Something New! Take a look at this innovative travel mouse. Aside from its compact size and extremely useful retractable cord, this mighty mouse packs a web key. OK, “web key”, it’s a device, usually a flash drive that automatically links to a pre-programmed web site. If you want to learn more check out our post entitled, “Technology with a Visual Impact”. 

We really like the functionality of a web key to drive traffic to a specific web site. When you try this web key enabled mouse it will become your trusted companion. With a single click on its center button it brings up a pre-programmed web site URL. There is simply no better way to drive your audience to your web site or to a unique landing page. 

Here are some perfect applications for a web key mouse: 

1. Financial Institution or Financial Planner linking to Client login page.
2. Realtor linking to New Listings page
3. On-Line Retailer linking to Today’s Specials page
4. Credit Card company linking to Client Login page
5. Car dealer linking to Make a Service Appointment page 

The options are enormous. I just checked my list of personal password to web sites and it’s over 100. Each of them is a marketing pathway. 

Add in the additional exposure of having your logo in the 1” x 5/8” imprint area and we know you will agree that this travel mouse is a super hero. It comes attractively packaged in a white box. Call us for more info or for a sample at 888-344-6060  e-mail at sales@mcmproductions.com.

Silly Bandz, Silly bands or Squiggle, they go by many different names. Call them what you want, but you need to know they are HOT!!! Look on the arms of grade school children and you will see them everywhere. Just Google the names and you will quickly learn that this is an exploding fad.

Kids are going crazy putting these brightly colored, zany shaped, silicon bands on their arms. The media is abuzz with stories about schools prohibiting students from wearing them on campus. Here’s our take and we will quote Alice Cooper, “School’s Out for the Summer”. Couple this with Silly Bandz becoming forbidden in school and we see a perfect marketing scenario.

Promotional Silly Bandz in custom shapes are going to one of the top products this summer for any event that involves grade school children. We have a supplier that is standing by to create a “custom” shaped Silly Bandz that will tie into your theme or goal of your summer promotion.

Honestly we can’t type fast enough to publish this. You can be the first in your market with a custom promotional Silly Bandz designed just for you. Don’t hesitate as the mercury is rising and the kids are finishing the school year. Call us today at 888-344-6060 and we will get your custom promotional Silly Bandz campaign started immediately.

Looking for niche product for women? Read on. Promotional nail files or custom nail files will make a strong impression. Am I sounding a bit sexist? That is not the intention. How frequently does the average woman grab a nail file and do a quick touch up? Based on my observations, it is a regular occurrence.

Promotional nail files or custom nail files provide what is called a high CPI (cost per impression). Simply put: cost of the product / number of times viewed. A nail file is the ideal product to accomplish this for this niche market and it’s not just for beauty salons either. Think spas, women’s conventions, conferences, sporting events and more.

There are a large number of vendors that offer these, but the key to a successful promotion is selecting the vendor that fits your quality, price and impression goal. That’s were MCM and 23 years of experience will guide you to the right promotional nail file or custom nail file to meet your requirements.

We will take the time to listen to your objectives and show you everything from the basic promotional nail file to the incredibly vivid Fotofile. Fotofile’s tag line is, “If it can be printed on paper, we can put it on a file”.  You have to see one to believe it. Call us for a sample at 888-344-6060 or e-mail sales@mcmproductions.com

WD 40? What has this got to do with my product? When we saw it at the PPAI Show in January, I had a bunch of questions. It took a number of months to see that this is not simply a product that marries well to a metaphorical theme such as making something run more smoothly.

While WD 40 is globally synonymous with its ability to free locked joints, there is a really smart co-branding opportunity here. Take a moment and look beyond the obvious. In addition to the well known properties of the product, you have a BRAND, whose logo and colors are highly recognized. Do you see where I’m going?

Any time you can associate a lesser known brand with one that is one of the most recognizable in the world, you have created a very powerful experience. Here you have it. Without out negotiating with an enormous global company and pay exorbitant royalties, you can Co-Brand with WD 40.

It’s a great one –two bunch. Co-Brand with a global leader and offer your audience a highly sought after product in a pocket sized pen shaped applicator.  This will attract lots of attention and I’m willing to bet that when the pen runs out you will have clients calling and asking if you have any more to give away.

Spatula, new product, this is not a misprint. It’s all about the details.

If you are looking for a product that relates to food, cooking or baking, a spatula is a perfect connection. In a simple non-scientific survey I observed that most spatulas in the average kitchen are in need of replacement. They, like Rodney Dangerfield get “no respect”. I also observed that if you only have one spatula, its shape won’t reach into small corners.

Here’s where our favorite new spatula makes it mark. Its slim design goes where no spatula has gone before. On top of that, it features a silicon head that withstands 500F which means you can use it on an outdoor grill. The white 6” handle has the right amount of flex and plenty of space for your imprint (3/8″H  x 2″ W). The head comes in Red, Green and Blue.

Once you use this, it is destined to become one of your favorite kitchen tools.

Give us a call at 888-344-6060 to see why this new product is perfect for you.

We love how technology products integrate themselves into the promotional products world. Mini Camcorders are making their mark as they have become pocket sized and wallet friendly.

Mini camcorders make exciting and well received executive gifts or are perfect for corporate getaway meetings where filming opportunities abound. Our favorite suppliers can print your logo on the camera case so that your name will remembered each and every time the camera is used.

Worried that these cameras will be too complex for the technology challenged? I picked one up at a recent show and began filming immediately. They are easy to charge using a USB port on your computer or with a wall charger. All are packed with features that you would expect from much higher priced products. Click on the gallery below for the details of 3 of our favorite models.
