Giving Thanks
There is no denying that this has been a tough year. As a young (founded in 2006) and growing promotional marketing firm, the recent economy has hit us very hard here at Quintain Marketing. I’m someone who tends to look on the bright side of things and stay upbeat, so I like to think that some good things have come out of this very difficult time.

Along with everyday purchases, you can also earn points for adding direct deposit, paying bills online, or receiving your checking account statements online. Now, I...

I don’t know about you but I hate desk clutter- I can’t focus with a million things on my desk! One of the very few accessories I do keep on my desk is a perpetual calendar- I just adore this thing! Perpetual calendars are great for people who don’t write on calendars but still like to have a calendar in front of them (like me- HELLO BlackBerry Calendar) plus I can’t fit my plans/appointments/birthdays into those tiny blocks anyway! Unlike the usual 12 month calendar, the perpetual calendar lasts forever. So if you order perpetual calendars your client or prospects will be looking at...
