It’s Almost Here–Get Set For Summer!

I know it’s technically not summer yet, but Memorial Day weekend seems to be the official kick-off for cookouts, vacations, and all-around fun in the sun. Take a look at some of our favorite promotional products for this time of year: Item 9353, Cooler with CD/MP3 Player and Radio: Nothing says summer like taking some [...]

Happy Mother’s Day…I Got You A Pen!

Like everyone else, I received a ton of marketing emails this week reminding me that I had mere days left to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift. One came in this morning that left me scratching my head. It was from an office supply store, and it offered a coupon so I could save on [...]

InkHead’s Top 10 Eco-Friendly Promotional Products for Earth Day 2010

Earth Day is April 22nd, and it’s amazing how widespread the “green” movement has become over the last couple of years. Reusable shopping bags used to be confined to the natural food store crowd, and now they’re on the verge of being the norm for everyone–with some stores even offering discounts to customers who bring [...]

Newcastle “Your Beer. Your Label.” Promotion

In the last post, we established that there’s more to the world of promotional products than you may have previously thought. Now let’s take a look at some ways in which they are used. The most common use of a promotional product is to simply put your name in the hands of a client or [...]

Promotional Products Defined: Part 1

Promotional Products. Ad Specialties. Premiums. Giveaways. Incentives. Freebies. Swag. Tchotchkes. Whenever I tell people that I work for an online promotional products distributor, the response is usually a blank stare. No one’s ever nodded and said, “Oh, right. I’ve heard of those!” I generally follow up with, “You know. Pens and coffee mugs imprinted with [...]
