George:
My background is in Marketing and I spent a number of years in the promotional products industry. Do a search of an "ASI distributor" in your area while googling "Promotional products" The industry is a tad tricky- you can't buy direct from the producer and you have to go through a distributor- but if you set an appointment with an ASI distributor and get to go into their office- your head will spin. They have everything from towels, to stress balls cups, magnets, keychains, pens etc.
I worked for a company named Buztronics.. The ASI line is at Home page
I loved working for them.. everything they make lights up.. we KILLED at industry trade shows.. Everyone wanted our swag!
The point of any promotional product is that:
1. They will KEEP it within eyeshot (and thus your logo) that keeps you "top of mind"
2. They relate the coolness of it with the coolness of your company!
The stuff this company makes had everyone from kids to grandparents light up like a 4 year old. People would walk around the show and say "What booth did you get that at" Can't put enough of a price on that!!
So in a nutshell:
Find an ASI rep in your area
Ask if they carry "Buzline" or any other line you think is cool
Place an order.. and Begin pulling in the customers :-)
