I was lucky to attend a Braves game last night with a friend who got tickets from her job. We “watched” the game from an air-conditioned suite, gorging on free food and drink, as well as sorting through the advertising giveaways we received from the rep who was hosting us.
Conceptual Devices shows you how to transform your hooded sweatshirt into a laptop bag in 20 seconds. It’s pretty amazing and looks easy enough. Great idea for techie hipsters, college co-eds or anyone caught out on the town without their computer bag.

Yesterday co-blogger Sarah and I participated in the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) “Take Steps Walk,” at Centennial Olympic Park joining thousands of others at over 100 Walk sites that will gather across the country this spring and summer in the fight against Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
The walk was not short of supporters – and of course promotional products. (See Sarah and I sporting our promotional gear at the walk below.)
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd. It is just getting full swing into baseball season and what could go better with your pretzel and beer than a promotional products giveaway at the field. I am planning to attend this Sunday’s game of the Atlanta Braves against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both teams are having a pretty bad season so far, but our Braves are coming off of a three game winning streak, so perhaps they can ride the momentum through this series to regain some confidence. It is always more fun when your team wins, but I enjoy myself win or lose. I tend to get more excited about catching a home run ball or getting the promotional products swag they give out to fans before the games. I even have a miniature promotional baseball bat, that is probably one of the best promotional product giveaways I have ever gotten at a baseball game.
Where does a billboard go when it has reached the end of it’s days as a large-scale advertisement?
Unfortunately the majority of these literal advertising giants end up occupying tons of space in our country’s landfills. Now, however, thanks to some ingenious creativity, corporate advertisers can get even more bang for their billboard-advertising bucks. Made of durable, weather-resistant vinyl, the large format artwork of billboards can now be transformed from a prominent outdoor advertising medium into colorful and unique promotional bags.

As I mentioned in a Nashville themed blog post last November, Nashville, Tennessee is one of my all-time favorite cities. While I only spent a short period of time there, I was devastated to hear about the floods that swept through the vibrant city. My heart goes out to all of the victims, but especially to my friend Jamie’s grandparents, who have temporarily relocated to her house in Atlanta while their house is repaired.

When I heard Toro y Moi at a free show at Vacation Gallery & Boutique in January, I had never heard of the guy and was really only going to have something to do. The space was tight — I was squeezed up next to a rack of vintage dresses — and some technical problems cut the show short after only a couple of sets, but… it. was. awesome.
It’s not often that I like an artist after the first listen, but Toro y Moi is one of those exceptions. As one commenter on the YouTube page for the video above pointed out with surprising clarity, “Theres some music that human beings cant resist” [sic].
Tomorrow night Toro y Moi will open for Caribou at The Earl, whose schedule declares emphatically that tickets are SOLD OUT!
(Learn more below about Toro y Moi and how indie bands should use promotional products to support word-of-mouth marketing.) Keep reading.
Every girl knows that planning a wedding is a lot of work. From finding the perfect dress to the best wedding favors (see Stephania’s blog post for ideas on promotional products giveaways), there are many factors to consider. These days, it seems as though one of the most important features of the wedding- after the ceremony and vows of course- is a couple’s first dance.

Today is a bittersweet day for me as it marks the two-year anniversary since the day I graduated from college at Emory University. A few vivid memories stand out in my mind from that day – one of which involves a promotional product:
