Hello! And welcome back to our blog. It’s always a pleasure seeing your face again. Can you believe 2011 is almost over? It seemed to creep up on us so quickly! That said, we’d like to introduce you to a few new products that will be available in the New Year. We have a whole gang of new guys just waiting to make their debut, so let’s get started…
- SPF 15 Caffeine Balm – Don’t under estimate the power that this little guy holds. Made with green tea and caffeine extract, this is sure to perk up your pucker with a delightfully sweet citrus taste. Our caffeine balm comes in a black tube and cap (perfect for Halloween, sports events, races/walks, etc.) We may even see these popping up in coffee shops sometime soon for all those caffeine lovers out there!
- Hand Sanitizer Spray Pens – New and improved! Our hand sanitizer spray pens still come in a clear tube, but they have been given a facelift with a colorful cap. This is one of my personal favorites! They are so handy to keep in your purse or pocket and ward off any unwelcomed germs that come your way. Health professionals and schools are sure to fall in love with this product.
- Credit Card Hand Sanitizer Spray – New to our hand sanitizer family is the ultra slim and chic credit card shaped hand sanitizer. Available in ten different colors with your choice of a solid, translucent or sparkle case, this guy packs a powerful dose of protection against cold and flu germs.
- Lotion – Two new lotion scents are gracing us with their presence in 2012. Pleased to introduce our Vanilla lotion and our Cucumber Melon lotion. Still has soothing and hydrating as ever, these new scents are joining the ranks with our Lavender and Citrus lotions. Perfect for nail salons and spas who like to pamper their clients.
- Zipper Bag – This clear vinyl bag comes equipped with a pocket for your business card. Comes with a black zipper or an assortment of colored zippers. Fill these bags with information about your company, coupons for special savings or customized pens and pencils. These bags are a great give away item to put in swag bags at tradeshows.
- Mega Steel Tumbler – Our new stainless steel tumbler is foam insulated to keep drinks hot or cold through morning meetings and emails. It also features a spill resistant lid making traveling with this tumbler from home to office even easier. This is a great item to give as a gift to clients or at corporate parties.
- Water Bottles - We’re pretty excited to tell you about three new water bottles we’ll be offering in 2012. Our new 24 ounce, 27 ounce and 32 ounce water bottles make it easy for you to decide which works best for your next event. The 24 ounce water bottle is perfect for anyone who travels frequently. Wrapped in a soft Neoprene sleeve for a comfortable grip, this bottle also features a spill proof flip up lid. Need something for the 5k you’re sponsoring? Our 27 and 32 ounce water bottles are great for runners and high school sports teams. Molded from food-safe (and BPA free) PETE, these water bottles also come with three different lid options to fit your needs.
- Drawstring Backpack & Water Bottle Combo – Want to enhance your water bottle? Try this new combo pack! A nylon backpack is tucked into your choice of water bottle for an ideal gift for sports teams, school trips or summer camps. Don’t need the water bottle? You can get our colorful nylon backpacks solo if you choose.
- Color Change Stadium Cup – These are sure to be a hit at the next kid friendly event you host! Kids love this 12 ounce plastic cup that changes color as it gets cold. Pediatric dentists and orthodontists can fill these fun cups with a new toothbrush and floss to encourage their little patients to brush and rinse three times a day.
- Apparel – Always a big hit for races and walks, we now offer a wide variety of clothing options to suit your needs. Available in adult and youth sizes and an array of bright colors, choose between our short sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts or golf shirts.
- Pens – Pens have always been one of our most popular promo items, so we thought we’d add two new varieties for 2012. Our BIC Round Stick Pen features smooth writing ink in over twenty different colors, including metallic and sparkle! And if you like to be earth friendly, try this pen in our new eco version. We’ve also added a Click Gel Pen to the lineup. This pen writes beautifully, has a soft grip section and comes in blue or black.
- Pencils – These new fun and colorful pencils will be hard to pass up! Our new Fluorescent and Mood Pencils are great for any kid-related event or office. The brightly colored neon fluorescent pencils are a great hand out for police officers and fire fighters at community safety events, while the color changing mood pencils are great for pediatric doctors, public libraries and local organizations. Try passing these out at parades, carnivals or school fairs.
- Note Pad – If you’re like me, you can always use a note pad for jotting down reminders, appointments, phone numbers or grocery lists. At four by six inches in size, our new note pad is large enough for writing any information you may need but small enough that it won’t clutter your desk, side table or night stand. This promo item will be greatly appreciated as something that people will use every day.
- Wall Calendar – Help your customers, clients, patients and colleagues keep organized in 2012 with our new wall calendars! Choose between a wide variety of themes, such as puppies or delicious dining, with this 13 month calendar available in either a spiral or a stapled edge.
