Red Cross, Non-Profit, and Charity Swag

Working with an organization like the America Red Cross of Greater NY is inspiring and uplifting.  We have recently had the opportunity to provide them with some swag with serious importance.

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.

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.

They wrote a blog post about my story:

So here is my post to them.  Thanks!!

Tablet Stand for iPads, etc.

They say a picture is worth 1,000 words.  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.

Corporate Beach Promotions

The seasons have started to finally change here in NYC.  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.

1. Write your name in the sand...

...With these awesome Flip Flops!

With Not only 1, but 2 imprint locations, these stylish flops are sure to get the attention of on lookers.  Even better, though are the debossed outsoles on the bottom of the flop.  As you walk, you can leave behind your company logo or message.  

2.  Stay Hydrated!

'Cause sea water just isn't tasty.

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 slew of styles to choose from, your demographic will definitely find something they like.  Plus!  It's hiking/camping/fishing/biking season, people need their water!

3.  Stay Dry

Or just lay down and get some sun.

Everyone needs a towel at the beach.  You have got to have one.  This beautiful lime green towel with a ghosted imprint is the perfect way to get your message out, without shouting to the world that you have a promotional towel.  It still stands out enough to send a message (and boy is this towel soft and comfy too!).

4. Remember Everything

Let's get digital, digital...

Wow, what an Epic weekend at the beach!  Uh oh, there are definitely some pictures that I don't want to end up on Facebook...  what to do??  No problem, with this branded digital picture frame (and remote), lets get the pics straight from your digi-cam to the picture frame.  No one on your Facebook page has to know what you look like without a shirt after a dozen Bud Light Limes, but you will never forget (if you can remember).

Have any Beach Promotion Suggestions?  Don't hold back, lets hear your ideas!

National Umbrella Month

As long as I could remember, the best part about March was always that it contained my Birthday.  I went on believing this for years ...  how foolish of me.  The best part about March is obviously that it is National Umbrella Month. 

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 promo umbrellas.  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.
