April 2008 Archives

Yesterday I was on a discount travel website attempting to book a flight from Charlottesville, Virginia to Columbus, Ohio for a colleague. The first option shown was a one-connection flight both ways for $158. Of course, I immediately jumped on that ticket, and in the 15 seconds it took me to click "book", the price went from $158 to $419! This is just one example of what is happening in the airline industry today - there are fewer carriers and "over the top" gas prices, and it is affecting all of us!

For this year's company meetings, why not save on airfare and have a "virtual" meeting instead? Your attendees from all over the world can logon to the same meeting website from the comfort (and inexpensiveness) of their own office. Use a bit of the money you save on travel expenses to send everyone a "meeting in a bag" as their amenity. At leaderpromos.com, we like to suggest a promotional computer bag, beautifully embroidered with your company's logo. Fill the bag with a logo-embroidered polo shirt, travel mug, leather padfolio, or any variety of custom logo promotional products. Your brand will be top of mind, while your attendees will thank you for letting them stay put!

It's almost May, and prom season is just about upon us. Do something special for your prom attendees this year!

This is National SAFE Kids Week, so check out www.usa.safekids.org for childhood safety tips for parents and caregivers.

It's the season for field trips, class trips and day camping. A great way to keep track of a group of kids (from pre-schoolers to high-schoolers) is to provide a brightly colored t-shirt for every day of a trip. My son recently went on a class trip to Washington, DC, and our trip fee included a neon-colored t-shirt for each day of the trip. The kids got to vote on t-shirt colors, and the school had their class logo printed on the front of the promotional t-shirts, and class members' names on the back. At the end of the trip, the kids autographed each other's shirts, creating a wearable keepsake for everyone.

Let leaderpromos.com help you keep track of a group of wandering kids! We have t-shirts available in dozens of colors, from 100% heavy duty cotton to a cotton-poly blend. We can even help you create your artwork to imprint on the shirts, so call us today at 877-677-9988 and let us help you help the kids!

Going green means making a difference for the planet. From purchasing hybrid cars that get 50+ miles to the gallon, to using light bulbs that last 5-8 years instead of 2 hours after you put the bulb in the socket, we all do our part to help the environment. Promotional products are no different. There is a wide variety of products available that are considered eco-friendly that you can get imprinted with your logo that you can giveaway to clients, at tradeshows, or even to internal employees to show that you are concerned with the environment. From tote bags, to notepads and pens, and even apparel made out of organic cotton or bamboo, you will definitely find the eco-friendly promotional product that is right for your organization. You can never go wrong with a eco-friendly product.
