"Branding Your Image"!

It's the holiday season and the bad guys are hard at work and the costs get pushed to all of us! How much less expensive would products be without the fraud and counterfeiting (not including the salaries of the 15,000 employees they hire to fight this crime).

One of the recent crazy stories is those who figured they could clone the Promotional Products Industries 2023 Product of the Year- Knockoff Stanley Tumblers

As we move into the season, and into 2025, this is a great reminder to choose your providers carefully, purchase from known reputable suppliers who are committed to you and your good will-

Be reminded that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Say no and move on to a better and safer provider.

Wishing you a blessed Merry Christmas and a successful New Year!

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!
