Playing with Fire

Maybe it’s because I watched movies like The Godfather, Indiana Jones, and Goodfellas at an impressionable young age, but to me there’s very few things as cool as a Zippo® flip-top lighter. These iconic lighters have lit the cigars of powerful men and intentionally started fires at the homes of their enemies; they distinguished a hero from a villan, and they made for some really cool looking tricks.

Which is why I can’t help but drool over our sturdy selection of lighters, especially the Zippo® Windproof Lighter in Street Chrome.

 

Unlike the rest of our selection which feature slick looking shells, the Street Chrome option has a worn in feel to it that really appeals to me and the fact that it’s a Zippo lets me know that it’s going to work flawlessly. Imagine having your logo laser engraved into the front of this lighter, and your logo being the grooves your customer feels when they run their thumb over their lighter and light up a celebratory smoke. This is one promotional product that will stick with them for years.

Megan’s Product Pick of the Week: Fashionable Office Cardigans

If you work in an office that is anything like mine, you are freezing with out a sweater or blazer. Even though it is pushing 98 degrees outdoors, I find myself dreaming about cozy sweaters, layering and fall (to help me cope with the a/c chill). I have collected some of my favorite cover-ups that are office appropriate. These styles can up your cool quotient and keep you warm at your second home.

The Bella Unisex Triblend Cardigan: This cover-up can work for both sexes. Made from a poly/cotton/rayon blend, the knit is soft and cozy. Think of this as a t-shirt that has fashioned into a cardigan! I recommend embroidery on the chest.

Picnic Refreshers

Summer is starting to wind down, and while that may be unfortunate for the school aged kids, it’s great for emptying the local parks. For me, empty parks mean afternoons spent in a sundress, a floppy hat, and oversized sunglasses while snacking on whatever fits into my tote bag and is easy to haul along with my dog. But now with picnic themed promotional items from Pinnacle, my picnics are going to get an upgrade before the summer is over.

So far my favorite is the Beach Picnic Pack. Despite the name, it doesn’t have to be used just at the beach. The insulated compartment means that my food will stay warm or cool and comes with a complete picnic set for 4.

Best of all, since it comes in three bright summery colors, no matter what color I chose, it’ll match my favorite summertime outfits.

While picnicing it’s also a great idea to bring along a nice blanket for the occasion. If you’re looking for something water resistant, be sure to check out our picnic blanket with water resistant backing. It’s perfect for those that have kids who destroy picnics for fun. Don’t just stop there though, Pinnacle Promotions has a wide variety of picnic items promotional and non-promotional for your picnicing pleasure!

Kim’s Product Pick of the Week: Custom Projects

A little while ago, I blogged about my favorite lunch kits. In that blog – and in Megan’s even before that – we wrote about the super cute BUILT sandwich bag.

I’m still in love with that piece. And I love the BUILT brand. So I probably don’t have to tell you how excited I was the other day when, while browsing the BUILT retail site, I stumbled across these adorable kid’s sandwich bags and lunch bags.

It was love at first sight.

Sadly these cuties are not promo products. While it practically breaks my heart to not offer this on our site, it opens the door to another topic that is worth mentioning: custom promotional products.

Protect Your Cell Phone the Stylish Way

Whether it’s new apps that are available, a better camera or just the appeal of having a new toy, getting a new phone is always fun. When I got my new iPhone the other day, my first order of business was to find great accessories for it.

In this day and age, finding the perfect cell phone case is kind of like finding the perfect bag or sunglasses. The right accessories will make any outfit complete.

My search came to an end when I found the BUILT Neoprene Sleeve. This was exactly what I was looking for. These sleeves are durable (made out of neoprene, the same material as wetsuits!), so your phone stays scratch and ding free and best of all, they are very stylish.

BUILT Neoprene Sleeve

The cases come in three colorful options – fireball, raindrop and graphite grid – and you can have your logo imprinted on either side. I know that if I saw a company giving them away at a tradeshow or event, I would definitely pick one up!

Megan’s Product Pick of the Week: Boxy Tees

I currently in love the look of an easy relaxed flowy t-shirt in a bright color with skinny jeans or cutoffs. Great to layer with a tank underneath in a contrasting color, you easily have the look of color blocking which is so 2012. And the solid color is the perfect backdrop for an amazing summer weight scarf or statement necklace. The Bella Flowy Draped Dolman Tee is elegant and modern at the same time.

Becoming Indiana Jones

This weekend I stumbled onto a showing of the first Indiana Jones movie and immediately cancelled all plans in order to spend the afternoon following one of my cinematic heroes on his quest. I have a love for these movies (except for the last one that, much like the third Godfather and all the new Star Wars movies, I enjoy pretending does not exist) since my father rented them when I was young. And it’s full of things to love: history, mythology, action, Harrison Ford and one really awesome hat.

Now that I’ve begun my own journey into the promotional products industry, I found myself taking a closer look at Indy’s gear. After all you have an entire generation that grew up idolizing Indiana Jones and what better way to give a nod towards youth than by adding some Indy inspired gear to your everyday.

Printed Mints – Get Your Logo or Picture on a Mint

So we’ve all seen promotional mints, mints in imprinted receptacles from metal tins to plastics containers all in varying shapes, colors, and sizes. But have you seen the actual imprint or logo on a mint?!  A couple of years ago M&M’s started offering personalization on their candies; a co-worker at Pinnacle, Kim actually did this for her wedding and it was so fun to actually see the bride and groom’s faces on the colorful candy treats.  Now we are able to offer this same fun concept on a refreshing mint!

Each mint is 0.5” W x 0.5” H which allows you a 0.33” W x 0.33” H full color imprint. Oh the possibilities with this new product… you could use a photograph, your mascot, letters, product images, and of course your logo.

Here are some of my favorite printed mint options:

Silder Tin with Printed Mints

Printed Mints Candy Bag with Header Card

Zagasnacks™ Pack Promo Bag with Printed Mints - 5"

Do something unexpected with your promotional items… give them the, “oh, that’s cute” moment in their day when they open up their mint container to see these unique mints.
