If you’re planning to have a New Year’s Eve party with employees, clients or both, why not kick things up a notch?

(Note: if you have procrastinated on ordering 2012 calendars, tick tock!)

Back to the party.

Sure, you could go to the big box store down the street and get the same noisemakers as everyone else, or you could customize your celebration with custom noisemakers imprinted with your logo.

Have you thought about ordering snazzy eyeglasses? You could also get some colorful New Year’s Eve hats (with your logo) guaranteed to get even the most stodgy cliche office curmudgeon on the dance floor.

If you want a more refined way of showing off your company logo, how about champagne flutes customized with your brand?

Still looking for more ideas? Let the experts at imPress Printing help with your New Year’s Eve bash.

Business cards, menus, invitations — anything printed on paper — can be printed on specialty paper that can literally be planted and will grow gorgeous flowers or herbs.

The seeds are embedded in a biodegradable paper that composts away in the soil.

It’s one of those things that helps you stand out and keeps your business fresh in the minds of your clients.

Are you interested in seed paper? Let the experts at imPress Printing help.

The experiment

You may be asking yourself if these seeds really work (and would they still work for someone without a green thumb).

Great question. We want to know the same thing.

So starting today, we’re planting some seed paper samples to see if all the excitement is worth it.

Check back periodically as we’ll have post updates once the plants sprout.

But saying you want a “calendar” to a printing company is like walking into a car lot and saying you want a new car. The possibilities are endless!

How big do you want it?

Do you want a huge desk calendar, a medium-size wall calendar or a smaller promo calendar or a small magnet?

Calendars are a great way to help your clients keep you at the top of their mind and make your contact information easily found.

Here’s a magnetic calendar that holds your business card at top.

This calendar has a cardboard stand so clients can keep it on their desk.

If you’re looking to get extra creative, you can order a calendar with your own photos and customize what your customers hang on their wall.

If you want a large desk or wall calendar, you can customize a nice header so no matter the month, you’re right there.

Looking for something specific? Our imPress Printing experts have endless options to make an awesome calendar to keep your customers talking.

For Thanksgiving, if you’ve not thought about sending out cards, it’s a wonderful way to stand out in your clients’ mind.

If you really want to imPress (pun intended), how about sending your favorite clients a Stainless Steel Carving Set?

Talk about starting a dinner conversation with your name and logo printed right on the knife case for everyone to see.

If you want to be a little more generic, you could also go for some fall-themed hot-beverage mugs.

For Hanukkah, how about a season’s greeting card?

If you want to stay top-of-mind with your clients throughout the year, how about a Jewish Heritage Executive Calendar as your Hanukkah gift to them?

Have your employees show their true company pride by hanging an ornament (featuring your logo) on their tree. Perhaps you have an office Christmas tree you’re looking to decorate, wouldn’t your company ornaments make a nice addition?

Depending on how much you’re looking to spend, you can give your clients some wonderful gift boxes full of yummy holiday treats.

And of course, there’s still plenty of time if you’d like holiday and/or Christmas cards. Many of them are customizable.

Are you looking to stand out? Let the promo product experts at imPress Printing help you make the best of your marketing dollars.

One reason retailers love Halloween is because they get two rushes of purchases. The first is from people wanting to stock up ahead of time. The second is from last-minute shoppers, but also from those same first-round customers who ate through their rations weeks back.

But the holiday is not just for grocery stores and costume shops.

Halloween brings with it unlimited opportunities for you to get the word out about your products or services by using promotional treats.

How about advertising on Halloween candy bags and pails?

You could put your logo on flashlights or safety armbands for kids and adults.

Are you a school or dentist’s office? How about putting your logo on a packet of customized safety information for kids?

Not for kids

Even if you’re not interested in the above ideas, how about a classy candy bar? You’ve probably seen them given out as wedding favors.

Why not put your logo on a Halloween candy bar for your clients?

Need help getting ready for Halloween? Let the experts at imPress Printing lend a hand.

We’re back from a great July 4th weekend, and we have a feeling that people are going to take advantage of these long-awaited good weather months like no one’s business. We bet that an unusually high number of barbeques, pool parties, golf outings, and trips to assorted bodies of water are on the way for everybody.

This means it’s an awesome time to give your clients a couple of neat freebies that will assist with their unprecedented levels of outdoor excitement. Here are a few suggestions for promotional products that will get your name out there as your clients play in the sun.

• An insulated cooler tote bag will help your clients keep their refreshments fresh when they’re out partying it up.
• No one likes to let hungry critters ruin the fun, so your client can whip out this handy little bottle of branded insect repellant whenever the bugs start biting.
• Need a bigger ticket promotional product for a big client? We’ll be willing to bet that your client has never received a fold-up picnic table before. Bring some big fun to that big client with a really big promotional item.
• Kids love writing where they’re not supposed to, so maybe that’s why sidewalk chalk is such a big hit in the nice weather months. Your clients with kids will enjoy a few minutes of relaxation while their kids are occupied with outdoor art.
• Everyone gets a kick out of water guns. Well, except perhaps the unsuspecting dude who is being squirted.

So give your clients a reason to think of your company while they’re soaking up the summer sun, and let imPress Printing help you pick the best promotional products.

