What customer would turn down an American-made Maglite engraved with the logo of their favorite restaurant? The business owner knows that their logo will last forever on a Maglite. He knows that a $500 ad in a newspaper lasts only one day. How many years of advertising will $500 worth of Maglites deliver? Today’s savvy business owners know the power of promotional products. They know the power of an American-made brand name–a name known around the world.
Celebrate Presidents Day with Promotional Maglites
Happy Presidents’ Day! Today isn’t just a day to celebrate Washington, Lincoln, and the presidents of generations past, but also a day to celebrate the presidents of our generation.
Did you know…
In 1885 George Washington’s birthday became a federal holiday
In 1971 the holiday’s name changed to “President’s Day”
Under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971, the government changed many federal holidays from specific days to a series of predetermined Mondays, creating more 3-day weekends for workers.
With many businesses and restaurants temporarily (or permanently) closed, I have spent much of my spare time going outdoors with my family. We go on hikes and walks whenever we have the chance. Today is Play Outside Day, so take this as a sign to get out there and enjoy some fresh air. Take a deep breath and let your worries float away.
(And I would suggest taking one of these promotional Maglights with you in case it gets dark while you’re out!)

Across the U.S. and Canada today, people will be eagerly watching the news to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow or not. It’s a funny superstition, but one that has persisted since the mid-19th century.
What’s your vote?
Will he see his shadow, foreshadowing 6 more weeks of winter?
Or will he not see his shadow, bringing on the spring season?
(If he doesn’t see his shadow, that means it’s a cloudy day and will most likely need one of these engraved flashlights) –>

Flashlights aren’t what they used to be. Do you remember the big old ones of the 1950’s? They had an incandescent bulb and 2 D batteries. The bulbs would burn out once in a while, the batteries would leak and destroy the flashlight. Or you would drop it and break the glass lens.
Engraved Flashlights Enter the Technology Era
Then came the 6 volt lantern batteries and the accompanying lantern flashlights. They were very bright and would last a long time. But, same old incandescent bulb.
Then in 1979 Anthony Maglica invented and manufactured Maglites. This flashlight had a rugged aluminum barrel, and was well built. Still it had the same old incandescent bulb.
The era of technology then drove Mr. Maglica to change the bulb (and the accompanying circuitry) to the LED bulb. I don’t know the year of this change.
Now, in 2021, Some engraved flashlights use COB bulbs, which are even brighter than LED bulbs. And some circuits even make it possible to have different light levels, flashing, strobing, and SOS blinking.
Flashlights have come a long way since the 1950’s. Let’s remember this on January 6, National Technology Day.
It’s been a rough year, to say the least. Thank goodness it is almost over.
Between the global COVID-19 pandemic, social justice protests, and the presidential election, we all deserve for 2021 to start off on a better foot.
What better (and funny) way to end the year than by getting a Maglite engraved with “Good Riddance 2020” for all of your employees and favorite customers?
Today is a day where you can exhale and relax- Christmas is upon us. How do you like to celebrate Christmas Eve? By playing Christmas carols, preparing a yummy dinner for your family, wrapping gifts, sitting around the fire?
Celebrate this evening with peace and joy in your hearts. Have a very Merry Christmas!
(And we hope tomorrow you’ll be lucky enough to receive a gift of promotional Maglights!)
