Bethmmpromos's Blog Bringing promotional ideas to you!

It took me a while to get the hang of this item and appreciate how awesome it is. I walk around and I see people with phones in their pockets, jackets, trying to not have to carry too much with them but always needing an ID or credit card or even a hotel room key. Attach this to the back of them phone and you know have access to your ID, cards and more. What a novel idea.

Silicone smart wallet contains convenient slots to hold credit cards, ID cards and cash (holds up to 3 cards securely). Its 3M adhesive backing allows user to stick it to any model cell phone. Perfect for travel, concerts, beach days, or a night on the town!

Everyone knows by  now how MMP loves to promote sustainable practices and promotional items. See below for one story and idea.

Energy Companies Promote Green Practices With ReTreads^®

 Bulbrite recently partnered with Energy Star and the New York State Energy Research and Development Association (NYSERDA) program to promote energy efficiency products in New York. Bulbrite offered Energy Star-approved compact fluorescents to its distributors throughout the state at deeply discounted prices. With each order, educational pamphlets, as well as the Vynex^® ReTreads^® counter mats (made from recycled materials), were included, promoting the many benefits of energy saving light bulbs. By offering discounted prices, as well as providing educational materials, Bulbrite distributors promoted energy efficiency while passing along the savings to the consumers.

Healthy Eating Promotion Gains Headway with Counter Mats

There is nothing better than promoting healthy eating to our youth. Teach and show portion control with the counter mats and plates.

In order to remind Americans to make wiser choices when it comes to portion control as well as what to eat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) launched the My Plate campaign in mid-2011 with an image of a plate that breaks down how much food individuals should be eating from each food group. The campaign, which is meant to serve as an icon for Americans, is also being used by the American Heart Association, which has put the My Plate image on counter mats and placed them at grocery stores around the country to encourage and remind U.S. citizens of how easily a healthy lifestyle can be obtained. The ChooseMyPlate.gov logo was imprinted onto a 10” x 15” BarelyThere™ counter mat, which sits flush to the counter with a 0.020” thickness, allowing individuals to still place items and sign checks/receipts on the counter.

Did you wake up this morning wondering what today was? I am here to answer that question and tell you that it is National Toast Marshmallow Day. I wonder who came up with that one. Anyway, there is no better time to celebrate than Labor Day Weekend which many think of starting today.
Let’s celebrate with a Smore’s Kit great for families, parties and more. Can’t wait to have mine today.

The North End Sport_® and North End Sport_® Blue product lines continue to push boundaries in the new catalog with state-of-the-art, retail-inspired styles. While North End Sport_® delivers unrestricted, active-inspired designs, North End Sport_® Blue blends city sophistication with uncompromising outdoor performance and functionality. The VENTILATE: North End Sport_® Seam-Sealed Insulated Jacket (88680/78680) not only shields individuals from cold temperatures with features such as a neck warmer system and storm cuffs, but is also loaded with other on-trend components, such as laser perforation at the collar, a clear plastic ski pass holder with snaps, and a detachable cloth system to clean eye wear. For a stylish city look, the ENROUTE: North End Sport_® Blue Textured Insulated Jacket (88684/78684) combines sophistication with practicality. This hooded outerwear piece features an inside shockcord waist system to create a tailored fit, while providing both warmth and protection with UTK warm.logik_™ Heat Reflect lining and water resistant capabilities.

The North End_® brand includes new garments that are carefully designed to the finest detail, while keeping individuals looking professional and ready to work. The Extreme_® collection continues to keep comfort and protection in mind by offering superior quality polos, crew necks and active tops, with performance features such as moisture wicking, antimicrobial and snag protection. The FUSE SHIRT: North End_® Color-Block Twill Shirt (87042/77042) not only includes UV protection for sun-safety, but features a handy pen slot for added convenience.

The 2014 Ash City styles are also accompanied by the latest developments in technology: UTK warm.logik_™ with Heat Reflect Technology, Quick Dry performance and Snag Protection Plus+. Through research using unique lab testing methods, UTK warm.logik_™ with Heat Reflect Technology provides a higher level of thermal comfort and warmth without the bulk, for increased ease of movement. Quick Dry performance takes moisture wicking to the next level, by pulling moisture at an accelerated rate away from the body up to the surface, making it easier and faster to dry, while Snag Protection Plus + offers greater protection against snags, by utilizing heavier fabrics that are sturdier and provide a more structured drape.

A personal safety
flare is an unusual idea
for a promotional product in June isn’t it?

Imagine people walking around towns big and small

carrying personal safety flares.

Well…Reflectix has them.

They’re called clipsters and they easily transfer from

one garment to another.  They clip onto skirts and

pants, collars, sleeves, sweaters…you name it.

You can view them by going to

http://reflectixsolutions.com/clipsters.html

And when they’re worn it’s just like wearing a

personal safety flare which can be seen from

500 feet away.

Crossing a street or even

walking in a parking lot at night can be hazardous.

These are excellent products to present to all of your

education/school clients for the upcoming school year.

Wearing a clipster from Reflectix keeps people/kids safe

and alive with flare! 

I’d like to send you some clipster samples…
