Specials....are they a good value?
As we all know, people love things that are on special. Promotional products companies run frequent specials to generate more business for themselves. Like anything else, it is important to determine if the "special" you are getting is a good value.
For example, if you receive a special on a bag that is regularly priced at 4.99 and it is on special for 1.99...is that a good value? At first glance it seems like it. It is vital that you ask your promotional products distributor their opinion of the product on special. It is also a good idea, time permitting, to get an actual sample of the item. You may find that the bag that is on special for 1.99, is really only worth 1.99.
This is just one example of how a strong relationship with your promotional products vendor can help you to avoid getting a product that you are not happy with.

Golf Outings
Spring is in the air and golfers everywhere are practicing their swings. Corporate and charity golf outings can be a welcome break from the work week and are a great way to network and give back to your community. For the organizers, golf outings present a unique challenge. You want to provide your participants with items that they can use at the outing but that they will also use after the event.
There are a variety of ways to use promotional products at your event. Most golf outings involve a welcome kit of some kind. A promotional cooler is a great way to present the items to the golfers. You can insert information about your organization as well as any other promotional items that you have purchased or that have been given to you by sponsors. Golf balls, towels and tees are just a few of the items that can be imprinted and given to your golfers.
For the winners of the outing as well as other events within the tournament, such as closest to the pin, there are a wide range of golf awards availble to fit your needs. Another successful promotion is to provide each person with a photo frame to take home. You can take photos of each foursome and give them at the end of the outing with the frame.
Now that you have taken care of the golfers, what about the staff working your event? Providing your team with a logoed shirt or visor is a great way to recognize their hard work as well as make it easy for the golfers to identify them should they need assistance with something.
