Do you have that pen that may as
well be one of your prized possessions?
One that you will not let anyone borrow because it might “<i>disappear</i>”? I know that you do, or did at one point. That
pen is THE ONE. Why did you like it so much? Was it gold and fancy? Did it write smoother than any other pen? Was
it one with cool features? Whatever the
reason was, you remembered it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That pen probably had a logo or
company name on it. I know that my
favorite pen did. Since it was my favorite one, of course I remember the logo
that was on it too. It turns out that
the pen was branded with the AC/DC logo. It was a shiny metallic blue that lit up when
you clicked it on and off. The letters
were white and the logo was iconic, with the lightning bolt in the middle. It
was the best pen and it “<i>disappeared</i>”. Just like I remember the logo on that pen,
other people and potential customers will remember the logo on their favorite
pen as well. And wouldn’t it be great if
that logo was yours?</div>

do we get ourselves out there, how do we gain more exposure?”</div>

A great pen could be your answer.
That pen may be the reason you get a new customer. You will be exposed to
potential customers, as well as those “<i>magicians</i>
“who pull their “<i>disappearing acts.”</i> Which is unfortunate for the pen owner, or
should I say previous owner now, but great for companies who want that
exposure. Something as simple as the right promotional product can do wonders
for your company. Something as simple as a great pen can help increase your
exposure to the right people and help you increase your sales.</div>

With Custom GiftsThe bobblehead is credited as one of the most coveted and valuable custom gifts - but how does that translate into actual sales? Take a look at the LA Dodgers, who, despite not having the best record in baseball, have the highest attendance in the league. Leading the pack at nearly 46, 000 attendees per game, the west coast team neatly beats out their competitors, the St. Louis Cardinals, by <a href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance" target="_blank">about 3,000 people per game. </a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-90-U0gtaYPU/U7XgjRgd36I/AAAAAAAABIc/9eqdBqJEA_8/s1600/nemarlins10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-90-U0gtaYPU/U7XgjRgd36I/AAAAAAAABIc/9eqdBqJEA_8/s1600/nemarlins10.jpg" height="210" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The reason is simple; more people come to games when there is a custom gift. A unique item can bolster attendance by as much as 15,000 to 20,000 people, and a bobblehead is an envied custom gift among fans. Give attendees and clients a custom gift, and you'll see a boost in sales.<br />

Me too! Nowadays everyone is carrying a water bottle around with them, whether it be to the gym, to classes, or on the subway. It's an eco-friendly option to plastic bottles and also serves as a multitude of traveling advertisements. Personalizing water bottles with your organization's insignia will allow people to take notice as the these mini-billboards are carried around in public. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
presidential election button is inarguably the greatest promotional item ever
crafted by the hands of mere mortals. If
Nixon’s iconic handsome smile could gain national recognition from such a
successful advertising tool, imagine what this item could do for your
organization. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
design of these buttons clearly announces useful information while
simultaneously evoking a pleasant euphoria of “the good ole days” via their
retro imagery. No action proclaims such
a deep unwavering support than brandishing this shiny circular piece of
Americana. Emblazon your client’s attire
with a nostalgic promotional button, and remember that at these prices “I am
not a crook.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rainy days like this one always remind me why I really enjoy working in the promotional product and corporate gift world. We have literally dozens of umbrella samples strewn about the office at all times. I am never stuck in the rain without an umbrella! <br />
<br />
When you give the gift of a custom umbrella, not only do you reinforce your branding, but you are also giving the recipient something so useful that they will want to keep it as long as possible. This works even better when the gift of an umbrella ties in perfectly to the message that your company is trying to send. Take <a href="http://randpc.com/" target="_blank">Rand </a>for example:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCddbT_DKsQ/UdHTM6HMMFI/AAAAAAAABEs/o8GOMNIyw3Q/s800/RANDbrella+Models.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCddbT_DKsQ/UdHTM6HMMFI/AAAAAAAABEs/o8GOMNIyw3Q/s320/RANDbrella+Models.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Their umbrellas are covered in messages about 'stopping leaks' and list some of the services that they offer. This is a brilliant way to use an umbrella as a gift and as a billboard. <br />

