The Best of PPAI 2009 - POWERSTICK (Executive Gifts)

Booth by booth, aisle by aisle, floor by floor - and  we found the BEST item at the new BRANDS section of the convention.  Our  best item is  based on our criteria of usability and usefulness, excellent ROI and environmental efficiency.  It is also a good time in the current market for this neat energy pack as small as a pack of gum.   Introducing the award winning POWERSTICK by Ecosol, now available as a corporate branded gift item.

The Powerstick was exhibited at the PPAI's BRANDS section, separate from the rest of the supplier booths.  Anticipating that this would be an excellent green eco-friendly and smart item for executive gift giving, I asked if there were samples for me to review.  The two reps advised me that there were 20 samples that would be available by 9:30am the next day.  I asked to pre-pay for one to ensure we got one, and they were nice enough to oblige.  When I went over on Friday at 9:30am, all but two were gone. 

The POWERSTICK is USB powered portable charger that enables you to instantly bring your  mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players back to life - on the go.  There's a power indicator that allows you to know how much juice you have on standby, and you can easily charge it back up via USB hub.  Perfect for travelers!  This item is available in retail at $59.99 (blank).  To inquire about promotional gift pricing or to purchase imprinted / branded POWERSTICKs  for  your next executive gift giving event or incentive promotions, contact  WEBBMAR Promotions and we'll be pleased to quote your request.

The Best Promotional Products for 2008

2008 was a very green year.  Green in terms of promotional product inquiries, sales and interests.  We started this blog almost a year ago after we attended the PPAI tradeshow in January.  We knew then that environmentally appropriate gifts would be popular and we were pleasantly surprised at what soon unfolded.

When we began our blog, not much was said about BPA Free drinkware.  We saw it very early on, beginning with baby bottles (thanks to our little man, Nate!).  It soon made it's way into the promo industry and we picked up early.  As a result, these safe, Bisphenol-A free products were our hottest sellers!  Universities and corporations were quick to engage.  We have seen aluminum bottles come right on the heels of Camelbak bottles (first to be FREE).  Sigg bottles were once hot, and then surprisingly were replaced by similar looking bottles.  I was surprised that they stopped taking custom orders on their website. 

Webbmar Promotions continues to monitor quality manufacturers of safe drinkware.  Contact us at sales(at)webbmar(dot)com to discuss your imprinted promotions.

USB Flash drives remained a much sought-after promotional gifts especially for our high tech clients. While prices fluctuated, our customers were always pleased at our resourcefulness as we were able to score attractive looking flash drives from some of our preferred suppliers.  Quality was never compromised.  We even turned one order around in three days!

 

As with the prior year and even more so this year, decorated, embroidered and imprinted T SHIRTS and APPAREL were always hot.  Since we work with  the best contract decorators all over the USA, you will rest assured that you'll get a competitive price for your apparel promotions.  Organic cotton is beginning to be accepted by progressive and truly earth conscious corporations. 

GREEN is still very much IN.  As a result, we encourage reusable gifts such as the tote bags below. We were quite successful with these promotions for small and medium sized companies.  The imprint area on these polypropylene grocery totes is so large and visible that it makes one of the BEST promotional gifts one can give.  Additionally, your recipients like the discounts they get when these bags are reused in grocery stores! 

As we move into 2009, we predict that these will remain popular as businesses and corporations look for high ROI product that will NEVER see the darkness of a desk drawer. BRAND NAME products will be big.   We continue to source the industry for only the BEST quality promotional gift products, high perceived value without breaking the bank.

You can always depend on us.
