PROMOTION COMMOTION

Latest from 2010 PPAI Expo ~ Beverage Edition

The PPAI Convention at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas is now history.  I'm glad I attended this year!  There ARE some great new products coming SOON ~ and I'm excited to be letting you know about them in the next few days and weeks.

My favorite suppliers have new lines in LOTS of color!  Lots of SCENTS (more on that on a separate post), lots of new material.

 

Double wall insulated ceramic mugs with silicone rubber tops ~ how much more eco-friendly can you get?

Speaking of eco friendly...

Say hello to much more cost friendly ORGANIC apparel.  It was cool to see real live cotton and a demonstration on how apparel is made.

But back to beverage containers which I love to sell!  More new products!!  I sure was glad to see them!

New form factors, new colors (lots of 'em!!).  Tritan co-polyester, the safe BPA free, non polycarbonate material is now being used in more than just CAMELBAK bottles.  My new suppliers will have them in March!

But Camelbak is now available in smaller bottles for kids!  Must remember the children!

So much more GREAT STUFF!  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  I'm so glad to be able to provide our clients with better solutions to differentiate them and make gift giving FUN again!

Now OUT with the SAME OLD!!

For a more comprehensive summary on what is new and available, please contact us at SALESatWEBBMARdotCOM and we'll give you the lowdown and the heads up on what will soon be available beginning March, 2010.

BYOB Style ~ So NOT Boring!

If you didn't know it, recycled reusable tote bags ~ including grocery bags were one of the BEST promotional items that were given away last year.  The trend will continue this year ~ but with a little bit more flair and imagination, you can set your company or business apart.

Check this out.

So who said you had to stick to the same old same old?  Answer:  Nobody.  You're limited only by your imagination ~ and how creative your promotional distributor is with what is available to you.  This fashion reusable tote Style BTW-1066 costs $2.65.  And it will make heads turn.

Why wouldn't you, then?

It Almost VEGAS Time

I feel like it was just yesterday when I made the annual trek to Vegas with about 12,000 (+ or -) other distributors doing the crazy kick butt show called PPAI Expo.  This year, my husband agreed to meet me there since I'm not a good sleep alone at night kind of person.  We saved up tons of change (two of these babies!) and are willing to say goodbye to it at the slot machines.  If we have any energy left.

If luck is on our side ~ we'll come back with much s'more!

The PPAI tradeshow will allow us to find brand new quality promotional gifts that will set our clients apart from their competition.  This is our industry's biggest show and the one we never miss.  I'm looking forward to posting my "Best of PPAI 2010" post shortly after.  And YES, I am visiting every single booth this year ~ again.

And shipping BOXES of product samples again!  The weeding out is the hard part!  We maintain our policy of not selling anything that falls into the 'cheap junk' category.

Stay tuned for the Best of PPAI 2010 coming mid-January. Tomorrow I will post what the hot trends were for this year and my projections for the coming 12 months.
