Promotional Products Blog | Pinnacle Promotions Marketing Company

Pinnacle Promotions has joined a team of Harvard graduate students to promote awareness and raise money for the causes supported by Oxfam, an international confederation of 14 organizations committed to ending poverty and injustice worldwide.  Oxfam has a presence in 99 countries across the world, where representatives work directly with and within communities to create lasting solutions that will improve the lives of poor and underprivileged people around the globe.

Oxfam’s efforts are focused in five areas: development, emergencies, campaigning, advocacy, and policy research.  Pinnacle Promotions has decided to support a group working to save those struck by natural disasters in locations where support is scarce.  We encourage you to join us by making a donation online – every cent helps!

Christmas will be here before we know it and the pricing wars have already begun for the best deals on everything from electronics to toys. The holiday season is supposed to be a joyous time with friends and family, but for most, stress levels rise higher than any other time of year. Give your employees and customers a chance to relax with promotional lotions. The soothing Menthol fragrance in the promotional stress relief lotions will help calm even the most frazzled mind. Ingredients such as Eucalyptus and Spearmint are also available in stress relief lotions and would work well to promote health and wellness programs your company may be trying to initiate.  Season’s Greetings.

The Holiday season is upon us, Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away and many of us will be indulging in all the yummy goodies. Whether you are already on a diet or just want to maintain your weight, there are plenty of easy activities to keep the number on your scale from rising. Walking is one of the easiest, low impact activities we can do and promotional pedometers can be a great tool to monitor your success. Promotional pedometers can be simple or multi-functional depending on your needs. They are great for any industry, especially healthcare, to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. So go ahead and get that extra serving of stuffing, just remember to snap on your pedometer and go for a brisk stroll thereafter.

If you enter a search for directions from China to Japan using google maps, direction #43 instructs travelers to “Jet ski across the Pacific Ocean.”

While corporate travel gifts may not help you cross the Pacific by jet ski, if you go the normal route and take a plane they can make the voyage a bit more enjoyable.

Halloween is less than two weeks away and I still don’t know what my costume should be. I have however, purchased some candy to give out to trick or treaters before I head out myself. Custom candy is never a bad idea when you want to leave a great impression or to entice customers to come back for more.  Custom candy can range from mints to jelly beans and anything in between. It can also be packaged in a variety of ways so that it can be easily mailed for direct mail campaigns or presented in a grander fashion as part of a gift basket for an end of year gift to valued customers.

I recently found an article discussing the popularity of safety apparel for everyday consumers, not just those in the construction or manufacturing industries. Promo work wear and apparel are actually becoming a trend through out retail sectors. Primarily motorcyclists, bikers and outdoor enthusiasts are snatching the safety apparel up because it is not only functional and provides protection, but it is also becoming more fashionable. If this trend continues there is no telling what we will see in the promo work wear market in the years to come. With more and more individuals taking their health and safety more seriously, this is definitely a trend that could turn into the norm.

My parents have always been very thrifty and when something is broken or doesn’t work, we do it ourselves. This motto has worked for the most part, but it isn’t always convenient and definitely not so when pertaining to vehicles. I have some family relatives borrowing said “unreliable” vehicle and it overheated last night. So there they sit at midnight on the side of the road and my brother and I had to find them. Their emergency flashers were on, but an emergency flashlight such as the Garrity L.E.D. Rechargeable Emergency Auto Lite could have worked perfectly so they could assess the situation and as a signaling device. There are plenty of promotional product emergency kits that could work in similar situations. Luckily we got everyone home safe, to be continued on the car.

Congratulations to Jill Henrichs, who won our contest to name Pinnacle’s summer barbecue series. Her winning name was “Pinnapalooza,” and our designers are currently busy creating a killer logo for it. The entire Pinnacle staff plus Jill will receive Pinnapalooza t-shirts.

In addition, Jill will receive a promotional grill set to enjoy at her own summer barbecues. If we’re lucky she’ll bring the grill set to Pinnacle and flip some burgers with her biggest fans.

Thanks for the great idea, Jill. Happy grilling!

Well there’s a snuggie for dogs and a snuggie (termed “Snuggle Me”) for the promotional products industry, so I guess it should not come as such a surprise that this cultural phenomenon now comes in couple form. That’s right, consumers can now purchase the Snuggie For Two that features three armholes (so you and your loved one can hold hands inside the shared armhole of course). Did you just throw up a little bit in your mouth, too? Yeah, I thought so.

I want to start out by saying I’m a huge Seth Godin fan!  I was turned onto him about two years ago when a co-worker told me about his blog; I checked it out and signed up to receive his blog entries delivered to my inbox everyday.  I didn’t give it much thought, but time and again I was shocked at how his blog related to the work I was doing.  His blog really made me think about innovative business & marketing strategies and how to re-evaluate and fine tune what I was already doing.

That being said, when his new book, Linchpin came out I was thrilled that my co-worker, Kim ordered a copy and said I could borrow it when she was done.  A few weeks later Kim ran into my office elated with a letter from Seth and another copy of his book, Linchpin.  Continue reading
