New Eco Desk Accessories

Here is a new eco-friendly idea for a business giveaway that screams natural. It's a business card holder created from 100% recycled cardboard.  You can have your logo customized on the small top centered front panel.  It also has, debossed into each piece, the universal recycled symbol. I like how it easily collapses too, makes for a great light weight mailer. 

Or how about its little cousin the 100% recycled cardboard mouse pad?  Both are easily under $5.00 with a logo, useful and they clearly say eco-friendly branding. 

Did you see the new mouse pads created from recycled rubber tires?

I love those.  I always wonder what will become of all those tires you see on the side of the road piled up.  What could be done with them to make them useful?  I've come across a couple small items that may help us to utilize those old tires, logo jar openers and mouse pads.  We're getting there.

Nest your Brand

 

You all know the bobble head dolls, created from resin plastic in the likeness of popular sport players, political players, television stars, singers, etc...    I didn't know this, but these are believed to date back to 1842.  Around 1950 the first modern bobble heads started to appear in the United States.  The process was a bit limited though.  The dolls all came out with the same faces and body style.  It kicked up a bit in 1960 with them being produced for some of the players in the World Series.  They were the first player-specific baseball bobble heads.  

 Things sure have evolved.  

Here is a new style figure we can "corporate" customize.  Nesting Figures or Nesting dolls ~ like the Russian Matryoshka doll.  Nescafe did the one below to introduce a new line of products. 

 

As you can see, non-traditional shapes can be done. I think they would be a big hit. Again, here I go with the value of giving away the unexpected.  Check out the traditional shape with a not so traditional look.

It's great when a company has the ability and the dough to produce a fun logo product. Clever promotional products, that capture the unexpected, make people smile.  Smiling is good. One promo product that is still one of my favorites is the logo stress sumo wrestler.  He's simple, happy, makes me feel good.  Don't know why.  I like the Hula dancer too, she's fun.

I found a new one I like.  Maybe not as funny, but with imagination, it can be.  It got me with the unexpected factor.  You know those hazard signs you see on the floor in public places?

 

We have these now desk size.  They are 3" wide and about 5" tall, made of that same heavy weight plastic you see the commercial signs made of and you can completely customize both sides. 

You could really have some fun with your employees or your clients.  Come up with lines ...like:  Caution: Hackers at work, BEWARE of Programmers That Carry Screwdrivers  You could even just use a warning that is commonly used outside but not expected in a say a ...cubicle: Caution: Personal Protective Equipment Required Beyond This Point  Or how about a funny warning hash tag:

There are standard templates available too.  The imprint area is 2.5" x 3.5".  I would want one. I once heard an expression "A person's desk is like high priced real estate".  You have to be good to warrant space on it for your logo product.  I think done right, this would get space.

You know what else is good?  They are really easy to mail too.  That's always a great way to get peoples first time attention.  This one is worthy.  What do you think, like it?

Promotional buying is down.  I don't care what anybody says, they can paint all the happy pictures they want...every body is still cutting back.  They have to. 

Who would think a McDonald's commercial could make me so happy?  I smiled last night to see a commercial by McDonald's featuring a new Coca Cola collector's glass.

How cool I thought, two of the world's brightest brand icons get it.  Desirable logo giveaways will get people in the door, will make them feel good, will help relay good long-lasting feelings toward your brand. Coke did a great job with the glass design and offering a different color a week, making them a collector's item.  Really smart. 

I remember going to mickey dees when I was little.  The first time my Mom let me graduate from the cheeseburger to the Big Mac.  I was so happy. McDonald's and coke have been doing their thing since 1955, know what's really sad? I think there was a time that McDonald's glasses were the only glasses we had in the house. 

I'm going to McDonald's tomorrow, get my glass and do a little silent toast to promotional marketing at it's finest.

Union Made USA Giveaway Ideas

A simple promotional idea that helps save jobs and at the same time gives a little shot to the economy.

It's USA all the way.  The coffee is grown in Hawaii (I could use Hawaii 'bout now) and produced by Union hands.  The packaging is done by Union employees.  We can create a giveaway using this sleek designed coffee tumbler, also made in the USA by Union workers.  There are three different Unions benefiting from this USA Promotional gift pack.  If you're thinking more of a Union made desk item, we can do a coffee mug that was made in the USA too.

 

All good stuff and very popular right now.  If I was going to pick which coffee mug to use, which t-shirt to wear, which bag to carry....I'm going USA all the way.

Unusual New Promotional Products

I found some new promotional ideas this morning, they're pretty neat. The water bottle is made in the USA, which you know we love.  It's created from biodegradable plastic. Another plus for this product, since it works really well for kid's promotions, all the inks are Non-toxic, Class 6 Certified and they comply with European EN 71 toy safety standards.  Look it has a matching cousin ~ a notebook sweatshirt

Need to turn on nurses or doctors? (You know what I mean) check out the notebook scrub for a new health care promotional idea

Ahhhhh, New promotional giveaway ideas...freshness being breathed into our branding world ~ it's a start...feels good.
