Adco Marketing Promotional Items & Promotional Products

10,000 products in 48 hours or less with logo. If you're in a hurry, that budget you've been waiting for has finally come through, and your tradeshow is in two days, call Adco Marketing at 888-332-ADCO.  For rush promotional items you've come to the right place!  Adco Marketing produces over 10,000 items in 48 hours or less.

When ordering rush promotional items remember to not compromise on quality.  A pen quickly produced is not necessarily a good pen or the best pen you can buy for your budget.  Take the time to talk to experts who have written with the pens and actually seen the items you are looking for.  When you are in a hurry, it's easy to simply say "I need tote bags Thursday".  Just one additional question can save so much headache later - what is the best quality tote bag I can get for under $3 each?

Rush promotional items are available throughout the web and yet it's hard to know who to trust. Your company image is on the line, maybe even your job.  You want someone you can trust, who will truly come through for you, right?  We've got the experience to produce all your rush promotional items. Give Adco Marketing a call at 888-332-ADCO.

It is the season for basketball promotional products!  These items range from basketball stressballs, yo-yos, koozies, notepads and more.  Lots of fun slogans can be used with your promotional basketball events including "shoot for success", and "Aim High".  Ask our knowledgeable sales reps for ideas!

 Our pricing for a basketball promotional product is oustanding with items on sale all year round.  A basketball coaster for as low as $1.70 each can be used as a pre event mailer or to couple with a basketball mug.  Even our basketball flyers (like a foldable frisbee) make for great basketball mailers as well.

Custom umbrellas under twenty dollars by Adco Marketing.  Ok, so you don't really want a custom umbrella under five dollars - trust me in umbrellas you get what you pay for.  However custom umbrellas under twenty dollars and even under ten dollars give you a lot of leeway in your promotional product purchases.

 Need a custom folding umbrella?  Our custom folding umbrellas include cases that can be imprinted and ties as well.  We always advise to imprint the sleeve or the tie of the umbrella since 90% of the time those custom umbrellas stay closed!  We love our new custom umbrella with the full color logo in the handle for just that reason.   Whether you want a custom etched handle umbrella, a printed sleeve umbrella or a regular golf umbrella,  Adco Marketing is the place to start.

Custom tote bags available in 24 hours!  How can we do it?  How much of a hurry are you in?  Rush tote bag production has vastly changed in the last few yers.  Producing rush tote bags used to be impossible without very expensive rush charges.   When I started this business 10 working days was considered a rush!  We have over 200 tote bags that can be printed and shipped for you in one day.  One of our most popular custom tote bags is our new grocery nonwoven recyclable tote bag.  Available in 15 colors and at under $2 a great deal.  Rush tote bags don't have to be just one color anymore either!  In fact our custom tote bags now have nice alternating trim, long handles, are sturdy and great for fundraisers as well.

 Call the staff of our family run business based here in the US for recommendations.  Rush tote bags are available in cotton canvas, 600 denier nylon, organic cotton, nonwoven material and more.

Custom tote bags are great for trade show giveaways, conferences, and more and more often for the grocery store as well.  When shopping for custom totes, keep the following tips in mind:

• Gusset - the gusset is very important.  Most promotional totes have between a 1" and 10" gusset.  That is the area at the bottom of the tote bag which shows how much room you have to load it with stuff.  The general rule of thumb is that if your conference is meant just for papers and brochures, 1" is ok.  The larger the gusset, the more likely customers will use the bag after the show.  Of course you don't want the custom bag looking empty so if there are not a lot of things going inside it, stick to a 3" maximum.  If groceries are going to be involved then 5" or more is a must.

