Tomorrow is May 4th. May the 4th be with you! Get it? According to Wikipedia, May 4th is considered a holiday by Star Wars fans and a day where they can celebrate Star Wars culture and honor the films. And what better way to show off their affinity for Star Wars than with promotional products.
Unsurprisingly, all the most popular product categories are represented when it comes to Star Wars merchandise.
You’ve got tote bags….
And to let you in on a secret, I don’t even think I’ve ever seen Star Wars. I know, I know.

April showers bring May flowers. And what do May flowers bring? Allergies! At least if you live in Atlanta, they do.
I’d like to point out that a high pollen count is anywhere from 50-499 while extremely high is 500+. Did you catch the pollen count on April 11th? What??
According to a list compiled by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Atlanta only ranks as number 72 on the list. 71 cities that have more pollen than we do? I can’t even imagine. Our cars look like this in the spring…
And while that’s a pretty cool photo, that’s a LOT of pollen on that car’s windshield. So, since this type of pollen doesn’t even crack the Top 50, you must be wondering what the top ten cities are, right?
1. Jackson, MS
2. Knoxville, TN
3. Chattanooga, TN
4. McAllen, TX
5. Louisville, KY
6. Wichita, KS
7. Dayton, OH
8. Memphis, TN
9. Oklahoma City, OK
10. Baton Rouge, LA
With warmer temperatures come fun outdoor events. Here in Atlanta, there’s an arts festival almost every weekend. And while other companies are handing out t-shirts and sunglasses, why not cater toward your more allergic customers and customers-to-be. Don’t get me wrong, I love a pair of promotional sunglasses as much as the next guy, but if I’m sneezing up a storm, I’m really going to be grateful to the company who provided me with promotional tissues.
Ah-choo!

If you’re left-handed, like I am, this is probably all too familiar:
I have pretty terrible handwriting to begin with, add the lefty smudging, and it doesn’t make for a pretty thank you note. (Sorry to those of you who have actually received a thank you note from me!) So, with around 50 promotional pens on my desk, I set out on a mission. Find the pen the has the least amount of smudging when used by a left-handed person.
So, I didn’t test all 50 of them, but I grabbed a sample and honestly had no clue which would come out on top. The winner:
The Eco-Green Paper Barrel Pen had the least amount of smudging out of all the pens that I tested out! And just in time for Earth Day too, right? It’s a sign!
Are you a lefty? Do you have a favorite pen that doesn’t smudge?

Have you checked out our Deal of the Month for April? It’s the SPF 30 Jumbo Sunscreen Tube.
The weather in April is fickle. If you’re down in the South like we are, Mother Nature seemed to forget spring entirely and jumped from winter straight into summer with temps jumping from the 40 and 50s to the 80s with nothing in-between! However, I know that some of you are still dealing with hail and snow so thoughts of summer rays are far from your mind.
But even if you’re dealing with a winter that just won’t quit, we’re well into spring and days spent outside at the pool or lake are closer than you think. This sunscreen is perfect for sticking into your purse or bag so you can put it on when you need. Since it comes in a tube and isn’t liquid-y, there’s no danger of it spilling. Because there’s nothing more fun than reaching into your purse for some change and pulling out a glob of sunscreen-covered money, right? (That needs the sarcasm font.) With a tropical or coconut breeze scent, just the smell will remind you of being in your happy, sun-drenched place, wherever that may be. (And for those of you who prefer your happy place to be scent-free, there’s that option too.)
Do you follow Pinnacle on Facebook? If not, you should because not only do we post links to new items, sales and general fun stuff, but we also do giveaways from time to time and last week, we gave away 20 of these sunscreens to our Facebook fans. For our giveaway, we asked where they would use their promotional sunscreen and here are some of the answers we received:
• For the beach rays
• At the beach/lake/pool
• Sitting in [the] yard enjoying the sun
• At the bleach (we hope this meant beach!!)
Where would you use your promotional sunscreen? Aside from the beach, I’d use mine at a festival, concert, baseball game and road race. Pretty much anytime I’m outside, this sunscreen is going to come in handy. Lucky for me, I have one in my purse.
