A swag bag is an assortment of promotional items, usually which share a unifying theme and come packaged in a literal bag or box. Swag bags go fast at events. Swag is an acronym for “Stuff We All Get.” · Swag refers to promotional items that companies hand out to attendees as a form of advertising …

Swag (within the context of promotional merchandise) can refer to both:
Promotional merchandise for a band, record label, or other entity in the music business, usually distributed at concerts. May include t-shirts, stickers, promo CDs, posters, etc. Often free, but not necessarily; a t-shirt or record purchased at a concert might still be considered swag, especially if it is a design or release that is not readily available in the mass market. The chief difference between swag and regular merchandise is that its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the band/label, and reward its supporters by giving them something cool and unique. According to Urban Dictionary:

Customers get something free and businesses get more visibility for their brand.

So what is the purpose of giveaways? Giveaways can be used as a marketing expense and at the same time help increase profits and make a lasting impressions. For example, if you hand out something for free, up to 75% of those who received a prize will remember your brand up to 12 months later! That’s a great way to make a lasting impression with a simple fun idea.

Since most people think they won the lottery when given a giveaway. It makes a smart company that realizes that using the strategy of fun promotional giveaways is smart for business.

For example we carry fly swatters. Now how are fly swatters fun you may ask? Today these come in all shapes and sizes and both with the summer months coming who doesn’t need to swat a fly here and there. The good thing is that your brand is getting swatting around where this giveaways was worth every penny. The flyswatter is one example. As you view our fun giveaways think of how you can benefit from handing out fun promotional giveaways.

Take for example these bendeez stress toy stick. We all have a tendency to want to fiddle with something as many of us like to keep out hands busy. You can twists them, hand them from your cubicle, bend them into fun shapes. This is one of those fun giveaways you can not put down. So at the end of day this fun item can help you gain referrals, building your brand, and networking. I am just giving you an example there are many fun items that you can put your logo or message on. Most of us when we think of giveaways, we think of mugs, bags, totes, and pens. By handing out fun giveaways you are putting the focus on fun.

There is no need to limit the amount of colors in your imprint. Four Color Process imprinting is a method in which images are reproduced using 4 colors of ink. The four colors are cmyk, which are cyan, magenta, yellow and black. K stands for the key plate or keyline color which is usually black. The colors are printed in layers and in a series of dots. When the colors are combined a full color image is created. Full color items are alternatively digitally printed as well. Digital printing eliminates the need for printing plates.

4–Color Process is the most commonly used method for printing full-color images. … These four colors are Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black…which are known collectively as CMYK

4–Color Process Printing is a system where a color image is separated into 4 different color values (called a color separation) by the use of filters and screens. This used to be done with photographic film on a graphic arts camera, but is usually done digitally with software now. The result is a color separation of 4 images that when transferred to printing plates and sequentially printed on a printing press with the colored inks cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow and black (the k in cmyk), reproduces the original color image. Most of the entire spectrum or gamut of colors are reproduced with just the four process ink colors. The four color printing process is universally used in the graphic arts and commercial printing industry for the reproduction of color images and text.

The yo you craze is back

It was one of the oldest toys in history.  It is a toy that has been dated back as far as 440 BC.,  that has been found in Greece, China and the Philippines. Yo yos did not really become known and popular until the 1920’s when a young U.S. immigrant named Pedro Flores ignited an international craze. A young U.S. immigrant named Pedro Flores ignited an international craze. He was born in the Philippines. Pedro would have demonstrations to show everyone how the toys worked. Then Donald Duncan came along and purchased not only the company but the trademark name yo-yo.

Rumor has it was used as a weapon for hunting game or other land animals. … The yo-yos was actually first made by the Duncan yo-yo demonstrators in the 1930s and the yo-yo today is now considered a weapon due to the Duncan brothers making up the rumor of it being a weapon, this was done as a marketing strategy. Not all yo yos have the ball bearing mechanism that Duncan has but are fun to play with.

