Golf for all ages...... especially kids!

Golfing has become a very popular sport among children also.

From kids birthday parties to community park districts and golf course learning centers. Whether it's a morning, evening or after school event for kids, finding that take home promotional item could have the added benefit of bringing them back!



I need a drink

A simple water bottle has a very large space for the event information or the golf course name, birthday party thank you or kids learning program. Beverage containers are one of my favorite promotional items for just about any business, event or organization for marketing. Whether it's coffee mugs or kids water bottles, there is so much room for any additional information or message you may want to share and use for a promotion.

When golf is the game of your outing........

Summertime and golfing...........  Both are passions for many people and many business professionals.  Statistics on business connections and deals made on a golf course are remarkable...  "48% of Executives see the Golf Course as an ideal biz environment! ... Over 1/3 said, “Some of my biggest business deals were made on the golf course”.  quoted from MGT magazine. 

Welcome golfers!

I love Golf

So, your business is hosting the annual Customer Appreciation Golf Outing or annual Subdivision Golf Outing, etc., with the anticipation that a golf outing brings, keep in mind that if you are the host, you also can set the tone of the outing. Adding the perfect promotional products can give your event that added value.  

"Welcome" all your golfers with a great sign of your business or annual outing...

Most outings run all day with golfers arriving very early to connect with other golfers and customers or business associates.  Bright and early on the course means hungry golfers that will be out most of the day swinging away and connecting with others.  So, what could you do to promote your business at the start of the outing.  Make sure everyone takes some coffee, tea, or favorite morning beverage out on the course.

Coffee, tea, orange juice, gum!  I can hold it!

Great way to send the golfers out on the range which can also hold any marketing material you may want to include or even a little pack of sun screen, lip balm, gum, etc. 

Band Aids, Aloe!

Sun screen, hand sanitizer!

Other great and useful items for this take along bag for any blisters or cuts that may pop up during the day.

So many fun, memorable and useful promo giveaway items. If you need any help with your golf outing this year?  Let me know> See our Pinterest page for more ideas and for budget golf items and visit our web page for that perfect golf outing idea.  Find us on Facebook or Google + with any questions.

So, how else can I use imprinted items!

My last blog was a little introduction and some thoughts on marketing and budgets.  In addition to marketing, promotional products are used in so many more ways.  Take for example the "save the date" promotional items that newly engaged couples send out to their friends and families to announce their upcoming nuptials.

"save the date"  mail or hand deliver

This is a "save the date" item that one of my friend's brides decided to use.... she mailed quite a few to folks that she did not live close enough so that she could hand deliver.  The rest she gave to friends and family during the holidays.








So, for weddings it's quite simple.  Imprinted items run the gambit from showers to wedding reception.... imprinted and custom shaped.

Add your Name and Date!!!

You can Add your name and date
to just about any candy or wrapper!










Any theme or idea for a party can be visually outstanding with that unique logo on a unique item announging a wedding or announcing a party, grand opening or upcoming event!  Sky's the limit when it comes to imprinting an item to announce, introduce and promote.

IT professional's..... this is it!

Back to Marketing .... with promotional products!

So....... I started my new blog Find Promotions by promochiq  (the @promochiq is my twitter account) with 2 posts on weddings.  Why?  Because this is the season for weddings and I was getting more questions about wedding ideas for favors and take home presents from my facebook page.  I was starting to get work and orders for things like.....

Shower favor?   Wedding "take home" present?  Beautiful!!!

So back to marketing...  As a marketing professional with years and years of experience, I have helped and advised many new business on marketing and getting their business off on the right foot.  Every business need to have a marketing plan, be it small or large depends on your business and of course your budget.  But with that said, every business has to have a marketing/advertising budget.  Now where to put that budget and how much to allow?   A new small business could allow perhaps $100 to $150 per quarter to market to their potential customers.  How to market and what kind of advertising????   

This video is a little information on how people use promotional products and why they are a good use of your marketing budget.

Did you know that for as little as $195 you can have about 250 magnet refrigerator calendars imprinted with your company's logo, or your school, group, or community information.  Those 250 calendars will be looked at daily by 250 different families, business, groups and individuals every day... EVERY DAY!!!! 

Magentic Calendars - 250 for $195!!!

If this was included at the 4th quarter usually sent out from Sept. through Nov. your calendar will be the go-to on that fridge. (I almost said ice-box) yikes!  Great use of marketing dollars especially if your business has a customer base of individuals.  ie. Doctor, Dentist, Pharmacy, Computer Business, Store, etc.

So again, you don't need a huge marketing budget to make advertising and marketing work for you.  You just need a professional to help you sort through your needs, customer base and best bang for your advertising dollars!

The Perfect Wedding!

Yes.... Spring arrived finally and Summer is on her way..........So are weddings, showers, receptions and more! 

Great shower "take home" present!

With weddings at the top of the seasons list, what is the perfect wedding.  Every brides's dream from childhood is to have the most beautiful wedding.  Something special, spectacular, memorable.... the wedding of weddings that no one will forget.  Yes it does put pressure on the bride and yes we do it to ourselves (every bride knows this).

So what do brides want?  What are the latest trends? What do you consider the "perfect" wedding?

We know what the bride wants, and based on her personality is pretty much what she's going to look for in wedding theme, banquet/party location, food, etc.  For shower planners, there are lots of ideas for that southern belle bride, the cosmopolitan bride, or the cowgirl bride.

Trends come and go but here are a few of the tops for Spring/Summer 2014 -  http://www.elegantweddinginvites.com/wedding-colors-2014-wedding-trends-part-3/  Great source for color trends for this year.

The perfect wedding is also cost conscious... Splurges are usually on the wedding dress and reception with more cost cutting on entertainment, flowers, cake. etc.  The Knot has great information for costs.    http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-budget.aspx

Whatever the theme, colors, venue or time of year, weddings are a special time for the bride, family and guests!  Have fun and relax and enjoy the day!

Need ideas for memorable take-home presents for your shower and wedding guests?  Find tons of ideas here  Wedding, shower imprinted gifts

And.... of course just ask me!

Summer is coming and so are Weddings

Spring...... my favorite time of year.  The time of renewal after a long winter. Spring is also the favorite time for weddings and wedding planning.  April is the most popular month for all things bridal. Whether it's a bridal shower or the wedding date, April is it!

For wedding planners, finding that right "favor" to please the bride to be can be a challenge.  With the variety of items and the wish to find that "one of a kind" type favor for that special bride, a wedding planner can have her work cut out for her.  There are hundreds of ideas available and probably the first consideration would be budget, and of course producing a "one of a kind" item personalized for that bride can be impacted by production time of the item itself. Considerations such as where the item is to be produced (can impact shipping costs) and being sure that the favor is in stock in the color needed to match bridesmaids dresses or wedding theme.
Typical personalized favor items that do not need to be quick produced should normally take two to three weeks including shipping.  Remembering that artwork is also part of the personalization that can be incorporated along with the bride and groom's names and date of wedding!  With the variety of items available for weddings, don't forget the more unique ideas such as luggage tags for that destination wedding or garden seed postcads or strips for that home wedding.

Lots of ideas!  Question? just ask!
