<p>Professional Gifting is a multi talented marketing firm that finds the most creative sources for your next promotion. Kimble Office asked us if we could take materials provided by their textile companies and create a custom bag, just for them.  The goal was to feature fabrics while not over doing the logo branding.</p>
<p>We created 4 design PVC labels.  3 that included the fabric manufacturer and 1 that could be used on any projects in the future. The suppliers for this project were Mayer Fabrics, Carnegie and Knoll Textiles. We also designed custom fabric presentation kits that featured the Kimball Office logo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Clear-PVC-Labels01.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2376" title="Clear PVC Labels01" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Clear-PVC-Labels01.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>These labels can be used on any product that we assemble for them. In fact, many of the products we create are from discontinued fabrics that KO has decided to recycle.</p>
<p>This is just one of the many creative ways Professional Gifting brings value to their clients. Contact your PG sales consultant to help with your next great idea.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><br />
Reason #1:</strong> Consultants are the experts in their field. When you’re sick, you want a doctor who has the specialization and training to help you. PPAI consultants meet the highest qualification standards in the industry and display “The Mark of a Professional.” There’s no need to spend all your time on the Internet or searching through catalogs. Your promotional products consultant will come to you—like a doctor who makes house calls!</p>
<p><strong>Reason #2:</strong> Good consultants go beyond just selling products. Successful promotional campaigns don’t happen by chance. To realize goals, promotional products programs must be carefully planned, taking into consideration the audience, budget and, of course, the ultimate result to be gained. While it’s true that you can buy a product anywhere, an experienced consultant can help you solve problems, plan a program and get results.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #3:</strong> Professional consultants have access to vast product research resources, including an extensive database which contains more than 500,000 products. Yes, you can find a mug online, but a consultant can find hundreds of mugs, in a multitude of colors, sizes, shapes, materials, designs, etc. Have you saved money if you get the mugs and they are not the right color? Is it worth the extra savings if you get the mugs and they are so breakable due to inferior materials that they are virtually unusable?</p>
<p><strong>Reason #4:</strong> Consultants are in tune with the trends, including hot items and the newest products and processes. A qualified consultant can add creativity, innovation and imagination to your overall program to achieve your goals. Many online services show you the products they want to sell; a qualified consultant will listen to what you want and help you find the right product for your needs. And a consultant can provide tangible samples that appeal to your senses: taste, touch and feel!</p>
<p><strong>Reason #5:</strong> Your consultant is more than just a salesperson. Chances are you will buy promotional products more than once in your life. Once a company uses a consultant, that relationship often continues for years—and even decades. Your promotional products consultant is someone with whom you have worked, someone you know and someone you trust. In many cases, companies use the consultant as part of the creative team, even including him or her in marketing meetings.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #6:</strong> Personalized service is the role of a consultant. When going online, your selection is what the internet company determines to make available. When you work with a consultant, your selection is determined by your needs and goals, enhanced by the experience, creativity and recommendations of that consultant who has your best interests at heart. Online, you’re a faceless, nameless buyer. With a consultant, you’re a client with your own personal shopper, receiving service along with ideas and prices. When you order online, who monitors your order and your deadline? Your consultant has your interests in mind. Seldom do you receive that kind of personalized, “hand-holding” customer service from an unknown online company.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #7:</strong> Industry consultants can offer experienced advice on how (and IF) to imprint items. You may have found the perfect key chain, but will your logo imprint on it? Will it be recognizable? Some things don’t work, or there might be something else that will work better. A qualified promotional products consultant can explain to you the best printing process for your program, your imprint and the product you’ve chosen.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #8:</strong> Trained consultants can save you money in the long run. Many times, a price you see in a generic catalog or on the internet does not cover many “hidden” costs involved—set up, imprint duplication, shipping, etc. A consultant can help you avoid unexpected and unbudgeted costs by quoting the total price up-front.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #9:</strong> Consultants will work with you to get your artwork imprinted properly. Say you want your company’s logo embroidered on a golf shirt. How do you ensure it will be done properly, and with the correct colors? A trained consultant can work with you to insure accurate transfer of your artwork, including correct fonts, size, spacing and many other important factors. And your consultant’s commitment to quality customer service will guarantee your satisfaction with the finished product.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #10:</strong> Professional promotional products consultants can assist you in developing a workable distribution plan for your products. Distribution of a promotional product is as important as the item itself. Research shows that a carefully executed distribution plan significantly increases the effectiveness of promotional products. But what if the cost of distributing your product is more than the product and more than your expected ROI (return on investment)? A consultant can help you avoid unexpected problems like this.</p>

