Memorial Day is this Monday, and that means one thing: Picnic season has begun! No doubt you’ve got some hand in planning the company picnic, and like most company picnics, there will be prizes. A fun part of the event for everyone, but of course that means picking items that will grab everyone’s attention. Here are a few suggestions that are not only great as company picnic door prize ideas, but also for your service awards programs.

The Director’s Chair:  Put your employee in the director’s seat with this folding chair. It includes a built-in folding side table for drinks etc., and side storage pockets for incidentals such as sunblock, sunglasses, and snacks. Lightweight aluminum with reinforced seat.

Chill and Grill Outdoor Kit – This is a great one for the family on the go. Vacationers will enjoy the opportunity to stop at roadside parks and cook up a picnic as they travel. This portable grill comes in a container that also includes a 15-can capacity insulated cooler.  It also comes with grill tongs and a shoulder strap.

Pop-Up Leaf Sunshade – Brilliant and unique, the leaf sunshade (pictured below) folds up easily and comes with a carrying bag with shoulder strap. For anyone who’s ever had a difficult time finding their umbrella after a swim at the beach, this one will stand out from the crowd. Surprisingly affordable, and great for the service award as well.

To keep that company picnic hopping, offer fun and practical door prizes such as these.  (Contact us for info on these and other ideas.) Adding your company name and logo to the prizes will help send your guests home with some fantastic memories of good food, great times, and an enjoyable company to work for. Happy picnicking!

This Polka Dot Tote Adds a Touch of Spring to Your Brand

Sure, it’s still cold out.  You’re wearing bulky sweaters to the office, and yesterday it took you 15 minutes to scrape the ice off your windshield after work.  But regardless of its blustery appearance, winter will come to an end, bringing with it the beauty and warmer temperatures of spring.  That means time to start thinking of new and imaginative ways to promote your business – and celebrate the vernal equinox!

Tote bags make seriously good and usable handout items.  Not only will customers, clients, and employees enjoy using them again and again, but the totes become walking billboards for your brand! Springy polka dots make this tote a real eye-catcher.

The Chameleon Umbrella Offers the Perfect Backdrop to Your Logo

Stormy weather in springtime is much more pleasant than a winter whiteout!  Still, a little rain gear is always appreciated.  Umbrellas with the company logo are yet another perfectly useful item that gets your brand out on the street in front of countless potential customers.

The Highlander Comes with All the Necessities

Picnics are the perfect way to celebrate warmer weather.  So when someone receives gifts such as this picnic basket with your logo, they’ll be sure to use it season after season, and they’ll always remember where they got it.

By preparing now to promote your company this spring, you’ll have plenty of time to set up some new and different approaches to assure 2010 is a fantastic year.  You’ll be ready to give your business name some creative and stylish exposure; because there’s no better time for fresh ideas than spring.
