Maglites® are great business gifts. Your customers and employees will love to receive them for Christmas. If you want to promote your company, here is how to order a Maglite engraved with your corporate logo:
Find a reputable online company that engraves Maglite® flashlights.
Choose the size and color that would flatter your company.
Get a quote for the quantity that you need. Don’t forget your secretary and relatives.
Send your best artwork file. Vector art is the best art. Examples are .eps, .ai, and sometimes .pdf files.
Place your order.
When it arrives, plan to distribute the torches at a special awards ceremony, a Christmas party, or pass them out to customers when your salesmen visit them.
Reap the benefits of your promotional Maglite® program. You will have happier employees, and loyal customers.

So your boss wants you to check into getting some Maglites® for the next safety awards meeting. He wants each Maglite engraved with the company logo, and “2018 Safety Award”.
Here are the 7 questions he wants you to find answers to….
Can we have them by the end of next month?
Are they available in our corporate colors of green and white?
Can I see a virtual proof before we order?
Can I see an actual sample of the flashlight laser engraved with our imprint, before they are put into production?
Can we stay within our budget?
What kind of art file is needed for the imprint? What is vector art?
Can we open an account, and have Net60 terms?
You can find the answers to all these questions by going online. Find a reputable vendor, and talk to him, to see if he can deliver what you want. If you have any doubts, just call the next vendor in line. The internet is a great place to solve problems like this. What did we do 40 years ago, without the internet? You might not have been able to get these 7 questions answered.
Are you thinking about giving your employees a safety award for having no accidents in 12 months? If you want to use engraved Maglites, here are 5 valuable suggestions:
Plan ahead. Maglite engraving usually takes 1 or 2 weeks. It can be done faster, if you have a short deadline.
Happy Safety Award Employees
Find your best version of your company logo. Vector art is needed for a superior job of engraving. A hi resolution jpg will work, but the promotional product distributor needs to convert it to vector art, the language of laser machines.
Pick a reputable on-line Maglite representative, and one who communicates well with you.
Choose a Maglite that is the right size for your employees. The biggest one holds 4 D cells. The smallest one holds one AAA cell.
Give out your engraved Maglite safety awards at a dinner, or a special meeting. That makes the gift seem more valuable, and memorable.
