Fun, Inexpensive Summer Giveaways
Want some effective and inexpensive ways to promote your brand this summer? We've come up with some low-cost product ideas for the top three most popular events of the summer.
Company Picnics
Company picnics are a great time to improve employee morale by giving our inexpensive gifts to your employees and their familes. You have two types of groups at company picnics, your employees and their kids. It is a good idea to promote to both of these groups because it builds great relationships with your employees.
For The Kids - Unless you are planning on having an indoor picnic, the kids will be running around like crazy outdoors. Why not cater to their playful habits? While everyone is enjoying the outdoors, items like toy water guns are great ways to keep the kids entertained and let them have fun.
For The Grown Ups - The adults would enjoy having some inexpensive toys as well. A folding can cooler sleeve is an inexpensive giveaway that grown ups can use to keep their beverages cold while enjoying your party.
Beach Promotions
During the summer, tons of people race to the beach to enjoy the great weather. While they are soaking in the sun, you can be promoting your company. By gearing your promotions to certain age groups, you are creating relevant and fun campaigns for your recipients. Here are some suggestions.
For The Kids - To really help your beach promotions take flight, items like fold up nylon flyers are perfect ways to attract attention to your brand. The imprint area is large enough for everyone to see your logo, and parents love giving their children toys to play with. The fliers are also packable, which makes them easy to carry around.
For The Adults - A great way to get on the good side of your adult customers is to help them protect their valuables at the beach. Giving out inexpensive waterproof ID cases would make great giveaways.
Parades & Fairs
Fairs and parades are another perfect opportunity to hand out cheap giveaways. In fact we even suggest that you check your local community calendar for various events in your area that you can participate in. Here are some ideas that we put together.
For The Kids - Attention getters like Morph Balls are great items for kids. As they are tossed in the air, the colors change; making this an eye-catching promotional item that kids will enjoy playing with.
For The Grown Ups - For adults, you may want something a bit more interactive. An item like the LED mini message fan will grab attention with its flashing lights making this item a great way to cool off parents and advertise your brand at the same time!

| Upcoming Promotional Event Dates
|

June is National Safety Month. This holiday is very important to the manufacturing and construction industries. With the high cost of disability rates and the costs of insurance rising, it is important to encourage safety in the work place.
For this type of event, reflective clothing like neon reflective caps, or reflective products for the clothing like the flashing buttons are excellent ways to raise safety awareness. You can also use a lot of other forms of safety education such as utilizing the "Think Safety" products. Whenever your employees perform their daily routines, they will have a constant reminder that safety should be their first priority.
Plan ahead and take advantage of the following promotional opportunities. You'll find a wide choice of personalized products as well as pre-decorated items that feature unique messages and slogans to help you celebrate your event.

| Summer Totes for the Beach and Park |
|
Have you ever gone to the beach or park and failed to see a summer tote? Probably not. These amazing totes are not only great for carrying everything you need for a trip to the beach or the park, but with such a huge imprint area, your logo will definitely get noticed. We put together some of the cool features that make totes so great:
Mesh - As you know, when you are at the beach, sand gets everywhere. A great solution to this problem is carrying your items in a tote bag that has a mesh material. A tote bag like the Mesh Beach Tote is great for the beach. The mesh will let any sand that gets in, fall out. This is a great way for keeping your belongings virtually sand free.
Tote with Cooler - No day at the beach would be complete without a cold beverage. With a tote bag like the Insulated Non Woven Cooler you can carry all your beach or park essentials, and keep your food or drinks cold.
Jumbo Size - The Seaside Jumbo Tote with Rope Handles is a great example of a beach and park bag that can carry anything you could possibly bring with you. These bags are big enough to hold everything you would need at the beach (beach towels to sunscreen, etc.) and many of your personal items as well. They aren't only great for the beach, these totes are also seen hanging from many celebrities' arms as well!

| Custom Promotion Gives Customers Brand-Boosting Surprise for Heaven Hill Distilleries' Popular Liquor Import |
Challenge: Think outside of the promotions box to create a unique, new
promotion suitable for hosted events in entertainment and dining venuess
After developing a large and loyal following in major metro markets across the
country through intensive viral marketing and memorable, Hpnotiq-hosted
celebrity events, Hpnotiq has become one of Heaven Hill's most successful
imported offerings and one of the most successful brands in the spirits
industry. To continue their brand's "splashing" success, Team Hpnotiq connected with Major Accounts Specialist Carrie Sleva, who has worked with Heaven Hill before on other promotions.
This time, however, the team wanted a new promotion-something unique, something fun, something no one had ever seen before. The promotion also needed to suit the atmosphere of bars, clubs, restaurants and other similar venues where Hpnotiq hosts its acclaimed celebrity and consumer events. The challenge here was to get creative-to think outside the traditional promotions box, go beyond the products on the ePromos Web site, and even beyond the products typically provided by our source suppliers.
Solution: Custom-molded, collectible ice-cream sticks in the brand's signature color
Carrie and Team Hpnotiq worked together to dream up an entirely new promotion especially for the Hpnotiq brand-custom molded ice-cream sticks. The plan: at each Hpnotiq event, give away Hpnotiq ice pops. Recipients enjoy the frozen treat-as well as the custom surprise inside. The custom sticks, each with a raised logo and in the signature Hpnotiq blue, are more likely than wooden sticks to be saved as a collectible, thus reminding recipients of the event-and the Hpnotiq brand-for years to come.
Result: Feedback from the client is excellent and strengthens the growing relationship with ePromos
Team Hpnotiq is pleased with the result: they report that the branded ice-cream sticks are a success, helping Hpnotiq find its way into the hearts and homes of lovers of fine spirits across the country.
