Idea of the Week: Multi-Use Golf Towel

I know it might be early for some of us to talk golf, as we finally have some white stuff up in the great white north of Minnesota. But, every year, I keep getting asked what is new and different with golf accessories and products.

Here is a unique golf accessory for you, most definitely me and your customers - The Spotless Swing golf towel.

I am worse than the classic hacker. In fact, there is usually more dirt and grass on my golf clubs than whats left on the course.

This 3-in-1 towel is made of micro-fiber material on the outside and a micro-brush fabric on the inside. It will  keep your hands and grips clean, trap mud, dirt and sand on the inside of this towel and clean your club grooves, allowing you to get that distance and backspin that turns a mediocre day on the course into a great one. Okay, I'd be happy with mediocre. Just ask my father-in-law, friends and business associates who have witnessed my huge left-handed slice. Phil Mickelson, I am not. Or could ever hope to be.

Tasty Side Note: This may not cure your slice or hook, but you will definitely have the cleanest clubs on the course.

Idea of the Week: Slinky Stik-On

It's a Slinky...it's a sticky note...No wait, it's both. 


You remember the song. It's Slinky! It's Slinky, for fun, its a wonderful toy. It's fun for a girl and a boy. 


100 sheets of pure fun for writing your reminders, to-do lists and messages. Just don't drop them down the stairs. 


Tasty side note: For your viewing pleasure. The original Slinky commercial.

There is no Write or Wrong in Pens

I always have a pen on me. Why? Well, not only do I sell them for a living, but I'm also handing then out, especially to waiters and waitresses. if you remember from my first blog. I'm the difficult one in the restaurant.

Here's how the conversation usually goes: Server: You want a Cheeseburger with Bacon, but no cheese or vegetables and crispy fries. Well I better write that down with my...pen...if I can just find what I did with it...oh I'll be "write" back. Me. Why don't I just give you one of mine.


The "point" today is to tell you how valuable pens or writing instruments are in your marketing arsenal.


Here is a quick appetizer about pens:

• cost effective (with many starting under 50 cents)
• impressions you receive from a pen (they receive 437 impressions per month)
• you can’t use your finger to write on all those post-it notes around your office or home

There are so many pens to choose from whether you want a ballpoint, roller-ball or gel. Of course, let’s not forget color of ink, color of the pen, with or without a cap vs. click.

Pens are great giveaways for:existing and prospective clients

• tradeshows
• new product introductions 
• thank you's
• service awards
• employee incentives

It seems like I have a new favorite every day, but then again here is what my drawer looks like:

Does this look like your favorite drawer? Tell me, what is your favorite pen? Everyone seems to have one or at least an opinion. I would love to hear what makes a pen special to you.

Let me know how I can help you find your next favorite pen.
