What is it?

Today's email blast is full of new items that were unveiled at the PPAI tradeshow we attended last week. And here is one more that I would like to show you. But instead of telling you what it is I would like to play a little game. If you can tell me how you use this product I will send you a prize!! Just email me at liz@pawmarketing.com with your thoughts on how this little item works!!

I think this is pretty clever and I am sure if you decide to purchase some for your company they will hang around for at least seven months which is the average amount of time a recipient uses a promotional product. That is seven months worth of exposure for less than $2.00 each!

New Products from Las Vegas

The sales team is here in Las Vegas and we have finished our first day of the tradeshow. So many things to see, it is amazing! Here are a few of our favorite items so far:

Squared Away Mini Tote from Atchison for BIC:

This is a very cute tote bag with a unique design and added bonus bag. You can see more information at:

Ceramic Paper Cup from BIC

The next item we found to be unique is a ceramic coffee mug that looks like the paper version you get at a coffee shop.

The last item I have for this post is my favorite. It is a S'mores Kit from Midnite Snax. Since this product is so new I don't have an image but I do have a link to their website with some additional information.

I look forwarding to posting soon with some additional new items.

Calling all Bargain Shoppers

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, next week the sales crew will be heading off to Vegas for the PPAI Expo. I am very excited to see all of the new products and see what will be "hot" for 2009. In preparation of all of the new products and inventory the suppliers are emptying their shelves. This means some incredible closeout deals for you!!! Here is a link to one of our preferred suppliers Starline, they have a large assortment of closeouts available and many of them still have good inventory levels. You can check them out at: http://www.starline.com/default.aspx?pg=endofline&pgn=1.

You can use the $50.00 credit on these closeouts too if you get your order in by Friday!!

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2009! I hope everyone had a wonderful time ringing in the New Year, I know I did! Now it is back to work and time to start thinking about what's to come in 2009. In a couple of weeks (January 12th-16th) Perry and I will be taking off to Las Vegas for the largest promotional products show in our industry. It is huge! This is where get to see products in person and find out what suppliers have for new products. We get a lot of ideas from this show so it is really helpful to know what events you will be looking for items for this year. Send myself or Perry an email with a list of events you have in 2009 and we will get back with some ideas based off of what we find at the show. I will also be blogging from the show with the top items I see each day so check in to see my picks!
