This week's fabulous Friday favorite is this Ice Scraper Mitt from our friends at A.A. Advertising.

Although Vancouver temperatures are generally warm, compared to other parts of Canada, we still need to scrape off a thin layer of ice from our windshields every so often...and if any of you are like me [born and raised in Vancouver, BC], you'd prefer not to get your hands cold n' wet, if at all possible. This is why this item is my favorite!

This Little Light of Mine...

2011-10-25T09:18:00.000-07:00

With Halloween quickly approaching, I find myself rifling through drawers testing the flashlights I've been able to recover. Used once or twice a year, at best, most of the flashlights I have contain dead batteries. That got me thinking....what if I had a solar flashlight?

I sure wish I knew about these great solar powered flashlights from our friends at A.A.Advertising! First, there's this classic solar LED flashlight which has an elongated solar panel for constant daylight charging. It's currently on special for $14.99 ea. and that includes a logo laser engraved on the handle [See details HERE]

There's also this contour solar dual LED flashlight which has a comfortable design and a large panel for constant daylight charging too! This one is currently on special for $6.99 ea., which includes a one color imprint on the handle [See details HERE].

This week, I'd like to focus on office mishaps; those involving food or beverages that make their way to your lapel, sleeve, or kneecap in a single bound!

Recently, I found myself with a few splashes of coffee on one of my favorite blouses. With an appointment time nearing, I began rummaging through the showroom cupboards for a tube of SPOT OUT Mini - the instant stain remover. Like the bandaid dispenser I tracked down for an agonising ankle blister [thanks to new shoes] the week before, SPOT OUT saved the day! I managed to remove the stain in a few short minutes and nobody was the wiser.

Just what is SPOT OUT? SPOT OUT Mini is a convenient instant stain remover that contains 100% biodegradable ingredients in a recyled plastic container.

Right now, this item is available with up to a 4 color logo imprint on the label for as little as $2.25 each. There are 9 cap colors to choose from. Note: There is a $50 one time set-up charge for new logos but FREE GROUND FREIGHT is available [within Canada only].

"Let us TREAT you to [insert your product/service here]". Use as a party favor at special events or as a school fundraiser.

Be a Safe Pedestrian...

2011-10-11T11:26:00.000-07:00

According to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, approximately 2,700 pedestrians are injured in car crashes, on a 5 year average. Sure, city councillors are implementing safety measures, which include speed reduction on commuter routes, but pedestrians need to do their part to ensure their safety when visibility is low: at dusk or in bad weather.

This means crossing only at marked crosswalks, looking left and right, making eye contact with drivers, and preferably wearing reflective clothing.

Did you know that a driver travelling at 60 MPH needs over 250 feet to stop? Wearing reflectors increases pedestrian visibility by a factor of five.

Our friends at A.A.Advertising offer numerous options for the safety conscious pedestrian, including jackets, shirts, vests, & caps all with Reflective piping.

Looking for a low-cost alternative? Why not consider zip-tag reflectors, like these...

The Halloween reflectors are perfect for little goblins -- attach to their jacket zipper with ease [available for as low as $0.98 ea.]. Also available are the "Be Safe, Be Seen" Zip-Tags, which include one large zipper reflector, plus two shoe lace tag reflectors [available for as low as $1.39 ea.] Have them packed in "Safety Cards" for added value [at a cost of $0.28 ea card]!

A University of Michigan safety study concluded that retro-reflectors increased pedestrian nightime recognition distances to motorists by 60% - 80%.

Refective Zip Tags are perfect for insurance brokers, schools [as part of a "walk safe" program], malls, restaurants, or any other retail venue.

For the next couple of weeks, I'll be focusing on kid-friendly promotional products to help keep little ones safe while out trick or treating! First up, this BRIGHT IDEA from our friends at A.A.Advertising -- the Safety Flasher with LED Light.

Fasten this Safety Flasher to a treat bag, costume, or jacket to keep the little ghosts and goblins safe! It's far easier [not to mention less expensive] than those glow sticks and, when Halloween is over, it can be used as a rear bicycle light or even take it camping to cordone off any dangerous areas around your campsite. Keep one in your emergency kit at home and one in the glove box of your car in case of fire, flood or earthquake so that you can use it as a signaling device.

