It took 17 million barrels of oil to produce them-thats not including transportation.*

Considering it was my birthday yesterday and I am still focusing on my young childish side, today’s item brings a lighter side to the corporate world.




These are paper hand puppets that include a stock body outfit and a customizable head.
Paper hand puppets include business suits, sports uniforms, brides and grooms, and much more. Puppets are digitally printed in full color. Drop in a photo to our stock artwork and personalize this promotion to your company.
This item is perfect for introducing a new person to management, celebrating an employee’s recognition, event giveaways, or any fun event that you want people to really let loose and have fun. One of my clients used a custom template and created their CEO wearing a Santa Clause hat when the holidays came around, they were a hit at the office and people still have them up in their cubicles almost a year later!
To create your own customized hand puppets, please email me at karen.silvers@promomarketingexpert.com.

Today, the Senate Appropriations Committee will meet to discuss the Plastic Bag Ban in CA.

“This bill will eliminate the distribution of approximately 19 billion plastic bags in California by prohibiting grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores and similar stores from distributing single-use plastic bags… It will conserve paper resources by requiring retailers sell recycled content paper bags.”
This bill introduces a great reason to be ahead of the game! Now is a great time to get your eco-friendly and reusable tote bags for your company, employees, and customers. And while you’re at it, make sure you brand your company logo and contact information on them as well, because you know they will be used frequently! Here are a few of my favorite eco-tote bags perfect for grocery shopping, traveling, or carrying stuff.

12″w x 8″d x 13″h Grocery Tote. Only $1.65 each (min. qty required)

100% Recycled Tote $3.98 (min qty required)


Foldable Eco-Tote, $1.68 (min. qty required)

For more detailed information regarding this bill please visit: http://www.cawrecycles.org/issues/current_legislation/ab1998_10
AB 1998 will eliminate the distribution of approximately 19 billion plastic bags in California by prohibiting grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores and similar stores from distributing single-use plastic bags. Plastic bags are a primary component of urban litter pollution and marine litter pollution. Single-use plastic bags are a problem product because they are light, aerodynamic and are littered at a high rate. Once littered, plastic bags travel through the environment, ultimately ending up in the ocean and joining giant “garbage patches” circulating in ocean vortices. In the North Pacific Gyre North of Hawaii, for example, plastic litter originating from California and elsewhere in the North Pacific Rim outweighs plankton by up to 46 times! Government, especially city and county government, incurs significant costs to clean up plastic bag litter. And California families are unknowingly paying these costs in the form of higher fees and taxes, in addition to higher grocery costs to pay for the “free” single-use bags they receive at the store. AB 1998 will encourage reusable bag use (read what Consumer Reports has to say about plastic industry propaganda regarding reusable bags). AB 1998 bill will also conserve paper resources by requiring retailers sell recycled content paper bags.

Today’s item is really neat because it is fun and it’s a great conversation starter.

This is an LED Scrolling name badge that pins onto any shirt, just like a regular badge.

The badge itself is fully customizable and great for full color process!

This item comes with a rechargeable battery that is guaranteed for 2 years. So there are no ”additional” batteries to buy for 2 years. The Badge also comes with a proprietary software program to load the messages onto the badge through a computer. Up to 200 badges can be programmed at the same time using a chain of multiport USB hubs. Each badge also includes the connecting USB cable so there are no accessories to buy to work it every day. It is ready to use, right out of the box.
