This weeks winner in sales meeting goes to Leslie!  I must say that the competition was steep, and there will be an honorable mention before this blog is over.  I guess the new year brought us all in refreshed this morning because the  new ideas were KILLER!

However, in the way of applications, this Poly Pro Shop-n-Fold Cold Tote was my personal favorite.  The reusable grocery tote was absolutely one of the hottest items for 2009, and all of our customers were wowed by how great the reception was in giving these out.  But one of our preferred suppliers came up with a Cold Tote for those trips to the frozen food aisle...

WHAT is it? ... The Poly Pro Shop-N-Fold Cold Tote is made of non-woven polypropylene just like your favorite shopping totes.  Where we see the difference here is the Mylar insulation for cold storage.  Throw your frozen berries or your Lean Cuisines in this bag and fold it right down to keep frozen foods just as cold as they were in their case!  They are available in kelly green (shown), royal blue or black, and at a price of $2.89/each (includes a 1 color imprint), it doesn't get much better.

WHY we love it... This is a different spin on an old favorite!!! Everyone loves their totes from last year, and this is a great add-on to previous promotions.

Honorable mention goes to Mary, the queen of office supplies.  If it's a new office supply, SHE WILL FIND IT.  Drimark makes a fabulous pen/highlighter "Twist Set"  that I couldn't get away with not mentioning...

This great set inludes a 3-color ballpoint pen with 6 interchangeable highlighters in a convenient gift box.  If you've got a budget of under $4.00 for your next in-office meeting or a conference with lots of note-taking, this is a great steal at $3.84/each. 

Set up a meeting with your branding specialist and ask to see some samples!!!
