Holiday Gifts: What About You?

This is the time of year when many companies are ready to take a breather because they ordered holiday gifts early to thank their best customers for their business during the past year.

But it’s easy to forget something – namely, you. Are you planning a holiday party for employees, year-end awards or bonuses, a special seasonal item for your company store? Do you need pins and certificates? Imprinted cups, napkins and party supplies? An ornament depicting your new corporate headquarters? Embroidered fleece blankets for your top performers?

Equally important, have you inadvertently overlooked the most important people on your holiday shopping list – your employees and their families? There’s a saying that is particularly pertinent this time of year: Good businesses start with good people. Now is the ideal time to recognize the continued commitment and best efforts of your team this year.

If you haven’t yet figured out how to express your appreciation of your staff, there’s still time to make a memorable impression and we’re happy to help. First, though, you may wish to talk to your HR staff, department administrators and sales managers to ask about their business-related holiday plans. By coordinating their purchasing needs, you can save a lot of time and money and make yourself a hero in their eyes.

If you need help showing your gratitude this holiday season, give us a call at 516-935-0553 or send us an e-mail.

 
         
   
         
 

Calendars: It’s About Time…

Did you know calendars are one of the oldest promotional products, a staple of business advertising for over 150 years? The main reason for their continued popularity is that they have a specific shelf life – in other words, they’re the perfect “renewable” promotional product, mainly because people need a new calendar every year. You’d be surprised at how many people come to rely on businesses to send them a new calendar every year – they’ll even call to ask for another if they think they’ve been left off the list!

Another great thing about calendars is their diversity. They come in all shapes and sizes – wall calendars, desk calendars, date books, magnetic, erasable, virtually any kind of image or format you can think of, even calendars with space for daily or weekly messages custom-made to your specifications or detachable coupons where monthly discounts can be offered to keep traffic high.

Price-wise, they’re among the most cost-effective promotional products you can use. Considering the prominent place most calendars enjoy in the home or office, you just can’t beat the exposure you get for your investment.

Virtually any business can use calendars as an advertising tool, and with all the options you have at your disposal, calendars are the perfect way to stay in front of clients and prospects year-round. After all, having your name and ad message right there in front of them every time they look at their calendar keeps you “top-of-mind” every day.

Isn’t it about time to make a date to consider calendars for your next promotional campaign, trade show giveaway, or employee gift?

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Please call us at 516-935-0553 or send us an e-mail if there’s anything we can do to be helpful to you in the coming weeks!

With warm regards,
