Breaking Out of The Smoke



Based in California, we are enduring another week of smoky skies, if you are inside, you'd think its a late October foggy day, not end-of-summer 95+ humid cooker.

Driving around one needs daytime running lights in some areas, and you find you are looking for company lights to know whose open and to identify where you are, esp. later in the day and early evening.

The question we face, "does your clients know you are still in business, still ready to step-up and serve them?"
The easy way to try and gain attention is an email blast, but how many have you gotten today alone? I've already deleted over 50 and its not even 10:00 am, with an expected 250 more to come in (this is after all the rules and blocks on my account)- not very effective, though inexpensive.

In the past we'd go see our clients, and we pray that day will be coming again soon, but a limited option- 
Do we try to run a non-stop series of web conference calls? Doable but still we may face limited access by clients and have time windows each day... what's left?

Old fashion mail- cards, letters, gift sets- whatever you can dream to send. We have been sending food gift packs to homes, cards and more. For the recipients it feels like Christmas, a touch of humanity that is more personal and leaves a longer impression. From custom boxes, envelopes to personalized cards, letters, labels and even merchandise- you can drip care on your staff, clients and suppliers while staying top-of-mind.

Want to experience it? Shoot me an email (bob@nds-solutions.com) to enter a weekly drawing to receive a food gift from NDS (put #Gift in subject line, and send us your Company name, contact info and address), a $30.00 value*.

So let's work together, let our clients know "WE ARE OPEN" and ready to be a help!

Stay well, safe and smoke free :)

ECO IS HOT! According to industry surveys, 45% of consumers in the 11 Western states have a stronger impression of advertisers who use and promote environmentally friendly products. *                   It's not like the "old days" when eco products were scratchy, poor quality and unappealing.
  NDS is 2 days away from hosting one of the largest promo shows in NorCal- some call what we sell "trash-n-trinkets", but the size and impact of the industry shows it's far more than that- just look at what the ASI Industry Impressions Study* revealed for the lifetime number of impressions by product.  What else can you think of that has the reach and impact as promotional items, most of us aren't "influencers" but we still influence many around us by what we wear, handout or sell.  As you walk about, consider all the billboards (people you pass) and what they are advertising and ask, "how can I get them to rock my brand?" Maybe a lot easier than you think, just need to find the right product and message and you can be memorable!  Oh, we'd be honored to help you along the way~ *Source ASI 2023 Impressions Study
 Sometimes life feels like speedway bikes, 0-60mph in 3 seconds, with NO BRAKES! Part of being successful in business and life in general, is to not let the rush overwhelm you that you lose sight of the goal, that you miss the journey as well. Coach John Wooden said it best, "Be quick but don't hurry"  It's summer, lot of great opportunities ahead, kick it into gear and enjoy the ride!