Available in two colors [red and blue], the Safety Flasher has 2 different flash displays and a built-in LED mini-flash light too. The sturdy clip makes it easy to fasten to almost anything and for as little as $1.79 ea., you can light up your logo, brand or message for pennies an impression :)

This item is perfect if you’re organizing a fundraising run, charity walk, 24 hour relay event, or promoting Halloween safety for children. Insurance companies, financial institutions, and event organizers will love this useful, compact safety item!

If you're an eco-conscious business or organization looking to increase awareness through direct mail, you're likely looking for alternatives that will lessen your impact on the earth.

Seed paper business cards can be printed for as little as 0.50 ea., Bookmarks for as little as 0.70 ea. and Postcards for as little as 0.95 ea., all made from 100% post-industrial, recycled paper and dyed with all-natural, vegetable-based pigments.

Have you ever placed something on your car roof because you needed a free pair of hands to get your kids situated in the car or load groceries or school books in your backseat? Has said item ever slipped your mind and then inevitably sent flying into the street as you pull away? Well, I have. Thankfully, the only casualty, so far, has been a travel tumbler full of hot coffee! *knock on wood*

Recently, a fella from Minnesota drove off with his laptop on his roof. Once he hit the interstate, his laptop was air born. Thankfully, an honest driver saw the laptop fly off the roof of a car and pulled over to pick it up. Long story short, an ad on Craigslist and word of mouth eventually reunited the owner with his beloved laptop. Read the full story HERE!

The incredible part about the whole mishap, wasn't just that the laptop was returned to its rightful owner, but that the laptop didn't have a scratch on it, after becoming one with the interstate pavement! Why? Well the theory is that it was protected by an air mesh laptop sleeve, like this one, from our friends at A.A. Advertising.

A sleeve, similar to the one featured in the article, sells for $7.50 ea. and can be tastefully decorated [either silkscreened or embroidered] with your logo or brand. This laptop sleeve holds a 15" laptop and is also airport friendly, since it unfolds to lay flat on the x-ray belt with ease.

This item is perfect for insurance brokers, real estate agents, students, or for the savvy travelling salesman.

Please note that I'm not suggesting you store your laptop [in sleeve] on your automobile rooftop or toss it from a moving car [this guy was very lucky his laptop was returned to him unscathed]

Now that the warmer months have a firm foothold, it's time to think about ways to stay cool in the summer sun!

One of the most sought after items, this time of year, are ball caps made from COOLMAX® Active performance fast wicking fabric! What is COOLMAX®? COOLMAX® is the performance fabric that includes an effective fiber-based moisture management system.

The sturdy curved peak shields delicate eyes from the sun too!

Promotional COOLMAX® caps would make a great addition to any summertime campaign! They're affordable, available within 5-10 days [decorated] and come in a variety of attractive colors!

Why not outfit the baseball team you're sponsoring, golf tournament attendees, or your own corporate sports team, with embroidered COOLMAX® caps from A.A. Advertising?

A pen can say so much... but if you're a company marketing your brand or launching a new product or service on a pen [which, incidentally, is the number 1 most popular promotional product in the advertising world, followed by calendars and keychains!], often the 1 1/2" x 1" barrel imprint area is not enough to say much of anything, short of your logo.

Enter a ballpoint pen with a twist [or a tug, if you will!] ~ The Banner Pen! This ballpoint pen comes with a pullout ad sheet that, when fully extended, can spotlight your product and/or service in full-color on one side, and pricing or other details on the other! The best part is, the banner sheet rolls right back up into the barrel, in a snap! The barrel, of course, would carry your logo or brand

You can get a ton of mileage out of this product for just a buck n’ change! Perfect for auto dealers, hair salons, restaurants, insurance brokers, financial institutions, law firms, real estate agents, or anyone that has something to say and needs ample space to say it!

Pens grow legs too, adding even more miles to your product and/or service message!

Trees. They produce oxygen. They filter carbon. They muffle urban noise. They slow storm water runoff. They fight soil erosion. They shade and cool. They provide perches from which birds sing and protective cover for wildlife. Without trees, I wouldn't be here to write this blog post and you wouldn't be here to read it.

