Custom promotional calendars appear to be an ideal product. They can be if the user remembers that a well designed calendar sends messages that should be viewed over 12 months. Prior to digital technology the promotional calendar was the de facto ‘sticky” marketing device. Simply put, it sat on a desk or hung on a wall for 12 months. It’s CPI (cost per impression) was unbeatable.

While today’s younger demographic may load everything of importance on to the latest 4G phone, there are over 70 million Baby Boomers in the US. They control 80% of the personal financial assets and over 50% of the discretionary spending power. Those are some serious numbers and if they are your target audience, this group is more likely to still be using a calendar than an iPhone or Android phone to manage their schedule.

One way to leverage this phenomenon is to use a MousePaper ® Calendar. It packs the benefits of a custom promotional calendar, note paper and a mouse pad all in one product. Think outside the traditional mouse pad. You can start the calendar at any month, add a unique message, product or event on each of the 12 pages all on top of your custom image. For an even more powerful message you can insert pages between the months. If you are thinking about a 12 month campaign this is one product that you must consider. It also relates to the younger demographic as they probably use a mouse enabled PC at work.

If you are looking to make your next promotional campaign stand out, give us a call at 888-344-6060.

Promotional building block sets continue to be a popular and versatile product. We like to call these classic products. Just look at how Legos have grown in popularity and recognize that this iconic firm has been around since 1932.

Four generations have been playing with building blocks and apparently our infatuation with them is growing. Deep in our genomes we obviously have a need to build things. Perhaps it’s a primal instinct to obtain shelter. These blocks connect us with our inner child and they put a smile on everyone’s face.

When you add in the messaging potential, these promotional building block sets become a powerful vehicle to deliver both a visual and symbolic message. They are perfect for campaigns that involve building on a theme or depicting multiple layers of a strategy.

Take a look at the gallery below to see how many stock shapes are available. If you have more time, we can help you design a custom shape that will heighten your impact.

Are you looking for a perfect exclusive corporate gift? We fell in love with this product when we received a set of these coasters as a gift. Was it the look and feel of the tumbled Botticino marble that is reminiscent of the Coliseum in Rome? Maybe it was the clearly imprinted nautical chart of our home port? What ever it was, these coasters sit in our living room and are admired by our frequent guests.

It did not take long for us to realize that they are a solution to many of our clients who are seeking an exclusive gift for a group of corporate executives. The quality and impact is timeless and they won’t get stuffed in a drawer. While we are partial to maps you can let your imagination run wild with different images. Our secret tip is to save the corporate logo for the cork on the back of the coaster.

We are confident that these marble coasters will make a lasting impression at your next board meeting or executive retreat. These are some of the most unique and lasting exclusive corporate gifts you will find and we know they will be a big hit.

We just returned from a major trade show and there is so much to talk about. There are many individual products to talk about and we will show you them over the next several weeks.

Perhaps the most significant observation was the presence of Name Brands. For decades the promotional products industry was limited house brands that were not recognizable to the average consumer. While the products offered quality and value the consumer was going through change and was becoming more and more brand conscious. Our clients were calling out for highly prestigious products like Nike and Cutter & Buck, while still wanting their logo on the garment.

The promotional products industry at $18b is by no means small. Many of the brand name companies have made a radical switch and are marketing their well known marks to the promotional products industry. This is not just limited to apparel. We saw products ranging from the latest Garmin GPS to the newest golf bags from Ogio.

Think Waterford, MoMa, Visconti, Callaway, Hammacher Schlemmer, Ping, Taylor Made and Adidas. It’s a long and impressive list.

When you want to associate your brand or message with a major brand, give us a call and we can get you started. 888-344-6060

You have heard us speak about CPI (cost per impression). It’ simply a way to measure the cost of a per view of a product to determine its financial effectiveness over its life span. Old School thinking made us put magnets on anything that they could stick to including the ubiquitous refrigerator door. Then came the fancy stainless steel doors that we did not want to mire and then the message out lost in the lists, calendars, sticky notes and school projects that wall papered the enamel door.

About ten years ago came the PC. They are at work, at home, the coffee shop and the airport. How many times per day do you see the mouse and the proverbial mouse pad?
The CPI value is enormous.

MCM has a very special supplier in this product and we would love to tell you more about them. Click on our Cyber Store and then pick up the phone and call us at 888-344-6060. We have some great ideas to share.
