Why Your Boss Wants You To Order Promotional Advertising Items

7075 Wall Calendar

Promotional advertising items have been used for about a century. Company owners use them to cordially spread their advertising message to their customers and to the general public. Promotional advertising items are the pens, calendars, flashlights and coffee mugs that are around us all the time. They are the only form of advertising that is truly “appreciated”. When most other forms of advertising may be considered intrusive and annoying, promo products are welcomed by all recipients. Promotional pens and calendars could be called “trojan ponies” by advertising companies. Little by little, they carry your advertising message and logo to the people who may become your customers.

Why does your boss want you to order them? Let’s face it, he’s busy running the company. He trusts that you can pick the details, the imprint color, and the size of the product. You can rely on the help from promotional product distributors to accomplish this fun job. When the order is done, your boss and sales force can pass them out at the next trade show. And they have you to thank for making the ordering process a success.

Some of the most popular items are MagLites®, BIC pens, Lufkin tapes, wall calendars, Thermos water bottles, Leatherman tools, and pocket knives.

4 Quick Tips About Pipe Tally Books

Are you looking for a good deal when you order custom Pipe Tally Books? Here is some simple advice from a person who has been selling tally books to oil and gas drilling companies for 25 years.

High quality is better than cheap price. Get pipe tally books that have a sewn pad, instead of glued-in pages. You want this to be a permanent record of field data. You don’t want the pages to fall out, and get mixed up. Stone pads (instead of paper pads) are now available. They are waterproof, and won’t tear.
Custom Pipe Tally Books

Pick the best type of imprint. A full-color imprint protected by a layer of clear vinyl will hold up the best in all kinds of weather.
Find a company that has above average service. A company with a well-designed website that is easy to use, and makes ordering fun, is a company that will deliver what you want. Fly-by-night companies will have a cheap looking website.
Quantity. Buy a quantity of custom tally books sufficient to last you a while. The shelf life of a tally book is very long. You will get a better price if you order a larger quantity.
