Retail giants and local mom & pop establishments alike are slowly but surely gearing up for the great American tradition that is Black Friday. “Leaked” versions of store circulars advertising all of the best deals have been popping up on Black Friday sites since early November, and many savvy shoppers have already started working on detailed schedules that will get them the best combination of early bird specials, promotional giveaways, and more at the crack of dawn (or earlier!) next Friday morning.
Seasonal Marketing Ideas
Relieve Holiday Tension with Promotional Lotions
Christmas will be here before we know it and the pricing wars have already begun for the best deals on everything from electronics to toys. The holiday season is supposed to be a joyous time with friends and family, but for most, stress levels rise higher than any other time of year. Give your employees and customers a chance to relax with promotional lotions. The soothing Menthol fragrance in the promotional stress relief lotions will help calm even the most frazzled mind. Ingredients such as Eucalyptus and Spearmint are also available in stress relief lotions and would work well to promote health and wellness programs your company may be trying to initiate. Season’s Greetings.

Keep Off Holiday Weight Gain with Promotional Pedometers
The Holiday season is upon us, Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away and many of us will be indulging in all the yummy goodies. Whether you are already on a diet or just want to maintain your weight, there are plenty of easy activities to keep the number on your scale from rising. Walking is one of the easiest, low impact activities we can do and promotional pedometers can be a great tool to monitor your success. Promotional pedometers can be simple or multi-functional depending on your needs. They are great for any industry, especially healthcare, to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. So go ahead and get that extra serving of stuffing, just remember to snap on your pedometer and go for a brisk stroll thereafter.

Edible Promotional Meats and Cheeses to Accompany Your Edible Fashion
I found an article on Yahoo discussing food as a fashion statement. We all know about Lady Gaga’s meat dress from a few months back, but she wasn’t the first to rock food as a fashion accessory. Edible promotional meats and cheeses are always a good choice, because everyone loves to get treats, especially around this time of year. So it is perfectly understandable why the fashion industry would follow suit, models could stand to eat something every once in a while. Just as the images from the article show all different sorts of foods used for the designs, edible promotional products are more than just a bowl of mints. From hand-dipped chocolate covered cookies to an entire gift basket of meats and cheeses, edible promotional products can cover all the bases for corporate holiday gift ideas or as a customer thank you gift anytime of year. Bon Appetit!

Promotional Products Turned Last Minute Halloween Costumes
So this Sunday children (and adults) will don meat dresses and hair poofs among other accoutrements and go parading around cities and neighborhoods throughout the country in honor of All Hallow’s Eve. And while this year’s most overdone costumes are indeed likely to be homemade versions of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Lady Gaga, for those of you still pondering what guises to wear I have compiled a list of promotional products you may find lying around the house that can make for the perfect Halloween costume.

Nickelodeon Getaway: SpongeBob Meet and Greet, Promotional Chocolate and More
As October comes to a close in a few weeks, it’s time to start planning for the holiday season. Purchasing corporate holiday gifts for clients and employees? Check (if you haven’t crossed this off the list yet, consider photo frames, wine accessories or food gifts). Next on the list? Booking a holiday getaway for the family. This year there are many fun vacation options that I wish had been available to me as a child, including the Nickelodeon package at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in Phoenix. For two nights, families can participate in trivia and a “sliming,” watch Nickelodeon shows by the pool, create Nick-themed arts and crafts projects, and receive a pillowcase and special gift (which may be turn-down service and promotional chocolate), all before meeting SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer for a special goodbye.
Cookie Promotional Snacks to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
It is hard to believe it is almost Halloween, seems like just yesterday, we were at the beginning of 2010. Once we get through October, holiday season will be in full swing. You know what that means, lots and lots of food and times with your families. It also means time to get ideas for gifts to customers and clients. Cookie promotional snacks are a great way to show your customers appreciation for all their business over the years. Everyone loves getting treats and most people give up on their diets to indulge during the holidays. There are so many new varieties of promotional snacks we have just introduced that you can please even the pickiest eater.
Bundle Up This Fall with Custom Blankets
Football season is officially starting this weekend and I am super excited for the weather to cool down and start enjoying the tailgating and team rivalries. Custom blankets are a great way to show your team spirit especially if you are supporting your local high school teams. Schools can earn funds to support their programs by selling custom blankets to the faculty and parents of the students. Not only will the parents be proud to sport their child’s team colors, but they will also be comfy and cozy throughout the season. Custom blankets are great item the entire family can share and even take along for any other outdoor Fall activities.
