No Glass, but Lots of Class

The 12 Ounce Vinello Stemless Wine Glass is a product I want to highlight today for a variety of reasons. It’s made of plastic and doesn’t have a stem. Seems weird, doesn’t it? It really isn’t, because plastic and stemless means there is no risk to an accidental drop that results in broken glass all over the floor (i.e. a super messy and dangerous cleanup). But this wine glass works great at your next corporate event or party where wine or sparkling beverages will be sold. Are you in the catering or restaurant business? If so, these glasses are great for those shows where you need to demonstrate your capabilities and talents for parties, weddings, and other types of entertaining.  These plastic glasses are also top dishwasher safe so that you can reuse them – however, I recommend you give them out to your attendees so that they have a promotional item to take home. They come in several different colors to match with your corporate logo. I recommend you purchase these for the next event that you’ll be participating in. Did I mention that they are priced perfectly for the budget conscious? Well, they are, and that’s just one more reason that they are a great item.

I Need a Place to Rest My Weary Head.... I Mean My Weary Body

If you’ve ever attended an outdoor event like a concert or a Little League baseball game or even just headed to the beach or local lake for a day of much-needed R&R there’s a really good chance that you’ve seen not just one but many people with their own beach chairs. These chairs are great because they fold up nicely to stow away in a trunk or garage when not in use, but are super comfy, easy to carry, and can hold up to 300 pounds. Here’s a great feature – the head pillow – that makes this chair a bit different from many of the other ones on the market. Don’t forget, Gimmees will customize this chair for you. Pick your color (there are three to choose from) and add your logo to make this an ideal giveaway or promotional item for your clients and customers. My suggestion is that you make this a giveaway at your next tradeshow – collect business cards from potential leads and then draw one hourly to win this great beach chair. It’s a fun way to draw in new business opportunities while giving out something with your company’s name on it.

Playing It Safe (for Your Smartphone)

Most of us will be heading to the beach, the lake, the pool or some other water-laced area this summer. What will we bring with us? Sunscreen of course, towels, a snack or two, and our smartphones. Are you going to just toss your BlackBerry, iPhone, or other phone into a beach bag? Probably. But you’re making a big mistake. Sun, heat, and water can cause major damage to your device, and who wants to spend a sunny summer day at the phone store dealing with lousy customer service in an attempt to replace your link to the world? Certainly not me and surely not you either. Allow me to introduce you to the Gemma smartphone holder w/pouch. No more risk of water or sun damage because now your smartphone is safe. Oh, and did I mention that the pouch also has a zippered change pocket? Well, consider yourself told. Now, isn’t this a great promo item to hand out at your springtime tradeshow or corporate event? I think it is so that’s why I’m introducing you to it. I highly recommend you place your order today before all of your competitors do so. We can all use one of these pouches!

You Can Ring My Bell

Let’s make some noise! If it’s noisy you need, noisy we got! The Ring-A-Ling Cowbell will really show off your team spirit whether it’s for a big game or some good corporate fun. These cowbells -- and they aren’t just for cows anymore -- really make an event exciting and fun for all those in attendance. Your team’s fans will love to ring these bells to get fired up and show their support but I want to point out that they aren’t just for schools and the sports industry. The next corporate picnic, vendor fair, convention, or conference can also be a great setting for these cowbells. Wouldn’t they be perfect in goodie bags to hand out to new leads, potential customers, and possible clients? Won’t they be a fun addition to your next party? I recently had the chance to use one of these at a local sporting event, and it made the atmosphere much, much livelier. Gimmees offers these cowbells in five different colors and they can be imprinted with your corporate name, team’s logo, or Web site address. Call us or visit our Web site today to place your order – we can get it to you by tomorrow!

Pitch Your Tent Today!

With springtime here, various events and gatherings will be taking place. While anytime is a great time to look for new business opportunities, now is when you’re packing up promo items and marketing collateral to take to tradeshows, conventions, and conferences. Here’s something you shouldn’t leave the office without when heading to your next tradeshow: table tents. These are amazing because they sit on a table, take up little room, and easily promote your products and services. These tents work for any industry and any business – large or small. What I like so much about these table tents is that they prop up so the information on them is clearly visible, even from a distance away. Don’t go to another event without these in hand. After the show is over, the tents can still be utilized – on tables in your reception area, in the cafeteria, or in any other widely used spot in your building or office. Gimmees is here to handle your order and get you ready for all of your upcoming shows and events. Call us today or visit our Web site to find out how easy it is to order from us!

