Man That's Good!

Food as a promotional tool works on so many levels...Whereas most promotional products stimulate one, maybe two of our five senses, food on the other hand, does much more. It stimulates taste - "mmm mmm", sight - "that looks delicious", sound - "now that's crunchy", and smell - "that smells amazing". That's four out of the five senses!

Custom Engraved Chocolate

As a thank you, or as a holiday gift, a nice basket filled with chocolates or nuts... Or both, is always welcomed. But, have them topped off with a custom printed ribbon, and you've now made it your own, personalized it, and turned it into a great way to get your brand or name out there. A custom printed box or jar of goodies, whether chocolate, nuts, candy, etc., can also go a long way. 

However, if you are looking for full customization or personalization, custom engraved chocolate or custom printed candy is sure to stir up a conversation... That is, in between bites :).

Bamboo Cheese Board


Food items don't always have to actually be food. We recently provided bamboo cheese boards with their logo laser engraved on them to a client out west that builds high end custom homes. The idea here is when they complete a home, they present a cheese board as a sort of house warming gift for the buyers. I bet those clients of theirs will remember them for a long time. What a great way to leave a lasting impression.

Stubborn Promo Items

With such a huge selection of promotional products out there for us to choose from, it's understandable that over the years many items have come and gone... Yet others seem to be timeless.

But why do some items remain stubbornly popular even over the long-term? When I recommend (or receive) promo items, I get excited by those items that are actually useful. In my mind, it's simple. The more useful an item is, the less likely it'll end up in the trash can soon after it's handed out. And isn't that the point of giving promotional products to your associates, customers, business partners, employees, or prospects? You want those items out there being used, being appreciated...Being seen!

Below is a list of the most popular promotional products in Canada as well as other fun facts. It's no coincidence that they are also highly useful, with writing instruments at the very top;
