Reusable Coffee Sleeve

Image

Challenge:  An independent coffee shop & bakery wants to drive traffic to their website in order to build brand loyalty and business. 

Solution:  The shop partners with a local distributor to find a reusable gift.  The Reusable Coffee Sleeve is selected.  This reusable sleeve has two imprint locations.  Side 1 for the shop logo.  Side 2 for a coupon.  The website highlights a special price on pastries when the coffee sleeve is presented at the store.

Result:  Registered users of the website grew as well as in store purchases of pastries.

 

 

Nightlight

Challenge:  A newly purchased senior homecare franchisee needs to generate referral business through current clients.

Solution:  The franchisee worked with a local distributor to select an item that has high visibility.  The CFL Shaped Nightlight was chosen.  This LED/UL Listed new nightlight provided safe nighttime light for the clients with a new and refreshing look.

Result:  Increased client referrals and added business.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Posted by shopakos in Uncategorized.

Throughout April, NSC and FocusDriven will urge Americans to consider the lives of others on the road and stop using cell phones while driving. NSC estimates 28 percent of all crashes – or 1.6 million crashes – each year are caused by drivers using their handheld or hands-free cell phones and texting while driving. This is much greater than the number of crashes caused by any other distraction.

Both nonprofit organizations encourage drivers to commit to not using their cell phones while driving during the month of April and beyond. They suggest drivers silence, turn off or put their phones away in trunks or glove compartments, reducing the temptation to answer a ringing phone, text message or e-mail. Drivers also are asked to change their voicemail greeting to alert callers they may be driving.

We have items that will remind you to not use your phone and no texting while driving.

You Always Need Lip Balm

Posted by shopakos in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , .

The lips frame one of the gentlest parts of your body. Owing to this, they undergo a tough time during the winters and dry seasons. Lack of moisture causes dry and chapped lips which eventually lead to lesions and bleeding. Terrible looking lips pave the way to embarrassment in public! So there are lip balms which help in keeping your lips moisturized and thus, rendering you with smoother and softer lips. Contrary to popular belief, you need lip balms in the summers too!

We can help with your chapstick.  Apparently there is a really big need for more lip balm if people keep losing what they have.  Make sure the lip balm your customers are using has your logo all over it.  Instruct them to call you when they lose their tube and that will be one more touch you get with your clients.  Turn their negative into your positive.

Advantages of Lip Balm

Lip balms reduce the development of cold sores and thus making your lips look pink and kissable!

  • Sunscreen agents
  • Lip balms reduce the development of cold sores and thus making your lips look pink and kissable!
  • Help hazardous rays from sun not affecting the beauty and natural health of the lips
  • Helps cure lip cracks and retains the moisture levels
  • Most lip balms contain alcohol substance which helps protect lips against bacterial attack
  • Sun block lip balms are proved to prevent ultraviolet rays from hurting the lips
  • Help to protect the natural health and beauty of the lips
  • Will give an extra layer of glow to the lips.  Lip balms are used to make the lips soft just like how body lotion is used to make your skin smooth and silky. It acts as a shield in protecting your lips from getting dry and chapped
  • Cost effective products when both the health and aesthetic aspects are concerned and are among the most used products in tthe cosmetic line

They have become inevitable accessories in the hand bag of every woman, and some recent additions offer lip balms specially designed for men too. They are not gender specific products and both men and women can use them. But the same products may not be equally effective for men and women as the skin types differ

A balm can be applied with a finger or with the tube itself. This is done mainly to soothe the bruised lips and cease it from bleeding. A regular application of lip balm is really the best solution for maintaining the sensuousness of lips.

Disadvantages

Disadvantages are few when the lip balms are considered. Many of such disadvantages arise from negligence in use and manufacturing of the lip balms. Lip balms made of low quality ingredients can harm the lips seriously.

 Our SPF 15 lip balm is USA made and FDA approved. All our chap balm contains Vitamin E and Aloe vera, UVA and UVB protectors and as always are PABA free. We print in full color process on white, clear or metallic decals for your retail look. Our chap balm is an excellent give away for tradeshows, hotels, spas, salons and any outdoor event.

Just returning from our annual trade show in Las Vegas, we did see a few ideas that we liked. After a while, you begin to feel like you have seen it all but every year there is something new and different.

Love this little man highlighter.  His hair is a brush to clean your keyboard and then his legs and arms are highlighters.

I think the caps below are very different and something everyone would enjoy wearing. These caps just make you feel good.

Caps with embroidered designs on the side.  Choose from Adirondack Chairs, Palm Trees, Lighthouse Coast, Snowboarder or Windsurfer then add your logo to the front or back strap.
