Special on Imprinted T-Shirts

One of my top suppliers is offering even greater discounts through the end of the year on imprinted T-Shirts. I know you can't see all the pricing and details in the attached, but call or email me and I'll send you the pdf. For 24 quantity, cost is $5.40 each (white) or $7.30 each (colors) and the per unit cost goes down for quantities of 48, 72 and so on. Price includes a one color one location imprint (more can be added). It's a great deal and a great idea for family reunions, trade show giveaways holiday gifts for clients and employees or rolling out a new product. Give me a call to take advantage of this and other great ideas!

Event Marketing Still Going Strong

Many companies have made it no secret that they are cutting their advertising and marketing budgets. However, one area that appears to be somewhat insulated is event marketing. A recent study says events and meetings are playing an increasingly crucial role in the marketing mix despite the current economic conditions. This is good news for ad specialty distributors who are tapped to provide products for these events.

Fifty-three percent of the 1,000 senior level marketers surveyed said event marketing "is the discipline that best accelerates and deepens relationships with target audiences." Slightly more than a quarter (26 percent), said it drives the greatest return-on-investment—up 4% from 2007. The EventView 2009: North America report was conducted by an independent third party research firm on behalf of the Meeting Professionals International Foundation, the Event Marketing Institute and George P. Johnson.

"The underlying theme of the 2009 EventView data is that smart marketers will answer the call of their bosses to drive business as soon as possible," says David Rich, senior vice president for strategic marketing/worldwide at the event marketing company George P. Johnson. "This is best accomplished by accelerating the shift away from passive and interruptive marketing tactics and moving as quickly as possible to the more targeted, direct and engaging strategy of brand experiences that in and of themselves deliver value to the prospect or customer."

About a third of survey respondents (32%) also said events are a vital part of their marketing plans.

$.60 cents or less! - Specials on Pens from BIC

Hi there! Just wanted to share with you some great Trade Show Specials on pens. I have over 100 pens on sale as part of the Trade Show Sale, but I wanted to highlight BIC's new SOLIS line. I've always loved BICs quality, and the Solis line is fun and hip with unique pen design - they are sure to stand out!

Not only are they under a $.60 each, but they are keeping the catalog minimum of 300! Typically when pen companies offer discounts, they increase the minimum order so that their per order price stays about the same. Not BIC, and that's just one reason why I love them.

So why not stock up on pens, today? Give me a call. If you'd like to see more of the pens on sale during our Trade Show promotion give me a call. We also have Golf Items, bags, desk accessories and more. Over 500 products on special to get you ready for upcoming events! 801.592.1101

Some fine print. There is a screen charge of $25.00. Shipping/Handling and tax are not included but tax is based on your local tax rate and shipping is determined based on weight. And I have a coupon that I can give to one lucky customer for a FREE screen charge with the purchase of 750 pens or more!

This special is only good through March, 2009.
