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.

Here is a mug that perhaps is the best of both worlds. Perfect company picnic mug - it's a freezer mug! Won't break on the way home. Our promotional freezer mugs come in many colors and aren't yet on our website so call Karen to see the colors. Priced at $6.79 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. Priced at $2.95 - ask for a sample to feel the quality of ours versus the discount mug people!Another gorgeous mug is this blackfooted bistro mug. 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!

Promotional travel mugs don't break and now often combine steel and acrylic for a beautiful look. See our website for more travel mug options.

These are very sleek looking and send a message to your clients that you care about our planet! They are essentially made from water bottles and yogurt containers.

Custom Umbrella and Promotional Umbrella Sale

Promotional umbrellas are not only a great way to keep your name in front of your customer for years, but also a truly functional gift that is NEVER discarded. However, can I really say never? I am sure we all have tried the custom umbrella that pops out backwards with the first burst of wind. For truly original custom umbrellas or promotional umbrellas you need to look for "wind resistant", and "vented" as part of your search terms. The umbrellas below really hold up to the weather. Click to view more of these at www.adcomarketing.com/umbrellas.htm .

This first style of umbrella that is really getting popular is our custom mini umbrellas. With just a 42" arc, so nice and compact (you won't poke others in the eye when you walk down the street). Yet, it's primary function is to resist those strong winds. (turn it inside out, no problem!) Under $10 it's the perfect sale promotional umbrella -hard to resist and comes in lots of colors!

I like this mini umbrella as well because it comes in a retail style case. Our custom small umbrellas really get the job done and we have several on sale if you call 888-332-ADCO.

This next custom umbrella is golf size. Unless you want your clients to go Mary Poppins on you it's best to also get these with a bit of venting. Golf umbrellas are nice for a variety of clients and if you logo the handle you get a lot of visibility. By the way, "golf" doesn't really mean you take it on the golf course, it just means the arc is nice and big - usually 54" or larger. The custom golf umbrellas we carry all have different handles as well. You can go with the curved look for a slightly more sophisticated style, or the straight stick look where it can double as a walking stick when it stops raining. Check out these:

Fiberglass Golf Umbrella: is light and strong and this Logo Golf Umbrella features a strong fiberglass shaft. 62” arc, fiberglass shaft, Duraflex™ fiberglass ribs, windproof, nylon. Also features a new coordinating color golf wrap handle, matching nylon sleeve

Another nice custom golf umbrella option is our Traveler golf umbrella. At under $12 it's hard to beat. nice solid umbrella. Wooden handle. Available in enough colors that you should be able to find a nice option for your logo. Be sure to logo the strap as well for $1 extra!

With over 1000 umbrella options from Shedrain to Peerless to less "name brand" for the easy executive gift we would love to help you find the right option! Ask for Karen - the promowhiz at 888-332-ADCO

Tote Bags

Tote bags are often provided at conferences and tradeshows with the purpose of giving attendees " something" to hold the various literature and items in that they will pickup from booths. Some well meaning show organizers want the least expensive tote or plastic bag to reach the largest number of people. Well often those tote bags are just tossed out after the event especially if they are very flimsy. We suggest instead to order fewer, higher quality totes. When a tradeshow attendee comes to your booth, take the plastic bag they were provided at the door and subsitute your stronger qualilty bag. (of course if they fill out an information card in order to get that tote, all the better for your lead followup!). The tote bags below fit the below $5 mark and samples are free! Our promotional tote bags are strong, durable and stylish! If you need a special style we also offer custom tote bags - sewn overseas with as few as 1000 pieces.


Checkout these tote bags below and ask for a sample! 415-927-2881 All are under $4. These also come in lots of fun colors. For more tradeshow totebags and promotional totebags see www.adcomarketing.com

Holiday Corporate Gifts

Ok - we almost made it through the Halloween crazies. Now it's time to get down to business. Corporate gifts for the holidays can be really exciting and have the whole office buzzing... or you can send a fruit basket. Your choice! Below are some new items that catch the eye, not the budget:

First off if you have executives on your list, nobody throws away corporate golf giveaways. This relatively new 'Noodle Brand" is sure to catch their attention!

