This is not your typical cheap promotional hand sanitizer. CLEANpHIRST has new technology that is far superior not only to Alcohol-Based Sanitizers but to other Alcohol-Free Sanitizers that use BZK as the kill agent. Our inert ingredients and blending processes open up the cell walls of germs and enable the BZK to go in easily and kill these cells.
CLEANpHIRST Hand Sanitizer also stays on the hands and keeps on working for up to 30 minutes after application. Alcohol based sanitizers evaporate after 5 seconds and stop working leaving your skin open for contamination right away. Not only is our product better for your skin, it has proven superior effectiveness against MRSA, Staph, Norovirus and C-Diff at 3 times the kill rate of alcohol based sanitizers and is backed up by extensive testing. This promotional item is also NSF-E3 approved for Food Service which means that you can apply the product and immediately prepare or serve food.
CLEANpHIRST Custom Labeled Promotional Hand Sanitizer will last longer, protect more effectively, give you 3 times more applications than a gel without the negative side effects associated with alcohol based products.

A custom light switch is a great idea for schools, large corporations, and energy saving companies. There are so many applications for this product. What makes it special is the longevity of the product, once installed the switch plate could be there for years.
It could be used for a district wide promotion for a reading program imprinted with “I Learned to Read at Franklin Smith Elementary School.” It could be used an energy savings program at a large facility or as a promotion, imprinted with, "Be Green To Save Green."
For individual school promotions or sports fundraisers, the product with a full color imprint is prices as low as $1.69 at 1,000, the one color glow in the dark version is as low as $1.00 at 1,000. A school could easily sell the glow in the dark model for $2 each and make a $1,000 or better yet sell them 2 for $5 and make even more.
During summer break the plates were installed in every room to remind students "Please Turn Off" when not using. A simple message for them to help conserve energy and reduce their "carbon paw print".
The university linked the idea to the product, made from 100% Biodegradable recycled plastic to conserving energy & being environmentally friendly.
With the increasing cost of energy, this is an effective way to remind students that they are paying the bill for wasted energy through their tuition.
There are two bills, one in the House and one in the Senate right now, that would require manufacturers of covered drugs, devices or medical supplies to disclose payments made to a physician, a physician medical practice or a physician group practice. The physicians are referred to as "covered recipients."
It requires disclosure of payment or other "transfer of value," which includes, subject to certain exclusions specified in the law, any compensation, gift, honorarium, speaking fee, consulting fee, travel, services, dividend, profit distribution, stock or stock option grant, or ownership or investment interest. Promotional products are included under this definition.
The reality is that if every item must be reported, many companies will choose to give nothing of value rather than report on each item. Also, it will become more likely that these laws will spread to other industries. We cannot allow that to happen.
Thank you!

As the economy continues to waver, even some of the most successful companies are taking some precautionary measures. For starters, Google has laid off a small number of workers, most recently a couple hundred sales and marketing folk. They've also cut back some of their generous cafeteria and child care offerings. The tricky part may be figuring out how to take these cost cutting measures without destroying some of the goodwill they built up. One trick may be to use cool employee gifts, which have a high perceived value, but cost a lot less over the long run than serving up food all day.
Another idea is to have events that explicitly celebrate the workforce, like this Sum of Google event. Again, having regular events to celebrate employees is probably significantly less expensive than providing other perks day in and day out. Commemorating events with t-shirts and other items can also probably extend the lifetime of the goodwill they generate. There's also the added benefit of having a more explicit message, a celebration of their employees, rather than simply a perk that turns into something they take for granted.Price includes: Custom card design, 4/1 printing on plastic cards, program management, 12-month expiration, and 10-14 day production time. One-time set-up fee may apply.
When it comes to advertising, the best ads are the ones that actually get used and seen by thousands of people. It is called FREE DISTRIBUTION.
Promotional products are not ads like you hear on the radio or TV. They are not follow up tools like postcards, or sale announcements like fliers. They are however "advertising". Depending on the nature of the promotional item, it can be very effective at keeping your business name, logo, and contact information out there for brand recognition.
Unlike many forms of traditional advertising, where you pay every time the ad is run or clicked, with promotional gifts you pay once, and every time the gift gets used, the advertising message gets repeated for FREE.
So what are the most "given" business promotional products? Well, according to Counselor Magazine, "Clothing ranks first, followed by writing instruments, business accessories for the desk and office, ceramics, glassware and calendars." No matter which promotional gift you choose, quality is more important than quantity over the long run. Usually the higher quality item will last longer, providing more return on your advertising dollars.
So what is the number one "head and shoulders" above the rest promotional idea... the most useful gift in terms of advertising? The one offering the most visibility and exposure? It's the humble t-shirt. Yes... according to Blue Sky Inc, "One t-shirt worn by one person in one average-sized city can be seen by over 100,000 people in it's lifetime!"
Now think about this, if you get 50 high quality t-shirts made for about $7 each and give them as gifts for people to wear, that's a potential 5 million people that will see your ad over the next couple of years. That seems like a better deal than spending $10k on a TV or radio campaign to 100,000 or so people. There is no doubt promotional gifts can be advertising dollars well spent.

As the holiday season approaches amid tough economic conditions, many local businesses are walking a fine line between thanking loyal clients and not breaking their budgets.
“I think the smart businesses are going to continue giving, even if they can’t financially do what they have done in the past,” said Monica Alexander, owner of Best of Kansas City, which has four retail stores. Business clients account for half of her sales.
“They will spend to let their clients know they truly are appreciated,” she said.
Few industries have been harder hit this year than construction, but Great American Building Materials again will deliver gift baskets to its customers.
“It’s been an interesting year, but we’re still here,” said John Amor, president of the company in North Kansas City. “We have been in business for 14 years, and we decided to continue giving at the same level as we have in the past.”
Great American purchases bulk food items from a wholesale club and prepares gift baskets for around 200 customers.
“We hand-deliver the baskets so we can say hello to our customers and thank them for their business,” Amor said.
Other businesses opt for the turnkey service of a company such as Best of Kansas City or Grapevine Designs in Lenexa.
“Fortunately this year, despite the current economic climate, our clients are still very interested in thanking their customers,” said Janie Gaunce, owner and president of Grapevine.
She said areas of interest this season have centered around green initiatives, health and exercise, and music and sharing.
“We have created warm, heartfelt gifts in many price ranges that convey these types of themes,” Gaunce said.
Thoughtful gifts don’t need to be expensive, said Jeff Meyer, executive sales manager for Ad Trends Advertising in Blue Springs, adding that practical items that carry a corporate logo are always popular. Read More At KansasCity.com
