I am always open to inventive product suggestions. I get a thrill out of finding a truly unique product in the industry these days. I vividly recall the day that the promotional slap watch entered my life, and the day that I got my very own hoodie wearing water bottle.Reflecting on these discoveries, I continue to seek out the latest, greatest unique promotional products and obviously subsequent blog topics!
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about a cool iPhone app called ‘Pilgrim’s Punch-Out’, inspired by the film (which was inspired by the graphic novel) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. This time, it’s the other way around: the popular ‘Angry Birds’ game app, which has sold over 6.5 million times downloads, aims to expand its franchise to movies, television, and even promotional toys. Rovio, the Finnish company behind the hit game, plans to create sequels and more versions of the ‘Angry Birds’ game to keep customers engaged with its characters and storyline, according to Variety. An animated YouTube trailer created to kick off this campaign (featured above) has over 5 million views, an encouraging statistic as the company moves forward in its brave endeavor. As Rovio CEO told Variety Daily, “There will be a huge concentration of games coming to smart phones… We hope we can be the first major franchise to come from mobile” (Variety).

Working in the promotional industry, we get bombarded with new product samples regularly. Promotional pens are one of the most common products that we get to see a variety of styles and colors in. Personally I don’t need anything overly heavy or fancy like a brass executive pen. I prefer to have unique promotional pens that write well above all and are comfortable to hold when doing so. My favorite pen at the moment and has been since I received a sample, is the Zebra promotional candy pen. It looks simple and comes in three fun colors, but I swear this pen writes so well and is so lightweight I could write all day.

I personally never leave home without my custom water bottle. It’s my eco-friendly, every day staple. The 34 oz. bottle helps me get my 8 cups a day and the resilient plastic is great for being tossed onto the floorboard of my car.
While I have my favorite piece of promotional drinkware, many people across the country still rely on bottled water as their portable means of hydration.
Knowing the market for pure, filtered water is ever-growing, Boxed Water Is Better set out to develop a new form of bottled water that exceeded the norm for the bottled water industry – focusing on making the most efficient and environmentally-friendly product possible. The outcome of their labor of love? Boxed drinking water.
Drinking water in a box? Who would of guessed.

With all the news media surrounding Rod Blagojevich’s trial, the former Illinois governor’s lawyers probably don’t need any help drawing attention to their firms. But if representing a high profile ex-government official accused on 24 counts of corruption isn’t your style, there is a whole bevy of legal promotional products available to assist with new customer generation and brand awareness.

After writing about CuervoGames Atlanta for last week’s weekend guide, there was no way I was going to miss this awesome event. Teams of four spent the afternoon climbing a rock wall while water poured down on them at a rate of 8 gallons a second, collecting ‘agave leaves’ while suspended 30 feet in the air, and mixing up boozy concoctions with an impressive variety of Jose Cuervo tequila. Entry was free (but limited to the first 20 teams to show up) and team members received matching custom tees emblazoned with the CuervoGames logo, which made it easy for them to keep track of one another even during the Barrel Roll. Event staff and the Cuervo Girls were also outfitted in a variety of tequila-themed promotional apparel for the event.