Second thing - everyone gives out the flash drives, but they come in those tiny boxes - for a lot of money they don't show really well. How about this 256 promotional flash drive with a nice metal Soho pen? That way you get more bang for your buck - $22.99 at 25 pieces!.

Clearance Promotional Products Sale! Call for more ideas!

Corporate Gifts

Ok so it's that time of the year when you really "should" send something out to your clients who have given you so much business this year. Corporate gifts are a must yet often can be disappointing! If you send Sees Candies, gift baskets, or Harry and David fruit, whose company are you promoting - theirs, not yours! In the rush of all the gifts received yours needs to stand out and ideally last beyond the holidays. Corporate gift purchases could be categorized into gifts that will stay at the office, and gifts that will be used more often at the home. The decision is critical and probably depends on how often your services will be used (i.e. are you kind of a once a year business mainly needing referrals?) - or are you the type where they might call every month so the phone number needs to be "at the ready"? While our site has many holiday gift ideas, I thought these two were pretty unique!.

The first - Our digital photo frame presents colorful photos — and the time, date and temperature — in vivid detail. Use it to personalize any workstation. Includes a 48" USB cord for downloading BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIF images onto the unit. Holds approximately 60 photos. Rotates photos on the screen. Clock features a built-in alarm with snooze function and backlighting for easy viewing in the dark.

The second is really fun and relaxing -our promotional reed diffusers. Much less "pungent" than incense. A nice gift for both home or office. The reeds diffuse a mild aromotherapy scent. Call me for special pricing or click on the links!

Functional tote bags

Ok so we get a lot of requests for backpacks under $10 and tote bags that will actually hold more than a single piece of paper but not break the budget. No one likes those cheesey $2 totes that you can fold up and put in your pocket! Check out our creatively designed bags - don't you hate it when your cell phone rings when you are walking through a conference and you need to dig to the bottom of your bag to find it? Our tradeshow tote bags and conference tote bags are actually have pockets, are a nice, thick material, have colorful designs and most importantly people will actually use them after the event! Here is a picture below - just click the links to view pricing - you might be surprised!


Promo items for tradeshows are so important. To have a really big presence you need a quality logoed tote bag, promotional products for giveaway, a nice badge holder (even if you are not the main sponsor - just take off the lanyard the person walks up to your booth with and hand them your much cooler one!). Also we recommend having a second tier tradeshow giveaway such as an executive gift for when the person is a "quality lead" - i.e. they see your product demonstration, fill out a card, etc. Call me if you want creative ideas as well that help identify your particular strengths! 888-332-ADCO

"Green" Tradeshow Giveaways

Anybody else going crazy from all the bad air quality from the fires? We're even feeling it here in Northern California! I was at Disneyland during the fires, which became the windiest, dustiest place on earth! Anyhow, that got me thinking about the power of mother nature and how we ought to be nice to her...





I saw the posting honoring those blogs of "green" items. The tradeshow giveaway industry has just recently caught onto this concept. Generally you will see "eco centric" as sort of a generic term for these things. One item came across my desk recently - very cool and functional, gentle on the environment, and still showing "style". Our new organic spa tote enables you to transform your spa, beach or travel gear in this spacious, earth-friendly tote. How cute this would be if you are doing any employee or church retreats! Front straw panel and coconut button closure provide added appeal . Exterior pocket for keys and other small items and 20" shoulder straps.
This product is made from 100% organic cotton fabric. Factory pricing is $15.98 at 50 pieces, 11.98 at 300 pieces. But if you email or call me we can offer special reduced pricing. Stay tuned for other green items as we'll have a special web section in another month on those.

As always our site for more ideas is http://www.adcomarketing.com/ !

Unique ideas to make your head spin...

I can't tell you how tired I am of selling pens, stress balls and mugs! For those who dare to go into the unique - and still want to stay under $3 what can be done? Well I absolutely love this new item. The first is a new take on the old "magic answer ball" - pictured below it has the same response but a totally cool look and feel. Called the "Spinning Genie" , it's weighted on the bottom with these metal balls so it has the "feel" of a stress ball, but with the unique ability to also provide the answers. One mortgage broker gave it away with a "trying to decide what type of loan to get, don't leave it to chance!" It's got just enough room for a company name and number. On sale for $2.99 - minimum order just 100 pieces! As always to see more cool stuff go to http://www.adcomarketing.com/ .
