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.

Keep Those Important Cards Tucked Away

A promotional gift should not just be something that you give away to your clients, customers, prospects, and leads. It should definitely be a product that you would want to keep for yourself. That item should even be something that your clients and prospects see you actually using. When I saw the Pedova Card Wallet, I immediately thought that this would be an ideal gift for you to use at the next tradeshow you attend, but it’s also terrific for you to be putting into your pocket, too. Those business cards that prospects hand over to you at the table? Put them in this wallet alongside your credit cards and driver’s license. There’s even a spot to tuck away some cash. I like this item because it’s not bulky, but the sleek design looks professional and it keeps everything neatly together. Here’s a suggestion. Put your business cards in the wallets and then hand them out to your clients and prospective customers. They will already have all the information they need to get in touch with you. Place your order for these wallets today and consider your next business deal closed.

Sharpen Your Focus with This Promotional Item

We like to think we are so technologically advanced that we don’t need the basics. Goodbye answering machine, because my smartphone saves my missed calls. There’s no need to drive around aimlessly looking for that new doctor’s office because your car’s GPS will tell you where to turn right. Lugging a book with you while you sit in the waiting room is no more since that new novel is downloaded to your tablet and the latest movie is streaming. You get the picture. But we still need the basics in our lives. You can say you don’t need them but you do. Sometimes it’s nice just to hold a real book and read. Sometimes it’s great to sit down and do a crossword puzzle from a newspaper. In spite of all the high-tech goodies we have in our lives, we still need the simple ones like the dual tool pencil and crayon sharpener. Kids will always need their crayons sharpened – sure they can color online pictures with a laptop, but nothing beats crayons and a coloring book. When doing that crossword puzzle, a sharpened pencil is a must. Let Gimmees put your logo on this pencil sharpener. It’s a wonderful giveaway for your next event or tradeshow.

Pen and Paper, Pure and Simple

Although smartphones and tablet computers make it super easy to keep us informed of things, I’m a bit of a purist (and a bit old-fashioned, too, I suppose) because I tend to write myself a lot of notes. Sure, it’s easy to “jot” something down on your phone or computer but in my opinion it’s easier for me to have a piece of paper in hand with my shopping list at the grocery store or to write someone’s number down and keep it by the house phone. I like the StyleWrite Sticky Note Pad/Pen Holder for these reasons but also for another very important one: this is a “green” product. That means it is biodegradable and isn’t harmful to the environment. It looks great in an office, on a desk at home, next to your fridge, by the phone, even in the glove compartment of your car. It will even look terrific on your next tradeshow table or at your latest seminar or conference. I’m a fan and I know you’ll be a fan of this product, too. It’s not a pricey item, but it is compact and perfect to give to a customer.
