  • The Power of the Pen: 6 Reasons Why

    The Power of the Pen: 6 Reasons Why

    6 Reasons Why Promotional Pens are Powerful Marketing Tools

    Pens are the #2 most popular promotional item people receive, second only to wearable products. 

    50% of U.S. consumers own a pen or writing instrument with a logo on it. That is A LOT OF EYE BALLS!

    Pens are gender and age neutral. Pens can be given to every consumer. There is no foreseeable  future where pens will not be useful.

    Pens are considered the most “useful” promotional gift. 73% of the population always keep a pen with them.

    Pens provide the best overall value for your marketing budget. The cost per impression is less than 1/10th of a cent!

    Pens have the best brand exposure as far as promotional items go. The average pen has 8 owners in its lifetime. Wow!

    There are many reasons why the pen is so powerful in promotional marketing.

    If you’re wondering which pen to get, here are some interesting ideas.

    A pen and a stylus in one.

    stylus-pen

    We know people love their mobile devices and styluses are great but… they get lost in the shuffle and get confused with pens.

    Well, now YOU can give them both in one! Click and it’s a pen, click again and it’s a stylus. Genius! This is an item that people will love (and keep!)

    Anti Fraud Pens

    anti-fraud

    Did you know that “check washing” schemes account for more than $815 million in fraud annually?

    Hard to believe in our high-tech world, but enough documents and checks are still done with pen and ink to warrant a gift like this. It’s an unusual gift that people will feel confident using. They won’t want to lose it!

    There are hundreds of options when it comes to promotional pens and I’m here to help.

    Contact me at any time. I look forward to hearing from you,

  • 5 Emotional Messages to Share This Time of Year

    5 Emotional Messages to Share This Time of Year

    Adding emotional value to holiday cards or gifts gives a personal feel.

    This year, show your clients that you care about them. After all, you wouldn’t be in business if it wasn’t for your customers!

    Thanking clients and customers, and letting them know you appreciate them at this time of the year will go a very long way to help make 2016 a great year!

    Very simple messages are all you need. Just something to let them know that some thought was put into the card or the gift.

    Here are a few examples that you can incorporate into your holiday cards and gifts. (These are just examples of what a holiday card can look like – not actual cards to pick from. We will help you choose the perfect one! There are many cards to choose from.)

    Number 1. “Happy Holidays Thanks for a great 2015!”

    card-idea-1

    Number 2. “Happy holidays and here’s to a great new year. “

    Holiday-2

    Number 3. “Happy Holidays! We appreciate your business and look forward to helping you in 2016.”

    holiday-card-3

    Number 4. “As 2015 winds down, we want to acknowledge how grateful we are for all of our wonderful customers. Happy Holidays and thank you for your business.”

    Holiday-4

    Number 5. “Happy Holidays from the grateful staff at Your Company Name.”

    Holiday-Card-5

    (These are just examples of what a holiday message can look like – not actual cards to pick from. We will help you choose the perfect one! There are many cards to choose from.)

    You would be surprised at how a subtle message can make the difference between a card that’s barely acknowledged and one that gets hung up on a refrigerator in the break room or hung on a company bulletin board.

    Be the company that your clients remember this year.

    I look forward to helping you,

  • 6 Great Candy Jars and Tins

    6 Great Candy Jars and Tins

    The holidays are just around the corner and there is still time to order affordable, personalized gifts for your clients and employees.

    As much as everyone complains about too many sweets over the holidays, we all secretly love it! Getting gifts of candy jars and tins of cookies conjures up memories of childhood, happy holiday movies and an overall feeling of well being.

    Here are 6 great candy jar and tin options:

    Oh the Mason Jar

    What a comeback it’s had!  You see them at weddings, boutiques, hip homes and local fair stores. They are no longer just your grandpa’s canning jars.

    Mason Jar

    They are a hip, cool way to hold flowers, craft beers, cocktails and candy! Show your clients and employees just how hip you are and give them all a holiday gift they will re-use after the candy is all gone.

    Holiday Tins

    There is a reason why stores have isles of holiday tins this time of year. People love them! Nothing says “Happy Holidays” more than a tin filled with cookies or candy that are hand delivered with a smile and a handshake (or a hug).

    The Good Old Fashioned Candy Jar

    When is the last time you were in a candy shop? Can you imagine one? ….. Of course you can!

    Even if you’ve only been in a candy shop once in your life or just saw one in a movie, you remember the candy jars… they’re kind of big, kind of square and they have a top that’s pretty hard to get off. Oh… but you want that candy so you wait with delightful anticipation until it’s your turn!

    Bring back the delightful memories of childhood with this simple and inexpensive gift.

  • 3 Simple Items for a Successful Tradeshow

    3 Simple Items for a Successful Tradeshow

    If you have a trade show coming up, you know there are many things to get ready!

    First and foremost is your staff. 85% of trade show success is because of your staff. You can have a million dollar “booth” but if your people aren’t friendly, knowledgable and dressed in nice company apparel, you will be wasting your money. The folks who stop by your booth want feel that your company is trustworthy and your people are helpful and knowledgable.

    3 Simple Items That Make a Big Difference

    You need to be sure that when people glance down an isle, they notice something about you that makes them want to stop.

    1. Retractable Banners

    Retractable Banners are great because they are relatively inexpensive, they travel easy and you can design them to pop! Use a professional graphic artist to create great imagery and color that enhance your brand. You can use multiple banners with different messages placed throughout your space. They retract into their stands so they are easy to travel with and easy to set up and take down.

    retractabel-banners

    2. Table Top Throws

    Novices often forget that they need to cover tables with Table Top Throws. Many conventions come with some sort of table cover, but having a logo and tagline on a cloth cover makes your booth look professional and clean.

    table-top-throws

    3. Trendy Give Aways

    Let’s face it, people expect give aways at trade shows. Why not try something a different than a pen or memory stick?

    Self care is very trendy! Help spread the message that it’s good to take care of yourself with pure, healthy items.

    Essential Oil gifts are appreciated by everyone. Don’t be fooled, men like to take care of themselves too. It’s a gift that won’t get thrown out until all the contents are used up! Let them see your logo every time they use it.

    essential-oils

    Water Bottles are always wanted. The “trend” of exercising is never going away. Many people are carrying their water in their own bottles instead of buying bottled water. Why not have them carry around your logo as well?

    Advantage Print Solutions will hand hold you through the entire process of getting ready for your next trade show or big event.