I remember my first yo-yo which was  Yo yo. I would play with it for hours. I started learning all kinds of tricks just by flicking my wrist and I could get the yo you to go faster or slower depending upon of energy I would use.

The Intentional Space Station test toys in space and one of the toys is the yo yo. Until the 1960’s yo yos were made of wood. We offer wood yo yos as well as plastic yo yos. Many of our yo yos are custom made to order.

Actually there are benefits of yo yos. It can boost confidence when trying to learn something new, hwlps in socialization and helps build hand-eye coordination Your customer can do tricks such as  ”Through the Tunnel, Shoot the Moon, and Rattlesnake.”  They are also good conversation pieces. So why not advertise you logo or message on an old popular toy

A rubber duck race is a type of festival where thousands of rubber ducks race on a river, usually within the city. Normally they are fundraising events and the ducks are given numbers which enables the participants to “adopt” a rubber duck for a small amount of money.  The perfect event coming out of a pandemic is having a duck race where the proceeds can benefit your community. We have the ducks at reasonable pricing which gives you the opportunity to make some money on the event.
There are several big duck races held around the world. In these events, people buy a duck (“Adopt-a-Duck”) and put their name on it. Then all the ducks are thrown into the river, and the first duck across the line downstream is the winner. The money raised from selling the ducks goes to charities

For most people, the only place they are likely to have seen a small, yellow rubber duck is in a child’s bath. The US is credited with inventing it, but the activity now has a fan base all over the world, with races normally organised by charities and non-for-profit organisations as fundraising events. Somebody puts them all in the water together and then the first one to the finish wins. All the ducks have numbers on them.
There’s no skill, it’s just luck. But it makes a great day out for the family

When you are not duck racing we have a large variety of ducks that represent holidays, industries, weddings, nurses, doctors, etc. So adopt a duck today and support local charities. So now that duck season is upon us, get ready to have fun.
An average duck race might have 15,000 to 20,000 ducks, but “many races have 5,000 ducks. When you need ducks look no further than Garrett Specialties.

A closeout or clearance sale is a discount sale of inventory.. It may be that a product is not selling well, or that the retailer is closing it out as the product has run its course. It doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with the product but retailers are always bringing in new items. In the promotional product business it doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong or that the merchandise is damaged, the supplier just needs to make room for new items. If items are not kept fresh and moving along the item becomes shelf worn as everyone likes to see new products. However, when you are handing out a promotional item, who cares whether they are new or old. When you get a product that is advertising your brand, we all like to see our names on items.

Many shy away from closeouts simply due to their lack of understanding or even the “bad rap” that closeouts sometimes have. Our advice?  Look at the money you are saving and you are advertising your brand. Storage becomes an issue with too much stock so it makes sense to move products and put it on closeout. Many of the items are below their original cost

The massive price cuts attract a wide variety of customers, most of whom are happy to see that they are saving money. Who doesn’t like that? Many of us look for items that are on sale or wait until they are on sale. A closeout is of a product is a special opportunity to purchase a product where the retailer is aggressively pricing a products. We at Garrett Specialties offer closeout pricing where we offer to our customers exceptions deals. Make sure you order enough as once the product is gone, it is gone. We have closeouts all year long unlike many businesses that offer closeouts in the spring and in the fall. Many of our items are technology related and it is important to move them along before they become undesirable. When you hand out a giveaway, your recipients do not know what you paid for the product. They remember you gave them something and your brand is on the item for your clients.

A great use for stress balls is have it handy when you go to the doctor. Instead of fiddling with your hands, use a stress ball and squeeze it while you wait. Stress relievers are also great for doctors. I went to my oncologist and the nurse gave me a stress ball while I got my injection. It was falling apart. So I had her go to my website and select a stress ball that would help the patients. She selected a red pepper because of its shape. These are great items for doctors. Dentists can hand out a tooth stress reliever to their patients to remind them to brush their teeth while advertising their practice.
