Here we are a the beginning of another year. As always, the promotional products industry has a bevy of new product offerings that is more creative than last year. With so many new products, it's hard to point all of them out, so over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting a few new products in our blog.
This first new product is called WalkSafe and it is brought to us by the creative minds of Shedrain. I am sure that some of you are familiar with this brand of umbrella through it's retail outlets, but is also available in the promotional products industry.
So, here is a little bit about the product. These umbrellas are designed to be seen from every angle with 3M Scotchlite reflective material, the most important thought for these umbrellas was pedestrian safety. This patented material is located on each panel to give pedestrians enhanced 360 visibility. Based on a recent study nearly 5000 pedestrians are killed in traffic crashes, 71,000 are injured and 65% of pedestrian fatalities occur between 6pm and 6am. With these grim statistics these highly reflective umbrellas are a perfect solution.
The WalkSafe umbrella line includes a bented golf umbrella, a manual open compact and an auto open & close compact. They come in a wide range of colors too. All are availble with your logo on one or more panels.
Please call your Artina rep to get more information on this item for your safety programs and employee gifts as well as to learn more about the 2010 new products!

New Hand Sanitizing product
With all of the discussion surrounding various flu types, the one thing that experts agree on is that you must keep your hands clean. Sometimes that is easier said than done, especially when you are in different business and social situations.
The promotional products industry has stepped up by offering various sizes and formulations of hand-sanitizers. From a pocket spray to desk top pumps, you can provide hand sanitizer to any of your clients and customers....keeping them safe and reminding them of your name.
The large majority of hand sanitizing products are alcohol-based. However, there is a new product on the market that is non-alcohol based. This new formula stays on hands and keeps working for up to 30 minutes after application, while traditional sanitizers stop working after 5 seconds. It is approved for food service, so you can apply the product and immediately prepare or serve food. Since it is alcohol free, it will not dry out your already winter-ravaged hands.
It has been tested and is FDA compliant. For more information and details including test results and data, call Artina at 800-433-5587 or visit us online at www.artina.com.

Healthy Workforce Act & Promotional Products
In April of 2009, the Healthy Workforce Act of 2009 was introduced to the Senate and House for consideration. This legislation would give a tax credit to employers who implement wellness programs. An employer would receive a 50% tax credit for the costs of providing employees with a qualified wellness program up to $200 for the first 200 employees and $100 for each employee above that. Wow, what an incentive, plus the employer will see the benefits when the cost of their insurance decreases and they see increased productivity from their energized employees.
However, what will motivate employees to participate in the program? Employers will need to provide incentives to join the program and recognize achievements for those who continue. These items can include anything from water bottles, towels and pedometers to bags and watches. Making a contest for the participants to strive for also offers the opportunity to recognize the participants with trophies and other awards. These are tangible things that can be kept at their desks to remind them and others of the achievements realized through the wellness program.
Ask your promotional products professional for other creative ideas that can help your employees reach their fitness goals. You can check out some ideas at www.artina.com or just give us a call at 800.433.5587.

Artina Team visits screenprinting/embroidery facility
The team at Artina Promotional Products recently visited a screenprinting/embroidery facility located in Ohio. The visit provided a unique opportunity for the team to get a firsthand look at how both screenprinting and embroidery are done, start to finish. The team toured the facility for the graphic design team to seeing how a screen is burned. We were able to see many jobs being printed, everything from one color imprint to multiple colors.
After the printing tour, it was on to the embroidery room to see how the embroidery is done. Take a look at some of the photos...http://artina.shutterfly.com/209
