Can a promo product define a movement?

Yes, I know, weird question right.  Of course not, there has to be a brand message and a campaign to spread that message dummy.

All of that is true, however I would argue that the right promotional product can bring a personal element to a movement to such an extent, that the product is the driver of the message.  People forget that promotional products have a large impression ratio - think. about walking billboards, i.e. T-shirts as a prime example of wearing your brand out.

Live Strong

Lance Armstrong created this non-profit in 1997 to support people affected by cancer.  Armstrong, a cancer survivor and professional cyclist worked with Nike in 2004 to raise money and brand awareness for cancer patients.
A simple silicone bracelet went on to sell through 80 million bracelets, and Live Strong has become synonymous with healthy living and personal strength.  The simple bracelet has gone on to raise funds for hundreds of organizations and causes - as a symbol of strength, perseverance and in my case, a reminder to Pay It Forward.

MAGA

As some say, don't hate the player, hate the game.  Well, when it comes to the 45th President of the United States, that statement doesn't often hold water as he is the most controversial President in our lifetime.  That doesn't discount that he took a simple phrase, Make America Great Again in to a marketing powerhouse - all driven by a simple, red hat.  The hat quickly became an iconic promo product for Trump supporters, and the visual symbol of his entire campaign.  A simple red cap that literally was picked because it fit the President's head the best, defined his campaign and now his administration.

Your brand can be personalized by the right promotional item, let Whiteboard Promotions extend your brand's reach through branded items that define your brand.

Breast Cancer Awareness: October awareness products!

Breast Cancer is a serious disease that affects 1 in 8 women over the course of their lifetime.  That's not a pretty number for anyone to see, and although the death rates have been decreasing, finding a treatment is no closer to reality.

Organizations such as the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen have done a lot to help raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer, and branded products have been a focal point in raising money.  In that regards, there is an opportunity for brands to show their support for continued research and awareness, plus show that their employees' health is an important issue.

Check out some of the items we have for your Breast Cancer Awareness efforts:

24 oz. Tervis Water Bottle - Great Fundraising opportunities for school!

It's that time of year folks - back to school!  For Parents, well it's a beautiful thing, the kids - not so much...

But, for the schools, it is the start of fundraising time, especially the Private schools.  We have found that a great vehicle for making some extra cash for our schools has been the Tervis brand of products, particularly the 24 oz. Custom Tervis Water bottle.  A lot of schools are allowing kids to bring water bottles to school, but they have to have lids and straws, so as not to make those lovely messes in the hallways.

24 oz. Custom Tervis Water Bottle Embroidered Patch
The Tervis brand of products is great for home and school, as it's pretty much bulletproof, and has a guarantee from the factory.  Plus, the tumblers and water bottles are Made in the ole USA, which is also a nice upgrade.  As a fundraising project, look to sell these at your school for between 20-25.00, with a profit to the school of 4-8.00 per bottle.

Great for showing your school spirit - and raising some extra cash, look at the Tervis Tumbler section on whiteboardpromotions.com

Tervis Tumblers: A fundraising dynamo!


I'm a big fan of the Tervis Tumbler in general - that sucker won't break, holds hot and cold beverages, and doesn't leave the dreaded sweat stain on your furniture.  Plus, the added bonus of it being made right here in the USA, make it the ideal product for promotions.

What my clients have been using these for currently are as fundraising items, specifically because the tumblers will undoubtedly be used in the household - have you been to an SEC tailgate these days, Tervis Tumblers are ALL OVER the place!  Perfect to hold, um, sweet tea...

Anyway, Tervis has now partnered with us to offer special pricing to Whiteboard Promotions clients, so come on by and take a look at the 16 oz. Custom Tervis Tumbler with the Embroidered Patch for your next project.  I especially recommend this logo treatment as it won't rub off and has an upscale look.