What are promotional products?</strong></p>
<p>Promotional products are items used to promote a product, service or company program including advertising specialties, premiums, incentives, business gifts, awards, prizes, commemoratives and other imprinted or decorated items. </p>
<p><strong>How is promotional products marketing used?</strong></p>
<p>Since promotional products can be used alone or integrated with other media, there are virtually limitless ways to use them. Popular programs cited most often by industry consultants are business gifts, employee relations, orientation programs, corporate communications and at tradeshows to generate booth traffic.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re also effective for dealer/distribution programs, co-op programs, company stores, generating new customers or new accounts, nonprofit fundraising, public awareness campaigns, and for promotion of brand awareness and brand loyalty. Other uses include employee incentive programs, new product or service introductions, and marketing research for survey and focus group participants.</p>
<p><strong>What kinds of promotional products are available? </strong></p>
<p>There are literally tens of thousands of different types and styles of promotional products. In many cases, it&#8217;s even possible to obtain custom items that aren&#8217;t found in any catalog. Examples of common items include: apparel, pens, calendars, coffee mugs, calculators, key chains, desk accessories and memory sticks.</p>
<p><strong>What products are the most popular?</strong></p>
<p>Advertisers spent more than $18.8 billion in 2006 on products purchased through professional promotional product consultants. For a breakdown of the <a href="http://www.promobusinessbuilder.com/NR/rdonlyres/2D24B0BD-A6B9-4B63-9161-D420E384DFD5/0/2006SalesVolume.pdf" target="_blank">top product categories</a> and the market percentage they claim, click the link above.  </p>

<p>According to a 2005 study conducted by Georgia Southern University, recipients of promotional products have a significantly more positive opinion of a business through: more positive overall image, more positive perception of the business, higher likelihood of recommending the business as well as a higher likelihood of patronizing the business.</p>
<p> A 2004 study of business travelers at DFW Airport revealed that 71 percent of business people reported having received a promotional product in the last 12 months. Of that group, 33.7 percent had the item on their person and 76.1 percent could recall the advertiser&#8217;s name! 52 percent of that group did business with the advertiser after receiving the promotional product and 52.1 percent reported their impression of the advertiser was more favorable after receiving the item.</p>
<p> Recipients of promotional products remember the advertiser&#8217;s name. A study by Schreiber &amp; Associates (Peoria, IL) showed that 39 percent of the people receiving a promotional product could recall the name of the advertiser as long as six months after they received it.</p>
<p> Promotional products are ideal for creating awareness among a selected audience. Southern Methodist University conducted a study to measure attendee awareness of product demonstrations in three university communities. They found that selective distribution of promotional products outpulled school newspaper advertising by a ratio of two-to-one.</p>
<p> Promotional products, used as dimensionals in direct mail solicitations, can boost response rates by up to 75 percent, according to a study by Baylor University.</p>
<p> Customers reorder faster and more often when promotional products are used instead of coupons. In a study by Southern Methodist University, customers receiving promotional products reordered up to 18 percent sooner than those who received coupons and up to 13 percent sooner than those who received no promotion.</p>
<p> Promotional products effectively reinforce employee sales contests, too. A Baylor University study of month-long sales contests in retail establishments indicates that contests reinforced by periodic distribution of promotional products were cost-effective and outperformed non-stimulated contests by up to 50 percent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Successful promotion campaigns don&#8217;t happen by chance. To realize goals, promotional products programs must be carefully planned, taking into consideration the audience, budget and, of course, the ultimate result to be gained.</p>
<p><strong>1. Define a specific objective.</strong></p>
<p>Whether the goal is to increase traffic at a trade show exhibit or to boost sales with current clients, the first step in any campaign is to clarify the purpose of the program.</p>
<p><strong>2. Determine a workable distribution plan to a targeted audience.</strong></p>
<p>Distribution of a promotional product is as important as the item itself. Research shows that a carefully executed distribution plan significantly increases the effectiveness of promotional products. For example, a pre-show mailing to a select audience delivers more trade show traffic and qualified leads than simply distributing items to passerby at the show.</p>
