Flip Flop Season Starts Now!

Happy First Day of Summer! Looks like you could use a new pair of flip flops.

Flip flops and slides make fun promo items and it is not an idea that has been used to death. Really how many more string bags do you  need. Unless perhaps they have a pair of flip flops in them.

Need some ideas of how to incorporate the ultimate summer accessory into your promo needs?

  • Flip flops are a natural fit for the hospitality industry and a great way to get your hotel, inn, or spa name out there. Add your logo, city and state, or just a hashtag to make your customers stay memorable.
  • Planning an walk, run, or fitness event? Add these to the goodie bag for extra flair. Remember to add your promo hashtag to your event flyer so after the finish lines have been crossed and medals handed out your Instagram account will be flooded with  feet shots.
  • Getting married? Will there be dancing late into the night? If yes, flip flops or slides make a very different and memorable wedding favor. And perfect to slip on for a long night of dancing under the stars.
  • Speaking of weddings don’t forget family reunions, company picnics, or boat and beach events.

The Unofficial Start of Summer

And just like that Summer is underway. For a lot of folks that means shorter work days, casual Friday attire all week, and office picnics. Bring on the pigment dyed tees to lend  that perfect Summer vibe to anything you are up to this season.

Hanes has gotten into the pigment dyed game with their brand new line called Comfort Wash.

Port & Company has a great line of pigment dyed tee shirts and  every year they add to their color options giving you a lot of choices.

Then there is the tried and true original Comfort Colors. A slightly higher price point but the quality can’t be beat.

Between these brands you won’t have any trouble finding just the right color, style, or feel to make your next event into a wonder Summer memory.

Summer Browsing…

You have an event and you have no clue what to do about it. You are tired of handing out more pens, tee shirts, or hats. You want to mix it up but don’t have any clue where to start. This happens a lot. Too many choices not enough time to explore them all. When that feeling starts to creep in, just sit back and browse. We find that when our customers give us a general idea of what they are looking for and are flexible with suggestions they end up finding the perfect “thing” by almost not looking for it.

If you are struggling with that exact dilemma right now sit back, relax, and browse the Summer/Fall collection above. Bet you’ll find something intriguing.

Now where did I put my 8-in-1 pen…

 

Seriously…8 functions 1 pen. And it still looks pretty cool.

This is dedicated to all you builders, handymen and handywomen, hardware store owners, and craftsmen and women who need a fun give away or promotional item that starts at a good price point and only gets better the more you buy. (That was one heck of a run on sentence but still point made.)

 

 

Denim Jackets Are Always In Style

While other fashion trends and styles come and go you can always count on the good old denim jacket to be in vogue. Sometimes the cut is looser, sometimes shorter, the fabric sometimes patterned, but the basic jacket style remains the same.

In our industry most folks don’t think of the denim jacket as a go to for their uniforming needs. But it shouldn’t be ruled out especially if you want to mix things up for corporate (or not so corporate) events, conferences, or parties.

Can’t use them in your day to day work wardrobe? You can use them as gifts for sales goals met, achievement awards, or as the holiday season approaches, thank you gifts. It is an item that won’t be put in the back of the closet and as we all know your employees are your best use of your advertising budget.

Don’t forget they could easily be used as a promotional item or as part of a gift basket, giveaway, or raffle.

See we are always full of ideas!

The New Power Suit featuring New Era

A few weeks ago I did a post called Putting It Together about how to approach setting  up your brand or  uniform  with a cohesive look. Ironically, the next day after I published that post this appeared in my in box.

This is New Era’s take on uniforming, highlighting their new fashion brand that  arrived in late winter. With these combos they show that you don’t have to have a “traditional” (polo, jacket, tie, etc…) uniform to  achieve a pull together professional look.

The New Era catalog is full of other great ideas to help you think outside the normal uniforming box. Click the text in red to see the catalog or stop in the shop and pick up a printed copy. We have plenty for the taking.

Soundwave Audio Bottle

Yes you read that correctly. A water bottle and blue tooth speaker in one.  Being able to carry your tunes and beverage in one hand means you are a pop up party waiting to happen.

Ash City introduces the Tech-Shell Vest

Ash City has come out with a new Tech-Shell vest as part of their CORE 365 line.

This could be the best new thing to up your golf game or up your golf game giveaways at your next event.

The style comes in both men’s and ladies’ cut with classic colors to compliment your brand. The ladies’ style has a front and back princess seam for a flattering fit.

Both styles offer water resistance and windsmart technology. ( I have no clue what windsmart technology is but suffice it to say it will block the wind on those breezy spring days on the golf course…or where every you may find yourself on those breezy spring days.) They also sport a chin rash guard and a reflective toggle on the zipper.

If you are not a vest person but like the concept click here for the companion jacket.

The Belmont Travel Tumbler

We (really just me as Dale is down South at the moment) are quite impressed with the Belmont 20oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler. It is one of those items that looks good, works well, and makes for  brand visibility at a great price point. More importantly it is a gift that folks will really use. The thing I liked best about it was the lid. The lid had a tight fit and didn’t leave me feeling like one accidentally tip over and it would come flying off. I also liked the drink tab you slide open (or closed). It requires a little bit of pressure but it made me feel, again, it won’t coming flying open on you when you are not ready for it. My current travel mug sometimes leaves me wary that my car interior will be wearing my tea if I take a corner too sharply. Not that I do but well…you know how that goes….

Features include:

  • 18/8 Stainless steel construction
  • Double wall insulated
  • Keeps beverage hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 12 hours
  • Tapered bottom fits cup holders
  • Clear plastic push-on lid with sliding drink opening
  • FDA certified
  • Hand wash only

Pictured is a one color logo but if your brand has more that one not to worry. We are currently working on the same item (in red) with a client of ours that has 4 colors in their logo. The proof looks great and we can’t wait to see the tumblers in person. Bonus point: the price  doesn’t go up much for more than one color. Always nice to hear while doing your advertising/promotional budget.
