			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently after meeting with a longtime business acquaintance, he mentioned that he likes to give a small plain tablet and a pen to his clients to thank them.  They spend hundreds of dollars a year and his acknowledgement is less than a dollar&#8230;that&#8217;s budget friendly but there&#8217;s a way he could stand out to his customers.  Full color tablets cost only pennies more and would be useful.  Same with the pens, anyone can give a cheap, blank pen but one with your logo or contact information helps keep your name circulating.  Why be in business if you don&#8217;t want referrals?  Are you doing a tradeshow or attending a networking event and need something to get remembered by the attendees?  Each time your recipient writes a note to a co-worker, teacher, milkman or any other person they drop a note to, your information can be in the recipient&#8217;s hands.  Twenty five sheet tablets are 3-1/2&#8243; w x 8-1/2&#8243; h and can be mailed in a regular business envelope or tucked in a folder or dropped in a tradeshow bag.  Can be lined or have graph, full color graphics.  You choose what goes on the tablets&#8230;and it&#8217;s no additional for the full color.</p>
<p>Min is 500 tablets at 45 cents, 1000 tablets 30 cents ea, 2000 28.3 cents ea, 5000 26 cents ea.  Tax and shipping additional.  Order yours today!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Pens make great silent business marketing partners.  Average pen has 7 owners so who knows where your pen will end up?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time to start thinking about what you will hand out at your trade show booth in 2010.  You want something people will keep, use and remember where they got it.  Pens are very popular items to hand out.  They come in all kinds of price points so there&#8217;s a pen for everyone&#8217;s budget.  A nice pen that someone uses every day can make a great marketing tool at a trade show or networking event.  Industry experts say that the average pen has 7 owners.  People pick a pen up here, leave it as they sign a receipt or write a note, the next person picks it up and does the same and so on.  The person you originally handed it to may not be the eventual one who keeps it so make sure your contact information is on the pen as well as what you do if it&#8217;s not obvious from the name.  Good pens make great silent marketing partners. Time and again people report they got referrals from someone saying, &#8220;I have a pen and here&#8217;s the name of a plumber, attorney, etc.&#8221;   Lastly, why wait until just before the trade show or event, order your items today and you will be set when the event rolls around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Do you have last minute money or line item in your marketing budget to spend down by the end of the year?  Why not get a jump on 2010 by ordering now to create buzz in your tradeshow booth or organization?  There are just a few business days before the end of the year and we have time to put orders in and get them processed in 2009.   You will receive the items in early-mid January if you order right away.  Do you need pens?  We do have quick turn on some popular pens if you need them before the end of 09.   Will you do tradeshows or thank volunteers or boards or employees 2010?  Great for safety program or marketing money that needs to be spent now.  We have heard UPS is going up in 2010 so order now to avoid higher fees.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you do booths at tradeshows?  Recently this writer attended a tradeshow in beautiful Snowmass, Colorado.  Great conference sponsors, wonderful array of ideas.  Some gave out wrapped candy, off the shelf, nothing special or attached to it.  Most didn&#8217;t have a dish or bowl, just a pile quickly poured out on the tablecloth in their booth.  Yes, people stopped by to pick up a piece.  What is the point?  To capture passerbys&#8217; interest, a fun bowl, hat, box, something that shows you put a little thought into it could have been the candy dish.  Candy is great, wrapped it is sanitary, but when unaccompanied by a card, slogan or even a slip of paper, no one remembers where they got that chocolate kiss or peppermint candy.   Using shaped keychains, shaped chocolates, mints, any imprinted item so that the recipient remembers your name or service is the &#8220;key&#8221;.  A couple of safety related vendors handed out seasonal items.  One had imprinted sunscreen packets, another had hand sanitizer with their name printed.  For tradeshow success, keep in mind the reason you are there&#8230;to help attendees remember YOU when they need your service or business.  Promotional products are a part of your tradeshow success plan.  Need items to promote yourself-contact us.  cheryl@thankem.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring and gardening are just around the corner.  If you are doing a tradeshow booth this spring, or want to grow your business, here&#8217;s an idea.  Seed packets with your name and info on it are great this time of year.  There are business cards with seeds imbedded you can hand out to get people to remember your name.  Also available are postcards and bookmarks with seeds.  Another idea are mugs shaped like a claypot as well as flower pots that can be imprinted with your name, slogan or logo.</p>
<p>One way to get people to your booth at a tradeshow is to give something with perceived high value.  A garden apron filled with 3 garden tools would catch attention. </p>
