An Ode to the Emmys: Using Awards as Corporate Promo Items

In honor of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards that aired live last night, led by host Jimmy Fallon, I am going to blog about the use of awards as promo items to increase employee relations and encourage new customer generation. While Emmy winners such as Modern Family (outstanding comedy) and Mad Men (outstanding drama series are honored with a symbolic award that features a golden winged woman, there are many types of awards that companies can use to recognize top achieving employees. In addition, awards are promo items that can effectively promote any brand. For example, displaying an award at a tradeshow booth adds authenticity to your marketing material and business message while giving them to loyal clients is a great way to encourage repeat business.

Say Goodbye to Lou Piniella with these Promo Items

Retirement came early for Chicago Cubs general manager Lou Piniella. Yesterday marked the final game for Piniella, who plans to go home to Florida to help his ailing mother. Baseball fans can show their support for the GM - ranked number 14 of all times- with promo items such as custom caps and hats, pennants and flags, and promotional sports towels. Distributing promo items to sports fans is a great way to gain support for a professional athletic team or any other business. By printing a company logo on the same item as the team mascot, you will be sure to increase brand awareness and new customer generation as well.