Imagine, for a moment, that we wouldn't need to cut down trees, and either chemically or mechanically separate the fibers from wood, to make paper. What if there was something like wood pulp [paper] that wasn't actually wood pulp [paper]? "Wood'nt" that be great?

This week, I'm featuring a promotional product that always adds up ~ the promotional calculator.

Over the last several years, calculators have been integrated into a plethora of different formats, including: key chains, rulers, magnets, mousepads, jotters/notebooks, journals, clipboards, business card holders, and so much more. Still, at the end of the day, the basic calculator wins the race, whether it's solar or battery powered!

Calculators are more affordable than ever but still carry a high perceived value. Take this solar powered calculator, for instance! It's our most popular style and it's available in quantities of only 50 for under $3 and that includes your one colour imprint! How's that for crunching numbers?!

Calculators are perfect for financial institutions, financial planners, accountants, mortgage and insurance brokers, auto dealers/leasing, to name just a few. The truth is, any industry could tie a calculator into their next marketing campaign, by adding a slogan like "Service That Adds Up" or "Count on Us"!

Can you think of a way to include a calculator in your next promotional campaign? Let us help you by tapping into even more of our calculating ideas.... Contact us today!

Next Stop: Memory Lane!

2011-05-03T07:00:00.000-07:00

Since the early 80s, digital cameras have become increasingly sophisticated and more widely available, allowing photographers to easily capture and save their images on a digital memory card, and upload to a computer for later review. Select photos can now be printed quickly and with minimal expense.

Today, more and more people are using digital photography to record and remember those special moments: Timmy receiving his Little League MVP Award, Edward rock climbing during the corporate team building exercise, or the sales team shaking hands with vendors at the company golf tournament.

If you're organizing or participating in a corporate trade show, workshop, team building event, client appreciation dinner, or any other company function, why not encase the best photo in a picture frame, decorated with your logo, and presenting one to each of the participants? Want to recognize a salesperson or employee? Add a message of appreciation and turn the picture frame into an award, instantly. This Executive Photo Envelope serves as a perfect way to commemorate an achievement!

Our picture frames are available in acrylic, leatherette, metal, wood, recycled paper, or digital and are available in a variety of price ranges.

Let us help you create a lasting impression by adding picture frames to your next promotion or awards campaign. Contact us today!

Happy Easter!

Meeting the Easter Bunny
by Rowena Bennett

On Easter morn at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.

"Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house
and 'bout the house a-lighlty I am going."

"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.

"Tis chocolate eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day.

He perked his ears
and winked his eye and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail -- what tail he had --
and stood up on his toes.

"I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime."
-- So he hippety-hopped away.

All of us at A.A.Advertising Ltd. would like to wish y'all a very happy Easter!

Happy Earth Day!

2011-04-22T07:00:00.000-07:00

We interrupt today's regular scheduled programming [Fabulous Friday Favorites] to wish y'all a very happy Earth Day! How will you make a difference today? Check out these ideas for ways you can make every day Earth Day:

Replace your next burned-out light bulb with a compact fluorescent one. It would save 660lbs of CO2 emissions, per year. Fluorescent bulbs also last six times longer than standard incandescent ones and use 75% less energy because they use less heat.

Use reusable bags! They are a better option and high-quality reusable shopping bags or totes are produced from materials that don't harm the environment and don't need to be discarded after each use.

Consider purchasing clothing made from organic materials. If you purchase one pair of jeans and a t-shirt made from 100% organic material, it would mean eliminating 150 grams of fertilizers and pesticides from the environment.

Try installing water filters on your faucets to ensure that your tap water is 100% clean! Also use a reusable water bottle. You'll also save money and the planet by not polluting it with more plastic bottles.

Purchase your produce from local farm markets. Not only will the fruits and veggies be fresher, but you'll cut down on vehicle emissions by staying close to home.

Jute Totes: Why I like ‘em!

2011-04-19T07:00:00.000-07:00

If I were to describe a jute tote in four words, words like biodegradable, reusable, recyclable, and sustainable would come to mind. With the price of cotton on the rise, jute is an affordable, quality alternative with exceptional environmentally friendly attributes!

