I spent a lot of time in traffic this weekend. Most of that time was spent driving back and forth across town stuck in slow traffic. When I’m bored while caught in traffic, I tend to start reading all of the bumper stickers that I see on my commute.

I woke up this morning and realized that it’s President’s Day today.

It’s that time of year again – tax time!  Last night I sat down determined to file my taxes. I gathered up all of my paperwork for the year and got my tax documents ready.

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.

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,

Abby Ink

Are you looking for an effective way to grab attention and promote your brand or event? Custom promotional products are just what you’re looking for! By giving away or promoting with printed items you are increasing your brand exposure and increasing your chance for future success. Try these tips to help you better realize what you’re looking for and ensure you choose the right promotional products.

Know your Budget
An important first step when selecting the right custom promotional products is to determine your budget. When you have established your advertising budget you can determine how much per piece you have to spend. This will help you know what price point to look for. Regardless of your budget, advertising with printed promotions does not have to be expensive. There are promotional products available for every budget. If you’re looking to hand out a few upscale gifts for special occasions, there are plenty of custom promotional products to choose from. If you’d rather give away a large volume of inexpensive items, there is a huge selection of low-cost items available. Strive to promote with the highest-quality products you can afford to ensure your products make a great impression and are reliable.

Know your Identity
Promotional products are meant to advertise an event, display a logo or carry a message. These customized items should represent your organization, your event, or your business. It’s a great idea to figure out how you want to convey your message or what impression you want to leave. Do you want to make a professional impression? Do you want a unique product that recipients can have fun with? Do you want to give a functional gift and show your practicality? The possibilities are endless with promotional products.

Know your Target Audience
It’s essential that your promotional items resonate with recipients. Try to know and understand your audience. What age groups are you trying to appeal to? Is there a specific business market you are aiming for? At what venue will you be distributing your product? You want to interest people in your brand, and knowing what your target audience wants is an important part of your success. For instance, if you’re focusing on advertising to eco-friendly groups, green keychains, corn plastic mugs or seed infused items would be a smart choice. However, if you’re marketing to tech minded individuals; customized flash drives may be a great choice. Get to know the individuals you’re trying to reach and your promotional advertising will be more successful.

Advertising with custom promotional products is an important part of marketing your company or brand and it can make a huge impact on your sales and customer base. A little research into your target audience can go a long way. Every business is unique, so it’s best to determine what products are best for you and your company and focus on that market. So, start thinking about whom you’re trying to reach, how much you can spend and what you are trying to achieve and your endeavors are sure to be a success!