Chin up, pal. Even if your divots go farther than your drives, golf can be a really good time. It’s the perfect combination of competition, refinement, sunshine, and some cold ones. And now that the weather’s right to play 18 holes, the business community can move some of their meetings out of Conference Room B and onto the fairway.

Whether you and your colleagues are masters of the sport or just use golf as an excuse to play hooky from work, a golf bag full of equipment is essential to make it happen. And if you can’t make a name for yourself with your golf technique, at least you can get your company’s name out there with your golf gear.

Our Golf Equipment is a Hole in One

That’s right, the crew at imPress can supply you with the works when it comes to branded golf equipment. Whether you’re looking for a divot tool or a polo shirt, we can get you everything you need to advertise your company while you grab the sticks and hit the links.

And after you’ve outfitted yourself, why not hook your clients up? We’re sure your clients will appreciate the free gifts. Plus, whenever they use golf as a way to network with their contacts, their contacts will get a look at your name too.

Branded golf equipment – a super way to advertise your business and drive sales. (We just couldn’t resist.)

And that includes promotional products.

Give Your Business – And the Environment – A Boost

When it’s time to advertise your business, you can easily get your name out there without getting on Mother Earth’s list. Here’s a tiny sampling of the eco-friendly promotional products imPress can get for you.

• A Groovy Grocery Bag to help your clients cut down on plastic bag waste, carry their goodies in style, and occasionally save a little money on their purchases when they hit up stores like Target. Oh, and they get to do all this while viewing your company name themselves and showing it off to everyone else in the supermarket.

• A Cool Cup that will provide your clients with a mess-free way to transport their favorite drinks when they’re on the go. And as they savor those beverages sip by sip, your logo will be keeping them company.

• An Exciting Ecobutton that will help your clients’ computers save energy. Great gifts for people who have everything, these devices plug into a computer’s USB port and help it to use even less energy when it’s in sleep mode than it normally would. And oh yeah, since these babies are designed to be attached to a computer, they’re very likely to sit on your targets’ desks and within their fields of vision pretty much all the time.

• A Peachy Paper Pad made from 100% recycled paper and Mother Earth-approved soy based inks. Your client can jot down everything from phone messages at work to shopping lists at home knowing that no trees were harmed in the making of his post-it pad.

And that’s nothing. We offer hundreds of promotional items that show the earth the love that it deserves.

Yes, Kermit. Welcome to 2011, where being green is just as easy as shopping for promotional products with your chums at imPress.

Yes, your clients. You love your clients, right? You don’t know where you’d be without them. They’ve changed your life. You need them. So they deserve something, too.

Sharing The Love

The truth is, Valentine’s Day (or any holiday) can be a super excuse to send a shout out to your clients with corporate gifts and promotional products. We’re not necessarily talking about a diamond necklace, here, but just a little something nice to let them know that the folks at your company are thinking of them. And, better yet, to lead them to think of your company.

Maybe you could get them some M&M’s customized with your company’s name. Maybe some branded heart-shaped sticky notes. Or a handy magnetic clip in the shape of a heart decorated with your company’s logo. Or for big time, huge account clients, why not spring for a huge gift basket overflowing with scrumptious Valentine’s Day treats?

We have heard a lot of people complaining lately about this dreary, snowy winter.  But a Valentine’s Day pick-me-up might be just what your client needs today to face another New York winter weather day.  So be the superstar who brightens someone’s frigid February with some promotional products from the heart.

If not, maybe it’s time to check in and say hi. After all, the holiday season is fast approaching, and reminding your customers that you’re thinking of them around the holidays is the friendly thing to do. (And hey, if it also results in a ton of business for you, so be it.)

Of course, with all that’s going on at this time of year, your “hello” is going to have to be pretty memorable to stick out in your clients’ minds. Luckily, your pals at imPress have got your back.

All The Promo Items You’ll Ever Need

Since we’re admittedly print-obsessed, we’ll never hate on postcards, fliers, or other amazing printed masterpieces, but sometimes promotional items are the way to go if you really want to get your clients’ attention. And if being remembered is important to you, then you probably want to go with a promotional item that’s a little more on the unique side.

Now, when it comes to promotional items, there isn’t much of anything we can’t get for you. If you have an idea, we can work with you to make it happen. But just to give you a glimpse into the wide wacky array of goodies that we have to work with, here are a few examples of promotional items that would definitely help you stand out.

• Say hello with an orange poncho. Give your clients the gift of a dry outfit during an unexpected downpour. They’ll have to love you forever if you save their dry-clean only suits from the elements.
• Remind them of the special chemistry between you with a chemical flask squeeze toy! For that client who has everything.
• Give them your best with an apron! Just look how much this happy guy likes his!
• Tell them how much they mean to you with a customized Rubik’s cube. Who doesn’t appreciate a new way to procrastinate?
• Thank your special client with a silicone basting brush. It’s the best way we can think of to make your clients think of you at home…maybe even on Thanksgiving!

We could go on for weeks, but it’s probably sufficient to say that if we can get you squeeze toys shaped like tacos, ATM machines, and human intestines, we can get almost anything.

And in addition to our amazing selection, we also have great taste. If you’re not sure how left-field to go or what message your daring idea would send, we’d be happy to help fine-tune your ideas to make them perfect.

Let us help you find a new, fun, memorable way to brighten your clients’ days this season.
