    What promotional products have you recieved over the years that excited you? What ones do you use the most?

    I'm thinking of getting some made up at some point and I'm wondering which product would be the best to start with. Because of minimum order amounts I wouldn't start off with a bunch of products.

    One thing I really want is t shirts. This could be offered as prizes in our monthly contests. I'm looking at getting a logo made soon. Once I get some designs it I might ask the members opinions on them.

    So what products do you use daily and not just toss in the corner?

    Not too into stickers really. But I use pens, hats and t-shirts. Sweatshirts too but that ups the
    cost a bit over t-shirts.

    I would like to do sweaters down the road. I really want a hoody. I wear then a lot when its cool out. I wear them till it gets pretty cold. I'm not big on jackets for some reason until it gets really cold.

    Once I can get a logo done I want to get a small run of t shirts done up.

    T-Shirts, Hats and thumb drive would probably suit best just because they are useful

    I wear T-shirts every day simply because I cannot wear anything else. I do not like wearing expensive clothes all the time and T-shirts make me most comfortable. I use hats once in a while but not that often. The one thing in this list that I never use is a pen. If I want to write anything, I type it on my computer or just memorize it.

    I like T-shirts, it would be cool to have a chance to win one as a promotional prize too, I voted for that :)

    Maybe I would go for pens. I like to have a good pen and pens are very useful to me since my job is to look for clients, deal with them, offer our product and I really need a pen handy with me since every now and then, I write notes. I already received a lot of it from those top companies that I attended.

    Pens and a 16+ gb thumbdrive are things I'd use! A t-shirt if the design was nice, too. It really depends on how the products end up looking as to how often I'd use them (and whether or not I'd buy them in the first place.) Promo items are a good idea though!

    Thumb drives are very nice, I use them almost daily. Useful little buggers, they are! Pens are also good, so long as it is a quality pen, and not the kind of pen you get from a 50 pack for 5 bucks.

    T-shirts, I actually casted my vote for that. That's something I could see myself using, not everyday, but often. Like for example at home when I know I have nowhere to go. I use pens, but I have my preferred brand of pens. I still think T-shirts are a great idea.

    I said T-shirts, I use them to sleep in :) Also, pens, because I need pens all the time. Just make sure they are GOOD pens! Crappy pens go right in the garbage. And I also said thumb drives... we always need those!

    T shirts are at the top of my list. They are not a small investment. I have found a shop with a decent price but all shops have a minimum of 12 shirts for screen printing. I'm doing them for sure but I'm looking into an idea which could get me a bigger order. Not sure if that will pan out but its worth a shot.

    The first ones will be logo shirts. Of my idea works I might be able to add in other designs very soon.

    The shirts will be for sale and will be put up as prizes for the new competition software that should be on the site this weekend.

    I have someone asking for a shirt(s) to buy so if anyone else wants to buy on, they can get them at a discount.

    If you want one and don't want to pay, you can wait for a contest and try to win one.

    T-shirts are a great idea. It's better if you make them with good quality even if they cost somewhat more because in that way they will last longer and look better and it's more advertising for the site.

    Mmm, I wonder where that software competition is... :)

    T-Shirts without doubt! Till about a year back I would have gladly held on to a Shirt, but now T-shirt for sure. Of course, pen is the one thing which does not leave my side. So, in order of preference T-Shirt, but in order of time spent - Pen.

    The first ones will have the logo I designed for the site. They will be like the bottom set.

    I. Obed for t shirts, hats, land yards and stickers. I plan on ordering some small stickers. They are great for tool boxes and so on.

    They look great, I just wonder if the logo on the T-shirt isn't too big? My favorite is the black one. ;)

    I love Tshirts, keychains, hats even mouse pads that are car related for me and to give as gifts. I always collect up any car memorabilia (like the In and Out drive in Tshirts) and put them in my families birthday and Christmas packages. Yes I come from a whole family of gear heads!

    You need to check out Vistaprint...the folks who make the business cards you design on line. They are doing a 6 dollar Tshirt promo and you can use their on line tool to design it. No minimums and they look pretty cool...play with the tool and look at what you can make in a few minutes. I think they are going to do so well with this promotion, but I think it would be a great way for you to go.

    $6? Really? I need to check that out. I have checked out a lot of different places and shirts cost much more then that and you have to pay for the screen set up.

    I will take a look at them. I used them to print my business card for this site. Another good place for business card is Overnight Prints. They have great cards at great prices as well.