Jello is delicious. Vodka is delicious. Jello shots are spectacular.<br />
<br />
However, if you have ever been presented with a jello shot at a party, you know that you must either tear into the cup and use your oral dexterity to take the shot. Or - at the cost of sticky fingers - do what is colloquially referred to as 'the finger scoop'.<br />
<br />
If you have ever seen a delicious spread like this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwX0MM_ARh0/UQLxa9pUi7I/AAAAAAAABDo/NsJbgAdkbYM/s1600/jello+shot+spreat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hwX0MM_ARh0/UQLxa9pUi7I/AAAAAAAABDo/NsJbgAdkbYM/s320/jello+shot+spreat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You know you are in for a treat. And your hands will probably smell like jello for a while... (at least until your hangover wears off).<br />
<br />
Not any more, folks! With this new Promotional Product, your parties will never be the same. Its called the Twist n' Shot. And its less than $1 at about 1,000 pieces. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwIhtz8Y0R8/UQLyLfcp9PI/AAAAAAAABDw/UUxW68fvZGY/s1600/twistnshot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uwIhtz8Y0R8/UQLyLfcp9PI/AAAAAAAABDw/UUxW68fvZGY/s320/twistnshot.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No more sticky faces or fingers. Just twist the rim and your jello shot is free of any hindrances or obstacles. With a sleek imprint surface, your logo will look great and will probably be the only thing remembered the next morning anyway.</div>

This awesome, unique, custom pen jumped right out at me. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-78y2j1YcKf0/UBqpZek14VI/AAAAAAAABCw/2Z4ePB9Ee-I/s1600/ResizedImage_1343924020485.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-78y2j1YcKf0/UBqpZek14VI/AAAAAAAABCw/2Z4ePB9Ee-I/s320/ResizedImage_1343924020485.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The pen itself writes splendidly. I noted as I was leaving a generous tip and signing my check. And the soft-touch coating on the barrel was a nice surprise. But the beauty of this pen is the clicking action. You see, the clicking apparatus seems to be designed after the new resealable top that the beer has <a href="http://www.originalczech.cz/bernard_lager.html" target="_blank">recently adopted</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fh0cEJAmYJw/UBq9qP5YLTI/AAAAAAAABDA/Z9SQlGfy8Fg/s1600/2012-08-02_11-21-20_467.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fh0cEJAmYJw/UBq9qP5YLTI/AAAAAAAABDA/Z9SQlGfy8Fg/s320/2012-08-02_11-21-20_467.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This <a href="http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:Bernard_sv%C3%A1te%C4%8Dn%C3%AD_(Beer-_czech_republic).jpg" target="_blank">Czech beer</a>, <a href="http://www.bernard.cz/en/story/brewery.shtml" target="_blank">Bernard</a>, clearly has a handle on what makes a great and unique custom pen. It's not like this is a pen that they picked from a catalog. Barnard clearly had to design this pen from scratch and completely <a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/" target="_blank">custom manufacture</a> it. Great work guys... Now, I'm regularly pissing off my coworkers by continuously clicking away at this pen because it is so much fun to use! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Now if I could only find a bar that stocks the beer so i can give it a try...</div>

Its happening slowly, but it is <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18358625" target="_blank">happening</a>. This particular article points to Toronto where, soon enough, plastic bags will be banned from stores all together. <br />

