>Promotional Gifts of the Season (3) – Greeting Cards UPDATE

>

In my post from October 31st I wrote about the value of sending “Thank You” greeting cards to your clients. I spoke about our wide line of Business to Business greeting cards for all occasions.

Here is a true real-life story. On November 17th I was asked if there was still time to place an order for customized Thanksgiving cards and could they arrive in time to be mailed. I checked with production and two minutes later the reply came back, “Is this afternoon soon enough?”. The order was placed around 10:30 am and was shipped over night. The next morning I checked with UPS and they had been delivered by 9:00 am. I called my client who told me they arrived and she was already addressing the envelopes.

Now we turn our focus to the main Holiday Season, We have a large selection of Holiday and New Year Greetings Card ready for personalization. You can add your logo to any of our cards and even print the envelopes. See our selection of cards and calendar cards here. Place the order now so you have time to address and mail to your clients and friends.

For other ideas visit or blog and promotional sites.

>Promotional Gifts of the Season (5) – Books

>
Are you looking for a gift that will be cherished, shared and handed down? Then consider one of the oldest inventions of the ages. I am talking about books. Books that inspire; books that educate; books that give us pleasure and books that take us to the outer reaches of your imagination.

Books are personal and help us connect with the past, present and the future. A crafted book is not just something that will sit on a shelf, but can be a centerpiece in any room. That is why coffee table books are so popular. After all Kramer on Seinfeld did develop a coffee table book with legs. Seriously consider this a unique gift for clients, employees and family. We take it one step further with custom covers, inserts promo pages and cover imprints. Books may contain your logo, inspiration or thank you letter or theme related copy to remember any event or anniversary.

We have books in almost any category, price range and size. We can search out a title or you may choose from the hundreds of stock titles from the best selling authors, educators, motivators and photographers.

A gift of knowledge and communication is timeless and your recipient will remember who and when they received this wonderful gift.

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they really happened and after you are finished reading one you feel that it all happened to you and after which it all belongs to you.
– Ernest Hemingway
