Product packaging is big business and an important way to keep your brand visible, mobile and in front of your target market. I sent flowers to my wife for mothers day and she was almost as impressed with the package as she was with the flowers.

Envelope printing; want to save some real money?
Posted by Chris Higgins on Mon, Apr 6, 2009 @ 08:47 AM
I was throwing away an envelope the other day and the postmark made me stop; the postage was $0.83; not that big of a deal if I was the only one receiving the letter but it was a form letter that probably went to thousands of people. $0.83 multiplied by thousands turns into real money pretty quick.

Printing promotes; take a lesson from the leaders

So I'm sitting on an airplane enduring a long painful flight and I find myself staring at the napkins they gave me with a drink. Staring back at me is the airline logo along with some message about how great they are, and I'm thinking why put their logo on something that very soon will be in the trash. I mean I know what airline I'm on, I know where I'm going and how I'm getting there.

Promotional advertising; the only advertising you truly control
Posted by Chris Higgins on Mon, Mar 9, 2009 @ 22:56 PM
Effective advertising is all about getting the right message in front of the right people at the right time. Traditional advertising or mass marketing can get your message in front of a lot of people, the problem is it's expensive and you have very little control over it. A lot of people doesn't necessarily mean the right people or the right time.