On my recent trip to Japan, naturally I grabbed all of the promos that I could. Specifically whilst strolling through the city of <a href="http://www.google.com/maps?q=nagoya+japan&hl=en&ll=35.128894,137.049637&spn=0.339194,0.637894&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=41.903538,81.650391&hnear=Nagoya,+Aichi+Prefecture,+Japan&t=m&z=11" target="_blank">Nagoya</a> in the shopping district of <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3304.html" target="_blank">Sakae</a>, I picked up a couple of items:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MvYtFQ9Cqq4/T32uO2ZJfHI/AAAAAAAABAU/kgOQQsfrWAw/s1600/IMG00456-20120405-1027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MvYtFQ9Cqq4/T32uO2ZJfHI/AAAAAAAABAU/kgOQQsfrWAw/s200/IMG00456-20120405-1027.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
These are packets of tissues. Clearly, they are a useful item. But what are these packs of tissues even telling me?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kYQJN80bkh4/T32uPr-E6fI/AAAAAAAABAc/0B-vmiQhrio/s1600/IMG00457-20120405-1027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kYQJN80bkh4/T32uPr-E6fI/AAAAAAAABAc/0B-vmiQhrio/s200/IMG00457-20120405-1027.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This one seems to be for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pachinko" target="_blank">pachinko </a> arcade. <a href="http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/04/100-yen-documentary/" target="_blank">Arcades </a>in Japan are ridiculously awesome, by the way) This piece was simply a small packet of tissues with a full color insert. Not the highest quality. Its bright and cull of cute characters (it is from Japan, after all), but the poor print quality is mildly unsettling. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_IjrRwW5lg8/T32uQqztvWI/AAAAAAAABAk/-rNxseNCgJk/s1600/IMG00458-20120405-1027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_IjrRwW5lg8/T32uQqztvWI/AAAAAAAABAk/-rNxseNCgJk/s200/IMG00458-20120405-1027.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
But what the heck is this pack of tissues promoting? The branding is printed directly onto the plastic tissue container. and the quality is way better than the paper insert.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WCudVLKdW3U/T32uRgAF38I/AAAAAAAABAs/iqLXWo1-EvU/s1600/IMG00460-20120405-1027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WCudVLKdW3U/T32uRgAF38I/AAAAAAAABAs/iqLXWo1-EvU/s200/IMG00460-20120405-1027.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
There is printing on the front and back. There is plenty of room for info on this promo piece, but who would take the time to read it all? Not me (not like I could read it if I wanted to, anyway).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So what is the point of all of this? It is really easy to give out a promo that you know works because 'everyone else is doing it'. When you work with United Print Group, it's about more than just an effective promotional product. It's about connecting with your audience in a specific way. Not just<br />
catering to anyone with the sniffles who might need a tissue.Tom Sanchezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474920226643815799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686272927458810481.post-24331014942651127902012-03-01T16:52:00.000-05:002012-03-01T16:52:03.219-05:00Japanese Promotional Products<a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/" target="_blank">Promotional Products</a> are ubiquitous. In our daily lives, we rarely pay attention to how many promos we interact with. That is part of the beauty of promotional products. We are constantly interacting with, and taking note of, brands who provide us with promos. And all in a subtle and useful way.<br />
<br />
This is not a uniquely American phenomenon. I recently returned from Japan and I did my best to procure as many promo items as I could. When you cannot read the language, this can be a rather tricky situation because I didn't always know what the promos were touting. So I was in a bar when I spotted this one: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dp43Pl8sYiA/T0_rOEBLGBI/AAAAAAAAA-g/Jocd6TN55X4/s1600/IMG00327-20120215-1648.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dp43Pl8sYiA/T0_rOEBLGBI/AAAAAAAAA-g/Jocd6TN55X4/s320/IMG00327-20120215-1648.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The Japanese are <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/01/02/144451043/japanese-smoking-culture-proves-hard-to-snuff-out" target="_blank">infamous </a>for their love of smoking. This lighter (I have no idea what the website they are telling me to go to is, and I don't intend to find out- especially on my work computer-) is a great promotional product for Japan. Most cigarette smoking goes down inside bars, restaurants, and special smoking sections of buildings. Whenever people gather to smoke, someone always needs a light.<br />
<br />
This, like most promo products in Japan has a QR code. The best way to drive people to your website is to give out something that is often used and shared. The QR code enables someone who is borrowing your lighter to visit the website without having to steal the lighter!<br />

Or the automatic USB desktop back <a href="http://www.promoplace.com/unitedpg/:quicksearch.htm?quicksearchbox=back+scratcher&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=submit">scratcher</a> that they can send you a sample of (OK, this one doesn't actually exist...yet).<br />
<br />
But, when an event marketing company in NYC needed promos for a high tech, innovative, interactive music display, they came to <a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/">United Print Group</a>. Without getting into the boring technical printing details (there are plenty), I can tell you that event sponsors: <a href="http://global.kyocera.com/">Kyocera</a> and <a href="http://virginmobilefestival.com/">Virgin Mobile</a> were quite content with the outcome: <br />

