Flexibility is one of the key features of promotion products. They can work within different budgets and as part of many types of programs, and can be given to any audience.

The benefits of promotion products as marketing tools are well established. Studies have proven time and time again that promotional items increase response rates, boost brand recognition, and create more favorable impressions of your company.

Pricing for promotional merchandise varies enormously depending on what items you choose. Prices can range from under a dollar per item to $100 or more. Knowing the price per item that you're budgeting for will help you narrow down your choices to a manageable range.

“The holidays can bring all kinds of stressful situations, but your corporate gifts shouldn't be one of them. Keep these corporate holiday gift tips in mind and you'll soar through the season, knowing your gifts will be the talk of every client.”

every company wants to put their best foot, or rather gift, forward. Follow these golden rules of corporate holiday gifting to help make your job easier and get your holiday gifts noticed.

Plan ahead – Want to save yourself a lot of stress? Plan your holiday gifts before the rush. The most impressive gifts can be the first to sell out. Order early and you'll be ahead of the game.

Get organized – You can use several methods to bring order to your list. Organize recipients by budget, individual and value to your company.

Avoid gender based incentives – Gone are the days that girls are expected to like dolls and boys must settle for trucks. For employees, clients, and associates, choose gifts that are appropriate regardless of gender.

Select premiums with a high perceived value – While gift cards will always have a time and a place, avoid holiday gifts that carry a built in “price tag.”

Instead, represent your company with impressive gifts that convey class and allow promoting your company logo and message.

Premiums are great tools to generate name recognition and create customer or employee goodwill, often at very little cost.

Almost any business can benefit from the right promotional product, but you need to get the right item for the right price. One of our Account Executives will introduce you to the process of selecting and buying the right promotional products for your business this holiday season.

Promotional products have a value far beyond their cost. This is particularly true when they become something the recipient

Holiday Premium Buying Tips

Avoid the rush. If possible, give yourself at least three weeks from start to finish ensuring the smooth production of your promo products – more for very large or highly customized orders.

Choose your item carefully. Don't choose your promo product based on the latest trend, or on the rock-bottom price. The right item will have value to your target audience and help you achieve the results you want.

It's a fitting subject for the end of an extremely wasteful century. Yet one of the most remarkable things about the Green Rush is that, for the most part, the movement has been consumer-driven. Which is not to say that most companies haven't jumped on the green bandwagon: Dozens of companies came out with their vision and goals establishing init iatives covering the environment and related issues. Others have developed programs within their own corporate environs.

However, if today's concern for the environment is not to go the way of hula-hoops and smiley faces, the media must continue its coverage. Consumers, as we all know, are fickle. The media have to keep fanning the public's interest without blowing out the flame.

Besides, the simple fact remains that business and industry cannot continue to operate in a wasteful, irresponsible way. Too often, the corporate way of life has been to consider the bottom line and to hell with everything else. Now, businesses are finding they must be ready to answer their critics. It's easy to say, "We've always done it this way,” but that's no longer sufficient.

It helps that the environment is popular with everyone. No company is going to say, "I'm against. the earth." Remembering that is an important weapon in the face of reticence. Newsweek surveyed its subscribers and found that four out of five are influenced by, a manufacturer's record on the environment when purchasing a product. 94 percent of Newsweek's nearly three million readers consider themselves environmentalists

It is time for the Corporate Canada to embrace the motives and methods of an environmentally responsible industry. There are choices to be made, tradeoffs to consider. Economics is going to play a big part in a company's decision to be environmentally conscious, if there's no economic incentive, environmental issues could be put on the back burner. Companies want the cheapest, not only the cleanest.

There are many ways to be environmentally consensus without adding the cost. Simply switching your company's stationary paper or corporate brochure to a recycled stock would make a huge impact. Please see the statistics below.
