Golf Shirts: 2013 Fashion
Golf shirts are a great choice for Spring – fashionable golf shirts outlast a golf tournament and work themselves into their owners’ daily wardrobe. This year, look for two-tone golf shirts, moisture-wicking fabric, retro style fabric collars, and snaps (rather than buttons).
Callaway Golf Shirts
Callaway golf shirts come in a wide variety of styles this year including: contrasting collars, textures, prints, and always top Callaway quality.
Sunice
Nike Golf Shirts
High quality brand name Nike golf shirts in bright colours.
Stormtech

Promotional Holiday Gifts: Food and Chocolate
Promotional Holiday Gifts
Food and chocolate make wonderful gifts for your clients during the holidays. Gifts of food speak to our instincts as human beings and are a sign of nurturing and hospitality.
Ordering Promotional Products
It’s fun to play Santa, but it’s also smart to plan ahead so that you have the whole month of December to distribute your gifts rather than one very busy night! Give yourself at least two weeks to make contact with your clients and get your gifts to the right people – you don’t want to miss clients who are taking vacation time and also be aware that some businesses close early for the holidays.
Promo Products in 2013
Chocolate, cookies and candies are excellent choices for holidays and promotion all year long. Start thinking about your order approximately one month before you want to receive your shipment – your order should be placed mid-month at the very latest.
Follow me on Pinterest or Twitter, join my Facebook page or call me now for more ideas.

Promote You is now on Pinterest and Twitter
One of the fun (and challenging) things about social media is that things are always changing. New platforms appear and others fade (anyone still have a MySpace account?!). This month, I’ve started pinning and tweeting. Pinterest is a fun way to keep things fresh and get inspired by other people, and I’m finding Twitter to be a fantastic way to stay connected to my local community.
Promote You on Twitter
I’ve started following local news sources and city twitter accounts, such as @MayorWatts and @surreylibrary. I also follow business resources like @mashable and @BCBusiness.
Promote You on Pinterest
So far, my Pinterest billboards are more of a reflection of who I am personally, rather than my business. But then again, my business is also a reflection of my personality.

Retro Promotional Products
Some clothing items are instant classics, while other promotional products are fun because they evoke fashions from the past…
The Ringer Tee
If you lived in or around Vancouver in the 80s this shirt, featured at Honey Pie Vintage, should look very familiar. The McBarge (the floating McDonalds) has been towed away and the Scream Machine (the rollercoaster) has been relocated, but the ringer t-shirt has made a solid comeback. .
Fun Souvenirs and Promotional Items
At some point in the 70s, visitors could take the Calgary Stampede home with them and relive the excitement around the kitchen table at family game night (game featured at Toronto vintage store Ethel’s blog).
You can pay homage to the ‘good old days’ with a bluetooth retro handheld phone – people will love showing off this fun promotional item:
Check out the article that inspired this blog post: Apple’s Insanely Great 1986 Clothing Line by Neha Prakash at Mashable.com.
