June 2010 News & Specials
Having reached the halfway point through 2010, we want to remind you that the year is still half full! In addition to the great quality and low priced items we've always offered, we're extending our product line, and nothing is off limits. Can you think of an obscure item that you want to customize for your band or company? Throw us the idea! Just because you don't see it on the site doesn't mean we can't get it done. The sky is the limit, so start brainstorming! To give you some ideas, we've put together a blog to suggest some unique promotional items!
Unique Promotional Products and Why they Work. Not to mention... SPECIALS!
There are 2 reasons why people buy merch. Sometimes they'll like a band so much that they'll buy anything the band sells. Other times, people buy merch because the band is selling something really cool. Why not cater to both crowds? We want to make you band merchandise that's outside of the box- that you've never seen before- and will become known for. Remember, not only can you make money by selling merchandise, but you also get lots of promotion out of it. So get the gears turning and take advantage of these unique specials! Remember, if you don't see it, just ask!
Cozies
 What's more refreshing in the summer months than a nice cold soda or beer? Promoting your band! Give your fans something unique to take home, with a custom cozie with your band's logo on it. These collapsable cozies come in 15 different colors, and include 1 color puff ink with your choice of wrap-around printing, a single imprint, or two imprint locations.
Special: $159 for 250 custom cozies. No set up fees! Offer available for a limited time.
Why this works: It's practical. People will actually use this item, and it'll usually be in social situations which means lots of promotion for your band!
Wristbands
 We often see bands wearing wristbands while playing, but there's no reason that fans can't indulge in this fashionable and practical product as well. Available in 16 different colors, the wristband is embroidered for a high quality look and feel.
Special: $119 for 72 wristbands No set up fees! Offer available for a limited time.
Why this works: They're fashionable and can be worn just for fun. They're also practical and can be used as a sweatband at shows, sports, etc.
Trucker hats
 Band shirts are classic, but if you're looking for some apparel to sell to your fans that's a little different and maybe gives even better visibility, we've got an idea for you! Trucker hats. They're stylish, have great ventilation for the summer, and a big open space to screen print your logo onto. Available in 6 colors and includes 1 color ink screenprinting.
Special: $129 for 24 trucker hats No set up fees! Offer available for a limited time.
Why this works: They're cool, people actually wear them, and your band name or logo will have amazing visibility.
Beach balls
 Why this works: You can use them as an interactive part of your show! Throw them out from on stage, or let your fans purchase them at your merch table, and watch them bounce around the crowd as you play. Obviously you can use them at the beach too, or anywhere people have fun playing with balls! The best part is, every time someone sees the beach ball, they'll see the name of your band. Plus, you'll always be associated with a good time! This 16” multicolor beachball includes 1 color ink on 1 panel.
Special: $319 for 250 beach balls No set up fees! Offers available for a limited time.
Why it works: People can have fun with these, both at shows and on the beach. Always with your band in mind!
Sunglasses
 The style of the 80s is back, and neon glasses are no exception! The only thing that could make these sunglasses cooler, is to have your band name printed on the side. Take advantage of this special and shade the eyes of your hippest fans! Available in 6 tubular colors.
Special: $299 for 250 sunglasses No set up fees! Offer available for a limited time.
Why this works: You're advertising your band on people's faces.
