Fresh off the heels of 2013’s PPAI Las Vegas Expo, I have a lot of fun finds to share. I made it a point to visit the UV Promo booth. I was intrigued by the fashion and functional aspect of their designs.
Five members of the Pinnacle team headed to Las Vegas on Tuesday to attend the PPAI Expo. It’s one of the largest promotional product tradeshows, with tons of vendors showing off their new 2013 products. Megan and Heather will be back next week to blog about what they saw, but I thought I’d give you a little preview of some cool new stuff that will be making its way to our website shortly.
Lately, I feel like I’m always complaining about the weather in Atlanta but with weekends like the one that just ended it’s hard not to. Our cold spell was broken by temperatures in the high 60’s to mid 70’s. I even saw people in shorts! But today we’re back to rain and the cold. So in honor of this backwards weather, I’ve put together a list of items that would help you recipients transition during these weird weather days.
I know it is January, but I am already dreaming of spring. And we here in Atlanta are expected to reach the upper 60’s later this week! What bliss! Springtime and golf go hand and hand. This past week the PGA Tour hit Hawaii. Check out the latest PGA news here. It’s very cool to see what Nike, Adidas and Callaway gear the pros are sporting.
Whatever the climate on the green, you and your brand will want to look sharp for 2013. Check out these new arrivals from Nike Golf. With Nike’s DRI-Fit fabric technology and on-trend color choices, the recipient will be comfortable and look stylish on and off the course.
My resolution for this new year is to write things down. It’s easy to jot things down on virtual sticky notes or onto my iphone but I still love the idea of writing down with pen and paper my new years resolutions, my grocery lists, and my to-do’s. Not only does it serve as backup in case my phone gets lost or my computer shuts down, it’s good for keeping my penmanship in check. The NeoSkin Hard Cover Journal has caught my eye and I think it would be the perfect addition to any companies promotional lineup.
The journal has nothing but pro’s for me. It’s a good, carry-ready size: not so big that it can’t easily slip into a purse or briefcase but not so small that you have to squint to see the lines. It’s available in eight different colors, with a matching elastic closure and ribbon bookmark. All in all it’s a smart buy, whether you’re handing them out to new employees or seasoned employees getting refreshers on the this years tactics. The NeoSkin journal is sure to have a shelf life long beyond the first day you hand it out.
If you’re looking for an awesome alternative to the NeoSkin Hard Cover Journal make sure to check out the Vienna Soft Bound JournalBook from Pinnacle Promotions!

This is a very exciting time of year for me. January brings a fresh slew of promotional products! It might sound crazy, but with all the newness, some think it is better than Christmas! When I caught a glimpse of the Vista, I knew I had to share it with our blog readers. And we are pretty serious about product selection at Pinnacle. Drinkware is very close to our hearts and we road test many of the items for quality before they make an appearance on our website.
If you are a habitual reader of this blog, you may know that I am obsessed with hats. Remember the Panther Vision Lighted hat? Classic. And working in this industry, I have become immune to basic headwear. I easily know where to find a classic, unstructured, medium profile hat…in 20+ colors! So, when I started noticing a trend working over to the promotional wearables world, I was thrilled. Have you seen the flat bill cap?
While I usually save the product picks for the merchandisers, I couldn’t help but show you one of my favorite new products: the Vino2Go 10 oz.
A wine glass inside of a to-go style tumbler, how cool is that?
Hello there, loyal blog readers! It’s an overcast Monday here in Pinnacle’s hometown of Atlanta and the lack of sunshine is making it hard to concentrate on the work day. So today let’s talk about the best promotional items for when you’re trying to survive the Monday Morning Blues.
One of our Pinterest boards is entitled, “Not a Promotional Product…yet.” and on this board we showcase fun items that we find online that we think would make good promotional products but aren’t.
