Diaper Stickers – A Big Hit!

WL Diaper STickerA couple years ago North Point Community Church asked The POP Shop to produce stickers to be put on diapers notifying parents if their child was changed in Waumba Land (pre-school environment).   The diaper stickers were born and continues to be an item that gets talked about, not only with my friends at church who like the idea, but also other churches.  It’s also a great idea for nurseries or pre-schools.  The sticker has check boxes that tell the parent whether the diaper was dirty or wet.  An order from a local church prompted me to share the idea today.  For churches who order by Tuesday Feb 9th I can extend special pricing.  $0.05 per sticker, 2000 quantity minimum. Sticker will print as shown at 1.25″ diameter.  Do you think 2000 sounds like a lot or not enough?  Count how many diapers changed on an average Sunday and multiply by 26 or 52 weeks (depending on if you want a 6 or 12 months supply).   If you don’t have a Waumba Land environment in your church or you want to customize please inquire for pricing.

Did you know the average pen has 8 owners in its lifetime?

I  recently visited a local spa, and was delighted to see one of my client’s pens in a pen cup.  Academy Mortgage was imprinted in white on the Bic Clear Clic in translucent blue with gold trim.  I was reminded CLCL_phto_medof how important pens can be to the marketing mix. Pens are still one of the top promotional products and for good reason.

Did you know the average pen has 8 owners in its lifetime?  And most BIC® brand pens have 10-12 owners because the 1.2 miles of write out has an extended life, allowing your brand to have as many impressions as possible.  A seemingly less expensive product may cost less initially, but most likely will have seen less owners in it’s lifetime.

Check out this variety of BIC pen styles and colors.  http://bit.ly/4alsSA Free Setup, Free Rush and 15% off any Bic pen until 12/31/09 – Promo Code “BicBlog1109”

Always make sure your pen includes your website to maximize the pass along marketing value.  Be sure to get your pens into circulation!  Drop them in pen caddies at banks, salons, doctors, and leave them in the folio at dinner when you sign a credit card slip.  Happy Marketing!

Throwing beach balls into an audience is a great 17outdoor_dkblueway to energize a crowd.  Beach balls can be pricey and very hard to blow up.  Why not try ROUND BALLOONS at your next event!

At a recent Geiger sales meeting, they played the song “Lean on Me” in reference to all of the great support sales people get from the company.  It was great fun to see everyone try to keep them all in the air.  The round balloons were imprinted boldly LEAN ON ME.
