Have you ever been in a plumbing bind?  Perhaps your disposal stopped working the morning of a dinner party for 20 of your closest friends.  Maybe you awoke to find your downstairs bathroom filled with water everywhere it shouldn’t be.  These are the moments when you need your handy plumbers’ business card.  The other day I had a plumbing emergency and my home warranty company sent over a plumber.  When he left he gave me a magnet with his information on it as well as a business card for 10% off of my next service.  This was such a smart business move.  Next time I’m in a plumbing bind, I’ll be sure to call him.  And I’ll know where to find his information.  On the imprinted magnet he gave me to put on my refrigerator.

I was at the grocery store today and I saw that they had rows and rows of ice chests for sale.  After first getting over the fact that it is already March, I realized that this was a smart move.  As it gets closer to Spring and of course, Summer, ice chests become a great item to sell.  People going on picnics at the beach, seeing a concert at the local Bowl, or camping with their friends and families need to invest in an ice chest of some sort.  Why not use it as a marketing tool?  You can get your clients insulated bags with your imprint on it.  That way they are spreading the word about your company and it’s generous and practical methods of advertising. 

I took my daughters to get new shoes last weekend.  At the end of the visit they received red and purple balloons with the name, phone number and address of the shoe store.  There was also an imprinted logo of the store.  What a difference that made in the attractiveness of the balloon.  It is truly an easy and effective way to advertise.

Recently, my son & his wife took their 2 kids to Chicago for a family event.  As you might imagine, the luggage far outnumbered the four of them.  They had car seats, strollers, and bags and bags of warm clothes, dressy clothes, and whatever else they felt necessary for their week long vacation.  And of course, when they finally did arrive to Chicago, the airline had lost their luggage.  What would have helped make this situation easy for the airline (and my kids, had their luggage arrived) would be colorful specialized luggage tags that would be easy to spot.  What a great gift for the holiday season when many people go on vacation with their families.  Not only are you providing a practical gift, you are advertising to everyone who sees your brightly colored luggage tag. 

One of my grandchildren is about ready to embark upon her journey to elementary school. Her parents are not sure where the best place is for her to attend Kindergarten. As a result, they are visiting private and public schools near where they live. In doing so, they have received a number of Promotional Products or Advertising Specialties by the private schools, quiet reminders to fill out applications or call with questions. They have gotten pens, pencils, folders, magnets, and even staple removers with the school’s information imprinted upon each product. Once granted acceptance into the school, there are t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and more available for purchase. This is a great fund raising tool, but it is also an easy way to send out a reminder - in this case to the parents, but businesses can also benefit greatly from the quiet message these types of imprinted items send.

In today’s world, security is foremost in everybody’s mind.  Many people have managed to couple their concern with the need to have a key ring.  Custom imprinted key rings are one of the most used advertising specialties or promotional products so when you combine a key ring with a user security feature its insures the retention of this unique product.  Key rings have been developed that also serve as emergency lights - both battery operated and hand  cranked as well as ones that pull apart so you can give the car keys without giving your house keys to a parking attendant.

Every year the Jewish Federation sponsors a day when the community comes together to do good deeds or mitzvahs for the needy, regardless of their religious beliefs. Part of the program includes providing a custom imprinted t-shirt that a child within the community has designed. These shirts, which are sold for the benefit of the total community, are a good example of how a custom imprinted t-shirt can be used as an advertising specialty or promotional product.

Are you having a problem with mice? No? Then, how about with your computer mouse? If you are not using a laser mouse, then the problem might be that the ball is getting dirty.
