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.
Oilfield Tally Books are ubiquitous in the oil and gas drilling businesses. Why do we love them? Here are the reasons:
Oilfield Pipe Tally Books
We get to see our corporate logo on the front, every time we use one. They are custom made.
They are weather resistant.
Oilfield tally books (pipe tally books) are a necessity in our business. How else would we make continual recordings of the number of pipes we put down the well?
An optional “stone” pad is available, which is tear-resistant and waterproof, instead of using a paper pad.
Our company information can be printed on the front, the back, and the inside surface of the front and back covers.
An optional plastic insert is available for us to slide in important charts and other papers.
They are dirt-resistant, since the cover is heavy duty vinyl.
What are tally books, and what power do they have for your business?
Custom Pipe Tally Books
Tally books are heavy duty pocket notebooks used to make frequent tabular notes in the work field. They are used by people in the oil and gas and drilling businesses. Drillers need to keep track of each length of pipe they put on the rig. They need a weather-proof pocket sized book to help them keep accurate records.
Custom Tally Books are powerful because they carry your company logo and message to the key people that you want to influence. If you want to influence estimators, inspectors, adjusters, quote-makers, oilfield managers, gas field managers, contractors, builders, construction foremen, hvac, electrical, plumbing, and heating contractors, custom tally books can be your best friends. That’s why companies like your buy and re-order tally books.
The best bosses give their employees a gift that will last a lifetime. They give a Maglite engraved with their logo. Laser engraving looks professional and lasts forever. HOW do you give one? That’s easy, because they come in beautiful presentation boxes. Some of the boxes are hinged plastic gift boxes, with molded areas for the Maglite and batteries. You don’t have to wrap a present like this.
Flashlights have come a long way in the last 40 years. First was the Maglite® adjustable beam, and now the LED bulb! Complete darkness can now become blazing daylight, using just a few AA batteries. It’s no wonder that companies are advertising by putting their logos on engraved flashlights.
Promotional advertising items are ubiquitous. Most businesses use them because they work. Does your business reap the benefits of Promotional advertising items? If not, here are 10 signs that show why you need to use this effective form of advertising.Anodized Carabiner, 65073
Almost nobody comes in your door.
None of your customers refer new customers to you.
The days that businesses around you are busy, yours is not.
People say that you are not spreading good will.
The chamber of commerce never heard of you.
There are no calendars in town that show your company logo and phone number.
No refrigerator in town has your logo on a magnet.
Nobody in town has a pen with your phone number on it.Storm Pen 55327
Notepads and sticky notes are all over town, but none of them has your company logo.
People wonder if you are still open for business.
If these points sound familiar to you, it’s time for you to turn things around. Make your business noticeable, and spread your good will. Pump up your business to a level that it deserves. Promotional advertising items can be a worthwhile investment in your income.

I just came back from a promotional product show in Cleveland, and was surprised to see that Maglite® has come up with 5 new Promotional maglights (Maglites) for businesses. I didn’t know Maglite® Promo had any more tricks up their sleeves. (Maglites® is the correct spelling, but some of my best customers find my website by misspelling the word).
Tony Sabo is our local Maglite® representative. In this picture Tony is showing me the new ML25LT and the new ML50LX. All the new models use 2 or 3 C batteries. That should give you an idea of the size of these gems.

The 5 new torches are available for laser engraving your corporate logo on the barrel or on the head. Companies buy hundreds of promotional Maglites®…..and pass them out to their best clients. They also make great safety awards in manufacturing plants. Here is a glimpse of some of the 5 new engraved flashlights. All of them can be seen (and ordered) here…New Maglite® Flashlights.
A Maglite (or 100 Maglites) with your corporate logo comes with these benefits:
Maglite Flashlights
They advertise your company for many years in the future. Maglites don’t wear out. In general, we offer a limited lifetime warranty in the Western Hemisphere. The warranty is different in other parts of the world, and on different models.
They make your customers and employees appreciate your generosity.
A Maglite engraved with your logo is a useful gift that won’t leave you in the dark.
In the picture below, Tony Sabo, is showing me 2 new models that Maglite is introducing in 2016. Details will be in the next blog article. Tony, the owner of Brickyard Sales & Marketing, is the regional rep for Maglite and other promotional product lines.