About Jute: Jute is grown in flood prone areas of Bangladesh and India. It's inexpensive to grow and requires little fertilizer or pesticides. Jute cultivation is rich in organic nutrients which prevent soil degradation and ensures agricultural sustainability. This natural fiber is then harvested and spun into coarse, strong threads that can be woven into fabric. Jute is second to cotton, in terms of production, variety of uses, global consumption and availability.

Jute totes are extremely durable and offer a substantial imprint area to accentuate your brand or message. The best part is, these totes are 100% biodegradable!

Although the jute tote is available in a variety of attractive colors, the natural tote still comes out on top. This particular tote, shown at left, is available in 5 earthy colors! Priced at $2.99 ea, including your one color imprint, it’s clear to see why I like ‘em and why you should too!

2011-04-12T07:00:00.001-07:00

Kermit the Frog coined the phrase, "It's not easy being green", back in 1969, but today, more and more of us are finding ways to be green. While auto manufacturers are focusing their efforts on developing affordable vehicles powered by alternative fuel, [electric and gas-electric hybrids] we, as individuals, are taking steps to lessen our impact on the environment. Thanks, in no small part, to organized worldwide events, such as Earth Hour and Earth Day, both of which build awareness and inspire and mobilize citizens and organizations to take steps toward environmental protection and sustainability.

This April 22 marks the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. This year, the Earth Day Organization is challenging us all to pledge an "act of green" [an act as large as organizing a shoreline cleanup, or as small as changing lightbulbs to energy efficient ones, or planting a garden]. As of today, individuals have pledged 80, 469, 312 acts of green and counting!

Although Earth Day is a good reason to pledge for the planet, many of us are making everyday Earth Day by recycling, reducing, and reusing, both in the workplace and at home; while encouraging customers, vendors, and employees to do the same. How can we do this efficiently, affordably, and in an eco-responsible manner? The answer: use eco-responsible promotional products to not only show our own corporate commitment, but help increase awareness!

Reduce: Switch to using organic cotton canvas or PET Non-woven bags instead of nylon or plastic ones! Eco-responsible grocery totes, for example, are durable, spacious, inexpensive, reusable, and offer endless decorating possibilities. Imagine if we all said "Bye Bye" to plastic grocery bags forever?!

Reuse: Switch to using a reusable travel tumbler! Add a full-wrap eco message, with your logo, and include a package of organic coffee, for a tasteful "wake up call". Stainless steel water bottles are also available with an eco-message. Everyone loves to receive an imaginatively decorated mug or water bottle!

Encourage them to plant a tree or grow a garden of wildflowers! You could even provide the necessary tools to tend to them!

If we all reduce, recycle, reuse, bike to work, use energy-efficient light bulbs, and buy local produce, we can all make a difference!

Killing Germs the Eco-friendly Way...

2011-04-05T07:00:00.001-07:00

Just the other day, I came across an interesting promotional product ~ the CleanWave Sanitizer Wand.

Now, according to the manufacturer, this product eliminates up to 99.9% of viruses (including H1N1), bacteria (including MRSA), germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs on surfaces. Eliminate germs on doorknobs, remote controls, keyboards and electronics in seconds. Sanitize surfaces in public restrooms, plane and train headrests, hotel room surfaces and more.

The device uses UV-C light, to disrupt the DNA in each cell, causing the internal structure of the dangerous cells to collapse. Almost instantly, these disease-causing organisms are rendered harmless! Safety shut-off guards against unwanted exposure to eyes and skin. A built-in timer allows for precise exposure times of 5 or 60 minutes

Sounds exciting but, does it work?

Well, check out this video!

The minimum order quantity is only 10 units @ $56.00 ea, including your 1 colour imprint on one side. Not a cheap product but you could do away with germs without using harsh chemicals!

I'm really excited about this weeks Favorite ~ Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic Bags! Why? My friends and family will tell you that if there's one thing I personally dislike, it's all things plastic! Whether it be excessive or unnecessary over-packaging or non-reusable water bottles, I refuse to buy them all! I haven't used a plastic grocery bag in years [using reusable non-woven PET shopping totes instead!]

