This past Thursday January 26th, Ken, Laura, Samantha and myself attended the SAAGNY winter showcase 2012.  The plethora of trade show items were amazing.  Any promotional product you could think of was there.  Any item you may want imprinted they had on display.  It really makes you think about how many of these items you come in contact with every single day.  We all had a great time walking the show and are looking forward to selling many of these item to our customers!

A few weeks ago the gym I belong to (Ballys) was sold to LA Fitness.  Thankfully due to zoning laws, they had to honor Ballys member pricing!  For customers not as lucky as myself and the other Levittown members, they had tons of promotional products to attract new members.  One of those items I found especially unique was the Dumbell squeezie stress reliver promotional stressball.  This will surely be a great way to attract new customers and have their friends discussing this clever promotional product.

For most of us, with every New Year, comes new resolutions. With that being said, I decided it was time to purchase a new scale. After my boyfriend made it clear that just because I was purchasing a new scale, did not mean that the number would go down (Boo!), I went for it anyways. The one we had was older and required a tap before you could get on it. The newer scales allow the "daring" to simply step on for their weight. The old one was black plastic, the new one is glass and sleek looking. Either way, it wasn't an exciting purchase as scales tend to be depressing, but I needed a new scale in my life. Thanks to Amazon's Prime Shipping option, I received my shiny new scale in just 2 days! Opening it with caution, we put in the batteries and got it all set up. To my surprise, the box had more than just the scale I had been expecting. It had none other than a promotional body tape measure! I think I was more excited about the branded body tape measure than the scale itself. I happen to really like the promotional tape measure they selected because the tape locks in place. This makes it easier and more accurate to read. Tip: One important thing to remember about promotional items is that they are most effective when they compliment the business, service or product they accompany. Kudos to Eat Smart for doing just that!
