Dog Days of Summer

 The "Dog Days of Summer" are soon to end BUT the seemingly unending "shortage economy" is ramping up and is expected to extend into the 1st quarter of 2022.

From Taco Bell not having large cups, to McDonald's running out of paper to-go bags... retail consumers are starting to feel what business clients have been experiencing for the last few months.


The old Boy Scout motto- "Be Prepared" is more relevant today, be prepared (not saying hoard), review what you think you may need for the holidays, for key home/ auto repairs now- inventory maybe available now that will not be by the 4th quarter.

From business holiday gifts to personal items now is the time to ramp-up and not let the opportunity to be in control slip away.

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!
