Though summer hasn’t reached its conclusion, many folks are already looking ahead toward winter. After last year’s storms buried most of the United States under snow, it’s hard to blame anyone for preparing for the cold season even if it is still warm outside.
Unfortunately, it seems that this winter will be quite brutal. According to Farmers’ Almanac, winter 2013-2014 will feature lower than average temperatures for approximately two-thirds of the country. The news source expects the Far West and Southeast to be the only two areas that will be within their normal range of temperatures for the season.
“We’re using a very strong four-letter word to describe this winter, which is C-O-L-D. It’s going to be very cold,” said Sandi Duncan, the almanac’s managing editor, Fox News reports.
This is bad news for everyone who loathes the idea of bundling up and trudging through the snow every day to get to work. There is hope that the almanac isn’t correct, but Fox News points out that the publication boasts an 80 percent accuracy rating.
If the prediction does come true, people will likely scramble to find ways to stay warm. While the frigid weather might seem like an absolute negative, it’s actually a great opportunity for small business owners to hold promotional giveaways over the next few months.
Entrepreneurs can distribute unique promotional products that customers can use to combat the cold and stay toasty. There are many great sponsored items that company leaders can hand out to all of their loyal clients. The following is a look at some great gifts that patrons will love so that Jack Frost won’t nip at their noses.
16 Oz. Stainless Steel Tumbler
There are few things that can ruin a worker’s day more than a cold cup of coffee in the morning. When winter weather rolls in, it’ll be nearly impossible to keep java warm when employees are waiting for their buses or trains.
Fortunately, small business owners can ensure that their staff members and clients don’t drink any cold coffee by distributing the 16 Oz. Stainless Steel Tumbler. The insulated container will keep beverages nice and warm so that people don’t have to drink as fast as possible to enjoy the heat.
Additionally, the tumbler also prevents users from burning their hands. The insulated body traps the heat and stays cool on the outside so that people can carry the container everywhere without risking minor injuries or discomfort.
Merida gloves
It seems like it’s nearly impossible to keep hands warm during the winter. Many people stuff their hands inside their pockets, but that strategy offers little protection from the cold and can be somewhat uncomfortable. Additionally, mittens are very cumbersome because they eliminate the ability to use fingers individually.
That’s why small business owners should consider offering gloves to their employees and best clients. For women, the Custom Touch Screen Gloves are the perfect option and men would enjoy the Merida Men’s Sheepskin Gloves. These models combine fashion and function so recipients can look good while they stay warm all winter long.
