The Polder...

Ok- so tell me the truth... what do you think of this??? Would you actually use it? Good idea? Dumb idea?

Visa Debit Cards

Ok, being a hero might be pushing it a little but I still really like this idea as a holiday gift give-away...


The imprint space is great and who doesn't love free money!

Why Is It...

A man wakes up after sleeping under and ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas then bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor then brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste and washes with ADVERTISED soap then puts on ADVERTISED clothes and drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee drives to work in an ADVERTISED car and then...
refuses to ADVERTISE believing it doesn't pay.
Later if business is poor he advertises it's for sale.

Hmmm... the moral of the story is that ADVERTISING pays!

Plan Early for the Holidays!

Planning early for the holidays is always a good thing! You can avoid last minute rush fees, delays in production and expedited freight charges. Factories very often get backed up in December so this is the time to start planning your holiday gift giving. They sometimes offer discounts if you place your orders by a certain date. I will keep updating you with new and different holiday gift ideas over the next few weeks and my next newsletter will focus completely on holiday gift ideas.

Halloween

Fun holidays are a perfect opportunity to brand yourself and make a lasting impression! Below are some of my favorite Halloween ideas plus some specials that are running right now.

These images maybe small but I wanted to share a little case history with you to give you an idea of what it means to make a big and lasting impact on your target audience. About 8-10 years ago when I was still fairly new in this industry, I decided to send out a sound card for Halloween to remind my prospects that I was still around and hoping to earn their business. I chose Halloween because it's a non-denominational holiday, relates to fond memories and fun, and has wide appeal. I choose a sound card that did not require much personalization (easy on the small business budget), it was simply a matter of sticking my business card into the slot. On the cover of the card was a witch with the expression, "Trick or Treat". When they opened the card, it activated a sound chip that made an eerie ghost sound and inscribed was, "it would be a real treat to earn your business". Can I tell you that this many years later, people still come up to me and say, "remember when you sent us that Halloween card"- it made a huge impression, to the extent that they still remember their surprise and amusement this many years later. Of course, most important of all, they remember that I sent it to them!

That sound card is still available, you can view more details by clicking here.

Technology Trends and Gifts

How outstanding is it to finally have a keyboard you can wash in your dishwasher?! No more sticky food stains, crumbs that have fallen down below the keys or coffee that has spilled. You can rinse this keyboard out in the sink or wash it in the dishwasher. There is an anti-microbial version which is excellent for shared computers- we won't go into the germ and infection factor, just know that it is no longer a issue when you use this keyboard. For the typer on the go, there is also a flexible silicon version. The added benefit of giving these as gifts is that your logo is up in that top right hand corner- not some other retail brand- you can count on many daily repeat impressions for your brand. For the basic version, these are starting at $45.99 at 12 pieces on down to $39.99 at 250 pieces.



MOGO is just about the coolest thing to hit our market as of late. This is a high end retail piece now available to be branded with your logo. It stores and charges in your PC card slot. When you take it and fold down the kick stand, it becomes a wireless mouse. I took it for a test drive last week and it's very comfortable, lightweight and it moves easily on whatever surface you are working on. It uses wireless Bluetooth technology and includes an adapter. The MOGO starts at $89.95 for 12 pieces and runs to $79.95 for 250 pieces.



This is a fun and functional gift. It's a digital picture frame with a large imprint space- more than you see on most digital picture frame keytags. It holds up to 70 images and with larger quantities, you can preload it with your logo, pertinent photos and information. Right now the price on this piece is running from $32.99 at 25 pieces to $23.99 at 500.
