Custom Sports Bags
Oct 6th
Every day, more people become aware of the importance of regular physical activity. The growth of this awareness cultivates increased demand for sports equipment. Perceptive businesses take advantage of the demand by increasing brand visibility using custom sports bags and accessories.
People of all fitness levels stride confidently to their preferred exercise facility with heads held high and sports bags grasped firmly. Whether the destination is a gym, basketball court or running track, they are going to increase their health and are proud to let their bags advertise the destination. Custom imprinted sports bags advertise business names as well as a dedication to physical fitness.
Gone are the days of bags consisting of one large cavern. The compartments in the Performance Sports Bag make it as organizationally efficient as purses and briefcases. Sections keep towels, clothing, equipment and shower necessities separate but easily accessible.
The accessories are often as mandatory as the bag. People serious about exercise understand the necessity of keeping hydrated during workouts. A water bottle included in the bag ensures fluid intake while a terrycloth towel wicks away moisture. Handy Carabiner Fans complete the comfort zone.
Custom sports bags and accessories extend comfort zones into the locker room. We notice promotional items when we change. It is easier to notice these items and use them as conversation starters than it is to stare at ceilings, floors or lockers. It is beneficial for business if the products display excellent quality.
RushIMPRINT gives high quality at prices that allow for quantity as well. The items, imprinting and embroidery endure, and your business becomes linked with the concept of endurance.

Alternatively, the Leather Weekender offers upscale luxury. The main compartment is roomy and contains a built-in organizer. Whether the bag is an award to a dedicated employee or an incentive to a potential client, the Weekender’s quality leather and construction paired with a beautifully debossed imprint merits appreciation.
While these two examples are from each end of the budget range, there are many more styles from which to choose. Consider providing a well-travelled executive with a wheeled duffel that exposes your brand across the country or celebrating a long-term client, one who has a liking for physical activity, with a sport duffel.

Distributer Profits Up 5.9% in Second Quarter
Aug 8th
In the flagging business environment, at least one industry is seeing gains. Distributor revenues have increased 5.9% in Q2 of 2011. This is the sixth consecutive gain for the sector, making it one of the most reliable growing niches in the United States. According to the data recently released by the ASI, distribution industry growth totalled $4.6 billion in the last quarter. 
This continued growth shows that while traditional print promotional materials may be a shrinking business, companies and individuals looking to increase their brand awareness are increasingly turning to distributors. An increased emphasis on creativity has led to customers paying distbutor’s a little extra for more memorable branding opportunities.
A look at a top promotional outlet, rushIMPIRINT (found online at http://www.rushimprint.com) will show that brand building buyers can move beyond marketing their brands and events on pens, t-shirts, and magnets. Rubber duckies, sports bottles, USB drives, beach balls, flower vases, and other unique items are all top sellers. As one of the top distributors in the promotions industry, their commitment to exciting, diverse products shows why the distribution sector is thriving.
Promotional marketing is big business and the larger the company, the more opportunities customers have for unique branded promo items. Businesses that earned more than $1 million in revenue per year saw a higher than average growth of 8.7%. But even smaller companies focused on brand building can expect to see significant increases in the short term. The majority of distribution companies surveyed all forecast financial growth in the coming year.
For businesses interested in promotional marketing, now is the time to take advantage of distribution companies specializing in branded promo items. Featuring highly creative inventories that are sure to please customers, the continued success of this specialized industry is a testament to customer’s continued sanctification with the results they have seen.
As the economy slowly but surely sees growth, distribution firms are seeing more orders with an emphasis on high returns. “…(clients) are demanding more value. In our case, they are demanding more creative value versus demanding lower pricing.” explains Mark Graham, president of Right Sleeve Marketing.
Marketing Budgets Rise in 2011
Aug 5th
Another report, the 2011 State of Marketing: Outlook, Intentions and Investments, found that marketers are now beginning to focus, and thus, spend more, on digital media and online marketing. Comparative research by the CMO Council revealed that of the marketers surveyed, a majority of them planned to increase their social media budgets by more than 5%. This budget increase could also be allotted to other forms of online marketing; such as search engine optimization, mobile initiatives and online videos and banners, and brand building and promo products.
Despite these increases, the report states that increased spending on digital media will still depict only a maximum of 10% of marketing expenditure. According to the CMO Council, it is of absolute importance that marketers implement an approach that takes advantage of both digital and online marketing tactics. With both of them, and their effects for that matter, being measurable, it is no wonder the use of these approaches are becoming ever more popular for brand building and increased sales. This was reinforced by CMO Council’s Executive Director, Donovan Neale-May: “Today’s successful marketing organization is unifying its extended ecosystem, aligning more effectively with business and sales groups and integrating campaign components to drive efficiency and more measurable outcomes”.
In addition to the enhanced brand building tactics and increased use of promotional items, the report also revealed the participants’ plans to enhance customer segmentation and targeting. The CMO Council concluded by saying that marketing, as such, has since evolved from simply branding and now impacts many more aspects of business operations, including, strategic planning and forecasting, business development, pricing, channel management and even product design.
