You’ve seen these collapsible water bottles before. Usually they are thinly lined flat plastic bottles. However, the new Neoprene Flexi-Bottle is a little different. It’s the same flexible, foldable water bottle that you’ve seen but this one has a neoprene sleeve that covers the PE pouch. Therefor it keeps your drink colder longer.

I know…it borders on animal cruelty, but we were only trying to make them fabulous. The Sweatshirt Water Bottle dresses things up in a non-traumatizing way; specifically, with a “hoodie” for your water bottle. It is a BPA-free, biodegradable water bottle covered with a hooded sweatshirt. Plus, there’s a front pocket on it to hold things, such as your tickets to the big college game. It’s perfect for any school market, fitness program, sport events … Continue Reading

Not everyone is interested in football. Personally, I’m one of those people who will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday for the commercials and halftime. Of course, I’m joining the party for the beer and junk food too, but that’s another story.

“According to a survey released… by the National Sports Marketing Network, which has 7,000 members representing sports marketing agencies, the sports leagues and TV networks, … Continue Reading

Using Promo Items for Mastering the 30-Second Pitch

For every sales pitch the goal is to captivate your prospective clients with an important and compelling message. Here are some tips on mastering your 30-second pitch, also know as the elevator pitch.

Studies show that advertising specialties are very impressionable and 8 out of 10 people remember the advertiser by the promo gift they’ve received. For example, a promotional stress ball is a great … Continue Reading
