October means baseball and have I seen some great games in this years ALDS and ALCS. No matter who one cheers for it is very exciting!
Speaking of exciting, now is the time to generate business through the end of the year using promotional products successfully. There are many items that can be utilized as the year end nears and the holidays come upon us.
Have you ever used greeting cards? We have many cards from Thanksgiving cards to Christmas cards. Also available are thank you cards for sending customers that all important note to tell them how much you value their business.
Remember too that many businesses give out items like the following: Pens, key tags, hats, knit caps and calendars.
Not only are the above items very popular and also inexpensive in most cases but they are a great way to reach many clients. Items such as food gifts, which are more expensive per item, are a great way to reward clients to tend to purchase more through a given business.
Whichever way a business reaches customers, it is always best to just get a business name "out there" whether it is on a $.48 pen or a $30.00 food gift.

Holiday Cards!
We are nearing the holiday season once again. It is hard to believe this year will be coming to a close soon.
As we near Thanksgiving and Christmas it is time to start thinking about getting those greeting cards ordered. Many people like to order cards for Thanksgiving rather than for Christmas since so many cards are sent for Christmas and seem to get lost in the shuffle. When a Thanksgiving card is sent, it is usually more well received than Christmas cards since there are not many of them sent.
Cards can be found on my website at www.holidaycardwebsite.com/shannonscards . Remember to get enough so that no one is left out this year.
Have a happy and safe holiday season!

Fall is Here
Well now that fall is here things will start to change along with the colors of the leaves. People will start to settle down into their fall/winter mode. This is the time of year when it is good to have winter gear in vehicles.
There are many types of specialty items one can have imprinted with a company logo including ice scrapers for those early morning frosty windows, emergency kits with first aid goods in case of an accident on slick roads. We can also get collapsible shovels that fit just right in even the smallest of trunks.
Remember too that when buying advertising specialty items that one can also include pens, notepads, stick-on calendars, appointment books, planners (for recording mileage for the road warrior). All of these things bear your advertising message.
Whether these items are used to generate new business or simply "thank" a current customer, advertising specialties are critical to any company that wants to remain a viable business for years to come.

Newton Mfg. Co.is 100!
Wow! Talk about a milestone achievement. Newton Manufacturing Company is 100 years old this month!
I just came back from a week long trip to the home office in Newton to celebrate with others in Newton, IA. I spoke with a lot of fellow sales reps and learned much from some of the suppliers that attended the trade show.
We were fed well and got to see many new advertising specialty items at the tradeshow. Let me name just a few. There were notepads, pens, frisbees, antibacterial gels, pencils, lanyards, food gifts, rings, watches, flashlights and totes. There were also letter openers, ice scrapers, calendars, pins, sticky notes and more.
I had a great time and am very pleased that my wife and I were able to participate in the celebration. Go Newton, 100 more years!

Automotive
As the economy slowly starts to recover, so do car sales. A "big ticket" items is not easy to sell in a tough economy but as things start to turnaround they become more popular again.
Items that are great give aways for car dealers are key tags, calendars, pens and jackets. A lot of dealers use floor mats with their imprint as well as decals that identify where a car was purchased and license frames or plates.
Many dealers hold an annual sales drive where they may give away a jacket or hat when a new vehicle is purchased. It is not always the sales manager who buys but also the salesmen who need specialty items to give away.
