OK, so I am back to the holiday gifts. I want to go back to this subject for a couple of reasons. The first one is that the last few days I have seen the exact same commercial and it makes me think of my blog/newsletter every time! The commercial is for Kmart and is advertising their layaway department. If you start shopping now you can put the presents on layaway. . . pay for them little by little. . . and have them paid off in time for the gift giving!!
When I sent out my first newsletter a few weeks ago, I mentioned that many of you might think that it is too early to start thinking of purchasing for the holidays. Well, was I ever wrong! Since then, not only have I seen the Kmart commercial many times, I have also spoken with several different business friends. They told me that they have already started shopping. . .one started shopping in August, another started in September and another has almost all of her shopping completed! WOW! I guess great minds think alike! It is never too early to start thinking about the holiday gifts and Kmart is telling everyone!
The second reason that I wanted to go back to this subject is that there are some really nice options for gift giving with your corporate logo. If you are one of the people that like to give nice gifts but want it to have your logo on it, let me know . . .I can help. I totally understand and have several options.
I mentioned this to the
NAG group this morning but you may not have been there. If that is the case, you are in luck!:) There are many ways to give your friends, family, employees and customers holiday gifts that also can come from the company. The person you give the gift to can advertise for your company all year. Not only that, they also will show that your companies' image is important to you. A nice pen is great but sometimes you want to give something different. If you are looking for a gift that will last, why not put your logo on a nice jacket, fleece pullover, sweater or hat? The person you give it to will wear your logo around town and continue advertising for you!
If you are thinking, "I want to give a nice gift but I do not want it to shout out our logo because then it might not be worn." Do not worry because there are ways to get around that! Logos can be placed in different locations. They do not always have to be on the left chest of a shirt or jacket. You could put them on the sleeve, on the shoulder or the back by the tag. These are nice, different locations to put logos.
Logos can also be embroidered as a tone on tone. This means that the thread used will not be the colors of your logo but will match the color of the garment being embroidered on. For example, if you have a nice brown, suede jacket and you want your logo on it but you want it in the left chest area and you do not really want the bright colors of your logo, we can embroider the logo in a brown a little bit darker or lighter than the brown of the jacket. This way your logo is on it . . it is still visible but it goes well and does not shout out to those that see it! We have done this very successfully for several of our clients. It always looks really nice.
Do I have you thinking? What have you seen embroidered that you really liked?
Do you need some more ideas? Let me know and we can meet!

Have you ever taken a few minutes to think about the referrals that you receive? Referrals are a major way to grow one’s business. In fact, many companies do not advertise and grow simply from networking and referrals. 
g promotional gifts increases business referrals. 
Well, the gift giving season is upon us. Many people have already started their Holiday shopping. This means that the wrapping will begin. I know the normal way to wrap up a gift is with wrapping pap
