Below are the basics for supplying art for your merch order.

Remember - our graphic designers are here to help!

Lately my feed is full of “journal ecosystems” — not just one notebook, but a whole cast of journals with specific roles: memory keeping, goal tracking, brain dump, finance, creativity, even TV shows and reading logs.

Our VP Mitch Silver was interviewed on a podcast a while back. He talked about the secrets of his success in sales, and his words of wisdom still hold true today!

The best merch isn’t always the flashiest or the most expensive. It’s not always a name brand.

The best merch is thoughtful, useful, and makes life a little better!

Travel is ready to make a comeback and keeping PPE related items, cleaners and sanitizers together and organized is going to be a priority.

Yesterday, while leaving work, I passed by someone wearing a Guster T-shirt.

After 28 years helping clients build their brands, we know that promotional products work.

🎸🔥I wanna rock and roll all nite (and cornhole every day)! 🌽 🤘

Event planners: Looking for the perfect universal gift?

I suspect you usually don’t specifically know your audience at the tradeshows, conferences, and other offsite events you plan:

Men? Women?
Older? Younger?
Job title? Level within their organization?

Hey, chocolate lovers!

I always have a couple of Twix up my sleeves…

“When you provide chocolates as promotional gifts, recipients may choose to share them with colleagues, friends or family members,” says Mitch Silver, vice president of sales and marketing for Chicago-based distributor Printable.

Hey, Marketers…Recently I came across these two signs in local business windows.

The candle studio one is a head-scratcher.

Naming your business “The World’s Best” is far too superlative, but “Above Average”?

I think you can aim a little higher 🚀

Last year I was interviewed by Promotional Products Business (PPB) Magazine. 

We discussed how the pandemic shifted “merch gifting” from direct in-person distribution to shipping merch directly to recipient homes.

Warning: Branded Merch in Action!

Recently, my supplier partners over at HPG shared a “Sleep in Kit” with me.

The kit included:

👄A natural beeswax lip moisturizer
👃Bottle of refreshing fabric spray
👁️A luxury sleep mask
👂Ear plugs

Hey, Marketers: Is there such a thing as a bad product launch?
 
Well, some would argue that if people are talking about your product then it’s not a bad idea.
 
That was the case when in July, the French has introduced mustard-flavored Skittles.

Last year I was interviewed by Promotional Products Business (PPB) Magazine. 
 
In that article I talked about how branded merch is uniquely valuable in that it creates an unrivaled level of excitement for those on the receiving end (and even a thank you -- take that digital advertising!)

For most of the clients we work with, ordering branded merch is not their only job. But when they call on us to imprint a product to represent their brand, it has to be right. The merch has to be delivered on time.

Attention Marketers: Branded merchs are not just things. They are memory makers. We’ve all heard the names: Promotional Products Swag Branded Merch But what about Memory Makers?
