Customized Lip Balm

I'm back. Took some time away from the promo gig to hit the slopes with my family.  Great time, great company, great weather, great Vermont ski area ~ Killington.  Environmentally friendly mountain too don't you know!  They work hard to balance their growth while taking care of the environment.  "Beyond compliance" is the term they use.  It's great how they recycle their own water. Up to 35,000 gallons per day during peak seasonal periods, which adds up to over 2.5 million gallons annually.  They have also invested big bucks to retrofit 10 of the resort's walk-in coolers with a refrigeration system that taps into the best source of refrigeration there is...winter.  Isn't it funny how sometimes the smartest move is right in front of us?  For sure we're going to see more and more people utilizing nature for what has become life's necessities.  I believe, in the past, we were always thinking better, quicker,faster creating more efforts and not taking energy into consideration. I mean I still love my speedy technology and gadgets which helps me to keep up with fast life ~ can't live without my Blackberry, but it feels good that so many of us are aware now and thinking smaller packaging, use less, natural energy, reuse, etc... 

So while it's fresh on my mind (From hanging out on top of a mountain in 19 degree weather) let's talk about a favorite promotional product everyone loves to get: Lip Balm. There is a new style out where your logo goes on the full customizable cap which covers the entire stick.  There is a bonus dome location on the top that you can decorate too. Gives what would normally be considered "Oh just another Chapstick" the "Ooooh, nice one!" factor.   Just the response you want when you hand out a promotional piece with your logo on it.  It has an SPF of 20 and comes in 7 different funky colors.  I also like the natural soy lip balm style with the standard small cap. The container is clear, which gives it an added something, a contemporary feel.  It's petroleum free and you have the option of getting an SPF of 20 or 30.  The clean design holds shea butter, cocoa butter, sunflower oil, aloe vera and vitamin E formula.  Cute right?  Good idea give away healthy,useful and cool.