Here are 3 of the most common troubles that I've heard about when people order online, and most importantly, the solutions.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>- <b>Buyer Beware</b></div><div>There are tens of thousands of promotional products. If you ever try searching for a pen on one of these websites, you can get up to 80 pages of search results, no fun. The beware part comes in when your order arrives and the pen that shows up does not look at all like the pen that was on your screen. The pen may have <i>looked </i>like mahogany, but you found out the hard way that it was a cheap plastic imitation, and it doesn't even write well.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The solution: A conversation. When we talk with our clients, we always ask them who their target market is. You can feel comfortable knowing that if you want to impress people with your awesome pen, you will end up with an awesome pen, not a plastic imitation.</div><div><br />
</div><div><b>-It Was the Cheapest Option... At First</b><br />
Many online promo stores will boast that they have the lowest prices. And that can seem to be true, until the bill arrives. I recently heard tale of a lady who went online because the prices seemed to be better. Little did she know that the special price that she saw advertised was for the red pen, not the blue one of the same style that she needed. And by the time she paid extra for the <a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/drupal/content/decorating-types">laser engraving</a> in 2 locations, she ended up spending way more than the advertised price. That is just downright deceptive.<br />
<br />
The Solution: Once again, a conversation with one of our specialists here at United would have cleared all of this up in an instant. Do we claim to have the lowest prices? No, we don't. But we are <a href="http://www.promoplace.com/unitedpg">competitive</a>. And most importantly, our client's invoices don't surprise them.<br />
<br />
<b>-A Day Late, and [many] Dollars Lost:</b><br />
I cannot keep track of the number of times that someone has come to me days before an important event because their on-line store could not accommodate their time constraints. Yes, you were able to save twelve cents per pen for your<a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/drupal/content/trade-show-giveaways"> trade show giveawa</a>y, but what does it matter if the items show up even one day late. Even after just one day, you have already lost out on potential revenue.<br />
<br />
The Solution: You guessed it, call United and talk to us about your time constraints. We will go over a list of items with you that we know that we can produce in time for your event. We wouldn't sell you something that you cannot use.<br />

By then end of the campaign, she had well over 500 rsvp's to her party. And everyone was excited to meet "Charlie the Duck"</div><div><br />

We have recently had the opportunity to provide them with some swag with serious importance. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gQ2jiFPi1G0/ThdeWyirMFI/AAAAAAAAA7c/6bPzctjBc9Y/s1600/2+lines+left+allign.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gQ2jiFPi1G0/ThdeWyirMFI/AAAAAAAAA7c/6bPzctjBc9Y/s320/2+lines+left+allign.JPG" width="283" /></a></div><br />
The sweatshirt doesnt have a lot of copy printed on it, but it doesn't need it. These sweatshirts went to people who needed them.<br />
<br />
And then something happened in my personal life, the lady who lived below me left her stove on. Her apartment caught fire that quickly came up the walls and made a mess of my apt. It was amazing how the Red Cross were on the scene almost instantly to help me out. <br />
<br />
They wrote a blog post about my story:<br />

Well, I don't have that kind of time, and no one wants to read 1,000 words about one of our favorite new products anyway. So take 52 seconds and watch this video about this tablet case and stand. It actually is pretty awesome and useful, especially if you use your iPad for presentations and videos.<br />

These puppies are going fast!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The design is completely knit into the sock, there is no printing here, which makes the sock a long lasting and awesome keep sake!

Which means... Time For The Beach! But how can you spend quality time at the beach and still spread your branding??? Excellent question, lets go through some possibilities.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>1. Write your name in the sand...</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">With Not only 1, but 2 imprint locations, these <a href="http://unitedpg.logomall.com/ProductSearch/QSResults.aspx?DPSV_Id=202016&pSRVC_Id=65&Ntt=talking%20footprint&kid=49962023&Ntk=WordSearch&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=0&No=0&BWS=0|2&Ne=83">stylish flops</a> are sure to get the attention of on lookers. Even better, though are the <a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/drupal/content/decorating-types">debossed </a>outsoles on the bottom of the flop. As you walk, you can leave behind your company logo or message. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Water bottles are just such a great promotion in general. People always use them, put them in their backpacks, or cars and have them for months if not years. With a <a href="http://unitedpg.logomall.com/ProductSearch/QSResults.aspx?Nr=LMSiteEligibility:1&DPSV_Id=202016&pSRVC_Id=65&Ntt=water%20bottle&kid=49962124&Ntk=WordSearch&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=0&No=0&BWS=0|2&Ne=50">slew of styles to choose from</a>, your demographic will definitely find something they like.

