A TSA checkpoint friendly laptop bag is a great choice for an executive gift. For over a decade The TSA checkpoint procedure requires each traveler to remove their laptop from their carryon bag. Manufactures have been constantly improving their products making the removal of the laptop even easier and they have also incorporated a number of traveler friendly features.

Whether your goal is to outfit a sales or technical team or to give a quality gift to a group of executives, these new bags are a great way to proudly display your brand in the market place. Customer feedback has told us that they are also one of the most appreciated and well used gifts.

As a multi-million mile business traveler these are some features to think about.

• Messenger bag style is more compact
• Wheeled style is much easier on the back
• Outside phone pocket is very convenient
• Water bottle holder is helpful for the health conscious
• Metal ring to secure car keys

Stadium seat chairs are a great product for fundraising or associating your brand with sport club.
Anyone who has ever sat on an ice cold bleacher seat will attest that having some padding underneath makes the event that much more enjoyable.

The first question we ask clients that are looking for stadium seat chairs is their price point. If they are looking at spending approximately $3.00, the best option is to use a folding stadium cushion. If they want to spend over $10.00 then we suggest that they look at a folding stadium seat. Both products will cushion the hard bleacher but the seat offers back support and the versatility of reclining.

We have tested both product types and will be glad to share our thoughts. The folding stadium seats proved to be a great addition on a trip down the Green and Colorado rivers proving that these handy seats have a broader functionality than watching a football or baseball game.

Product Features

• Colors – black, blue, green and red
• Minimum order is 150
• Full color imprinting optional
• Rush delivery available
• Stadium seat has adjustable side straps to control angle
• Stadium cushion has elastic straps that act as a closure.

After driving 2000 miles over the Thanksgiving holiday automotive gifts seemed like the perfect topic to blog about. 30 hours is a lot of time to drive but it was apparent that a lot of us are spending more time behind the wheel with commutes getting longer due to traffic or more of us selecting to drive in lieu of flying. 

 We unloaded the car and I was amazed at the number of promotional products that made the trip more pleasurable. 

1. Our trusty Cellmate dashboard help sunglasses and one cell phone.
2. Our dog Rufus’s food and water was smartly stored in a K9 dog travel bag
3. A trunk organizer held gloves, hats and other winter gear. It doubles as our portable ski gear locker also holding helmets and goggles.
4. An auto safety kit contained jumper cables, flares, emergency blankets, gas siphon and more.
5. Coffee was kept warm in an insulated thermos and stainless steel travel mugs prevented spills.
6. 3 ways cigarette charger for phones and GPS
7. Lap top travel case helped the hard drive
8. Back packs held small personal items
9. Compact travel cooler on wheels for drinks and healthy road food
10. Lip balm kept lips moist
11. Anti-bacterial spray kept us healthy and flu free
12. Handi – wipes for cleaning the hands after pumping gas
13. Micro fiber cloth to clean sun glasses
14. LED flashlight
15. Ice scraper
16. Key ring
17. CD holder kept our favorite disks in order 

Each and every item had a logo on it. You don’t need to drive by a billboard anymore, the interior of our vehicles have become a rolling version. Promotional automotive gifts are both extremely practical and they help you send multiple messages showing how you care for your client’s safety and convenience.  

We use this stuff and we know what works. 2000 miles tells the story. Give us a call at 888-344-6060 and we are ready to share what we have learned.  

PS, The Griswolds may have done a better job on their road trip if they were as well equipped.
