Hey, Sexy Promo

Thursday, October 18th, 2012

Not long ago I promised someone that I’d cut-back on using the word “sexy” in blog posts.  In this case, however, I claim an exemption.  With Gangnam Style fever taking over the world (except, oddly, for Japan, according to this article from TIME),  we had to jump on the bandwagon and show you how to Gangnam-Style your logoed merch.

8 swag picks for man’s best friend

Thursday, August 23rd, 2012

It’s no secret that RIGHTSLEEVE loves our four-legged friends. Besides having one canine on staff, 60% of our employees own a pet which puts us well above the averages for dog (39%) and cat (33%) ownership in the US.

So, it’s natural that we’d want to marry two of our staff loves, pets and swag, for a blog feature.

Top 8 List of logoed items for pets and pet lovers.

Pet Clothing

Pre-season is under way and we think humans shouldn’t be the only species to show our pride on game day. Get your four-legged companions in on the fun with pet football jerseys.

In the Office

If you’re lucky enough to bring your pooch to work, set them up to be comfortable during the 9-5. Welcoming a new dog-lover to your workforce, these also make for a great logoed gift.

An easy to transport portable pet bed helps bring the comfort, and smell, of home on the road.  Roll it up and you’re on your way.

This collapsible water bowl also makes for easy puppy lunch-ware in the office.

On Your Desk

If you can’t bring your pet to work with you, they can still be with you in spirit.  These desk accessories can help keep you inspired, and less stressed, during your work day.

Rounding out the Pack

A dog without a leash is like…Fifty Shades of Gray without a leash.

And, finally, just because we love our pets doesn’t mean we want to take pieces of them everywhere with us. This lint pack has been RIGHTSLEEVE-tested and does a great job of grabbing fur from your clothing…stash it in your bag, desk, or car.

We want to hear from the pet lovers out there.

At our house, we’ve had loads of fun with cats and dogs using our “laser bunny”  to play chase around the floor.

What’s the best product you’ve ever used for, or with, your pet?

8 items to trick out your mobile office

Thursday, July 12th, 2012

Today’s workforce has become increasingly mobile. From home to Starbucks to the car, sales staff can spend the majority of their day out in the field and away from their office-based rock ‘em sock ‘em productivity tools.

The RIGHTSLEEVE staff are no exception and are often out and about at client meetings, so I asked them for their favorite promo items to outfit their on-the-go office.

The RIGHTSLEEVE Top 8 List for Mobile Promo Items

 

Fuel Yourself
The first time the RIGHTSLEEVE staff saw the Metro Mug from SIGG, we all fell in love. Seriously.  The SIGG  brand is near and dear to our hearts and this travel mug is sexy and functional at the same time.  No BPA.  No taste residue. No leak.  No-brainer.

Fuel Your Gear
Now that your liquid energy is safely housed, make sure you don’t get caught with a dead phone, tablet, or laptop.   The Powertrip is an award winning mobile charger with up to 16GB of built-in storage.  Charge it via wall socket, usb port, or solar panel.  Patricia is a fan of the Powertrip.
Stay Organized
Life on the road can be hectic.   For the serious roadster a cargo box is the perfect promotional item to help you stay organized and sane.  Files, food, gadgets and more are all contained and can easily be moved into the office or your house at the end of the day.  Julia has had one of these in Gladys’  trunk for years.

Give Yourself an Extra Hand
If the cargo box is a little too hardcore for you, the dashboard sticky pad is a good homebase on your dashboard for things like cell phones, sunglasses, and loose change.  It’s not as sexy as the SIGG mug, but it’ll have your back around tight turns and fast stops.  Brigitta gives this piece of promo a beautifully decorated thumbs up.

Journal
Sometimes you need to go old school.  Ahren voted in the Dovana journal because he loves the look and feel.  We hope that we’ll age as gracefully as the cover on this baby.

Keep it Together
I’m an admitted bag-a-holic and there are few I love more than a nice messenger.  My Timbuk2 has been with me in several countries, on various modes of transport and in all kinds of weather.   Perfect for when you have to stash your stuff and go.
Presenting Next-Gen Style
Tablets are becoming the go-to way of presenting on the road and this ipad case transforms from a mere cover into a presentation stand in a few flips.   The entire team voted this piece into the running.

Keep Covered
Our final item was another team favorite.  Umbrellas aren’t something you think about, until you need one and don’t have it.

We love promo and advocate for our favorite products every day.
Except this guy, he only likes t-shirts.
