I can hear my mother’s voice as though it were yesterday as she rounded up all six of us kids for a day of spring-cleaning. Oh, the dreaded task of thoroughly cleaning every nook and cranny of our home to create an environment that would run efficiently and effectively came all too quickly every year.

Many relate spring-cleaning and organizing to our homes, but is equally important for our businesses as well. Cleaning and clearing away unused items will help to minimize chaos and streamline daily tasks.

Disorganization breeds frustration, which ultimately slows productivity, compromises client confidentiality, and weakens company morale. Thus, it goes without saying that a well-organized office will create an all-around more positive workplace and boost your professional image as well.

Taking those first steps to implementing organization can be a bit overwhelming, so start by spring-cleaning just one area at a time. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider:

Reception Area

Create a tidy, yet warm and welcoming reception area with Literature Organizers, Brochure Holders, and Book Shelves.

Administrative Office Areas

Filing Cabinets with Locks are fundamental for any office organization. It’s the ideal place for categorizing client files and corporate records, and secures confidential records as needed. Add a Personal Tower to accommodate staff members’ coats and jackets, or for housing quick-change items for your sales team.

Break Room

Trash Receptacles, Recycling Bins, and Coffee Stations will help to keep your break room clean and well-organized.

 Mailroom

Sorting Tables are essential work surfaces when managing a high volume of mail, and Individual Mail Slots make it easy to sort mail for individual staff members. Mail Carts are a handy tool for distributing packages and large envelopes to staff members in-house.

Warehouse/Industrial Area

A lot of hustle and bustle happens in these areas, and top-notch organization is key. Installing Heavy Duty Industrial Steel Shelving and Pocket Panel Bins are just a couple of great solutions for creating an orderly and efficient environment in your warehouse.

After all, spring is a time of renewal, and what better way to rejuvenate your work place than with spring-cleaning and organizing. Once everything is in its place you will maximize your production, which in turn will boost your sales. Now, go ahead … open up the windows and set those dust bunnies free!

As a distributor of promotional products I am often asked, “What is that one magic product that really works?” The answer is simple: the magic is not in the product alone; it is in the marketing behind the product as well.

Today’s e-commerce provides businesses with the convenience of purchasing promotional products online, but fails to teach the buyer how to effectively use the products to gain the edge over their competition and yield a profitable return on their investment. As a result, many businesses simply purchase products without giving thought to building a marketing message around the products.

Developing a promotional marketing campaign is not unlike anything else we do in business; it simply takes a little time to craft a campaign that will create a buzz around your brand and deliver profitable results.

Let’s begin with a few simple steps:

Define Your Message
What key factor(s) do you want your audience to know about your business? What sets you apart from your competitors? The answers to these questions should be the solutions your prospects are seeking.

Write Your Caption
In just a few words, succinctly summarize your message. You have just 3-6 seconds to capture the attention of your audience, so get creative and keep your words short and snappy.

Choose Your Product
After identifying your message and caption, the overwhelming process of choosing the right promotional products will now be much easier. Select products that support your message, fit your budget, and resonate with your audience.

Now wave that magic wand, and Presto!
You’re off to a great start for an effective promotional marketing campaign.

Keep in mind, this is just the beginning, and there are many other factors to consider when creating your promotional marketing campaign. As qualified distributors, we will help you identify all critical areas of your marketing goals so that your campaign will not only work like magic, but will yield a greater return on your promotional marketing investment.

There’s a great deal of truth in the adage, “You never get a second chance to make a great first impression”.  What better way to ensure a great first impression than by outfitting your staff in corporate clothing branded with your company’s logo.

The benefits of corporate clothing are many, but let’s take a look at just a few:

Brand recognition is key to the success of any business, whether yours is a national brand or local brand. We all notice what others are wearing, so having your eye-catching logo on corporate clothing will not go unnoticed.

Promotes Team Spirit Amongst Staff
Corporate clothing promotes camaraderie, unity, and a great feeling of team spirit and company pride. When staff members feel they are working together as part of a team, you will likely discover increased productivity and higher standards of performance.

Increase Customers’ Confidence
Featuring your logo on corporate clothing helps to establish credibility in the eyes of those who see it, and increases the confidence your customers find in the products and/or services you provide.

Today’s corporate clothing goes beyond the basic polo offering a wide variety of trendy styles for an ideal professional image. Manufacturers are gaining inspiration from current retail trends and designing corporate clothing with a fashion-forward edge. Thus, there is much to consider with new fabric technology available, top name brands, and great attention to style and detail.

And for all of your professional ladies, there is no need to worry because gone are the days of women having to wear a men’s inspired polo.
