In this age of digital everything, sometimes the only way to stand out is to revert back to “old school” or traditional stuff. That is a key reason why we are so keen on lenticular promotional products. Lenticular 3D printing’s popularity dates back to the 1940’s.

This type of printing produces images that give and illusion of depth. Remember the prizes inside of a Cracker Jacks box that appeared to move and change? You get the picture. Today we can use the advancements in this technology to take an ordinary key chain and turn it into a promotional item that will create a much stronger connection to your audience.

Whether you use it to promote something retro or you simply want to make a strong impression in this crowded digital world we have a number of great looking lenticular promotional items for you to choose from.

We were recently asked by a client to source the best custom Yo Yo. When the sample came in for us to test the Yo Yo quickly became an office hit. It was like a time machine that took us back 50 or so years.

Instantly we realized that a custom Yo Yo can turn an adult into a child even if it is just for a brief moment, the experience is very refreshing. We researched the history of Yo Yo’s and found out that the Greeks used terra cotta disks to ceremonially offer the toys of youth to certain gods when a child came of age. Amazing that 2500 years later the strong symbolism of the Yo Yo is alive and well.

All of this adds up to why a custom a Yo Yo is an ideal product to connect the recipient to a youthful feeling. It is also a strong connection to the, “up and down” theme.

We can show you custom Yo Yo’s from simple to ones with LED flashing lights. Our experience tells us that simple is best and simplicity will provide the highest value. Check out the features of our favorite Yo Yo.

Features
• Translucent Red – Blue or Green colors
• Imprint area 1 5/8” diameter
• Overall size 2 ¼” diameter x 1” tall
• One color – one side imprint
• Optional two side imprint
• Optional multi color imprint

Let us help reconnect you with your youth and get you a sample so you can put a smile on your face today. Call us at 888-344-6060 or e-mail us at sales@mcmproductions.com

If you know one thing about the team at MCM it is that we are always keeping up with the latest trends and technology in the promotional products industry. As innovative as we aspire to be the majority of the products sold in this almost $20B industry are your basic apparel, pens, mugs and novelty products.

The reality of marketing, branding and merchandising is that not everyone is in front of a digital device all day long and that there are plenty of hours in the day to reach your audience without digital media. This is one of the primary drivers for our, “Marketing a Smile” strategy. Simply put, any time you can put a smile on your audiences face, you create a priceless and indelible moment.

Hand any adult a windup toy and there is an irresistible urge to wind it up and let it run all over the desk. My inner Freud says that windup toys connect us to our inner child and that puts a smile on our faces. When was the last time that you either wound up a key or pulled back on a toy car and watched it race away? Many of the newest windup toys even have “no-fall mechanisms” to prevent them from falling off the table.

We would like to show you a variety of stock and custom shaped windup toys that will put smiles all of your audience’s faces. Need a smile today? Call us for a sample at 888-344-6060 or e-mail us at sales@mcmcproductions.com

Talking buttons, pens and keychains are nothing new.  However, they are an ideal way to market a smile or to broadcast an important message. “Marketing a Smile” is one of MCM Productions core beliefs. We strongly believe that anytime you can put a smile on someone face you have made a profound impact and that is a key element in marketing.

Recently everyone at the office was given a Smartphone. One of the first things we did was load the Talking Tom Cat app. Every time we show this to someone the response is the same. A great big smile! Check out the video clip, it’s priceless.

Let us help you find a way to send your message and put a smile on your audience’s faces. The talking button, talking pen and talking keychain are low cost – high impact products that will accomplish this for you. We used a talking pen as an incentive for clients to sign up for our first blog and the results were sensational. Check out the MCM talking pen in the image in the upper right.

Many talking pen, keychain and button products permit you to record a custom message of up to 10 seconds in length.  For smaller quantity requirements and applications where cost is constrained, we can show you products like the MCM talking pen that has a pre-recorded message. There are over 325 pre-recorded choices to select from.

Back in the 50’s and 60’s we knew this as silly putty. It was a pink colored ball of gooey rubber that every kid had. In today’s world of PlayStations and X-Boxes silly putty looks pretty dated. To baby boomers of which there are about 76 million or 25% of the US population silly putty has a strong emotional connection.

Today we call it Thinking Putty or Promotional Putty and it is an ideal corporate promotional product. From giveaway to employee appreciation gift or even as a brainstorming tool for meetings we see thinking putty as a real multi tasking device.  Unlike the plastic egg that silly putty was packaged in thinking putty comes in a striking customizable tin. There is plenty of room for your logo and your messaging.

Thinking Putty comes in a number of variations so that you can match your corporate theme to a color or unique promotional putty property.

Super Magnetic

Crystal Clear

Since our first post on June 7, Custom Silly Bandz are the most searched for items on our web site. There is no doubt that they are a very popular item from the pre-school set right through to the college crowd.

The good news for us is we have spoken to many new people. The not so good news is that custom silly bandz have some requirements that are not in reach of the average consumer. The three obstacles are:

1. Order minimum is 5000 pieces
2. Price is higher than budget
3. Lead time is longer than expected.

We have some more good news. Don’t despair; there are some really smart alternatives to custom silly bandz. Many of our customers have used these options:

1. Bags of assorted shaped silly bandz with inserts or header tags with your very specific messaging.
2. Awareness bracelets with printed or de-bossed  messages

Every day we hear how our clients would love to have a shape of a school mascot to a brand logo on custom silly bandz. We agree, but the realities of custom products are higher minimums and prices.  It all synthesizes down to identity or brand. This is where MCM can truly help you by stepping back and looking at your goal and objective. Give us a call at 888-34-6060 or e-mail us at sales@mcmproductions.com. We want to hear your story and help you reach your audience.

Trust us when we say that every day we look for the newest and most innovative promotional products on the planet. Remarkably the adage, “What goes around comes around” often makes us stop and look at how some products simply never get old.

Promotional stress balls just work. We are not 100% certain why, but every time we observe someone picking one up there is a “moment”. We call it marketing a smile or a psychologist may tell us it’s a connection to our inner child. We know its smart marketing. Simply personalize a promotional stress ball and you will connect with your audience.  

If you want to take this up a notch we recommend that you let us create a custom stress ball for you. The only catch is that there is a 2500 piece minimum. If you have a CAD drawing of the object you can save time but we can work with an image. Take a look at the custom stress bots we did for Kiva Systems.

If you want to personalize a stock stress ball there are over a hundred different shapes that are in stock and ready for your logo. Take a peek at the samples below. Minimum quantities start at 150 pieces. We can help you make the right selection and promise you a stress free experience.

Whether you need a simple stock shape for your personalized stress ball or want to create a custom stress ball, we have over 20 years of experience in taking the stress out of finding the perfect promotional stress ball for you.

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. Promotional building block sets should be on your list of choices for any project where you need to show the inter-relationship of several key points.   

MCM Productions works only with the highest quality promotional building block set manufactures. Let us help you save time, obtain the most impact and get you competitive pricing. Call us at 888-344-6060 or e-mail us at sales@mcmproductions.com
