I see hundreds of pens a year. Some of them great, some not so great. I have become a little numb to the writing instrument category of promotional products. As a pen aficionado- I have my favorites and my go-to models when suggesting writing tools for various projects.
When the USA Snifty Pen came across my desk, I was brought back to my childhood! My favorite markers were scented, I used them all the time! Do you remeber those? My favorite was the mint scented ones. The Snifty pen has ten different scents to choose from! Each scent is actually infused into the rubber grip of the pen! Each of the pens scent color coordinates with the color accent grip and designer border wrap artwork. So fancy! And each pen is made in the USA! I am digging the Strawberry and Vanilla Cupcake models. Which one will be your favorite?
Check out the snifty pen and other out of the ordinary writing solutions here.

In today’s fast paced, virtual landscape it is becoming more important than ever to engage with your customers. It has become commonplace to communicate via text, purchase products on your mobile and download music online. We can go through an entire day without actually interacting with another human face-to-face. As humans we crave interaction and a tangible way for companies to fill this need is to use promotional products, like puzzles or games.
I recently read an article on Springwise.com about a Canadian musican that offered a DIY cardboard turntable with his new album. This limited edition version came with a make-your-own cardboard turntable that actually plays the record! This was thoughtfully created to “invoke the old-time aspect of blues music and toy-building activities reminiscent of childhood, as well as forcing the listener to put in some work and attention in order to hear the music.” What a unique way to get fans to engage with this musician and his music!
By using a promotional product you have a physical branded product that your customers and fans can hold in their hands. If you incorporate a nostalgic toy or puzzle you can get people to slow down and play or build something. This creates an experience that your fans won’t soon forget. Here are two promotional products that came to mind after reading this great marketing case study.

This past weekend, my husband and I ran a local 5K – the Vinings Downhill (you might have read about it in last week’s Weekend Guide.)
(Yes, those are really my feet. It’s amazing what pictures you’ll find on your phone.)

I’ve been working in the promotional products industry for a short time – just shy of five months. But in that time, I’ve really come to notice just how common promotional products are and how they are everywhere!

Dear Loyal Readers,
It is with a heavy heart and a cubicle full of promotional products that I write my final post for the Pinnacle Promotions blog. Rather than discuss a trending topic related to promo items, I would like to reflect on a few of my most memorable blog moments as part of Pinnacle’s Marketing Department. In no particular order:
1) Our very first blog post!
It is still hard to believe that Pinnacle did not have a blog when I was brought on board. Kim was responsible for crafting our inaugural blog entry on May 18, 2009 and we have now passed the 750-post mark! It has been an honor to work with such talented, creative writers- each one of you has inspired me on so many occasions and I have been fortunate to learn and grow as a result of our interactions.

You may have noticed there’s an election a brewin’. And as any good campaign would have it, (thanks to George Washington’s buttons) there are plenty of promo products to go around.
Check out the Best, Worst and Weirdest Swag of the 2012 Campaign slideshow for some creative bits of swag. And don’t fret. I’m sure we’ll be diving deeper into the campaign trends soon.

As an avid HGTV and promotional products lover, I’ve dedicated a series of blog posts to products inspired by HGTV’s Color of the Month. September’s color is indigo, which is a cooler tone that works well with the transitional weather and changing season. Indigo’s calming effect will keep recipients in check as schedules start to get busy again after a slower, more relaxing summer. Thus, it’s the perfect hue for planners, desk organizers, and computer accessories.
