  BIZARRE THOUGHTS

Spring Is In The Air

With the first day of spring behind us and daylight savings underway the anticipation of warmer weather and all the things that go with it, have given me a much needed boost of energy.  BBQ's, Swimming, Camping and Roller Blading with the family is just around the corner and I can't wait.

Golf is another past time I enjoy and can't wait to get back at.  Golf and Promotional Products go together like bread and butter.  Every successful Golf Event has some type of Promotional Product to back it up.

Golf Related Promotional Products have steadily increased in volume year after year, from Golf Tournaments to just basic give-a-ways to employees and customers you can't miss with a great Golf Related Promotional Products.

  CASE STUDIES

Class: Tutorial Programs

Type: Under $10 Per Recipient

Objective: To reinforce instructions to retailers.

Strategy and Execution: Unlike other brands, Claussen's pickles needed to be refrigerated, thereby attaining the crunchiness that consumers expected. But consumer complaints indicated to management that retailers sometimes neglected to store the pickles cold.

Claussen management addressed the problem through retailer education. Memos were mailed to 1,800 supermarket meat buyers thanking them for their business and reminding them of the importance of keeping the pickles refrigerated. To reinforce this message, the memo was accompanied by a special mug with an embedded refrigerant that helped keep beverages cold. Imprint copy ("cold, crisp & delicious") on the mug alluded to what was expected of the company's properly stored brand.


Results: "Extremely positive" reaction from recipients, according to a Claussen spokesperson.

Is Your Business In S.H.A.P.E.?

S – Serving. Being a leader in many ways is about serving others. We serve our clients and many successful leaders also give back to their communities and their industry. Get involved. 

H – Heart. Do you truly care about what you do? Do you have the heart to serve your clients, or do you just want to sell “stuff?” Having a heart will be an asset to your business endeavors.

A – Ability. Can you gain additional knowledge that will enable you to be more effective in your life and business? Take advantage of opportunities to continue your education through books or education sessions.

P – Personality. Building a business is actually about building relationships. If you’re sincere, your personality will reflect it, and both you and your business will benefit.

E – Experience. Your life’s experiences will play a role in your business success. Draw from the things you’ve learned throughout your career. Whether you’re brand new to the industry or a seasoned pro, you bring experience to your business that will benefit those you serve.
