A Bit of Spring - But Only For Us

Today was simply gorgeous. The mid-day temperature was in the low fifties. The sun was shining warmly on my face and arms, and I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

Granted, it is January 22nd, and Spring is still at least a month, probably two away, but the beautiful weather makes me very excited for the reasons I love Southern Oregon. The climate here is so beautiful, and the year round green is like very few other places on earth.

I pity the Mid-westerners and Northeasters enduring this frigid single digit night. Brrrrrrr!

However, Spring brings with it lots of rain, and it is time to consider custom umbrellas to promote your business or organization this year. When choosing a promotional item, especially something with so many options like an umbrella, it is best to consider your purchase at least one month (and better if it is two) in order to get everything just right.

American Promotions has plenty of suppliers who can deliver on much shorter lead times, and I personally am aware of umbrella products which can be imprinted and shipped in as few as three business days. Yet, you will always save money, and have more options with preparation.

You can find a great selection of promotional umbrellas here. I'm particularly into this new eco umbrella made of recycled materials and bamboo.

Unique products from the Las Vegas ASI Show

Tim Andrews, the CEO of ASI put together a little two part video of unique an new products at the Las Vegas ASI Holiday and Incentive Expo. Here are the links:

First 7 featured products

The full color denim stainless steel bottle, the bamboo plate, and the 2 gallon full color cooler are all real standouts. The watering device for your Christmas tree is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen. It is one of those inventions that makes you realize that the recession has not gone long enough as we are still creating all kinds of things that people simply don't need.

Here is the 2nd video with 8 more products. I liked the light up ice cubes, the light up cup, and the full color digitally printed umbrella.

One of my coworkers, Brock, is fresh out of school. He likes photography and design and does some for American Promotions. He just did a new Spring/rainy day theme for our main web page. I like his work, and his skills and technique are improving. The new image is on our main web page at http://www.ameripromo.com/index.php?

This was an alternate shot:
