Champagne Glasses Add Class to Your Brand!
Dec 2nd
Special events hosted by your company offer a wide variety of opportunities for you to provide guests you have invited with a gift they can take home. Even better, these gifts can be customized with your company name or logo, so that when they take these gifts home with them or display them in their office, they will think of you and your business whenever they look at it. Or, in the case of such items as champagne glasses, they will think of you when they make their next toast.
This 5 3/4 oz Champagne Flute Glass is a great giveaway that is perfect for special occasion parties you may be hosting for your business. With the holidays around the corner, you will already, of course, be ordering any number of plates and other dining necessities in order to properly feed your guests. Normal custom requires that you also provide a gift for your guests, and if that gift s also their champagne glass, you have fulfilled a number of requirements with just one purchase.
Holiday parties are not the only occasions at which you may want to give a champagne glass as a gift to your guests> You can also make a gift of these glasses at company only parties, such as employee retirement parties, so that they will have a reminder of their retirement celebrations. They can also be great for people in the sports industry or who sponsor sports teams, when the end of season banquets and awards ceremonies come around.
If you would like to make the glass specifically as a gift, you can always place it on a plate at the guest’s place setting and add a bag of candies to the glass so that it is clear they do not have to use the glass during the celebrations. This is a great idea, too, for people who may not be able to attend the parties, but might still like to have a memento of the party.
No matter whether it is a holiday party or another special occasion, custom champagne glasses are an elegant way to promote your business while providing employees and other special event guests with a gift that they will be able to use time and again.

Financial Industry Promos
Nov 16th
Many of Canada’s financial advisors work through a large company, yet they remain a business entity unto themselves. The affiliated company might refer an occasional new client to an individual advisor, but the advisor assumes most responsibility for finding and keeping investors. These advisors rely on financial industry promos to gain and maintain notice of their names.
To keep their name in mind, most advisors favour promotional items that combine a thoughtful gift with a specific function. At the beginning of the year, the financial advisors with Investors Group send a picturesque wall calendar to their clients. They handwrite notes on applicable special dates such as birthdays or anniversaries. This personal touch on a customized promotional item keeps the advisor in mind with each turn of the calendar page.
When a financial advisor meets with her investor for scheduled investment strategy planning, the advisor often leaves behind an imprinted desk accessory. The items rushIMPRINT finds most popular for these meetings are those that have purpose for everyday use. Items such as letter openers, hand sanitizer and magnetic clips are frequently used and rarely hidden in desks. This keeps the advisors name and contact information at an investor’s fingertips.
Financial advisors find that items with their contact information generate referrals from their clients. When an investor’s friend or family member requests the name of a reputable advisor, the items are handy enough to pass the information on immediately. When this happens, financial industry promos pay for themselves.
