Brand your Business: Sweet rewards
As we all know, the customer is king and reciprocation can be a powerful tool in any businessman's arsenal. One way to show your customers you appreciate their business, and also earn more of it, is to give a thank you gift for a large order, or at the end of a profitable year or quarter. Why not stock up on some of these sweet candy-filled bags? Each come in an upscale cellophane bag, smart ribbon, and personalized sticker. You even have your choice of several sweet treats to fill it up with! An initial investment in this can pay dividends later as you start to spread your gratitude through your customer base. Want more ideas to show your thanks to those awesome people who keep you in business? Contact us today and we'll be happy to help!

Brand Your Business: Cheers!
One of the best things about Promotional Products is that they make equally great items to have around the office as they do to giveaway outside the office. Take these ceramic coffee mugs. True: they would make delightful customer appreciation gifts, but they are also wonderful things to stock a break room with, or to give to employees as part of a reward/ incentive program. Not only do they engender a great feeling among your staff, but they also give your workplace a professional look to clients. Best of all, this mug only has a minimum order of 36 pieces, so it's a great fit for even the smallest of businesses. For more ideas of how promotional items can help you increase business and reward employees, contact us today.

Thing that's making us smile this week: It's Time to Raise the Curtain...
Is there any creation other than the Muppets which is so indelibly dyed into a certain generation's childhood memories? I grew up in a wrold of Sesamet Street, the Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock and consider myself the luckier for it. I enjoy being able to share all these shows with my own child now and love to see the magic and wonder they spark in her. One of the best elements of any Muppet experience is the music. Now some of today's hottest bands have gathered to pay tribute to these classic Muppet songs. The Green Album, due out August 23, sticks to songs written specifically for or performed by the Muppets, and culls from a deep catalog of fan favorites. As Robin Hilton of NPR states, "We live in cynical times, but listening to The Green Album is a nice reminder of the joy and beauty that remains." Stream it in its entirely here.

Brand your Business: Show Some Support
One of the best ways to spread awareness for your organization is to get involved with the best charities and non-profit organizations in your community. These are win-win relationships in that they expose both your business, and the cause you select, to whole new audiences. Why not sponsor a fundraiser for a local children's charity? Or host a Relay for Life event? To help boost your fundraising, or spread the news, why not use promotional products? These ribbon magnets can be customized by color and message. You can sell them to raise money, or give them away to raise awareness. Either way, if your business name is on them, you are being exposed to lots of new potential customers, and they know that you are an active member in your community. For more ways that promotional products can help you and your business, contact us today!

Thing that's making us smile this week: The Crayon-Bow
As a fan of color and design, I've held a life long fascination with Crayola. Was there anything more magical than opening that giant box of crayons as a kid and finding shades and hues you never knew existed? This awesome graphic details all of Crayola's color incarnations, showing how the color selection has vastly increased, and - of course - how the names have gotten "more colorful" with each passing decade.

Brand your Business: Bubblicious!
While you should certainly invest in a few "practical" promotional items for your business, you should also consider keeping a few "fun" items on hand. Unusual promotional items help you stand out from the crowd and bring some joy and frivolity to your customers. These bubbles are great for customer giveaways for any business that comes in contact with children: restaurants, inns and hotels, amusement parks, and so on. Also, this is another great promotional product which can also serve as a terrific wedding favor. Instead of branding the bottles with your business name, simply label them with your wedding date or dates of the bride and groom and viola! - you have a perfect favor for your guests. For more ideas for different ways to utilize promotional products, contact us today!

Brand your Business: "Stick" in people's minds
No matter what your business or organization, I'm betting you can use these foil stamped labels. Whether for use on correspondence or labeling your products, foil stamped labels are an attractive way to reinforce your brand. I once worked at a Framed Art store and each picture we sold, or custom framed got a foil stamped label stuck on the back. Not only was this a way to make the entire product look more complete and professional, but it also severed as a little reminder for them where they found such a beautiful piece. I often see these labels in gift shops, farmers markets, candy stores and other unique, independent shops to seal a package. In fact, a nice foil label placed on a plain paper bag can be an affordable alternative to having an expensive "hot stamped" custom shopping bag produced. Whichever way you choose to use them, foil stamped labels can certainly help you brand your business. For more ideas and suggestions, contact us today.
