All Things Promotional Marketing
Promotional Ice Scrapers
Feb 18th
Every winter, those in the snow belt spend hours a day shoveling and scraping snow and ice from on and around their cars and trucks. Even when they have driven on their way to the office or store, a short stay inside may require additional scraping to clear the windshield. Anyone who has ever faced this problem has also faced the problem of what to do without an ice scraper! A gloved hand might work alright for snow, but it isn’t worth much when ice has built up on the glass.
Logo ice scrapers are always welcome at times like this! Having several is best, since you never know when you might need one. Most people keep at leat one in their vehicle, and another at home and in the office. What better promotional product than one that people will use quite often, and will appreciate having received it from you? Your logo will be prominently displayed and seen every time the ice scraper is used.
Promotional ice scrapers can be given away at almost any tradeshow, convention or event, and being such an inexpensive item you can give out large numbers of them. They are also conveniently shaped and small enough to be distributed as part of a mail out campaign.
Are you looking for a novelty ice scraper? The ice scraper hand mitten will please everyone you choose to give them to. The mitten comes in handy when removing ice and snow, and protects you from the cold. You can have the ice scraper customized with your logo on the large 3” x 3” imprint area.
Car dealerships, service stations and sporting goods stores will all find these useful items to be a fantastic addition to their advertising mix. They can be handed out at sporting events in the fall and winter seasons, and everyone will appreciate them.
All of the Logo ice scrapers are made of highly durable material that will last through many seasons, giving your logo repeat advertising for a long period and through several seasons.
Promotional Cutting Boards
Feb 17th
How many times have you tried to quickly slice an onion or tomato on your kitchen counter and left a slice in the counter too? Once you have damaged the counter, there is no way to repair it, and you have seriously damaged an expensive counter top. It is so much better to use an item made to prevent this, such as custom cutting boards.
Having one sitting on your counter where it is readily available at all times will save a great deal of time and money. They are easy to clean, preventing the spread of germs and bacteria. It is even better to have more than one, so that you can cut meats on one and vegetables on another. This is also convenient when you are cutting or slicing several things for a meal at one time. Wood cutting boards have always been the most popular. Small cuts in the wood tend to close back up on their own, and wood has some natural anti-septic properties. Bamboo cutting boards are resistant to bacteria, while many people claim that a plastic cutting board is more sanitary than wood. Even rubber has recently come into use as a cutting board material.
custom wood cutting boards come alone, or with additions such as knives. Many are rectangular or square, but you can also find novelty shapes. Plastic boards come in a wide variety of colors to make them more interesting and set them off against your counters.
Specialty promotional cutting boards are also available, such as cheese cutting board sets. Most cutting boards are made to set on the counter, but many are designed to hang out of the way when not in use.
Whichever design of custom cutting board you choose for your advertising purposes, you will find that you receive plenty of praise and recognition for your choice. These cutting boards make wonderful gifts, and you either select to give them alone or with an added treat such as a package of specialty cheese (which can also carry your logo for additional promotion).
Custom Printed Coasters
Feb 16th
What do you use your custom coasters for? These versatile little items are made to protect your tables from scratches, stains and watermarks; one of the first things we do when we have company over is to offer them a drink. Having coasters available helps to save water spots on expensive furniture. They have other uses as well. They can be used to add a splash of color to a room, and since they are small, they take up very little room. When they are spread out throughout a room, rather than just in one place, it is more likely that they will be put to use. They can be used under flower pots and candy dishes to prevent spills.
Another good use for these coasters is to place them under bottles in the refrigerator or in cupboards to prevent the sticky mess from oil, ketchup and other like condiments. They will help to stop drips and dribbles that you will otherwise have to clean up!
Promotional coasters are a convenient giveaway for almost any business or event. They are small but useful and durable, and few people ever have enough of them. They come in a variety of styles and designs, and although the major material is cardboard, you can also find them in materials such as bamboo and rosewood. They can be round or square, depending on your personal preference.
Sports bars and restaurants are particularly good examples of places where these coasters can be used to good advantage. Customers often even pick them up when the evening is over and take them along when a particular design catches their eye.
Imprinted coasters can be as simple as the custom printed round, square or football cardboard coasters with a large 4” x 4” imprint area for your logo. They can be novel, such as the mini mouse pad coaster, with its non-slip rubber foam base, which is perfect for your direct mail campaigns as well as a souvenir for events or conventions. Or they can be as classy as the Rosewood coaster set with its classic design and holder.
Any of these printed coasters will help get your business or event noticed and remembered.
