Have a big event coming up and not sure what to offer as a giveaway at your booth? Before we dive into some of the most innovative ideas in the promotional products industry for this Spring, check out some of our past posts for ideas on strategy:
I know it’s bold to try and pick out the ‘Best Giveaways’ since each and every industry, show and company will be different. But, generally speaking — we’ll break-down some ideas we like for this season and review why they might break-through the clutter.
Infuser Water Bottle
Move over old water bottle -there’s a new guy in town. Love this new twist on a giveaway classic. Does your company support healthy living or just want to offer something unique? Think about having your booth employees fill up their infusers during the conference and offer an ‘infuser bar’ – stocked full of fruits and mint leaves. Offer visitors the opportunity to create a unique infuser for their water bottle.
Flowerpot Planting Kit
Say ‘hello’ to spring with this season favorite. Customers will be falling over themselves trying to get one of these DIY flower kits. Plus, they’ll think about you every time they gaze at their beautiful flowers as we can customize it with your logo.
Two-in-One Seed Paper Coaster
What an earth friendly idea for your next promotion. Not only are these coasters a great way to show off your brand, they moonlight as seed paper that will get your garden started for this spring. Use the coaster for awhile and when the time is right, plant the paper for a hearty mix of wild flowers.
Slinky Adhesive Note Pad
Want to offer something functional and eye-catching? Then the slinky note pad is for you. Strategically place these on your table for added attention. Add your logo to these note pads for extra branding.
Fold-up Vase
Make a splash at the conference by strategically placing these vases around the conference. Fill them with spring flowers or give them away at your booth. They’re sure to make your customers smile.

Now that my favorite season is in full swing I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself, and give you some great ideas for outerwear this fall! My name is Matt Roberts, I am a recent IU MBA graduate and recently took on this position as marketing intern for EYB Promotions. I am the face behind all the wonderful blogging, email, and social media content that you have come to love. Please feel free to email (mfrobert@umail.iu.edu) me with any questions you may have about how EYB can help expose your brand, or even if you just want to take a break from work and chat for a bit.

Schools back in session, the NFL season is starting this week, changing leaves and chiller weather — it could only mean on thing, Fall is just around the corner.
Clients have just started looking for corporate work wear that’s going to keep them warm as the temperature drops, which got us thinking…
Let’s gather a list of some of the best-of-the-best – so you don’t have to search far and wide for some good Fall gear. So, two of our favorite ‘go-tos’ for the Fall.
PORT FLEECE COLLECTION
We love these because of their great price point. Port Authority just came out with a new line that includes full and half zip-up jackets, plus vests. Check them out
COLUMBIA ZIPS
If you’re willing to spend a little bit more dough – these Columbia zip-ups could be the right choice for you. They’re on our best of Fall 2011 list because of their vibrant colors, durability and classic style. Check them out

If you’re looking for event or trade show inspiration for this Fall – my best advice is to start with this season’s color trends. A shade or color combination might strike a chord with you and help you overcome your event planners-block. I’m personally in love with this season’s palette – the colors are unassuming, fresh and earthy. The bold reds and oranges – that you’ll see in the trees, are for the birds – as this Fall asks that you take your favorite primary colors down a notch.
With names like honeysuckle, bamboo and coffee – who wouldn’t be OK with kissing summer goodbye?

Did you know women account for 85% of all consumer purchases? Everything from new homes, to food and vacations – women are many times the key decision-maker. We are challenged by our clients to find ways to market to women – which, isn’t always easy. Women can get bored with the status-quo, they see thousands of marketing messages per day and have become desensitized to advertising. That just means, you must be clever, fresh and relevant. Finding a promotional item that solves a problem – will always be a big hit. Here is our list of top 5 promotional products made especially for women.
Footzyrolls: Ugh! Nothing is worse than wearing high-heels all night long. Perfect for a long day at the office, weddings and special events – these footzyrolls hideaway into your purse and can be brought out at just the right time. Not to mention advertising your company on the footzyroll bag will be sure to create some buzz!
Purse Hanger: Love this! I can think of so many times my purse hanger has come in handy. At restaurants, events or bars (where you definitely don’t want your Coach purse even brushing the floor) – this nifty purse hanger will hold your purse high-in-the-sky and away from dirt and grime!
Green Journals: Whether it’s a big idea, the grocery list, thoughts, dreams or a list of ‘to-dos’ – journals are always a functional and memorable trade show or event giveaway. I always think printing a personalized page in the front of the book makes it even more special.
Natural Vanilla Lip Gloss: Women can ALWAYS use more lip gloss – especially when it’s something that’s easy to tuck away and smells yummy.
Comfy Tanks: Ahhhh….nothing’s better than a soft tank top. Whether you’re layering it under another shirt or lounging around the house – this tank top is my all time favorite. I have one in every color and multiple in white. If you’re looking for something for women this could be a great option – print your logo in a trendy location (like the bottom right-hand corner or the back right shoulder) for added flair.

I couldn’t resist…when I ran across this delectable line of bacon themed products, I had to share it with the world. It started with a small chuckle as I spotted bacon-flavored soap, then it turned to disbelief when I saw how far they took their bacon-obsession — from bacon flavored envelopes to bacon wallets, this company has a real sense of humor.
So sit back and enjoy a promotional product presentation with some real sizzle.

There’s definitely something in the air…maybe it’s a few stray leaves that crunch under your feet, a slight chill in the breeze or all of the ‘back to school’ ads. Ready or not, fall is just around the corner.
Be ready for this season with a preview of this fall’s backdrop. This season’s colors are dazzling, surprising and under-stated.
1. Purple Orchid
Royal, loyal and rich — this fall favorite is hitting the runway scene with full force. Make a statement with your next event or custom embroidery order, when you purchase garments in this bold hue.
2. Metallics
Add a little pazzaz into any event or tradeshow with this fall’s line of mettalics. Accessorize with some of these bright blends for a pulled together look.
3. Lip Stick Red
Don’t be shy this fall. Be shockingly bold with bright red hues that pop. Think about capturing attention at a trade show or event with red promotional items or custom apparel.
4. Camel
Understated and classic — this muted hue will hit the scene this fall in all shapes and sizes. See Michael Kors take on the color in his 2010 fall runway preview show.

Ahhhh....the perfect T
In the spirit of packing up for spring break , I thought I would write a quick review about one of my favorite t-shirts.
This trifecta of perfection includes a blend of 50% polyester, 25% rayon and 25% cotton — the result? A magical fabric that makes you feel like you could conquer the world. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit, but I guarantee it will be one of the most comfortable things you’ve ever thrown on.
This perfect tee was brought to us by none other than American Apparel. The best thing about AA is their catalog photos, I struggled to find a picture that people would take seriously. Many of the images are laced with neon green skinny jeans and magenta tights (and I’m just talking about the men’s section)…don’t even get me started on the women.
Doing custom t-shirts for an event or promotion? This would be my first choice…hands-down.
Oh, and P.S. today is the last day to take advantage of our free embroidery deal — so give us a call today: 812-376-3212
