<p>It seems everywhere you look, people are trimming the fat.  Companies are holding back from spending the &#8220;big bucks&#8221; in advertising, but does advertising become less important in a struggling economy?  I&#8217;m sure no one would think so.  Completely the opposite is true!  So how do you get [...]]]></description>

<p>It seems everywhere you look, people are trimming the fat.  Companies are holding back from spending the &#8220;big bucks&#8221; in advertising, but does advertising become less important in a struggling economy?  I&#8217;m sure no one would think so.  Completely the opposite is true!  So how do you get your name in front of the right eyes?  Below are a few inexpensive promotional products that won&#8217;t get tossed aside.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-108" title="QPic-1" src="http://www.generalmotivationblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/QPic-1-150x150.jpg" alt="QPic-1" width="150" height="150" />Jar Opener</strong>: We&#8217;ve all been happy to stumble upon one of these when struggling with a jar of pickles, and perhaps you have one.  Chances are the one in your kitchen right now has a company&#8217;s name and phone number on it!  I know mine does. Unlike a business card, this gadget gets used and looked at on a regular basis.  Most styles are well under $1 a piece, in a variety of colors and styles.  Where else will you get advertising that cheap?</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-106" title="KC35_N_GN" src="http://www.generalmotivationblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/KC35_N_GN-150x150.jpg" alt="KC35_N_GN" width="150" height="150" />Flashlight Key Chain</strong>:  Lighting the way, here&#8217;s another useful and inexpensive product.  This little promo will stay with the recipient and will be in use &#8211; and appreciated &#8211; daily.  This particular model comes in a variety of colors, and includes your silkscreened logo and a battery.  (Are you using a key chain with someone&#8217;s logo on it?  Quick!  Who is it?  I bet you remember&#8230;)</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-107" title="VR3000" src="http://www.generalmotivationblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/VR3000-150x150.jpg" alt="VR3000" width="150" height="150" />Bag Clips</strong>:  I love these things.  They&#8217;re like gold around  my house because they&#8217;re more reusable and better working than a twistie.  They&#8217;re always in use and we always want more of them!  With your company&#8217;s logo and contact information imprinted on the front, you&#8217;ve got a practical and welcome reminder in the hands of your recipients!</p>
<p>In this tough economy, advertising may be more important than ever.  Remember, your competition is tightening their advertising budget too, which makes it an opportune time to give your brand an edge over the others.  And when you&#8217;re relying on useful promotional products, you&#8217;re definitely offering someone a bit of advertising they&#8217;ll thank you for &#8211; especially next time they&#8217;re struggling with a stubborn olive jar lid.</p>
<p><strong><em>Like the Promotional Products you see here?  We can get them to you in a jiffy, so give us a call.  We&#8217;d be happy to help.  1-888/664-6449.</em></strong></p>
