Would You Get A Microchip?

Last week several media outlets carried stories about employees willingly having a microchip placed beneath their skin. Advocators for this type of technology point to ease of use, security for data and identification. For a gal who is still getting past adult communication in the form of a text, a microchip is not coming for me. However, technology is changing our lives. As we zoom towards the end of the year tailgating, acknowledgement and gifts will take center stage. Mixing in top technology to stay connected is a great way to show you care and provide brand interaction.

 Brands that deliver-

 According to a 2016 PPAI study- a branded gift will create goodwill, loyalty and generate a call to action with your intended recipient. In fact, promotional gifts were they only  category compared with broadcast advertising, on line advertising, mobile advertising and print advertising that topped  the #1 response from Millennial's, Gen-X, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation; impressive right?  Response to a promotional gift create an emotional connection.

Which items, which brands? It depends on your message and the intended recipient, because you want to select items that will be appreciated and used. We always suggest making employee and key business relationship gifts part of your over marketing plan rather than a knee-jerk reaction to acknowledgment.

10 Reasons To Brand A Hat

When was the last time you wore a hat?

 For me it was on the way home Friday afternoon. All week a sample kept calling my name, the shape, the material- it beckoned me to wear it because of the style!

In fact hats are one of the top wearable items because they cross easily among genders, ages and size.

Hats protect us from the sun, keep our head warm and provide us a way to distinguish ourselves with fashion. When you wear an interesting hat or a branded hat you stand out in a crowd. A hat provides an easy way to identify a team or a group of supporters for an idea, cause or non profit.

There are many reasons to wear a hat and to use a hat as part of your marketing plan.

Here are 10 reasons to brand a hat:

• Rebate or Incentive
• Spirit
• Cause Marketing– Awareness
• Brand Launch
• Employee Identification
• Co Branding
• Commemorative– Collectable
• Inner Office Fun
• Fundraising
• Teams– sports groups– fitness

Hungry For More Business?

My Mee Maw was a great cook- savory, sweet, it did not matter. She loved to cook and it showed in what she put on the table. Visiting her was always a treat because we knew she was going to make us some of our favorite dishes; and best of all, we'd get to eat pie for breakfast! What kid wouldn't love to beam at their mom and say, "your mom said we could eat pie for breakfast"!

It's been close to 30 years since I've been able to have any of my Mee Maw's pies, but I can still taste the pies. Food memories remain strong because food is an emotional trigger. Most promotional products are designed to provide a memorable experience for a single person. However food gifts allow you to please an entire group at once with shareable food gifts. When you multiply the number of impressions a food gift makes among a staff of people, particularly when complemented by imprinted keepsakes for their office space, you create a very cost-effective gift.
