PROMOTION COMMOTION

Hottest Promotional Product ~ Hand Sanitizers

What's HOT?  These are the most requested promo items in the market these days.

I particularly like these credit card shaped ones which aren't bulky [new in the market, too].

With all the viruses going around in confined spaces ~ H1N1, the flu and whatever else we have to build a resistance too, it is always safe to have these handy.  Most of these can be refilled, so your ad dollars are stretched to the max.  Excellent for conventions, tradeshows, seminars and other group activities where a lot of hand shaking will have to take place.

All custom branded and available within 24 hours from art approval. 

As always, contact us at salesATwebbmarDOTcom to discuss what will work well for your event and your budget. 

Custom Mini Tissues

Custom mini tissues have a huge place in today's health environment. And branding them may prove to be quite a visible campaign.  This promotional item is totally custom ~ packaging and contents.  Wet or dry tissues are available. Additionally, you can choose from 12 different tissue 'formulas'.

Minitubes are 3 1/4" x 2" and contain 30 wet or dry tissues in each tube.  Fully customized CMYK label, resealable pop up dispenser and ball chain included.

Mighty powerful and currently SMART promotional item for as low as $2.00 each.  Contact ThePromoMarketer to avail of the NEXT COLUMN PRICING offer!

We have received  inquiries from visits to our WEBSITE for unique promotional gifts that are timely and useful for a health related event.  Here are just a few of our suggestions which we'd like to share with you.

Many of us (especially those who will be traveling) are quite concerned with the current swine flu pandemic and warnings associated with the strain.  We experienced this worry ourselves as we traveled back to the Bay Area and several people on our flight were, in fact, wearing disposable face masks.

We seem to be the go-to distributor for questions, requests for samples and orders for safe promotional sports bottles. We now are receiving unsolicited samples for all kinds of bottles for us to review before they are available to the mass market!  Thanks to all of you who continue to insist on safe products and for your efforts to change the water-bottle habits of those around you.  Together we can encourage REUSABLE water bottles and save our landfills!

Walk for Health - Count Your Steps & Blessings

On a recent trip to New York, where we did a LOT of walking, I oftentimes wished I had a pedometer to count how far we walked each day.  We easily could have taken more than 10,000 steps in one way in that busy city! 

A pedometer combined with a calorie counter is one of the more sought after promotional gifts especially for corporations who want to encourage healthy lifestyle - for employees and valued clientele.

Featured here is a new style available in the four colors above.  It features a black rubberized case with bold color accents.  It includes a calorie counter, step counts in miles/km, AM/PM time display, a stopwatch.  Also includes a convenient build-in clip.  Batteries are included.

Blend For Kids - in Branford, CT

Today, in Branford, Connecticut I was introduced to this really amazing business called BLEND FOR KIDS, a wonderful place for children to experience the benefits of artful imagination, creativity, yoga and children's massage therapy with their parents.    I went with my sister-in-law and her two children today.  If you live close to this area and are looking for a wonderful, physically and mentally exhilirating experience for your child, this is a place to check out.  It's an exceptional place - a world far away from technology and video contraptions. Check out their schedule, pry your young children away from the television, drop your children off, and spend a couple hours with your spouse (or alone with your own inner self).

BLEND FOR KIDS is  place where young children can release their inner energy and thereafter experience the combined benefits of arts and craft time, children's yoga and massage.  All these are catered to the child's level of understanding and threshold.  The massage therapy is taught to and performed by a parent. 

BLEND FOR KIDS is a refreshingly new experience and a must to check out! They are located at 1120 Main Street, in Branford, CT.  Say hello to Daniella  *you will love her* and mention that this blog sent you over!  We just think her business is so special!

Physically Fit - Strengthening Bands

While I was on the subject of health and fitness - here are some of the things that help me stay physically fit and feeling good.  This is a great employee motivation gift and some of it can be done in the privacy of cubicles and workstations during the day.  These exercises - Pilates at Work -  can be done alone or in groups to promote camaraderie and fun.  Priced from $6.50 to $40 depending on quantities.  The resulting fitness and health achieved will be priceless.  Contact us for more At Work Fitness equipment.

Heath and Wellness - We Sometimes Forget

I had been feeling achey and sluggish the last few months but I chalked that off to just a natural path of life (aka 'aging') - or being too busy.  The other day, I started taking my supplements again - morning and night.

This morning I'm completely ache-free and feel AMAZING.  I was preparing to take my supplements but accidentally dropped one of them in my cup of water - only to watch how fast it was 'melting'. That's how fast my body will absorb it.  I decided to experiment a little bit and dropped a multi-vitamin (store brand) in the same cup of water and it's been 20 minutes...still whole. Jeepers. No wonder the US Bobsledding and Speedskating team are believers!

