I talked to someone a few days ago who told me they were in the market for adopting a cat. She told me that she already had a cat and wanted a second one. She was unsure of where to get one so she went into various shelters on Long Island to see how the cats were treated and what types the shelter had on-hand. 
She learned very quickly that many of the shelters would give her promotional incentives for her business.  One of the start-up items one shelter was giving out was the custom imprinted Recycled Pet Litter Scoop. 
This item is a paw-shaped scooper that comes in a small array of eco-colors. Best of all, this item is made of eco-friendly materials and can be produced in five days. It looks great with an imprint and will keep the animal shelter's contact information within reach.

Fellow men, this is your official reminder from Motivators: Valentine's Day is exactly a week away. 

According to this article, men tend to forget important anniversaries and holidays because they are genetically wired to focus on outside threats and factors that might interfere with the comfort level at home. While it is true that we no longer forrage for food and have many preditors, these factors could include health, financial and social class security. 

So, if you've spent the last few years forgetting Valentine's Day until the last minute (or having to pick up something on the ride home from work) you may want to pay a little more attention to this post.

This post will focus on the custom imprinted 3 Cards with Raffia Bow. This is sure to wow your wife, girlfriend, mother - whoever the Valentine in your life is. These cards and envelopes are made of 100% recycled paper and include your favorite seeds. Simply handwrite something romantic (sorry, you're on your own for this) and give it to them. They can plant the letter and watch it grow to become parsley, wildflowers or even a pine tree. All three cards (perfect for a parent or child) are wrapped in a very beautiful raffia bow. 

My father is a mechanic and has been all of his life. He's been in the business since he could first start work and has continued in the same industry to this day.

My dad relies heavily on promotional products, saying that they are one of the sole reasons his name has withstood the test of time these last few decades. I know my father uses promotional pens and has a few sample promotional stressballs lying about but I think it is the custom imprinted Classic Frame - Recycled that gets his name out there.

This Classic Frame - Recycled is an item that fits securely around your standard American license plate and has imprinting options on 2 edges. My father prints his information on these license frames (address, phone number, logo, etc.) and gives them to every one of his customers. Some even ask for him to put it on their car right away. When that person drives around (even out of state) people will see his name and a car that runs in tip-top shape. 

Pick this item up. It's made of recyclable plastic and sure to promote your name.

Do you have a large family and only so much office space? Is your desk already too crowded?

The custom imprinted Lexington Photo Cube is the perfect item for your home or office. It is made of the highest quality recycled leather and can hold up to four photos at a time.

Yes. Unlike other photo albums, this item can hold four 3" x 3" photos as the same time, one on each of the sides of a cube. The bottom is a sturdy base and the top houses your professional imprint.  If you ever feel the need for change, you can simply rotate the cube or even replace the photos. It is sure to be a conversation starter and spruce up your office. The cube is available in black, brown and pink. 

If you've watched an NFL game this season on the TV (whether at home, your friend's house or at your favorite restaurant/bar) you've probably noticed a pattern. You grab a good seat somewhere in the room and crack open a cold drink. There simply isn't a better feeling.

When a game gets really exciting, I tend to forget my drink for sometime. When I return to my drink, I'll find it warm and even flat at times. 

Because the big game of the season is this Sunday, I didn't want to face the same situation I had faced time-and-time again. For that reason, I had printed up promotional Recycled Can Holders.

These beautiful items are made of polyester fabric from PETE and hold any standard soda and beer cans. The imprint area is huge (perfect for showing your support for the Patriots or the Giants) and comes in colors like red, green, blue and black. 

What do Devo, Clark Gable, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Trent Reznor and Jerry Springer have in common?

They all had their start in Ohio.

Best known as the "Buckeye State" Ohio has the 7th largest population despite being only the 34th largest state (out of 50) in the United States. Ohio has the red carnation as its official state flower and the white-tail deer is the official animal. The state also houses over 3,000 historic landmarks, including the Tyler Davidson Fountain and the Cleveland Mall. Ohio also houses the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, which houses the highest honor in the genre.

If you have a business in Ohio, love the state or simply support its arts consider the custom imprinted Flat Tire Ohio Coaster. This coaster, recycled from post-consumer tires, is 1/8" thick and will protect your table, bar or night table from the smudges and stains that can be left behind by glasses. The coaster is a great alternative to the round and square coasters found commonly and is rather industructable. The best part about the coaster is that there is an option to print a second side, perfect for glass tables. 

Do you spend a large portion of your day staring at the clock on the wall, watching the seconds and minutes tick by? If this sounds like you it may be time to get a different clock.

The custom imprinted SOL Solar Radio Controlled LED Desk Clock is a great corporate item and a surefire way to get your name and logo out there. The clock is radio-controlled with a calendar display and is powered by solar energy. Thanks to the outdoor/indoor solar panel, this item is charged using the strength of solar energy. The item can be imprinted how you wish and the item is versatile enough to be used on a daily basis. Use it for the weather, the calendar or the clock. No matter what, you'll find an ideal item. 

The new year brings about the opportunity to revamp your cubicle or office. Maybe your cubicle/office is too messy? Perhaps it's too dated.

The custom imprinted Bamboo Cell Phone/Business Card Holder is an item that is great to have at the home and the office. The item is made from high quality bamboo and includes two slots. These slots can be used for anything from mp3 players to cell phones and even business cards. Placing this great item on your desk and in a common area of your home is a sure-fire way to have your logo prominently displayed while organizing these items for you in a stylish and simplistic manner.

If there's anything one item that every desk in an office has, its a computer. Computers are very common for every line of work and almost every industry needs this type of technology.

If you have a computer, you know how important it is to have a promotional mousepad. Luckily, there is an eco-friendly alternative that is sure to spruce up your cubicle and provide guidance for your computer mouse. The custom imprinted Eco-Soft Mouse Mat - Antimicrobial Mouse Pad is a great-looking item that is made of durable post-consumer and post-industrial rubber. The imprint comes out really well on the mouse pad and comes in a small array of natural colors. 

Don't forget to explore our other promotional eco-friendly mouse pads!

Less than two weeks into the New Year, I am already noticing an influx of mail from vendors. Dozens of catalogs come in by the day, weighing more than you would believe. As I write this, I have an empty desk and a small shelf covered in the catlogs.

I'm finding my custom imprinted Corn Direct Imprint Letter Opener to be very useful. It's a very sturdy item that stands up to the professional packaging and envelopes these catalogs are often mailed in. The letter opener is made of 100% corn plastic, making it a biodegradable item and very good for the environment. The letter opener has an option to include a back magnet for pennies on the dollar and gives you many color options. 

If you find yourself swimming in mail, you should consider this custom imprinted letter opener. It's a great buy.
