It’s Time To Buy Domestic

Well, Wall Street took another nosedive. Does that mean your sales have to suffer? No! Instill confidence in your business with "Made In the USA" premiums. Here are three good reasons to buy "Made in the USA" gifts in a negative economy.

  1. American employees get to keep their jobs. Did you know 366,000 jobs were lost in 2007 due to the United States' trade with China?
  2. You reduce your carbon footprint. Carbon dioxide emissions increased from 12 percent in 1997 to 22 percent in 2004.
  3. Save on shipping costs. It costs about $8,000 to ship a 40-foot container from Shanghai to the East Coast. What could you do with $8,000 bucks?


     

    Now that you know why you should buy products manufactured at home, let's take a look at creative ways to spend those incentive dollars.


 


Thank your clients for their continued loyalty with this calendar and jumbo cashews combination. Your firebranded logo goes on the base of the calendar holder. After the food has been enjoyed, the calendar stays on their desk as a constant reminder of your quality service throughout the new year. The office is one of three locations where buying decisions are made, making it prime advertising real estate.


Put your business in the spotlight with this practical gift. Excellent for employees who have to walk to their cars in a dark or poorly lit parking garage. Show them you care about their safety. The set includes one AAA battery and a lanyard for your keys. A black gift box completes the package. Use this for safety program, gift with automotive purchase, industrial programs, etc.


Athletic directors and band boosters are always on the lookout for fundraising ideas. Try this one on for size. This car magnet is a great way for students and parents alike to show their support.


 


Don't forget about the packaging! These stickers add a festive touch to any gift décor. And it's a low-cost way to thank your customers.
