In my search for hot new products and great corporate holiday gift ideas, I’ve come across some amazing new items.

Promotional Products – The Elleven Series

Imagine, if you would, a corporate professional in today’s day and age. He or she likely owns either a Blackberry (the new Blackberry Torch measures 4.37” x 2.44” closed) or an iPhone (the iPhone 4 measures 4.5” x 2.31”). Maybe they have a Kindle (the latest version is 7.5″ x 4.8″) or Barnes & Noble’s Nook (7.7” x 4.9”) or the latest technological innovation, the iPad (9.56” x 7.47”). They probably have a few USB flash drives (average size 2.25″ x 1″) too. Well with Leed’s (the second largest supplier in the promotional products industry) new Elleven series promotional products and what they have named the “TechTrap” recipients can have a place to store all of their tech gadgets and gizmos of almost any size.

Promotional Smartphone Travel Case to Protect Your Investment

I recently received the iPhone 4 as a birthday gift and it is my first venture into the world of smartphones. I have been using it as a resource tool and also for entertainment value. The first thing I looked for after receiving the phone was, of course, a protective case. Don’t want to throw all that money down the drain by dropping and shattering it everywhere. One of the nicest smartphone cases I have seen introduced into our industry of late,  is our Leather Smartphone Travel Case. This piece would work great for the traveling businessman or woman. It is sleek and professional and even includes a clip so you won’t lose your new baby. I don’t know how I lived so long without my iPhone.

‘Angry Birds’ iPhone App Inspires Promotional Toys and More

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).

Finding just the right unique promotional pens

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.

Custom Water Bottles: For Those Without Boxed Water

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.

For the time being, boxed water is available in a limited number of states. So until Boxed Water Is Better makes it to your city, grab your reusable custom water bottle and fill ‘er up!

Promotional Chocolate for National S’mores Day

Not that chocolate ever really needs a holiday to merit eating it, but in honor of August 10, go ahead and break apart some graham crackers and a Hershey’s bar, open that bag of Kraft Jet-Puffed Marshmallows and light up the campfire (or the stove or the microwave if you have to). Yes today is National S’mores Day and aside from indulging in the campfire treat yourself, you can use it as yet another opportunity to advertise your brand with the promotional chocolate S’mores Kit.

Promotional Games Gear Fans up for ‘Scott Pilgrim’

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the newest addition to the long list of comics-inspired movies, hits theaters this Friday. If the adorable Michael Cera isn’t enough to get you excited about the film, don’t worry – there’s an app for that! Universal Studios has created a game that is reminiscent of  the classic Nintendo game Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, in which Scott falls in love with his dream girl and must defeat 7 ex-boyfriends to win her over. Promotional games are an incredibly versatile way to get fans excited about a product or event – from iPhone apps to custom chess sets, this sort of marketing is a practically foolproof way to engage an audience. Having put myself in Scott’s shoes and tried to defeat all of Ramona’s exes in the virtual realm will sure have me rooting for him from my seat in the theater this weekend!
