Planning for the New Year

The whirlwind of the holidays is now behind us and it is time to start planning for 2008. As you begin to look forward to your 2008 marketing plan, don't forget to plan for obtaining your promotional products as well. Now is a great time to set up a meeting, either via phone or in person, with your promotional products consultant to review your 2008 calendar. By doing this, you are allowing your consultant to work for you. The more they know about your events and upcoming needs, the easier ordering promotional items becomes for you. Share with them your calendar of events that you will need items for and tell them a little about the goals of the events. It is also helpful to share some information about the demographics of the people that will be receiving the items. The last but not less important aspect that your consultant will need to know is your budget. All of this information will help your consultant come up with timely and targeted ideas for your event and the best part about it is that this aspect of the planning is off of your plate.
Now is also a great time to see new product ideas as all of the suppliers in the promotional products industry are launching new catalogs for the 2008 season. There are sure to be a lot of unique new items.

It's not too late to get last minute holiday gifts for employees and clients.

For those of you that think you have waited too long to get your custom-imprinted holiday gifts, you have not. The promotional products industry has stepped up to offer many 24 hour and same day services to get your gift items in a timely manner. While it is still preferred to start in advance, the industry recognizes that this doesn't always happen and has made great efforts to improve services. If you do not want to rush your decision on the perfect holiday gift, here's an idea. Wait until mid-January...the gift will still be appreciated and likely remembered more since it did not come during the traditional holiday deluge.
Whether you are looking for gift ideas or trade show items, Artina Promotional Products has been serving the promotional products industry for 40 years. Give us a call at 800-433-5587 to put our experience to work for you. You may also visit our website at http://www.artina.com/.