We take some things for granted - but if you can feel the difference in three days, you realize how much control you have over your health!  And you really do! Enough to even BLOG about it!!  Anti-oxidants?  It's probably a word you read and let go.  But oxidation is what happens to a banana..it gets dark. Oxidation is what happens to our skin when we are faced with all the pollutants in the air..and our lungs that inhale the gunk out there (sorry).  I think I'm opting for a pack of supplements - and it's not store bought.

I forgot how great I can feel!!

NOTE:  If you want more information on the supplements I have taken, you may visit DEB LINDER here. Im not the PRO...but my body is thanking me today. 

Spread the Love, Not the Germs

Let's face it - we're always in a hurry.  We are running around all day. For some, it's  one meeting after another, barely finding some time to sit at our desks and get work done.  We're meeting people, talking on the phone and then running errands on our way home.

So, how many hands have you shaken today.  And how many times have you washed your hands?  No need to respond.  The answer's like most people.  Not nearly enough. 

So - there's a branding opportunity for you!  You can promote health and wellness and integrate that with your next marketing program and gift HAND SANITIZERS  that are refillable and can be imprinted with your logo.  For me, this is a staple in my purse, backpack, car and tote bag.  So that's four places I'd see your logo. You think I'll remember it?  Chances are - YES.

So go ahead, shake hands.  Spread the love - not the germs!

REAL Coffee Lovers Will Dig This!

Get serious about your coffee, however way you choose to have it!  I found a really cool solution for all you java kahveh junkies out there who feel the need to save your dollars and give up your second cup of coffee.  I've been testing this new product just released by Thermos into the promotional and special markets industry - and have used it for coffee and water.  This holds about two cups of coffee (so will probably hold a Venti). I went to a trade show at 8am yesterday and took a full bottle with me and had it in my backpack. When I left the show at at 230pm (with a cookie in hand) - the contents were still HOT.

So..forget about buying all those tumblers you see or buy because of the decoration or brand. Your hot beverage will cool off in less than an hour.  Now you can enjoy your coffee down to the last drop!!  Every ounce of your US penny's worth!  You still get your daily kick and caffeine (or if you're like me, unleaded please). 

This is Thermos' leakproof backpack bottle with a push button flip top lid.  It's easy to clean, stainless steel double wall vacuum insulated. (Sound like nothing will get through!) No unnecessary cup to throw away, no coffee cup holder, no splash stick.

Starbuck's Management, you really need to get more stuff like this into your stores!  I vote this for MyStarbucks!

This is available in these two colors - charcoal and espresso. We can customize this and imprint your logo or they're available blank too. 

For the more rough and tumble adventurous folks - we have recommended another Thermos item previously.  The  16oz. travel tumbler with carabiner (on the right featured here) has received rave reviews from our product testers.  Simply twist the top a little bit and sip your coffee...no two parts to handle.  And get this...if you have your hands full...just tighten and twist the top and hook the bottle onto your belt loop or purse and off you go!!

There you have it. Two extreme ways to enjoy every ounce of your favorite beverage.

For purchase information, pricing, imprinting - just check out shopping site at WEBBMAR or contact us at Webbmar PROMO.

Tervis Tumbler Response on BPA Concerns

UPDATE:  5/22 Check our May 22 Post and see how you can win a FREE BPA Free Bottle!

We contacted Tervis Tumbler since we've been innundated with hits and questions on Bisphenol A (BPA). Here is the response from Tervis:

"Currently, Tervis Tumbler does not code our products.  Because of our lifetime guarantee, consumers do not need to recycle.  The number on the bottom of the Tervis Tumblers is the year it was manufactured, not the recycle number.
Tervis Tumbler cares deeply about both the quality & safety of our products.  We have been proactive in assuring that the products we manufacture are safe.  The current reports used by worldwide government regulatory agencies have confirmed that Bisphenol A (BPA) in polycarbonates (the material Tervis Tumblers are made of) is not a risk to human health.   In fact, a person would need to consume more than 1300 pounds of food & beverages that are in contact with polycarbonate materials everyday for their lifetime to exceed the acceptable level. This acceptable level was set by US Environmental Protection Agency and confirmed by European Food Safety Authority in January of 2007."

We at WEBBMAR hope we've been able to answer your questions.  The product is available for customization through our company.  We also have products that are BPA free.  As responsible Advertising Specialists, we believe that information is of utmost importance and we hope that by obtaining a response from Tervis, you can make your best informed decision.

Health & Energy Meet Up, Thursday April 10

 

I am posting this flyer because I am a fan of the product, especially the  Usana Sense skin care line. I received a compliment yesterday from a classmate I hadn't seen in 20 years and she said I hadn't aged.  I'm a proponent of good suppliments with quick dissolvability, and this one you can feel after only 20 minutes. Additionally, Dr. Nejad, the Chiropractor - completely relieved my back pain which allowed me to enjoy my night out with Bruce Springsteen...so he's my local hero.

If you're in the area....drop by and say hello!!