• Material quality - whether you are looking for a recycled tote, organic tote, promotional organic tote,  600 denier nylon tote bag, non woven totes, eco friendly totes or canvas totes, this is the most significant attribute to be careful of.  Those cotton tote bags that are 8 ounces or less are generally meant to be single use, cheap easily foldable totes.  Basically they get you through the conference and then that's it.  If you need a canvas tote or cotton canvas tote bag, stick with 10 ounces in weight or more.  Conversely, the custom 600 denier nylon bag are a much stronger bag, feel very "stiff" and ready for lots of durable action.  The custom nylon bags or promotional nylon totes are terrific because they can be produced in lots of colors, hold multiple color imprints well and can come in zippered tote bag styles, with lots of pockets as well.  Indeed a promotional tote with pockets can guarantee years of use after your event.  These are also the best material for fundraiser tote bags.

• Environment.  Because all tote bags are reusable, any bag at all can be considered good for the earth.  However, some totes have gone the extra mile and we carry those made from recycled materials, as well as custom organic totes, printed organic totes, and printed recycled tote bags and recyclable tote bags.

5 Most Common Myths About Promotional Products

There are many myths regarding the use of promotional products, the effectiveness of promotional products, and who from whom to buy promotional products. In this article, you will learn the truth about promotional products so that you can discard the many common myths about promotional products marketing.  These ideas came from our industry award winning Counselor Magazine

Myth # 1: All promotional products distributors are created equal. This statement is definitely false. The majority of promotional product distributors are simply "order takers." The simple truth is that they take your money and offer no real guidance with your promotional products marketing campaign. There are so many different factors to consider when ordering promotional items so it is vital that you purchase your promotional items from a professional to help make your marketing campaign successful. Using a promotional products consultant expert (and at Adco Marketing we have a combined 50 years experience!) cost you no more than using a fly by night distributor, so why not take advantage of the knowledge of a professional.

Myth # 2: Small businesses can not afford promotional products. This statement can't be further from the truth. The purchase of promotional items is an investment and NOT an expense. However, your promotional products marketing campaign must be well-planned with the help of a promotional products consultant. If managed properly with the guidance of a promotional products consultant, the return from a promotional products campaign can bring in hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of sales, even in a down economy. In the same way that small businesses spend advertising dollars on print ads, television ads, radio ads, and billboards, you can create a much more effective marketing campaign through the use of promotional products.

I know you all love the $.88 water bottle out there.  But such poor quality with leaky lids and number 7 plastic makes these the first to hit the landfill!  Our custom sports bottles are quality with BPA free plastic and available in many shapes and sizes.  Promotional sports bottles work great for athletic events, school fundraisers, gym retail and more.  Need a corporate gift that will be used over and over?  Our Aluminum Bottles including the laguna aluminum bottle are now our most popular items.  We like the 1 liter aluminum water bottle with a printed logo.  It's sleek styling sets it apart from the other styles.

Many of our sports bottles are BPA free.  Promotional BPA free water bottles show your customers that their safety comes first.    The BPA free sports bottles that we like the most include the 23 ounce fusion water bottle and the Zuma water bottle.  They are priced so they can be resold at school fundraisers or in stores as well.  Need a custom water bottle?  Adco Marketing has many unique custom bottle styles.  Many people love the custom bottles with sport tops for easy drinking on the bike or on theroad.  Promotional bike bottles come in under a dollar styles as well.

Our custom beach towels are terrific promotional giveaways, but what if you don't have the budget and you have a beach type of event?  Our new San Tropez custom beach mats can fill that need easily and with style.  We recently brought them on our Hawaii vacation and found them very functional.  The bright colors made it easy to find each other on the beach and they folded back up nicely when it was time to head in for lunch.  These are very light weight woven mats, the kind that normally are really hard to carry around because they roll up long.  The unique design of these custom beach mats made it so easy!  Folding up with a handle and the logo on the outside made for a nice imprint as well.  We didn't use the pillow very often, but that was a nice feature as well.

As President of Adco Marketing, I am always on the lookout for new takes on promotional products.  This promotional beach mat is under $6 so fit our criteria for beach on a budget items!  It also slipped nicely into our custom tote bags.   Please email or call with any questions.
