I’m really excited! Fall is finally here. The weather is getting cooler; the leaves are starting to change and Halloween candy is everywhere.

Is it just me or has this year flown by? When I looked at the calendar this morning and realized that it is almost October, I couldn’t believe it. Don’t get me wrong I love October, but it is still just once a year, right?

The three main reasons I love October are the Halloween parties, beautiful fall weather,  and the fact that it’s time to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an international health campaign that strives to raise money for breast cancer research, increase awareness and provide greater access to screening services. While this October marks the 26th anniversary of the campaign, why not strive to spread the message all year long?

Absorbent, Ink. carries a great selection of Breast Cancer Awareness Products to help spread the message. Pink die-cut bags are a very effective and budget friendly promotion for any event. Just add your logo, slogan or message and these attractive bags will maximize your exposure. If you’re looking for something fun, try out some pink ribbon stress balls. These cute ribbon stress relievers are perfect for advertising campaigns and squeezing away stress. Awareness bracelets are a fantastic item to spread the message and a fun way to show your support. Try wearing these big band silicone bracelets to make an even bigger impact.

If you’re looking for a more professional breast cancer awareness promotion, try out personalized presentation folders. Pocket folders and business folders are a great way to make the most of your branding opportunities. Folders can be personalized to meet your needs and will get reused often to really make your message last.

Keep Breast Cancer Awareness in mind this month and consider pink promotions to help spread the message and raise awareness.

Think Pink!

I just got back from a fun filled Labor Day weekend. What a great holiday! My family flew in from out of state and we relaxed and reminisced all weekend. It was a nice chance to unwind and re-energize without having to travel. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel, but sometimes it is nice to stay close to home. Luckily, my family came to me this year and the only traveling I had to do was to pick them up at the airport. While we waited for the luggage to show up, I spotted all sorts of eye-catching luggage tags. Leather luggage tags, bright plastic tags, full color tags and even metal luggage tags circulated the baggage claim carousel. It made me realize just how effective luggage tags can be and the advertising potential that they have.

You want to make sure no one mistakes your luggage for their own, right? Luggage tags will ensure that. They’re perfect for identifying your luggage, and offer an effective way for getting your custom imprint seen around the globe. Absorbent, Ink’s personalized luggage tags come in different styles, shapes and materials that can be customized with any artwork, logo or slogan. They’re perfect for giveaways, corporate gifts, travel promotions, fundraisers and advertising campaigns.

So next time you find yourself in the airport, take a look around and watch all of the custom luggage tags go by. You just might find something interesting.

Safe travels,

I have to confess, I love to eat! I’m a bit of a foodie and love going out to the latest restaurants to try new and exciting food. On a recent trip out to eat, I came across a great promotional idea. As I reached to get my drink, I noticed something printed on my coaster. Upon further inspection I realized the coaster had a list of the restaurant’s specialty desserts printed on it. My first thought was “Yum” and then I realized what a brilliant advertisement it was. I couldn’t stop thinking about what dessert I was going to order after seeing that coaster.

What better way to get noticed than by advertising subtly right under a customer’s nose? It worked on me! Personalized coasters aren’t just great for restaurants – they’re also perfect for wedding receptions, business events, bars, nightclubs, coffee shops, birthday parties, and banquets. They even make fantastic gifts.

Absorbent, Ink.’s drink coasters are available in budget-friendly pulpboard, cork, fabric and even rubber. If you are looking for something a little more special, gift coasters are available in a variety of styles from metal and leather to ceramic and stone. They provide a great way to add a touch of class to any promotional giveaway.

Coaster printing is an effective way to get your custom artwork, logo or slogan noticed with ease. Regardless of the coasters you choose, they are bound to make a lasting statement.

Cheers,

Good old summer. It always seems like when summer rolls around so do the summer weddings, pool parties, family picnics, nights on the town and a lot of dining out. I’ve noticed that every fancy shindig or special occasion I’ve gone to lately has had neat custom beverage napkins. They add such a nice personal touch and really provide a cohesiveness to the events I’ve attended.

What I really love about personalized beverage napkins is that they are not only budget friendly, but they also make excellent keepsakes. Have you ever been to a wedding or party that provided custom printed napkins?  Chances are that many people took home those napkins to remember the special day. I happen to have napkins from every wedding I’ve attended. They are safely tucked away into scrapbooks along with pictures of the bride and groom. Such an easy way to make a lasting memory.

If you keep your eyes out you will probably notice just how many different places utilize custom napkins. Next time your go to a bar or restaurant, look under your drink glass and I bet you’ll find a personalized cocktail napkin. You may even find them at the next family picnic or Birthday party you attend. Napkins seem to make the perfect little canvases for designing and showcasing any logo, artwork or slogan. Also, they are available in a rainbow of colors and a variety of styles so they can easily suit any event or match a theme easily.

Kick your next party, special occasion or advertising campaign up a notch and create your own custom printed napkins.

Until next time,

I recently went on a relaxing vacation to the beach for a few days. I love summer! Taking a couple of days off work to enjoy the weather and just unwind is exactly what I needed to recharge. When I went to check into my seaside hotel, I was handed a custom printed key card holder that contained my hotel key. Not only did the holder safely store my key away, but it also included the numbers for room service, nearby restaurants and check-in times for the hotel. “What a neat promotional idea!” I thought to myself. I guess it is hard to leave work behind, even when on vacation.

When I got back from the beach I had to check Absorbent, Ink. to see if I could find any hotel key card holders. I was pleasantly surprised to find them, along with really nifty key card envelopes, gift card holders and key card wallets as well. What an easy way to advertise!

I started thinking about all of the possibilities for key card holders. They’re perfect for hotel and motel keys, business gift cards, travel programs, casinos, resorts and tourist attractions. They can be customized with logos, travel information, check-out times, important phone numbers and more. Key card wallets are so simple, yet they have so many possibilities and are perfect for a variety of promotions.

Keep your eyes peeled for fantastic promotional ideas, because you may be surprised by what you find… even when you’re on vacation. Imagination is the key to making your advertising stand out.

Here’s to fresh ideas,

Yawn! I don’t know about you but I sometimes have a hard time getting up in the morning. I drag myself out of a bed and brew a pot of coffee to wake me up and chase the sleepiness away. Sadly, while in a half-asleep stupor this morning, I dropped my favorite coffee cup and it broke. Oh no! Now what? It must be time to get a new favorite coffee mug and preferably one that won’t break. Luckily, Absorbent, Ink. carries an assortment of plastic coffee mugs that are perfect for early morning fumbles and waking up tired promotions.

You know what is even better than getting a jolt of caffeine in the morning? Drinking it out of an eco-friendly mug! Eco-friendly plastic coffee cups are a great way to help keep the environment green and reduce unnecessary waste. They are also perfect for employee gifts, environmental campaigns, bookstores, tradeshow giveaways, cafes and fundraisers.

Recycled coffee mugs are excellent because they are made of repurposed materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Biodegradable coffee mugs are made of soy proteins and corn plastics that break down safely and quickly into raw materials that are recycled back into the environment. Pretty cool, right?

However you wake up in the morning, supporting the use of eco-friendly products is a fantastic way to start the day and a great way to perk up your promotions.

Take care,

I have to admit that two of my favorite things are food and the great outdoors. What better way to spend a weekend afternoon than enjoying both at once! Pack up one of these picnic sets and head to the park or beach for a wonderful day of fun in the sun.

Personalized picnic sets would make a really memorable gift that packs a big promotional punch.
