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! Only $13.99 at quantities of 50 or more. Includes golf balls and pro golf tool as well. Again, a special not on our website so call if it's intriguing!

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!

Usually we don't advise purchasing clearance items because inevitably the client falls in "love" with the item and wants to reorder. However there are times when budget is an issue and there might be a one time tradeshow giveaway or quick client appreciation gift. A few current clearance promotional products are below - call me to check on availability!


1. Anti bacterial hand sanitizer - on sale for $1.75 at 300 pieces. (this is a fancy one with a push button spray) Other hand sanitizers are on our site as well that might fit your budget.




2. 24 Pack Cooler for only $5.35 each - minimum order 150 pieces. For a holiday gift these would really impress your clients. Other promotional coolers are on our site.





3. Globe spinning icon key holder only $.98 each - 500 piece minimum. This is quite a deal because usually they were $2.25 each. For more key holders click the link here: www.adcomarketing.com/keychains.htm


These sale promotional tradeshow and client giveaways aren't on our website so just give me a call 415-927-2881. (ask for Karen)

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.

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/ .
