Benefits of Casual Fridays

1. Free perk– It doesn’t cost anything to allow employees to dress down in business casual attire one day each week, yet being able to do so is a perk that many employees enjoy and look forward to each week.
2. Fun change of pace – Allowing employees to dress more casually can be a good way to infuse a sense of fun into the workday without doing anything to detract from productivity.
3. Team building – When people are dressed more casually, with workers across all levels wearing similar attire, they may be more likely to interact with people they wouldn’t ordinarily feel comfortable approaching. This can lead to cultivating positive work relationships that will strengthen the overall team.
4. Meet employee needs – Employees like to work for companies where they feel like more than ‘just a number.’ Allowing employees to come to work dressed as they like – within reason – on a designated day is a way of meeting employees’ needs to ‘be themselves.’
5. Easy employee motivator – Allowing employees to ‘be themselves’ in terms of how they dress can actually be a motivator. According toInsideBusiness 360, “giving employees a day to express their individuality in their dress is a great motivator.”
6. Reinforce branding – If your company’s approach to casual Friday involves wearing branded apparel, such as company logo shirts, it can result in branding benefits. Employees become walking billboards for your company when they are seen wearing apparel with your branding message.

If you want to let your employees have a “dress down” day or if you decide you want to let your company dress business casual in the summer time, but are concerned about what they think that means you can:

1. Create a company store that has all branded material for your company
   1. Identify items that will support your policy and promote your brand
   2. Employees can choose items that they can get (perhaps you provide an allowance) to wear on these designated days.
   3. This keeps the brand intact, HR happy and your employees happy as well

Companies like Cutter and Buck make some very nice corporate apparel that can be embroidered with your logo to build your brand.

This is just an another idea to help you to “Increase sales and profits through promotions”

Traditional Ad Channels Rated As Most Trusted Media

Traditional Ad Channels Rated As Most Trusted Media



In a survey of 2,400 U.S. consumers, marketing researchers MarketingSherpa found that Americans find traditional advertising channels to be the most trustworthy when making a purchasing decision.



In light of "fake news" Americans are having a hard time discerning what is real what is not, what to believe and ignore.



This is something to consider when you are your team put together marketing campaigns.

Direct Mail-and creative promotions

#Directmail is not dead, especially if it is fun direct mail where somebody has the chance to win an awesome prize like a trip to the Daytona 500!! VROOM VROOM.

In these direct mail tickets a coded message is printed on the ticket, that must be brought to the retail place of business to be decoded to see if they are the grand prize winner. Everyone wins one of these awesome prizes even if they are not the grand prize winner.

In addition our client is offering their clients 10% off on a line of products through the promotion period.

We designed the piece, printing the mailer, mailing it producing the prizes, write the rules etc...

If the lucky person who has that winning ticket comes forward and claims that grand prize, my client is ONLY paying the insurance premium against prize redemption.

In a way we want that person to show up, as it is a win for the client and a win for the ticket holder, talk about inexpensive PR!

Be creative with #directmail and #promotions have fun!

If you have any questions about how this could work for you, just call us at

Child promotional products- what is a child's product anyway?

Does your company do promotions that involve items that be construed as a children's toy? You say not us, right. Well stop right there.

There are common items that on the surface that don't look like a child's toy but according to Consumer Product Safety Commission they are, and are subject (AND THAT MEANS YOU) to very strict guidelines with respect to manufacturing.

Let us give you an example:

You are a manufacturer of tires. You are running a trade show booth and have a mascot that is round and looks like white tires. You wanted to do a giveaway of a plush or stuffed replica of this mascot to your visitors, who are adults after all this is an automotive trade show right.

WRONG!!!!

This is considered a child's toy and is subject to the guidelines set for by CPSC for children's toys. If you are having these made, for you is your DISTRIBUTOR aware that it is a children's toy? Probably not, are they aware if the manufacturer is compliant, especially if this comes in from overseas. Could you imagine if that thing came in with lead in the inks or loose parts that can choke. Is it worth the risk? Of course not, and that is why if you use a #promotionalproducts distributor who is knowledgeable they will have done the research for you.

Point number two:

Silk screen and embroidered garments. Do you give away to children youth sized garments with your companies logo? Excellent. Are you aware of the REQUIREMENTS to be compliant for this in case of a recall on the garment or the ink? Oh yes, all children's garments must be easily traced back to their original source or you can be in for it.

Again:

IS YOUR DISTRIBUTOR IN THE KNOW?

Many of my competitors will ignore this and I will tell you WHY:

1. It adds costs to them and to you and they are afraid you won't purchase from them because of it.

Does this make sense to you? Would you not prefer to pay .75 a garment more and know you are in the right side of child safety? Would you not pay .75 more to know you are working with a distributor who has your back?

2. It takes time for them to do the legwork register the codes and keep on top of the laws.

To this I say that is why our clients love us because they don't have time to do this. We are supposed to be the experts not YOU. YOU are the experts in your field not ours. 

https://www.cpsc.gov/business--manufacturing/business-education/tracking-label/faq-tracking-labels-on-childrens-products/

Here is a link to FAQ child safety labeling, this is just one reference and we have others.

So if you want to know if your distributors product suggestion is subject to this requirement just ask us at  1877 614 7746 shoot us an email and we can help at proprintersonline@gmail.com

We want you to be safe from liability, we want your customers especially children to be safe from products that may not be safe.

Safe kids are happy kids!