<p><strong>3. Create a central theme.</strong></p>
<p>Linking a recognizable logo and color to all aspects of a campaign, from promotional products to sales sheets to product packaging, helps create an instantly recognizable image.</p>
<p><strong>4. Develop a message to support the theme.</strong></p>
<p>Supporting a campaign&#8217;s theme with a message helps to solidify a company&#8217;s name, service or products in the target audience&#8217;s mind. For instance, to promote its services to small businesses, a bank created the theme &#8220;Are you tired of being treated like a small fish?&#8221; and sent fish-related products to its prospects along with promotional literature.</p>
<p><strong>5. Select a promotional product that bears a natural relationship to your profession or communications theme.</strong></p>
<p>A good example is a company that developed a magic motif for its conference at Disney World. Attendees received magic-related products to tie in with the theme &#8220;Experience the magic at Disney<sup>®</sup>.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>6. Don&#8217;t pick an item based solely on uniqueness, price or perceived value.</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t fall prey to the latest trends or fads. The most effective promotional products are used in a cohesive, well-planned campaign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does your company have a special event coming up? Do you want to do something a little bit different for your next promotion? Many times the standard items you would like to use are boring and have been used over and over again. Maybe it&#8217;s not the item that is a bit drab, but the artwork you use.</p>
<p>Professional Gifting has a number of graphic artists that help you design artwork that is appropriate to your event. Sure there is a cost for this, but it will make all of the difference in the world. Especially when it comes to logo apparel, our customers know that their product is going to get worn for years to come.</p>
<p>Next time you ask yourself&#8230; Where do I get cool artwork made up? Be sure to contact your sales representative at Professional Gifting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scout bags are one of the latest styles that you are starting to see in retail. Price on this brand ranges from $25 to $60.  We are finding that while they are more expensive, the overall design and perceived value is on the top of most designer womens list of core accessories.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Scout-Bag-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2251" title="Scout-Bag-1" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Scout-Bag-1.jpg" alt="" width="338" height="354" /></a></p>
<p>For many of our customers, we will simply add a client branded luggage tag to the item.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Scout-Bag-Deano.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2252" title="Scout-Bag-Deano" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Scout-Bag-Deano.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="358" /></a></p>
<p>I find bags are similar to tee shirts, in that 70% of the decision to buy a tee shirt is based on the art or graphics. 20% is based on quality and 10% is based on price. They really do offer <a href="http://www.invitecottage.com/category.aspx?categoryID=68" target="_blank">a number of options</a>.</p>
<p>If you are looking for something similar, except at a lower price, you might consider the Key West line of bags.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Slick-Bag.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2253" title="Slick-Bag" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Slick-Bag.jpg" alt="" width="416" height="342" /></a></p>
<p>With pricing falling ion the $30 range, with your logo embroidered on it, this makes for the next best substitute for Scout.</p>
<p>Do you have a project coming up where you need a tote bag? Be sure to contact your Professional Gifting associate for additional information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for the latest idea to promote your an inner office policies? Does your company promote office equipment? Do ever need creative team building ideas? Here is one of the most interactive promotional items that we seen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/MyCubee.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2224" title="MyCubee" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/MyCubee.jpg" alt="" width="554" height="265" /></a></p>
<p>The ModPod mini cubicle is an ever expanding set that can be personalized by custom packaging or custom posters on the walls. The beauty of the set is that it can be expanded with multiple cubes, a copy center can be added and you can even have a delivery man.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/cubee21.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2231" title="cubee2" src="http://www.professionalgifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/cubee21.jpg" alt="" width="551" height="234" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These would make a great direct mail program geared toward promoting your different services. Updates could come simply by sending new graphics. Here is another friends peek of his <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thepretenda/sets/1652799/" target="_blank">Cube man hanging out</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our clients are always looking for the latest and greatest ideas, that&#8217;s why they are loyal to Professional Gifting. For more information on this patented product, contact your PGI sales associate.</p>
