Promotional Coasters Help Canadian Beer Company Improve their Eco-Friendly Image

Beer and gardening: While they typically don’t go together, they mesh perfectly in Molson Canadian’s new promotion. The beer company is using plan-table  custom coasters to generate buzz for its Red Leaf Project, an effort to help beautify Canada.

Consumers can pick up specially marked boxes of the brew to snag a promotional coaster, which, when planted and nurtured, will grow into a stately Black Spruce.

This promotional product is a perfect fit for Molson, which is striving for a more sustainable image. The custom coasters boast the company’s signature shades of red, white and blue, and they clearly state the mission of the promotion: To make Canada better, one beer at a time. Cheers to that!

KennedyPromo-Tip: Many promotional coasters, because of their slim design, are excellent for direct-mail campaigns.

Fire Up A Promotion With Custom BBQ Gifts

Seventy-one percent of all Americans own a grill, and 74 percent use their grill at least once a week, according to the 2012 Weber Grill Watch Survey. Are they using custom BBQ gifts featuring your company’s logo? They should be.

With the summer season upon us, you can bet grill masters will be out in full force, flipping those burgers and juicing up that chicken.

Come Memorial Day, an estimated 71 percent of grill owners will fire up their backyard grill for some flame-kissed fare, a 10-percent jump from last year.

“We continue to see a rise in the number of people grilling for nearly all major holidays, including Memorial Day, the Fourth of July (90 percent), Father’s Day (53 percent) and even birthdays (76 percent),” Brooke Jones, director of marketing for Weber-Stephen Products LLC, the world’s leading manufacturer of outdoor gas and charcoal grills and grilling accessories, said in a press release.

In honor of it being National BBQ Month, we polled our fans at www.facebook.com/kennedyadvertising to find out your favorite grub for grilling. The results are in:

• 50% love burgers
• 29% choose steak
• 14% prefer fish
• 7% enjoy hot dogs

If you love grilling out, chances are your customers do, too. Equip them with promotional BBQ tools to enhance their grilling experience and to get your brand, logo and message out there.

Now’s the time to give custom BBQ gifts—don’t wait until the end of summer. We have a full lineup of Promotional BBQ Accessories, from logoed aprons to custom grilling gift sets.

Pack A Punch With Packaging

How do you take your vodka? How about in a reusable, stainless steel canteen? It’s an unconventional idea, but it’s one that’s getting KRU 82 vodka some serious attention on the shelves.

One liquor outlet in the New York metro area reported that 80 percent of customers wanted to try KRU 82; a normal taste test only attracts about 30 percent of customers. The liquor outlet sold 20 cases in a matter of days. The owner says the packaging is the reason for the swift sales.

26 oz. Stainless Steel Drink Bottle conveys style and outdoorsy appeal. Hikers can pack some glasses and vermouth in their backpacks, and voila: martinis on the slopes. Or not. It’s just nice to have the option. This packaging also appeals to the green crowd.  It’s 100-percent BPA-free and shatterproof, so users can refill and reuse.

KRU 82 stands out from other vodkas because of its distinctive packaging. So we say: Ditch the proverbial bottle. Dare to mix it up with your packaging. 

Promo know-how tip: Presentation matters. Polish your campaign with the right packaging, whether it’s a drawstring jute bag or a glossy gift box.

The eBook Phenomenon And Why It Matters to the Future of Your Business.

When the Amazon Kindle first hit the market in 2007, a lot of people were skeptical. Would people really welcome the age of digital books with open arms? A few years later it’s safe to say that the answer to that question has been a resounding YES.

While print books aren’t quite dead yet, Amazon reported nearly a year ago that consumers were already buying more Kindle eBooks than print books! The speed of this transition has been impressive, considering Amazon had been selling print books for 15 years and eBooks for less than 4 when digital copies won the top spot.

The success of eBooks isn’t limited to just Amazon and its Kindle. The entire industry is pushing more digital copies now thanks to the popularity of mobile devices like eReaders and iPad-style tablets. In fact, eBook sales tripled from 2010 to 2011 and are expected to reach a staggering $9.7 billion by 2016. With such aggressive growth on the horizon, now is the time for your business to ride the coattails of these skyrocketing trends!

Spring is here with Summer not too Far Behind! Is Your Business Ready for some Golf?

According to a 2009 study, CEOs who don’t play golf are paid 17% less (on average) than those who do!

Golf has long been considered a favorite sport of business professionals, buy why? Julian Small, CEO of Wentworth Golf Club in London, has a few ideas. First, golf is a sport that accommodates players of every age – even frail 65-year old bosses can get it on the action without taking health risks. Secondly, thanks to the handicap system, players at different skill levels can still enjoy competitive matches against each other without embarrassment. The third reason, and maybe the most important, is that golf isn’t exactly the most action-packed sport in the world. This means in a four-hour game, most of the time can be spent talking business, with short breaks to actually, you know – play the game.

Small also thinks that golf can be a good judge of a person’s character. The best players are those who perform well under pressure, stay even-tempered, and think strategically.

With golf season starting to ramp up across the country, your business has the opportunity to reach golf-loving business professionals in the places where they are making their biggest decisions: on the green! Here are a few best-selling promotional golf gifts that span the gamut from budget-friendly to “wow!”

Logo golf towels are a nice mid-range gift for golfers. These towels come with a special hook that allows you to affix the towel to your golf bag where it will be on display all day long. Golf towels are used to clean balls, clubs, and wipe that stray bit of sweat from your forehead during tense matchups. They are available in a variety of colors to match your corporate color scheme, and provide a large space for your logo or marketing message. For more Information, drop us an email to KennedyPromos@Gmail.com

For the most important occasions, milestones, and business relationships, you need to pull out the big guns. This custom leather golf shoe bag is guaranteed to wow any true golf fan. This quality gear bag keeps expensive shoes and other accessories in good shape, and it looks great while doing it. Putting your logo on a top-tier golf gift like this one is going to associate with your brand with quality, class, and attention to detail.

Custom golf tees and Ball Markers are great for smaller budgets or companies trying to reach large audiences. This simple accessory is a must-have in any gear bag, and is comparable to giving out inexpensive logo pens in a corporate office environment. They are cheap, useful, and used often. Imprint your company name and contact info so that clients remember your business during every one of their golf outings. For more Information, drop us an email to KennedyPromos@Gmail.com
