March 9th, 2010

I regularly promote projects and case histories that I have done on my blog. But I am not embarrassed to say I did not come up the the following promo items but I really wish I did because they are AWESOME! Even though I didn’t create these, doesn’t mean I can’t create them for you or your business though. :-) Shoot me an email if you would like me to create any of these for you!

Sports-Branded

March 8th, 2010

Today’s item is very original and fun, and I thought what the heck-this could be a really cool idea for any sports themed promotions or teams.

Can you guess what it is?

It is a branded eye-black for players and their fans.

But do they really work? YES!! Eyeblack has been used for centuries to help reduce the glare of the sun. Today Branded Eye Blacks have taken this product to the next level. Using 3M medical grade tape (latex free), adhesives and your logo, we can produce for you, eyeblack that not only helps to reduce glare, but looks great too. Great for athletes and fans.

Create a larger logo image in the center of the eye black, or a more subtle corner eye black.

Or how about a clear eye black? These are fun sticker items for a fan at any age!

Contact me today for more information and to purchase these eye blacks for your company. Karen.silvers@promomarketingexpert.com

The CaterPlate….

March 5th, 2010

Today’s item is an innovative and useful idea for anyone who plans or hosts large-scale events where food and wine is served. The CaterPlate is a clear plastic plate with a built-in wineglass holder AND re-attachable plastic utensils:

Your guests will love these plates because they can easily hold their plate, utensils and wineglass with one hand, leaving the other one free to select their food or shake the hands of other guests. You’ll love them because they look sharp and professional with your custom logo – plus they stack flat and eliminate the need for messy piles of plastic eating utensils at your event.

The CaterPlate is Great For:

Convention Centers
Wedding & Event Planners
Hotels
Charity Events
Chambers of Commerce
Corporate Hospitality
Caterers
Theme Parks
Company Picnics

The CaterPlate is available with custom logo at quantities of 50 or more. It’s MADE and PRINTED IN THE USA. The CaterPlate can be custom printed with up to 5 colors. There is no extra charge for metallic, neon or Pantone-matched inks. Made of #6 Polystyrene plastic, the CaterPlate is also recyclable.

Sticker Promotions

March 3rd, 2010

Stickers are not just for kids anymore! Stickers can be used in a number of ways to promote a message, brand, or logo. All it takes is a little creativity, permission to post them, and a great distributor to print your items! These are my favorite ways that stickers have been used as a promotion. Which one is your favorite?

Food Tray Sticker

Fun stickers were placed on meal trays on-board selected Malaysia Airlines flights making the captive audience “feel” their next holiday.

Surfboard Sticker

Cool surfboard shaped floor stickers were placed on moving walkways to promote Demolicion extreme sport magazine.

Sumo Wrestler Sticker

Life-sized stickers of a sumo wrestler were placed on doors in Bangkok to demonstrate that Meiji milk makes you stronger.

Beer Door Handle Sticker

Creative beer mug stickers were installed behind doors of restaurants and shops as a part of Tyskie beer advertising campaign.

Apple Store Window Sticker

This creative sticker was placed on the storefront window to promote the power of iPod HiFi.

Zoo Safari Sticker

These stickers were placed on the windshield of parked cars to make the visitor imagine what it would feel like to be so close to a wild animal.

But How BIG Of A Fan Are You?

February 26th, 2010

What is your favorite sports team? It could be major league, minor league, or your kid’s school team. Either way, think of your favorite team and how far you would go to supporting them.

Are you such a big fan that you would wear one of these at the games?

This is an alternative version to the foam finger, butd it’s even bigger and better.

Here I am modeling the foam fist for you. This is actually an insulated foam beverage or sports drink holder that fits left or right hand.

These Foam hands would be a great item for fans in any sport! Great for tailgating, after parties, and everyday fun.
