QR Codes: The Comeback Kid
In late April, I was asked to talk about QR codes on a podcast conducted by Vincent Driscoll from ASI.
On that podcast, I shared industry case studies of several successful promotions that incorporate QR codes.

Hey, I made a Top 10 list!
The Advertising Specialty Institute recently released its Top 10 Feature Stories of 2021. Number 9 on the list was “Deciphering the Complex Puzzle of Fulfillment”.

“I think I am programmed to be your enemy. I think it is my job to destroy you when it comes to selling paper”.
Dwight replies: “How do I know this isn’t Jim”?

The World’s Most Adorable Brand Exposure

Way to strettttttch your promotional dollars!
We’ve been selling custom-branded 10’ charging cables for years now but I’ve never actually seen one in the wild! This one was spotted at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Spending a little more on a super-comfortable, tastefully decorated tee will ensure that your recipient will wear the shirt many times over, therefore garnering you additional brand exposure.
