Quality OVER Quantity
I often tell my clients, “It is much better to distribute 100 $5 quality items that fit your brand and are valued by the recipient than 500 $1 items that will end up in a brand-fill!”
Stronger every year!
Resilience.
It’s the main reason I am optimistic about Printable's chances of being successful in 2023.
Thank goodness for Human Resources Teams!
Hey, HR Pros: Show me the company swag you sent out this year!

Focus on the POSITIVE of Things!
This is Toby Flenderson’s desk.
Toby is the #HR rep for the Scranton branch of paper distributor Dunder Mifflin on The Office.
Be Different!
Came across this old school vending machine at a Chicago brewery.
It had been retrofitted to no longer offer spider rings in a clear plastic ball (remember those!) but instead to offer some inspiration in the form of a poem from a local poet.
Return on Engagement
Everyone talks about R.O.I. But what about R.O.E.?
In my swag world, R.O.I. means Return on Investment.
Great Things Start from Small Beginnings
Have you ever flown Southwest Airlines?
If you have, chances are you were handed one of these napkins with your in-flight drink.
Giving Voice to your Team

Last year the Printable team visited "The Office Experience" where the world of the TV show comes to life.
How to be the World’s Best boss?
Attention HR Folks, business leaders and entrepreneurs:

“I want to offer gift choices to my (fill-in-the-blank)”
I hear this a lot from my clients.
My solution? Create a Pick-A-Gift shop!

A few years ago, I visited Las Vegas with my teenage daughter to celebrate her acceptance into college. Being a teenager, she has a pretty typical sweet tooth.
So when we passed by a store called I Love Sugar...we just had to go in.
Marketing Rule of 7’s
Hey, marketers, do you think the marketing rule of 7’s still applies today?
How Branded-Merch Boosts Morale
HR Folks: Is it possible to stem the tide of “quiet quitting” with high-end branded merch?
Choose Your Brand’s Reputation
“I just need something cheap to giveaway at an event”.
I scratch my head when a client says this to me.
I have to remind them that their reputation is on the product we choose to represent their brand.
NO to Cash or Gift Cards this Holiday Gifting
HR Professionals: Please don’t give cash or gift cards to employees during Q4!
I think we all can agree that in this current economic climate its harder than ever to find and retain top talent.
So, it’s easy to think that a gift card or cash appreciation gift would be part of the retention elixir.
Let’s Get Cozy!
What’s reusable, warm and glows?
No, it’s not one of my patented Dad jokes, but rather words that describe the characteristics of the items in this super cool “Let’s Get Cozy” kit I recently received from my partners over at Hit Promotional Products.
