It’s safe to say that hands down, no one deserves more applause and recognition than our hardworking mothers. The day-to-day responsibilities of not only caring for themselves, their husband and home, but their children and even their children’s friends are hard work! And for that, they need a big “Thank You!” Use promotional products to show the mothers amongst your clients and employees that you appreciate them, too.

With all the stress a mother endures, how about hand delivering an Aromatherapy Candle to all the mothers in the office, complete with an imprinted company logo and a heartfelt thank you card? Or send a useful Sleep Mask that will give moms those much needed and uninterrupted zzz’s. Now, whenever she needs to relax, she’ll be reminded that her employer is looking out for her, too.

What can brighten a mom’s day better than a surprise #1 Mom Gift Basket from your company? Fill the basket with items such as a Chef Set, a personalized Coffee Mug, and a practical Foot Care Kit. Delivering a Mother’s Day Basket to your clients really lets them know that they aren’t just any client - they are also your friends. She’ll take great pride in knowing that you care, which likely encourages her to use your company again in the future. She’ll be more likely to use your company again in the future and take greater pride in it knowing that you are looking out for her.

For every teenager attending Prom, finding the perfect dress, tuxedo, accessories and hairstyle is half the battle and half the fun. With so many brands in the retail, salon and spa market, it is becoming more and more difficult to entice the teen audience. Today’s teens are attracted to quality and instant gratification, so short promotional messages that capture their attention work best. For example, a promotional product imprinted with a brand’s logo and a “Buy one get one” promotion has a higher perceived value in consumers’ minds versus a flyer printed with the same information. For Prom season, businesses like retailers and salons can use promotional products to attract teens searching for their perfect Prom essentials.

A great promotional product for salons and spas is a Manicure Kit. It is a fun and practical product that reminds teens to visit your salon for all their cosmetology needs before the big night.

A Compact Mirror is a creative product that retailers can use to attract new customers. Imprinting a brand logo and the message, “Come see yourself in our dresses,” encourages teens to explore the products a retailer has to offer.

Don’t forget about the fellas! Shoe Polish is a small, but essential item. It is a great product to remind the guys to visit a tuxedo shop for all their Prom needs.

Paris Hilton has announced that she wants to clean up her image. We wish her the best of luck and in order to honor this momentous event, we have some ideas to help everyone celebrate.

Toothbrushes and dental floss: in order to clean up her mouth and perhaps rid her of the phrase “That’s hot.”

Health and beauty gift sets: in order for her to clean up her act, she’s going to have to learn to take it easy and find new ways to relax other than bar hopping.

Wine Gifts: in order for her to host a more sophisticated group of friends. She’s going to need a more sophisticated drink than her former friends were into.

Hilton says that in addition to cleaning up her act, she will use her celebrity status for good. She plans to go to Rwanda in order to raise awareness of the struggles in the African country. We have products that will help her while she’s there as well.

First aid kits: in order to treats those scratches she’s bound to get from wearing those short skirts in nature.

Hand Sanitizer: in order to keep her hands clean without running water.

Back packs: in order for her to keep her dog with her at all times, and protect him from the elements.

We wish Miss Hilton all the luck in the world cleaning up her image. We can’t wait to see what she does next. See you on “Access Hollywood,” Paris, best wishes!
