I know it’s only the end of February but it is never too to start thinking about summer vacation! Whether you are traveling by car, bus, train, or plane- you want your luggage to be durable, functional, and (perhaps) fashionable. High-quality luggage makes great gifts for traveling sales staff or senior executives.

The Frequent Traveler by Tumi is the ideal luggage for a business traveler. It’s a wheeled carry-on that expands by 2.5” and has a removable garment sleeve that holds up to three suits-plus it fits perfectly into most overhead compartments. It’s available in brown or black, we can even have the luggage monogrammed.

When I first spotted Pop Artist Romero Britto’s luggage collection in a magazine last year I just had to have it. If you adore the bold patterns and colors of Pop Art then this luggage is for you. Now I know Romero Britto’s luggage collection certainly isn’t for everyone—we can’t all be trendy and fabulous! However, I do anyone who owns this colorful luggage has no problem finding it in a sea of black at airport carousels. Plus this luggage isn’t only fun to look at, its light weight and durable.

We also love luggage and bags by OGIO because let’s face it- they are designed with Pro-Action sports figures in-mind so if the bags hold up for them- they’ll certainly hold up for any traveling sales exec.

Not too long ago buying laminated non-woven totes for a promotion was really limited to those buying large quantities (1K plus). If you’re not sure what I mean about “laminated non-woven totes” – think Trader Joe’s reusable grocery bags. Aside from being laminated and free-standing, laminated bags are your basic non-woven grocery bag. I’ve also heard some people prefer the laminated bag for cold groceries incase any of their goods “sweat” or melt on the drive home from the market. From a marketing standpoint, laminated totes open up decorating options, 1 color, 2 color, 4 color-the choice is yours. Like regular nonwoven totes, laminated totes are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Plus with all of the options, your end user will not only be limited to using the totes at the grocery store. You can purchase the smaller totes and put your brochures in them for potential clients, they can in-turn reuse the bag as a lunch tote. One of the larger totes can double as a grocery bag and library books bag. Give us a call and we will help you find the right laminated tote for your promotion!

Believe it or not spring is just around the corner!

Consider doing a spring promotion to help raise morale or introduce a new service to customers. You don’t have to spend a lot of money for a successful promotion.

Check out the flexi-vase from Prime Line. The flexi-vase is the ideal replacement for expensive cases and is perfect for hospitals, nursing homes, florists, real estate, restaurants, and cruise lines. It folds flat so it is perfect for mailings.

This set includes one 6″ bamboo shoot, 3″ 100% biodegradable bamboo fiber pot, and 1 lb. of assorted-color polished rock filler. This item will not be available for sale until March 15th due to the seasonality of the plant.

There’s nothing more annoying than gathering a long cord or rope only to have it unravel. Plus I don’t know about you but I hate the tangled mess of cords and wires behind my television and DVD player. The little velcro strap attached to the cords never stays in place or is long enough to gather all of the extra cord! I recently came across an answer to all my tangled messes: the Cable Clamp®.
The Cable Clamp is an innovative and easy-to-use cord management and organizational tool which is superior to tape, cable ties, and hook & loop products. The Cable Clamp is reusable and can be easily opened and closed with one hand utilizing its unique Quick Connect…Quick Release feature. Constructed with durable polymers and stainless steel, it features self-aligning, self-adjusting, and self-locking technologies. The Cable Clamp is available in three convenient sizes: small, medium, and large, all are designed to accommodate a wide array of applications, including organizing standard desktop computer wiring to bundling extension cords as long as 100’. They’re available in a variety of different colors and can be decorated with your company logo.
The Cable Clamp would make a great promotional product for home improvement/construction stores and companies, landscaping companies, computer repair/IT companies, mechanics.
