Custom Tote Bags and Bulk Tote Bags

Custom tote bags and bulk tote bags will never go out of style. Whether you need them for a tradeshow or a conference, or just to retail at your local grocery store, now more than ever these make a great gift.

When considering what custom tote bags and bulk tote bags to purchase, you should take the following into consideration: Materials - non woven is a lighter weight more mesh like material, inexpensive and sold at many grocery stores. In contrast the canvas and denier are a stronger, thicker material. When perceived value is important, select these materials. Finally, the cotton and eco cotton materials are nice as well for the bags.

Custom tote bags are available in 48 hours from Adco Marketing. Need them even faster? Just call because often we can produce and ship in the same day. Budgets are coming later and later.

Deciding if you purchase custom tote bags and bulk tote bags where to ship is also important. Adco Marketing will ship anywhere, including hotels and conference sites. One time we even shipped directly to a Nascar racing track!

Most popular custom tote bags and bulk tote bags? The number one seller this year is our Big Thunder grocery tote - nice and roomy and comes in lots of colors! We also love this new laminated shopper tote as well.

Email your logo to sales@adcomarketing.com. We can mock it up electronically and show you how it will look on a variety of items. Promotional products are a fun and exciting way to generate great visibility for your company. We look foward to working with you at 888-332-ADCO!

Safety Promotions and Safety Promotional Products

Safety promotions and safety promotional products all involve our top priorities at our companies - safe work place equals money saved and happy productive employees. At Adco Marketing we love helping companies with their safety programs. A key element of most safety programs is some kind of incentive for the employees or staff to use safe procedures. We can design your program from start to finish. Perhaps they collect points which can then be used for logo merchandise such as our custom apparel, custom umbrellas or promotional product items. Alternately you can offer safety awards for number of days without accidents, number of disability days taken, etc. Our safety awards can be in promotional paperweights, custom clothing or perhaps additional safety items such as custom emergency kits.

First aid kits and custom first aid kits are also a major component of promotional safety gear. Accidents in the work place cost millions to companies every year! If you simply take a few minutes to provide these safety promotions to your workers it will pay you back ten fold!

To have a safe workplace you must offer the appropriate safety tools as well. Our custom safety vests are ANSI certified and we offer the custom jackets and safety fleece jackets as well. Let your employees be seen from afar to protect their safety. Additionally the safety glasses help whether on the job or in the classroom. Protecting your employees is a number one priority for Adco Marketing. Check out the variety of safety promotional items for your next safety program. Call 888-332-ADCO for even more ideas.

How about this handsome guy? Wearing our high visibility safety vest!

Promotional Travel Mugs and Tumblers

How and why to buy Promotional Travel Mugs and Custom Tumblers ? I thought you'd never ask...Well you might need a terrific promotional product with a lot of logo viewing time. Something that won't be thrown in a drawer or consumed immediately. The perfect customer gift would be the promotional travel mugs and custom tumblers . These have the advantage of flexibility. The user takes them to and from the office, stops at Starbucks perhaps for a coffee, keeps the tumblers in the drink holder in the car. Drinks the coffee at the office showcasing your logo and information. Indeed we can thank those Starbucks travel mugs for making our custom mugs even more useful and popular!

Several types of promotional travel mugs and custom tumblers come to mind. The least costly or budget travel mug is completely plastic. (these days we recommend the BPA free kind). Around $2, these plastic tumblers with or without the handle make a terrific tradeshow giveaway for those needing travel mugs on a budget.

The second and more prevalent type today are the stainless steel travel mugs . Our custom tumblers can have steel on the outside, with the inside either being plastic or steel. When you want the promotional travel mugs to have steel on the inside, it is called "double walled". The plastic liners work just as well really but don't look as cool or give the highest perceived value.

This promotional travel mug and is both double walled stainless steel and super sleek looking. Maybe jazz it up with your logo and resell in a coffee shop or give away to customers.

We hope you will consider Adco Marketing for all of your promotional travel mug purchases. We love to help with artwork or other questions as well. Below are a few images of our more common travel tumbler styles. Call 888-332-ADCO for even more travel mug advice! Our website for promotional products is www.adcomarketing.com

Stress Balls and Squeeze Balls How to Buy

These items particularly can highlight your company's mission, goals, or services, particularly if you purchase the shaped items. Other names for these include stress relievers and squeeze toys when you are doing your research. We love these squeezable fun toys with lots of logo viewing time.

Stress balls are available in blue, red, black, orange, yellow, green, white and purple. They can be thrown around the tradeshow booth, squeezed for physical therapy, and used for ergonomic stretching at the work place. When purchasing these please be sure to note the imprint area is about one inch. You can also imprint the back side for around a quarter more. Get creative with your slogan or we can "bounce" ideas around with you!







We feel the shaped squeeze balls and stress balls are even more effective marketing tools. The categories that are most popular are construction squeeze balls including hard hat squeeze toys and cone squeezes. Medical promotional products are also perfect for these categories including heart sqeeze toys , lung squeeze, ambulance squeeze and nurse and doctor stress relievers.

Promotional Mugs

Our promotional mugs ship on time with the correct logo. You can talk to a live person and request free samples. We use only top quality factories that we've worked with for years. Yes,there are discount mugs out there but if they are shipping from Florida and you are in California the difference you pay in freight will not make it worth it to work with them! We choose mug factories closest to where your event is, thus saving you on the freight. Coffee mugs are not as nice when they arrive broken and crushed by UPS traveling across country!
Now these very common, possible not very exciting in terms of style 11 ounce promotional mugs are available as low as $.99 each in white. If you're on a budget this is the way to go! White does tend to show coffee stains a bit more though so if you can add just forty cents or so, a crisper look for promotional mugs would be a colored mug. Cobalt blue with a white imprint is our best selling promotional mug in this category.

But what if you had just another dollar or two? How much more creative could you get? How much more likely would the client actually keep the mug on their desk for all to see?For example, this promotional mug made of ceramic is a barrel mug with a beautiful matte finish. These two tone promotional mugs are sure to stay on your client's desk longer than the typical 11 ounce mug. I can ship from California, or Ohio, or the East Coast, thus saving you money and assuring a beautiful promotional mug. The Barrel mug is 16 ounces and is priced around $2.99 each at 144 pieces.

The question is when to use a promotional ceramic mug or promotional coffee mug, and when to use more of a promotional travel mug. If you are handing these out at a tradeshow you might be more inclined to do a promotional mug that is ceramic. But think about your audience. Are they flying on airplanes to go home or just driving? If flying a non breakable travel mug is the better choice.On the other hand for maximum visibility for clients, a ceramic mug set given to each office will get you more logo visibility. Our wide range of ceramic mugs, discount mugs and travel mugs is sure to appeal to your clients!
This pink versatile mug looks fun and comes in orange, purple and many other colors. For discount mugs or promotional mugs that look like this call 888-332-ADCo and ask for Karen. These aren't even on our website so be sure to call to see all the colors. Available for $3.59 each at 144 pieces.

(yes, you can purchase just 72 if necessary for most of our mugs!)
Campfire mugs are a terrific throwback to simpler times.

These promotional mugs are priced at $3.17 at 144 pieces and also come in a variety of colors. The metallic gold imprint adds around $.50 each.
The ergo mug has been popular for years as well with us. At $2.29 this discount promotional mug actually has a nice shape! Call 888-332-2326 and ask for Karen!
The design and quality of our travel mugs cannot be beat as well!
