 Yosemite National Park is a fantastic place to visit in the winter since there are a fewer tourists at this time of year.  I’ve been going for a number of years, but every year it seems to be a completely different place.  One thing is the same, though, every year new and different advertising specialties or promotional products seem to surface in the Park stores.  You can find everything from t-shirts to coffee cups to pens …. all of the products have been branded with the Yosemite logo and sold at very substantial profit to the Park system.  The Park stores use the Parks logo in conjunction with traditional Promotional Products to promote the park and make substantial profits. Simple inexpensive ideas like this can be very effective, both monetarily and marketing wise.

Do you love gardening … I know I do.  One of the things that has always surprised me as that the nurseries do not make better use of the chances they have to display their unique custom imprint.  They could use it on custom imprinted promotional products such as ballpoint pens, pads, rulers or ball caps.  When I plant each spring I always vow to write down what new or different plants I put in the ground so I will know what to repeat the following year but somehow I never seem to have either a pad or pen available to do the job … why not give me one with the nursery’s custom imprint on these very handy Promotional products so that I will see their name and be constantly reminded of their high quality stock.  You ask why a ball cap … it’s a great way to keep your custom imprint in constant view and to protect your clients when they are working in the sun.  The custom imprinted ruler is also a great advertising specialty that the gardener always needs each spring to insure that the plants are being placed the correct distance apart.  So you see the average gardener is a great candidate for using a nurseries custom imprinted promotional product.

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.
