When it comes to company holiday parties, it is customary to present the attendees with a small gift. Much like when you were younger and would get treat bags as a small gift for attending a child’s birthday party, the custom carries on into adulthood. It simply changes as we get older, which means a goodie bag may not go over so well with your employees. Which is why custom shot glasses are a great idea for occasions just such as these.

There are actually a growing number of people who collect shot glasses from the various places they have visited, and they often show off their collections when they have guests over. If you’re giving this away to clients or other business partners, they will most likely display the shot glass on their desk or in their office somewhere, providing ample opportunity for your logo to be seen in a variety of situations and settings.

And what better use for your custom shot glass than to use it to make a toast at a special function for your company? A great toast with free shot glasses all around, and you’ll be the subject of future toasts!

Objective: Finding promotional products for an industry conference, with regional marketing considered.

Solution: Wilshire Balloon Wine Glass

An Ontario-based distributor of nutrients and pesticides developed an outstanding reputation among the agricultural, feed, garden, horticultural and lawn companies with which it had conducted business. The distributor is also a well-known sponsor and attendee of association meetings, industry conferences and trade shows.

The CEO of the distribution company, John, understands complacency harms future business, so he was searching for a promotional product to both brand his company and embody the region of the meeting, the city of Kelowna in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, at an upcoming industry conference. The promotional item needed to serve as a reminder of his company’s name, reputation and prominent status in the industry, yet it also needed a relationship to the outstanding wines produced in the valley.

John carefully considered the number of wine-related items at rushIMPRINT. There were many eye-catching, quality products, but the one that spoke to him as most suitable was the Wilshire Balloon Wine Glass. This was the product John wanted to award to the top 1,000 attendees at the conference.

The glass would highlight his logo in style and would provide a subliminal reminder of his distribution business. The bottom of the bowl rested upon four level steps. The steps conveyed John’s message that, regardless of the type of crop, his distribution of nutrients and pesticides help at every step of the growing process. From preparing the soil and planting to the final harvest, he would be there to ensure a bountiful, healthy crop.

Though it was not a deciding factor, John appreciated the other items created to match the glass he chose. He would have the ability to order complementary glasses and decanters for future business meetings and conferences, which would eventually create complete sets for his regular business associates.
The industry conference was successful, and 1,000 people walked away with a tangible reminder of the beauty surrounding the Okanagan Valley and the dedication of John’s distribution company.

As large as they are, energy providers such as BC Hydro and Manitoba Hydro cannot do everything on their own. Almost all large projects require external businesses to perform catering, roadway construction, scrap removal and other necessary jobs. Using energy industry promos may give your company the edge when it comes time for energy providers to award these contracts.

The nearly complete Wuskwatim Generation Project involves services and manufactured components from outside of Manitoba Hydro and the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN), which are the two entities responsible for the development of the station. ATCO Structures received the contract to provide office and living shelters for the employees working on site. The contract for intake gates went to the CANMEC Group.

British Columbia Hydro recently awarded a contract to Armtec Infrastructure to provide BC Hydro’s underground infrastructure products made of precast.

What did each of these companies have in common? They backed the presentation of their winning proposals with items intended to remind the energy providers of their business names. They handed out items such as journals and pens so decision makers could take notes during the presentations. There is a great chance they also presented out business card holders that included the cards of each person in their company that would be involved in the specific area of the project.

rushIMPRINT’s energy industry promos do not take the place of proposals, but they do enhance bids that are strong, sound and financially feasible.

Often, employees receive promotional items that acknowledge their work and dedication. Canada’s insurance sector employs over 2.3 million people, which means insurance industry promos figure largely in the overall percentage of workplace rewards.

For more than a century, The Great-West Life Assurance Company has successfully administered and processed insurance claims. The company also enjoys a very low employee turnover rate. Employee loyalty stems from many perks offered by GWL. In-house gyms, subsidized cafeteria meals and corporate swag reflect only a few of these benefits.

It is not unusual for an employee to walk into his cubicle and find an imprinted coffee mug filled with a tasty treat assortment sitting on his desk to recognize a job well done or a company anniversary.

There are also times that swag has nothing to do with work. Departments that participate in the annual Christmas cubicle decorating challenge present the winners with such gifts as cheese boards for use during their home holiday entertaining.

Regardless of how small, these items go far in instilling employees with the feeling that they are valued, they are important to the company, and their hard work is noticed. Promotional products from rushIMPRINT are quality items that employees will display and use – and feel good about.

The items at rushIMPRINT can be considered an investment: Purchasing imprinted insurance industry promos to reward loyalty is less expensive than regularly going through the process of hiring and training new employees to replace those who have left.

It is a matter of national pride to search out and purchase products made in Canada. Whether the products are gifts, clothing or everyday household products, we relentlessly search for goods that proclaim our country as the originating point. This dedication is just as true of Canadian businesses and the promotional products they choose.

Our business owners understand that a slow economy means less people able to afford the products or services they sell. One way to keep the Canadian economy strong is to keep our citizens employed; after all, employed people have better purchasing power than unemployed people do.

RushIMPRINT Canada puts this concept into practice. They do not bring products here from out of the country. The items sold are shipped to you from within Canada. Canadian employees take part in each stage of the process: ordering, design, manufacturing and shipping.

These employees might not utilize your business directly, but their purchases from your customer base increase the business your clients can do with you. It is a common-sense economic principle: The more Canadian people that are employed, the healthier Canadian businesses become.

Pride in products from Canada does not diminish. During the few years I lived in the United States, the thrill of finding items made in Canada never staled; in fact, it directed me toward the brands that I would consistently look for when household items needed replenishing. This applies to my fellow Canadians and a large number of businesses looking to strengthen Canada’s economy.
