Our custom water bottles are now available in not only BPA free plastic, but also in Aluminum and BPA free stainless water bottle sizes.  We find our customers are switching to the Aluminum style primarily.  We have a really neat style where you still get the pop top which so many customers want.  That way the lid doesn't have to be held down with your hand while you drink.  The main way customers are using these water bottles is not only as a water bottle giveaway, but as a retail fundraiser item as well.  Indeed as most of these new custom aluminum bottles come in the $4-$6 price range, that means selling them for $10-$15 is not out of the question.

 Does your office get bottled water delivered each week?  How about saving the environment by providing aluminum water bottles to your office?  Stop buying the paper cups and you will see that employees will adapt and bring their bottles to work!

As national nurses week approaches we at Adco Marketing are pleased to offer items to reward those caring individuals who do some of the hardest work on earth.  What promotional products would a nurse want?  More important, national nurses week gifts should focus on what a nurse actually needs.  Below are some promotional product ideas for nurses and other medical staff.  If you need even more pointers call 888-332-ADCO and our former nurse Lisa Hall will be ready to assist you as well!

National Nurses Week Gifts on the job:  Gifts to use on the job to help make his or her job easier.   Any nurses week goodie bag should include our rope pen.  (because there are never enough pockets to hold pens which are easily lost)  Our custom rope pens come in many colors and are very handy.  Have a little more budget?  Nurses need clip boards.  Indeed our custom clip boards can come in translucent bright colors and have useful information printed onto the clip or the board.   Finally our custom lunch bags are perfect for the nurse on the go who has no time to run to the cafeteria or home for lunch.  These custom cooler bags come in a variety of colors and are now available as eco friendly lunch boxes. Finally items that can stay at his or her work station will be appreciated from staplers to pens to office promotional products we at Adco Marketing are happy to help.

National Nurses Week Products for home or work:  Gifts that nurses can use at home or at work include custom lip balms, rubber mint cases with inside mirrors (sometimes lipstick need reapplication during the day so you will get a lot of logo time),package together in our piccolo tote bag for the perfect nurses week gift.  Our custom mini tote bags are affordable and come in terrific styles. Add custom mints and custom candies and you have a gift they won't forget!

Ok, is it even possible to have a custom umbrella under $10?  Yes, through Adco Marketing we have many options particularly if you can go with a custom folding umbrella.  However how can you tell what is the best style for you?  Sometimes you get what you pay for...  So below are some umbrella styles and we give you the honest truth - the good and the bad! 

The Barrister umbrella - our most popular selling, and the one we grab the most often when we need to run to the car.  While under $10 does not get you the auto open/auto close feature, it still gets you push button open which is what most of us need when running in the rain.  It is small enough to fit in a briefcase, or stick a bit out of your purse.  (unless you're one of those soccer mom purse types, then it will fit right in!)  This custom folding umbrella does have a plastic handle, so for long walks it's not the most comfortable - see our comfort grip handle umbrellas for that kind of option.  It is also just the right size for one person - if you add a child as well they will get a bit wet.  However it is also fine for a child to carry as well - not too heavy.  It is a pain to have a promotional umbrella that breaks in the wind, with all your packages and your child in tow!  So trust us, we have tested these and they hold up well!

There have been such huge advances in the last year in the custom tote bag line.  Those advances include better styling such as for our canvas tote bags, eco friendly materials at inexpensive tote prices, and larger grocery custom tote bags for better usability.  At Adco Marketing we focus on offering a wide variety of choices depending on your needs.

 Convention tote bags have originally been the plain, natural cotton tote bag style.  Now they come in a wide variety of colors and in 600 denier nylon.  Pink tote bags, black tote bags and even Khaki tote bags are now available.  But who cares if those tote bags are out there if they cannot be produced in time for your event?  At Adco Marketing we produce our promotional tote bags very quickly.  Indeed we are known throughout the US for our rush tote bags producing in just 24 hours.  Rush custom tote bags and rush printed tote bags are great for today's economy when you might not get that budget until the last minute.

We LOVE the new auto open-auto close umbrellas.  Testing them personally really helped us advise clients on which model will work for them.  Whether for a customer appreciation gift, corporate umbrella, or golf tournament umbrella, we have the custom umbrella style for you.

Our personalized umbrellas are available with small arcs as custom mini umbrellas suitable for the purse or the briefcase, or with large custom golf umbrellas perfect for hotels, the beach, or the golf course.  Speaking of the golf course, our golf tournament heavy duty personalized golf umbrellas can also be engraved on the handle as well for added promotional product value when closed!  Our custom umbrellas are uniquely styled with alternating panels, rubber handles, auto open-close features, and most importantly, wind vented umbrellas.  If your umbrella breaks in the wind then it wasn't a great use of your promotional product dollars!

Ok, we have all seen the steel travel mug in gray with the black handle.  But what if you are looking for more?  Custom travel mugs have come a long way using steel and acrylic components for even more unique looks.  Our Maui fusion mugs are a terrific example of a travel mug that will not be relegated to the kitchen cabinet.  Beautiful styling and a functional feature makes our personalized travel mugs fit nicely in car cup holders.  In fact our custom tumblers and promotional personalized mugs all have very unique styles.  The old fashioned ceramic mug for $.99 is still a fine standby but for just a dollar more you really get more bang for your buck.  Promotional travel mugs work well as custom promotional products because they are usually $3-$10, can be used for corporate gifts, executive gifts, employee safety awards and more. 

For your next custom travel mug purchase give us a call.  Company store programs and retail programs love using our promotional tumblers and promotional travel mugs.  With a high perceived value, the customer always feels they are getting an expensive present.  Need a travel mug with even more style?  Our Laguna tumblers really fit the bill.  Under $10 with a $20 look and feel.  Need plastic tumblers?  Or plastic custom mugs?  Check out our latest offerings with nice colored handles and spill proof lids.  Nothing is more anoying than wearing your morning coffee to the office!  Be assured our knowledgeable sales people specialize in only promotional products so we can steer you in the right direction.

Our best picks for inexpensive promotional products range from unique custom sports bottles to bag clips to custom pens.  Marketing on a budget can be difficult.  Too often clients call us wanting custom promotional products without understanding which items are best to market their business. Our business background enables us to give the best advice.  Below are some examples.

A realestate agent will typically want printed pens or business card magnets.  However to truly help their business we will recommend custom house promotional products.  That reinforces the fact that they are in realestate, are usually cuter and longer lasting than the standard items and will help them stand out from the crowd.  Have  you seen our new eco friendly house note pads?  Your potential customers will keep them around long after they've seen your open house.  Our house tape measure key tags are the perfect handout as many people house hunting are needing to measure on the spot.  For under a dollar promotional items,  our house jar opener lasts for years and with a magnet on the back gets you some great logo viewing as well.  Need to emphasize that you provide stress free real estate transactions?  Try our house shaped stress relievers.  Using our combined 50 plus years of knowledge you can milk our brains for creativity and we love it!