I went on believing this for years ... how foolish of me. The best part about March is obviously that it is <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5922358_celebrate-national-umbrella-month.html">National Umbrella Month.</a> <br />
<br />
And how appropriate! If you are anywhere in the tri-state area, just look out side. It's raining c's & d's out there. My favorite part of a heavy rain (other than that destinct smell that fills the air on rainy days) is, of course, checking out people's <a href="http://unitedpg.logomall.com/ProductSearch/QSResults.aspx?DPSV_Id=202016&pSRVC_Id=65&Ntt=umbrella&kid=48364724&Ntk=WordSearch&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=0&No=0&BWS=0|1&Ne=50">promo umbrellas</a>. I saw some great ones this morning; some for financial institutions, some for social media platforms, and even one for Puerto Rico. I guess if you pull out that Puerto Rico imprinted umbrella on a crummy day like today, you and those around you suddenly feel the need for a vacation to a warmer and more tropical climate. Well, it worked on me.Tom Sanchezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474920226643815799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686272927458810481.post-79622498658401482912011-02-08T17:00:00.000-05:002011-02-08T17:00:01.884-05:00Made in America<a href="http://www.facebook.com/barackobama">President Obama</a> recently gave his State of the Union Speech. The President spoke about the importance of American businesses. How we can adapt, how we are strong and how we can do anything.

Sometimes there is nothing worse than an inconsistent message. Had "Made in Oregon" asked us for help on this project, we would have gone with Made in America.

I don't mean big baskets of snacks or buckets of popcorn that people often send around the holidays as a '<a href="http://unitedpg.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-do-you-say-thank-you.html">thank you</a>'. I'm talking about items that you use With food. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Do you want your brand to become a common household name? Look around your kitchen, it is chock-full of brands that have been around forever. If you can give out something that has value in the kitchen, be prepared for greatness... Take, For example, this veggie peeler.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Just knowing that I had this would have helped me sleep more soundly while the snow was pouring down.

Boy, (your company name) really saved my life"!<br />

A <a href="http://www.unitedpg.com/">personalized,</a> etched <a href="http://unitedpg.logomall.com/ProductSearch/QSResults.aspx?DPSV_Id=202016&pSRVC_Id=65&Ntt=etched%20wine&kid=44757379&Ntk=WordSearch&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=0&No=0&BWS=0|2&Ne=50">wine bottle</a>. These bottles are gorgeous! But not everyone drinks, so what now? Well, you also have the option of Maple Syrup, Champaign, and Olive Oil... something for everyone! These bad boys are machine etched and then hand painted to make every word and logo really stand out. Check out the pics:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ZSKKFHWI/AAAAAAAAA5g/pWuKGEPmU1k/s1600/P1010001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ZSKKFHWI/AAAAAAAAA5g/pWuKGEPmU1k/s320/P1010001.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ZZTJVO9I/AAAAAAAAA5k/r7FtFqRrBVw/s1600/P1010006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ZZTJVO9I/AAAAAAAAA5k/r7FtFqRrBVw/s320/P1010006.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Once your logo and message is etched into the bottle, you can then personalize the bottles by name. Imagine your 40 best clients receiving a bottle of wine with your logo etched directly into the glass, and underneath your logo is a message of 'thank you' and their name. This bottle will probably sit on their desk for years, untouched until that day when 8 feet of snow forces everyone to stay overnight at work and every last drop of every thing is drank. Even then though, the empty bottle will persist.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ax7bOItI/AAAAAAAAA5o/diHTcL1Gv4k/s1600/P1010002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mzQDlHMrOYs/TQ_ax7bOItI/AAAAAAAAA5o/diHTcL1Gv4k/s320/P1010002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
