Classic Promo Product Turns 30!

One of the most popular promo products on the market – the Post-It Note – marks its 30th anniversary this month! Of course the 3” x 3” sticky yellow pad has grown and evolved over the past three decades to now include eight standard sizes, 25 shapes and 62 colors, but the appeal of this promo product remains the same. It is an item that has such versatility with its revolutionary repositionable adhesive and moreover is relevant to such a wide range of recipients from corporate executives to stay-at-home mothers. Today they are even sold in over 100 countries across the globe!

Promo Products – An Ode to the Zipper

In my personal opinion, the zipper is one of the greatest inventions ever and its inclusion in the construction of everything from apparel to promo products makes that item instantly better. The invention of the zipper as we know it today is often attributed to Mr. Gideon Sundbäck, a Swedish-born engineer, and his “Hookless Fastener #2,” created in 1914. In terms of promo products , my favorite use of the zipper is as a closure for tote bags. You can sling your tote all around and never worry about its contents falling out with the security of the interlocking teeth of the zipper!

Promo Products for Earth Day (Part 2)

Good thing Pinnacle Promotions offers Rocketship service so in case you have not yet ordered your promo products for Earth Day (remember that’s April 22) – you still have time!

That being said - a few weeks ago I mentioned using eco-friendly products for an Earth Day campaign such as a koozie made from post-consumer materials. Well today I wanted to mention another “green” option – products that save energy. Yes, energy-efficient promo products also fall under the category of Earth Day-worthy. Consider giving away something as simple and inexpensive as a water-powered calculator, imprinted with your company’s name and logo.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game (With Promo Products!)

Today, baseball fans around the country are rejoicing – it’s the first day of the new Major League Baseball season, commonly referred to as Opening Day! People everywhere are sure to be heading to the stadiums to cheer on their favorite team, and they better be accompanied by promo products imprinted with their team’s name and logo. One of the most popular promo products for the Atlanta Braves (my hometown team) is the foam tomahawk, which fans use during the “Tomahawk Chop” – a hand gesture whereby one moves their arm up and down as if chopping with an axe while humming the Braves’ chant.
