| | MAY 7, 2012 | | Files in a Flash
Recently, I was at a local shop having files printed out on their top notch, expensive printer that I surely cannot afford to buy for my own use. The CD that I’d brought in with the files was giving the girl behind the counter issues and causing me anxiety by the minute. What if I she couldn’t get it to work? “Did you ever think of a flash drive?” she asked me. It was truly one of those light bulb moments that we see in cartoons. A flash drive? A flash drive! Why hadn’t I thought of that? Doesn’t everyone use them? Why wasn’t I? Now, I’m addicted to the Eco Bamboo USB 2.0 Drive 512MB. It’s cute, it’s eco-friendly, and it slips easily into a pocket, purse, or briefcase. And these promotional items are a great giveaway, too. Everyone has files – whether they are pictures, documents, spreadsheets, or music files. And this itsy bitsy drive is just the right place where they can be stored. Clients, employees, potential customers will appreciate this gift. Believe me. I cannot believe I went all these years without one. Now, I can’t live without it! And your recipients won’t be able to either.

| | APRIL 30, 2012 | | Doing the Wave
Calling all sports-affiliated companies! You need to advertise your team whether it’s for the NFL, minor league baseball, or a high school mascot. Nowadays, everybody wants to show the world who they root for – whether it’s autumn Sundays on the couch or chilly April nights on the bleachers. Before your team gets to the finals, you must be prepared. Why? Because once it’s the NCAA’s Final Four or your local Little League team is headed for Williamsport, your fans will want marketing items to show their love. So, get your fanatical freak on with the Fan Flag from Gimmees. But wait. Did I say only sports-themed organizations could use this promotional product? I was wrong! Every company can get in on the action. Imagine how many people could see your message on any given day if your employees, customers, and clients start flying your flag. Why, there’s no end to the business opportunities! You’ll expand your marketing campaign far beyond your wildest dreams as these flags make their rounds. Car dealerships, healthcare organizations, retail stores, and gas stations are just a few of the other companies that could take this flag and fly it high.

| | APRIL 16, 2012 | | You Can't Screw Up with This Gadget
 A screwdriver with regular blade/Phillips blade might seem like an odd item for a giveaway. It’s not as flashy as a pen. You can’t wear it like a golf shirt or a sun visor. You’re not going to fill it daily with ice water for your boot camp class at the gym. Those statements might all be true, but I have to say, this screwdriver offers a lot of functionality. I have one of these – actually, I have several of these screwdrivers stashed throughout the house – for various purposes. I need it when I have to put new batteries in my shower radio. It comes in handy if I have to slide a door off of my laptop for cleaning. I’ve used it to tighten loose screws in the kids’ toys. I’ll even carry this screwdriver with me as a source of protection if I head out the door for a late evening power walk (hey, a girl has to keep herself safe, right?). This is a really nice giveaway for your next tradeshow. It is compact, fits in a purse or briefcase easily, has multiple functions, and the dual heads ensure that you’re never stuck with an appliance or radio that has dead batteries and a screwdriver with the wrong head.

| | APRIL 10, 2012 | | Remember the Green Movement on April 22
 Recently, I posted about Earth Hour, a simple 60 minutes with all of the gadgets turned off to turn attention towards the issue of global warming. On April 22, we celebrate Earth Day, and hopefully by choosing to recycle our newspapers and plastic bottles, turning off the lights when we leave the room, and using more eco-friendly cleaning products, our environmental cause carries on for every day of our lives. Companies can do the same by switching out incandescent light bulbs with the newer green ones that use a lot less energy and don’t give off heat. Ensure that your clients celebrate Earth Day in mid-April and every single day with Mother Earth on the acrylic paperweight, square top. It’s a great promotional item to give, an even better one to receive. Not only is it a beautiful reminder of our responsibility to care for the environment, but its placement on someone’s desk helps market your business throughout the year. Your company’s name is prominently displayed on the top of the paperweight. Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! And give gifts that remind everyone of the importance of being green, putting trash in the proper receptacles, and turning off the faucet when we are brushing our teeth.

