. I know of people who want to work more from home. There are many kids who like being at home with their families. So thankful we have the internet, Zoom, Google Meet, and Facetime to connect with our friends, family, and colleagues!

#6: Hugging. I am pretty sure once the vaccine is widely available, I will be hugging a lot of people.

#7: Spring and summer. Here in Ohio, we look forward to spring and summer. Winter can be quite dreary with gray skies and not much snow. But this year, it will be even more special as that is when the vaccine is reportedly going to be available to the general public, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal.

I will be happy when I can go out for dinner, go to the movies or the theatre. I’ll be happy to attend sporting events like OSU Buckeye games. I’m excited for kids to be able to gather and have fun like “the old days.”  There is so much to look forward to in 2021.

For me, 2020 has been a time to reflect on what is really important in life.

Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you in person soon.
