Snapperbait - screen printing

[Kiwi Phil]

I wish for some free advice here Snapperbait, if you don't mind.<br />In my business, my wife calls on a chain of Supermarkets, and deals with a Dept Manager, and a Lowly Worker who maintains our stock in their section.(male and female).<br />We have done the 'printed pen' trick for a few years, and they are appreciative (especially as they never recieve any free-bees from anyone else).<br />I am looking for ideas to move away from the pens.<br />Shirts etc our out.Don't like them.<br />We were wondering about umbrellas, golf type. Are they a go-er?<br /><br />Our theory is, whatever we 'give away' <br />1). must be useable outside of work<br />2). must be attractive/stylish<br />3). our logo must be small and tastefull, so it dosn't dominate the item.<br />4). Something the reciever will 'appreciate' and use.<br />5). We don't need to advertise our product loudly. Our customer IS the Dept Manager and Lowly Section Worker. They are the ones who give us the order; my wife works closely with them to get product displayed well, maintained properly etc, etc, so we wish to reward them.<br />Any "Free" ideas? <br />Cheers<br />Phillip

You can never go wrong with a good "ball cap".

That's true on the ball cap idea. My father has been a walking billboard for years now.

I use him for all of my shirts as well.<br />He's worth shipping across the country for.

If you are looking to reward, rather than advertise, perhaps a free lapdance is in order. <br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />Perhaps a gift certificate to a a restaurant?<br />Everyone appreciates a good meal, and they will think of you everytime they pass by, or think about going out to eat. <br />Even if it is only at a sandwich shop, it will be remembered.

Hiya, Kiwi.. Promotonial items (pens, umbrellas, doo-dads, ect.) are a little out of my area of expertise.. I'm just a t-shirt printing, grunt.. <br /><br />Personaly, I like the hat/baseball cap idea, if it's appropriate that is...<br /><br />I would think umbrellas would be a good one...<br />Coffee mugs of various types, or something of that nature, might be worth looking into... Travel mugs...<br /><br />There is so much out there in the "ad specialties" area that it's really rediculous.... Boggles the mind..

Yep, Snapper's stuff is good. I personally know he has product in Ghana and the US.