The short film about "The Life Cycle of a Plastic Bag" really drove home the idea of never using another plastic shopping bag again!

That is...until now!

We have found shopping bags made from Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic, which is also referred to as "degradable" plastic. This material does not require a biological process to degrade. Microrganisms will speed up the degradation process, but they're not required. This gives oxo-biodegradation a distinct advantage over prior methods for degrading plastic!

These bags will start to degrade in about 2 years, depending on the exposure to UV light and heat. However, if stored inside, it's likely they will remain usable for 5+ years.

Degrades fastest in the situation we want them to...when they become litter!

Look and feel like regular plastic, and are just as durable. You won't notice a difference until the bag has been exposed to UV light or heat for prolonged periods of time.

They do not emit methane in landfills.

For more information on this type of plastic, see this article.

These bags are available with a high resolution digital print. A natural fit for those of you in the travel & tourism business. Great as grab bags at trade shows, exhibitions, and other special events too!

Available in a variety of sizes, with patch or loop handles, these bags are not only eco-friendly, but inexpensive too!

Spring is a time for rebirth, renewal, and regrowth ~ the bulbs, planted the year before, start to poke their heads out of the dull landscape; the birds seem to sing a little louder too. Grey skies give way to blue...as people trade indoors for out, whether it be for day hikes, picnics in the park, or a fun corporate baseball or soccer tournament!

What a great time to start the year off running with a promotional strategy tailored for the season! As people start to head outdoors, make sure they take one of your useful promotional items with them!

Made from Tritan Copolyester, this bottle features a patented filter and freezer stick system which reduces chlorine taste and other impurities. It can filter up to 150 gallons of water before being replaced. Water flows easily through the built in straw and filter, to produce cold, great tasting water.

A Go-Anywhere Fold-up Lounge Chair that comes with it's own matching carrying case would be perfect for the golf tournament prize table, for special outdoor events, or corporate barbeques and ball tournaments!

A pair of colourful rubber binoculars would be perfect for bird watching clubs or sporting events!

Sometimes, a little rain must fall, but we have you covered with a colouful assortment of promotional umbrellas - Stick? Windproof? Folding? We have 'em all. Everyone needs an umbrella and these offer plenty of room for branding!

Saying "Thank You" with pizzazz....

2011-03-15T07:00:00.000-07:00

When we were kids, our parents always taught us the importance of good manners: Chew with your mouth closed, no elbows on the dinner table, and always remember to say "please" and "thank you". I have pretty much perfected chewing with my mouth closed and keeping my elbows off the dinner table, but occasionally, simply saying, "thank you" doesn’t feel adequate. Sometimes, someone will "bend over backwards" to provide exceptional customer service, a client will entrust me with a large order, or an employee will stay after hours to get the job done. How do you say “thank you” with more than just words?

Why not add a small gift, as a token of your appreciation?

Giving someone a tangible gift reminds the recipient of your identity and generosity, over time. Add your logo, name, and even the recipient’s name and you’ve got a powerful “thank you” with some real meat n’ potatoes. Try a tastefully decorated water bottle or a notebook….

Surveys have found that people who received a tastefully decorated gift expressed more good will toward the sender than those who did not receive one. Gifts help build relationships; make yours a memorable one.

Let us help you develop a "thank you" program with the POW factor! ~ Contact us today!

QR Codes ~ What Are They?

2011-03-10T07:53:00.000-08:00

Chances are, you've seen them in newspapers, magazines, catalogues and other paper-based publications: two-dimensional bar codes called quick response codes (QR codes).

What are they? They're essentially paper-based hyperlinks that can be read using a free barcode scanner application, designed for your smartphone. Simply take a picture of the QR code and the application decodes it and directs you to a website using your cell phone's browser.

No more mental notes to "google" this or "google" that when you get back to your desktop computer. Get information on-the-go, instantly.

In our own promotional products industry, many manufacturers have embraced this technology by including QR codes in their catalogues and flyers. Often, the codes lead to product specials on their websites not available anywhere else.

We have also included QR codes on promotional products handed out at our events, so our clients can get more information about the product they've received. Let us help you incorporate QR codes into your next promotional campaign ~ Contact us today!
