Best deal on Lip Balm - Ever

Seriously. I have never seen pricing for lip balm this low. The supplier that I typically recommend based on quality and customer service - their lowest price is $1.18 each for 250 quantity.

Humphrey line (also a very reputable company) is offering lip balm for below end quantity pricing. For 250 quantity, you can get one color imprinted lip balm for $.80 each! Wow. Never seen it like that.

This is a great promotional item. I use lip balm for my own giveaways, and love it. One of my other customers never runs out of imprinted lip balm because they have customers who come in asking for it!

Call me for details on how you can take advantage of this great offer. I can email you the flyer if you'd like to see the rest of the details, on part of the flyer is shown above. (Standard shipping, tax and screen charges apply.)

And don't forget about getting your holiday cards before the month runs out to save an additional 10% (see post below).

Cheers!

Holiday Cards Extra 10% off through October

I can't believe that October is here. The season is changing here in Utah. We're wearing long sleeves and turning our heater on at night!

Now is the time of year when I'm working with clients all over the U.S. to find the PERFECT holiday gift or card to thank employees and clients for a wonderful year.

According to Hallmark, customers are 66% more likely to buy from a company or vendor that sent them a holiday card. Can you afford to loose on this business? What's great about the holiday cards you get from Doodads is that you can customize the message and/or add a company logo.

Times are tough. They are tough for homes and companies alike. I'm finding a trend that businesses are turning to Holiday Cards to let customers know that they are thinking of them during the season. They are sometimes cheaper than a tangible gift, but still sends the message "I care about the business relationship we've grown over the year".

The important thing is that you do something. You don't have to spend a lot of money to say thank you at this time of year.

Oh, and one more thing. ALL holiday card purchases made before October 30th will receive and additional 10% off Doodads already lower prices. (Call me to see the card options available!)

Let me know how I can help you find a way to celebrate and thank your clients, customers and employees for the holidays, give me a call!

Happy Holidays,

Michelle
