Promo Products to Keep us Focused - Video

Wednesday March 18, 2009 | Filed under:

During tough times, innovation rules as businesses discover efficient and creative ways to thrive. 

The beauty of our industry is that promoting your business during downturns is cost-effective with promotional products, and now is the time to educate your clients about the high ROI advertising specialties provide.

I mentioned earlier that my friends and I decided to take a break one weekend from the doom and gloom of the recession coverage in the media and I hosted a "Recession Calls it Quits" gathering.  We traded ideas and looked at our glasses as half-full. 

For attendees I ordered - what else? - promotional products, and I wanted to share them with you so you could see what several industry suppliers created to help make the event memorable:

  • Foxyware rhinestone wine glass - Vegas Golf (asi/87605)
  • Lip balm and hand sanitizer - SnugZ (asi/88060)
  • Light-up martini glass, and dollar sign stress ball - Jetline (asi/63344)
  • Box of imprinted chocolates - Chocolate Inn (asi/44900)

And during our recent ASI Show in New York, I found a clever bumper sticker saying "I Refuse to Participate in a Recession," from Gill Studios (asi/56950). 

Click here to watch the video with the sticker now.

I've had numerous conversations with people about what they're doing to build their business.   Tell me your ideas - post a comment now or email me.  Also, visit YouTube to watch my video of hot products from New York and share it with your clients.
