Boone's Bets the Farm on Branded Shirts

TEES, THE TRENDY MARKETING TOOL

Was that Kim Kardashian in a Boone's Farm T-shirt? Yes, it was. The socialite is just one of many trendsetters to sport a T-shirt touting the quirky brand. Boone's Farm, the fruit-flavored, inexpensive wine launched in the 1960s, is in the midst of a revival.
Three years ago it launched its "Bring Boone's Back" marketing effort. The goal was to make the brand relevant among influencers. Its marketing tool of choice: the T-shirt. Style-conscious celebrities, deejays and members of the press were seeded with a high-end logoed shirt..

"The branded Boone's Farm T-shirts are an effective marketing tool because they serve as walking billboards for our brand," says Kammy Dosanjh Chahal, assistant marketing manager of E&J Gallo Winery, which owns Boone's. "Simply using posters and serving product is great, but easily ignored by consumers."

Think about giving your logo legs.  T-shirts are hot and at Sullivan's we have the low down style, selection and designs. We would be glad to show you the latest trends in t-shirts!

Flash Drives in a Flash!

Prcing for memory has gone up lately due to the increased demand for micro chips during the holidays (all our toys require chips now).  But there are still specials to be found once in a while.  Email me today to ask about a special that ends Oct 31.

Customized from Head to....

Have you ever designed a hat? From fabric and shape, to color and fit?  One advantage to importing hats is that your hat can be imprinted or customized before the hat is sewn together.  This provides for many more customization options.  Call us today and we will help you come up with the perfect hat for your brand.  There is no reason to settle for a plain embroidered logo on the front of a cap, not when there are so many imprint methods available with custom importing.  The first 25 people to call or email regarding this post will receive a customized sample hat with the design and logos of your choice, no charge, no set up.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Holiday!

Have you started planning your holiday promotional items and gifts yet?

 Sometimes it is easy to forget lead time and shipping time when deciding to send out gifts to your customers, or set up a promotional campaign for the holidays. If you have not really begun to think about your holiday gift giving and promotional products yet, here are some suggestions to help you choose the best products for your needs.

Customer Acknowledgments

One of the most common purposes for using promotional products during the holiday season is to send best wishes to your customers and thank them for their business throughout the year. If you do mostly business to consumer sales or service, you may simply choose to send a holiday greeting card, but if you do, you will be missing out on a great opportunity to promote and advertise your business. Even a gift as simple as a personalized calendar printed with your business name will keep your logo and business in front of your customer every day of the year.

Gifts for Your Staff

Many companies choose to give gifts to their professional and production staff during the holiday season. There are dozens of types of promo products that make excellent holiday gifts for any member of the staff.   Some popular gifts for employees are company jackets or sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch coolers, or winter beanie hats. Personalizing these gifts with the company name or logo makes them more valued as gifts - it's like saying, "You're part of the family".  Your sales force may appreciate a new laptop bag or travel accessory pack.

 Gifts for Corporate/Executive Customers and  Business Contacts

If your company chooses to give corporate or executive gifts to business contacts and corporate customers, Many of the best choices for holiday gift giving are promotional items that are meant for personal use.  There are many gifts that your clients will appreciate.   From knife sets, blankests, digital photo frames, wine sets, food gifts...we would love to give you ideas that fit your price range.

Holiday Promotional Items

Many businesses offer special promotional gifts at the holidays as sales incentives and gift rewards. These might include stress toys in the shape of holiday ornaments, Christmas trees and stars, or coffee mugs with a special holiday message to your customers. Coffee shops might choose to make an annual Christmas mug available during a limited period, for instance, and a confectioner might package their candies in a special promotional holiday tin. Whatever your reason for using promotional gifts during the holidays, you should be aware of time lines.

Holiday Programs

Is your list to diverse to pick one gift to cover all?  Maybe you want to give logo apparel but do not know all the sizes?  We have a solution.  We will put together a holiday gift brochure with your personalized holiday message to give to employees.  They can select an item from the brochure in their size and favorite color, special ordered just for them.  Ask more about custom gift programs.
In order to get the best possible experience and be sure of getting your promotional items on schedule, you should order early and confirm your order well before the holidays. Holiday times are among the busiest times for promotional suppliers, so time lines may be stricter than usual.  Let us help you take the stress of holiday gifts out of your busy season by hand choosing gifts that fit your receipients, your company image and your budget.  Call or email today to get personalized ideas 800-237-3948

The Snuggie goes Viral! Logo Your Snuggle!

They were two of the worst minutes in TV history -- which might be a reason that they were so entertaining -- and we were treated to them nightly: A woman tugs at her sweater, struggling to stay warm in the cold, gray world of her living room. A voice chimes in.

"You want to keep warm when you're feeling chilled, but you don't want to raise your heating bill. Blankets are OK, but they can slip and slide, and when you need to reach for something your hands are trapped inside.

"Now, there's the Snuggie! -- the blanket that has sleeves!"

The commercial in all it's cheesey glory went viral, the Snuggie became a sensation.

There's even an entire website, called Snuggie Sightings that's devoted to pictures, videos, and news about the Snuggie.

There was also a widely distributed photo of a person wearing the Snuggie at President Obama's inauguration.

A Facebook fan group with over 7 thousand members.

So if you are thinking about being the office jokester and giving Snuggies for holiday gifts or if you are just a person who does not want their hands trapped inside their blanket...we have you covered.  There are several new versions of the Snuggie available embroidered with your logo.  Youth and adult sizes, in several colors. 

The Snuggle is perfect when its cold and you want to snuggle up with the paper, watch a movie or read a great book. Large loose sleeves allow for easy movement and the use of your hands while keeping your entire body warm and toasty. 100% polyester, non-pilling fleece. Machine washable. Available with a Front pocket.

Calendar Count Down....Time Release Promotions

We've all heard of "timed-release caplets" right? (Medication formulated to release slowly to sustain its effect.) But what about timed-release marketing?

Promotional products, particularly calendars, are perfect examples of timed-release marketing vehicles. An industry-commissioned study showed that 86% of all calendar recipients could recall the ad message that's hanging on their wall. The average recall of a commercial on TV is around 24%.

Consider this: There are 365 days in a year. If the average person looks at their calendar 12 times a day, this equals 4,380 viewing per year. Take an average calendar cost of just $2.00 and divide it by 4,380 viewings and you come up with a cost-per-impression that's less than half a cent for that calendar.

For the next few months we will countdown to 2010 showing you some of our favorite promotional calendars!