| | APRIL 2, 2012 | | Light Up the Room at Your Next Tradeshow
 I’m a multi-tasker. I do various things, activities, and chores at once (not necessarily perfectly), because as a wife and mom, I have to. So, when I find an item that also multi-tasks, well, you know I love it. The metal survival keylight is one of those gotta have, definitely love items. It’s thin and convenient, perfect for attaching to your keys or purse. It gives off a strong beam of light, has a compass in case you are ever wandering lost in the wilderness, and offers a whistle (dark grocery store parking lots with creepy man dressed in black sweats loitering nearby, anyone?). Actually, you can use the whistle to call your kids in from outdoor play or get your husband’s attention away from ESPN. I don’t recommend using it for the latter though. Anyway, this keylight is ideal for your next tradeshow booth. You can display tons of these on the table for giveaways since they take up little room and are so compact. Your corporate name fits nicely on the side and is easily noticeable. It’s the mini survival tool complete with your name right there on it.

| | MARCH 26, 2012 | | Making a List, Checking it Twice...
 The next time you are scheduled for a tradeshow or are planning to hit the road and visit with clients, don’t leave your office without a whole slew of this product: the recycled cardboard tuck journal. I love this item, so let me count the ways! First, it’s made of recycled materials, which is a major plus when so many trees are being chopped down and animals are being displaced to make more paper products. Secondly, it is perfect for any recipient and will be used in various scenarios like to jot down notes, make grocery store lists, and take minutes at meetings. Third, it comes with its own pen, which is neatly attached to the binding. Recipients never need to pull open desk drawers in search of pens, which is a complete waste of time. Finally, it is attractive, and let’s all agree that that is an important quality in any promotional item. We want to give and receive products that look good as well as are helpful. So there you have it. A product that looks good, is a great gift, will be used often, and is nicely embossed with your logo prominently on the front.

| | MARCH 20, 2012 | | Don't Sweat this Shirt... You'll Look Fabulous in It
 There’s nothing quite like a comfy sweatshirt. And one of the best things about said comfy sweatshirt is that it is a perfect choice for any age group. Another benefit is that it is casual enough for picnics, parties, beach gatherings, cool summer evenings, and chilly fall afternoons. The Sport-Tek Pullover Hooded Sweatshirt with Stripe is really a wonderful promotional item because it’s comfy yet adds just a hint of sophistication. This is not the sweatshirt that your teenaged son wears to football practice! This shirt takes style and kicks it up a notch, so that even your executives would feel and look great wearing it. Really, this is an item that you can hand out to your employees at the company picnic or give away at a tradeshow to attendees. An array of different colors and an abundance of sizes enhance the beauty and value in this item and as always, your corporate logo or company name adds the personalization you need to get your brand out there. Whoever thought you could equate sweatshirts with style? Gimmees makes it possible!

| | MARCH 12, 2012 | | Give Mother Earth a Big Hug
 On March 31 at 8:30 PM local time, millions of people in over 100 countries will turn off their lights, power down their electronic devices, and observe one hour without energy usage in an effort to promote awareness of climate change. It’s a small thing that each of us – from toddlers to corporation presidents -- can do to show our support for the environment and our planet. Companies everywhere should promote this opportunity at reducing the carbon footprint and the usage of electronics, even if it is for one hour on a Saturday evening. Personally, I love the 20 oz white aluminum cyclist bottle because millions of plastic water bottles end up in landfills every single day. This bottle is aluminum, BPA-free, and reusable. Water tastes delicious when you drink from it – no plastic-like taste here. Plus, you can add your corporate logo and distribute it to clients, employees, or potential leads. This bottle is a great reminder of the little, yet simple steps each of us can take on a daily basis to curb global warming. You’ve got two great messages with just one simple promotional product: your corporate identity and support for the environment. Promoting your company and awareness of global warming in one gift? Where do I sign up?
