Be the talk of the next tradeshow by giving away these delicious Beethoven Truffle candies.  After the first hour or so of investigating the tradeshow floor your clients are defintely going to be looking into there bag for a little treat to power them through the rest of the show.  They will dig into there promo bags for the perfect pick me up.  They will see the mints in the tin, the individual wrapped candies and the bottles of water, standard tradeshow food giveways.  After almost giving up hope, they will find the fancy boxed beethoven truffle candy, that has your company information branded on it, and give it a try.  After the joy it will bring them they are bound to tell there friends or even the random stranger that is passing by.  They will definitly let people know where they got them from and chances are good that they will make a lap past your booth again and that will give you a second opportunity to inform them again of the newest and best that you have for them in 2009. 

As I am sitting at my desk today, I could inquire about the latest mortgage rates, how much it will cost me to get my bathroom done over, order some promotional products or book a day at the local paintball center.    All I have to do is go thru my pen drawer.  The pen is one of the oldest ways to get your message out there which makes it one of the hottest trade show giveaways.  Pens run the gamut in pricing from your $0.47 Bic Clic Stic Retractable for your everyday use to you  $21.12 Parker Frontier Stainless CT Ball Pen when it comes time to sign the important documents.  The collection of pens I have are from some of the most recent tradeshows I have gone to.  Everyone Everyone can use a pen.  My favorite pen today is the Uni-ball Jetstream.  It writes really well and has a stylish sleek black barrel with a blue accent.

New Years is right around the corner and anyone who is anyone celebrates..whether it is in the comfort of your home or Times Sqaure New York.  It is a time to forget about the worries of last year and embrace the new year to start fresh.. so why not get one last BANG !!! We have all kinds of great noisemakers to let you be heard.  my favorite is the 3 Inch Neon Color Metal Cowbells, Item# 22323  it has a large imprint area and can be printed on both sides to get your message across.  So if it is " GOOD BYE 2008 " or " HELLO 2009 "  all I have to say is .. MORE COWBELL !!!

All this rain we are having is really a bummer.  This time a year is for the snowflakes to be falling and the ski mountains to be getting the base for the upcoming ski season.  It is kinda crazy that New Orleans gets hit with a snow storm and New England has flood warnings.  I havn't given up on Mother Nature yet but I think i am going to keep my custom imprinted ice scraper in the trunk and my promotional umbrella riding shotgun and I will have to keep my winter hat in storage for a little longer.

 

put it in one of these, Deco Band Insulated Bottle, and have it stay hot for hours.    How many times have you gotten to the office and you are already behind and you could really use a little extra coffee to get things going.  Make a little extra in the morning before you leave and pack it up for your midmorning pickme up.  This Bottle is the perfect size and is stylish at the same time. 

   

Do you love the idea of caroling but can't carry a tune.. even if you had a suitcase   I can feel your pain.. the only time you will catch me singin' is in the car with the windows up and I am solo.  So this year I have decided that I am going to let the professionals do the singing and send my holiday cards with a cd of holiday songs.  Our Happy Holiday CD card is perfect.  It has great design and some of the most popular songs for the season.  Guaranteed to spread the cheer without the pain.

 

Winter time is hear and the snow is a falling.  Recently places like Mammoth have gotten snow. The northwest has recieved a 60" dump in the mountains and locally Killington ski resort has opened.. WHOOO HOOO. Get the wax out and prep those boards.  Around this time every year to get everyone pumped up for the ski/snowboard season, local indie thearters show ski movies and usually give out some promo items to promote the movie.  This week we saw the new Warren Miller film " Children of Winter". Really cool movie.. if you have an opportunity to see it.. GO.  If you don't like the winter or skiing or snowboarding, I would call you boring and will not share my snack at lunch with you next time we meet, but the movie will amaze you- what the young kids are doing and how skiing has come a long way since the wooden skis.  As we were entering the movie we got our swag bag, because we were one of the first few that had gotten in line.  In the bag we got some cool stuff, bottle of water, bottle opener, a cool hat and the best ( drum roll please ) tickets for a day of skiing !!! Sweet.  Check out the trailer below..I paid for the whole seat but i only needed the edge!

 

 

... only 48 Days, 8 Hours, 39 Minutes, and 37seconds! HURRY HURRY.  I am one of those guys that you will see in the stores on December 24th.  Not This Year.. I am turning over a new leaf.  I have been practicing already.  There is one week, 7 days, till my wife's birthday and all of the gifts are bought, wrapped and bows have been tied.  I am ready to go and I am going to use everyday until the 25th to do my shopping so I can have zero stress and plenty of enjoyment this holiday season.  If you are like me and want to make sure you have what you need for the upcoming holiday season to hand out to clients or for your co workers, Motivators has got you covered!!  We have just launched our FREE HOLIDAY RUSH SERVICE and our BUDGET BUSTER products catagory.  These items are specially priced for the holiday season and production can be as quik as 24hours.  I am officially challenging the Big Guy in Red this year to see if he can deliver as quick as us. 

be safe this year from the ghost and ghouls and of course the dangers of the streets when searching for the treats.  I remember, long long time ago, when I use to go trick or treating we would always carry a handy flashlight and we would always recieve a handy dandy plastic bag with some stock halloween artwork on it from the local community bank or police organization to carry our treats. 

  Pens are everywhere; atms, banks, retail stores, coffee shops, co-worker's desk, etc.. Usually in my travels I accumulate many pens, by the end of the day I usually have at least 1to put in my kitchen drawer.  My collection usally has a mish mosh of local stores or banks that have branded them for promotional purposes.  I don't try to make it a game of collecting different pens, they just seem to migrate towards me.  I still have an "In and Out Burger" pen that I aquired on my recent trip to San Fran.   The cost of pens and the great imprint area and the opportunity for such publicity you cant go wrong.  We have some great pens for under a $1 that you can use for your next event.