It Doesn't Get Any Easier than This to Promote Your Biz

As a writer, I usually have a pen in hand jotting down ideas, lists, suggestions, and notes to myself. Last night while out to dinner with my kids and spouse, my son and I discussed a project he needed help with. The ideas were pouring from my brain as quickly raindrops in a hurricane, but I had no means to write them down. That’s what gave me the idea for today’s post. The BIC Clic Stic Pen is an inexpensive tool that writes beautifully and promotes any business. Some promotional items are geared towards specific industries, but not this one. Medical, banking, insurance, education, government, health and fitness, recreation, and the list goes on – all are perfect fits for this retractable pen. Gimmees has multiple color schemes so that you can pick the ones that match your business colors. These pens are priced right and are the ideal giveaway at your next meeting, event, tradeshow, or conference. Get your name out there. Choose an item that everyone can and will use. It’s simple. Let Gimmees show you how. Call us now to place your order. Let’s get writing and promoting!

I Could Use a Little Light in Here

Come on, baby, light my fire. When Jim Morrison and the Doors sang those famous words for the first time years ago, I doubt they ever imagined that they would be used for a blog post. But seriously folks, light my fire or someone else’s. You might need to do so should your power go out or for chilly nights when a little spark will simply add ambience to your living room. Everyone loves a candle, and Gimmees has the candle mug, which I personally think is a terrific way to show your corporate brand to many. Lots of companies give out mugs, but give candle mugs to attendees at the next tradeshow you’re demonstrating at or hand these out each time you visit a customer. It’s a giveaway that’s a little bit different but still familiar. You’re always on display – or rather, your company name will be. Now think about it… don’t you want to make sure your clients and potential customers light your fire often? A candle mug is the way to do that. Your brand all lit up.

Time to Towel Off

Business people like to golf. It’s a known fact. Why business people feel the need to swing clubs together is another story. Why don’t they play touch football? Or go ice skating at a local rink en masse? Why not fly kites on the beach? Well, whatever the reason, we might never truly know. But golf is a good pastime to chat up business, spend time getting to know other people, and keeping your cool under (a little) pressure. In an earlier blog post, I talked about how golf foursomes are a good way to promote your business, and now that the spring has moved in, the weather is perfect to talk shop on the green. Don’t lose your cool either. Gimmees has a great golf towel for you and your fellow players to use. Wipe your brow with this one! I think this is an ideal giveaway for any industry – travel, entertainment, IT, insurance, automotive, and various others – because so many people love to golf and enjoy spending time on the course. Plus, it’s perfect for nearly any demographic and can be given to customers, potential clients, and partners. You know you want these towels for your golfing enthusiasts!

Walking Billboards for Your Business

I have a terrific marketing item idea for you and when I tell you what it is, you’re probably going to chuckle. But wait, before I mention this product, think about this. Your company’s name on thousands of billboards at one time. Thousands wearing your name. Thousands more seeing your name. Everywhere you turn your head, you see that name. Men. Women. Children. People of all ages can spot your company’s name. It sticks with them even when they aren’t seeing it. Now, let me give you another piece of information to think about. This is not a pricey ad specialty that is going to run you into the poorhouse. So, let’s get this straight – a great product that gets my name across to the masses, yet doesn’t cost me an arm and leg? Yes, please! Where do I order? You can place your order at Gimmees.com and you’ll order the rally disposable poncho. Are you laughing? Don’t. This poncho is inexpensive and effective. Imagine thousands of excited fans wearing this product emblazoned with your name. Walking advertisements for YOU. Dry clothing for them. Now, don’t you think you need to place your order?

Who's Got Ice Cream?

Although it’s not summertime yet, I like to think ahead. So, I’m taking this opportunity to think ahead for your business and potential new customers. You always have to think of your future business opportunities, even when you’re busy with today’s workload. But if you don’t plan ahead, you won’t have any future business. Take the ice cream scoop-it. Wouldn’t this be a wonderful giveaway at your summertime events? You could include it in goodie bags at a tradeshow, use it to dish up frozen delight at your corporate barbecue in August, and give these out at your next business meeting or tradeshow. Sure, this scoop is great for those in the food service industry or someone who owns an ice cream parlor, obviously. But what if you aren’t in food service? What if you offer software services, sell insurance, provide office supplies? What’s to say that you can’t give an ice cream scoop out as a freebie to your customers and leads? Pair this up with another item and it becomes a whimsical yet unforgettable promotional gift. It’s fun and perfect for the heat-filled months of summer. And one thing is certain – no one will ever forget the rep who handed him a corporate-emblazoned ice cream scoop.
