Energy-Saving Promo Products


Did you know that 30% of corporate computers are left on unnecessarily overnight? And one PC monitor left switched on overnight wastes enough energy to laser print 800 pieces of paper. You can help your company conserve more energy, and in turn save more money, by distributing energy-saving promo products. One such product is a computer power saver button. This item puts a computer in "ecomode" with a press of a button to help conserve energy. It actually saves more energy than standard sleep mode on a computer. Other such energy-saving promo products include water or solar-powered items like clocks and calculators. You can even purchase promotional conservation sets that come with energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs, a refrigerator thermometer that displays the optimal temperature for a refrigerator to help conserve energy and save money, and a gift box that doubles as a battery disposal box.

You could also use such promo products to create energy-saving awareness externally by distributing these items to your customers. Any recipient would certainly be happy to see that your company is doping its part in energy conservation and encouraging others to do so as well. You can create a marketing campaign centered around the theme of energy conservation anytime throughout the year, or you can choose to plan to launch such a campaign in the month of October which is Energy Awareness Month. There are so many benefits to energy-saving promotional items from promoting your business, and promoting energy conservation, to saving your company money!

Promo Products – When Fun Meets Function


I often write about how important it is that the promo products one chooses be functional. If the items are truly functional, then the recipient is likely to use the product, bringing you more advertising exposure for your brand. I want to make sure, however, that I am in no way excluding the possibility that promo products can be both fun and functional. For example, pens are classic promotional items as they are very practical products that can be used by almost anyone. But “goofy pens” those with bobble heads and suction cup feet can prove to be just as useful with an added element of fun!

The more that promo products are used, the more your company’s name and logo gets seen, and thus the more advertising impressions your business can make.

Promo Products for the Netbook and More


Inc.Com recently posted an article titled, “Got a Netbook? Now You Need Accessories,” in which the first sentence reads, “Okay, so you've outfitted your mobile employees with inexpensive netbooks, but there are a few recommended accoutrements you should consider to help them remain productive while on the go.” One of these recommended accessories is headsets – which led me to realize how great headsets can be as promo products.
