Build Customer Loyalty With A Thoughtful Safety Giveaway

Is your customer experience designed to make people want to return to your business again and again?

One of the best ways to build customer loyalty is to go above and beyond your customers’ expectations. A thoughtful promotional gift can do just that, especially a custom safety product.

The Safety Multifunction Tool with Flashlight is a car tool kit essential that proves customer safety is a top priority for you. It’s an excellent way to remind customers you care about them. It also shows they can depend on your company in more ways than one.

It’s Like Six Tools In One!

LED flashlight: This custom flashlight has bold white LED bulbs that shine up to 700ft in distance—that’s enough to brighten any room!
Emergency light: The LED lights along the handle can be set to a red flashing signal. In a roadside emergency, these flashers work just like flares; they can alert that you need help, or warn passing cars to keep a safe distance.
Work light: The light along the handle can also serve as a work light! It can be set to shine in a steady white light for dim work spaces, both in or out of the home.
Seat belt escape tool: Being trapped in the car after an accident can be deadly. Seat belts can jam, but the blade on this tool is strong enough to cut through tough seat belt material with ease. It’s guarded with plastic so users won’t have to worry about cutting themselves.
Glass breaker: Sometimes getting out of the vehicle can require breaking a window. Fortunately, the pointed metal dome at the head of the flashlight is designed to shatter glass. All anyone needs to do is use it like a hammer.
Magnet: The built-in magnet can help mount the light to metal surfaces for hands-free use or may be used to retrieve small metal items, such as screws, when dropped.

This Tool Is Universally Useful

A tool that’s this helpful in an auto emergency is a great gift for anyone who buys a car from your dealership, gets their vehicle serviced at your repair shop, or receives instruction from your driving school.

It will enhance your customer experience, and encourage positive word of mouth in a world where 92% of consumers trust recommendations from family and friends over traditional advertising.

A gift this practical is also ideal for employees or special customers within any business industry. Emergency preparedness is a universal concern, and anyone is bound to appreciate the company that helps them stay prepared.

Previous Clients Say This

This is a great gift for customers who deserve “a little more” than the typical gifts I provide. They love to keep them in their cars.
James, Business Owner

I give this item to my close friends and good clients. The flashlight is a great value and well received.
Sonny, Business Owner

I was very impressed with this product. The quality is top notch.
Pam, HR Manager

With your laser-engraved imprint, this amazing safety flashlight becomes a wonderful way to remind customers they’re valued; and customers who feel valued are more likely to be customers who return.

The Best Technology Gifts for the Holidays

Whether it’s the smart wearables strapped to our wrists or the smart devices placed inside and outside our homes, technology products continue to be a major part of our lives. That’s why they continue to make excellent gifts for the holidays. All people use tech promotional items in one way or another. Employees, partners, vendors, and clients rely on them to succeed at work and at home, so it makes perfect sense to find the season’s best technology gifts. Even if gadgets aren’t your thing (or your business, for that matter), there are so many innovative products on the market that you really can’t go wrong. And they don’t all have to break the bank, either, which is ideal for those of us with large workforces. There are also plenty of technology products that make great stocking stuffers or white elephant material. In any case, buying tech gifts for the important people in your professional life is a safe bet this holiday season. Here are Myron’s recommendations for the best technology gifts for 2019.

Bluetooth Speakers
Let’s start with a big one. Portable wireless speakers are all the rage this year. People bring them to parties and on camping trips, and they’re even used in the office during important presentations or training sessions. Because they’re found in a wide variety of settings, the product types are diverse and multifunctional. Some Bluetooth speakers work in the garage or home office; others double as portable coolers that can carry food and beverages to fun events. Every occasion can use a Bluetooth speaker, and luckily for you, there’s a Bluetooth speaker for every occasion.

Earbuds
Ever since the iPhone first hit shelves, earbuds have replaced headphones as the preferred device for music fans on the go. They’re lightweight, efficient, and, not unlike Bluetooth speakers, available in a wide variety of forms. There are traditional options that plug directly into your device, as well as wireless earbuds that are on the cutting edge of technology. Many of Myron’s earbuds also come with custom carrying cases that ensure everything stays connected and in one place – no need to worry about digging for your wireless earbuds at the bottom of a cluttered bag or backpack.

Portable Phone Chargers
As much as we rely on our smart phones to get by at work and in life, they don’t offer a limitless supply of power. That’s why power banks are such a valuable gift—they promote efficiency and sustain productivity. Rather than scramble to find an electrical outlet or drop what they’re doing so they can preserve battery life, people can use their portable phone charger to plug in and keep moving. It’s a perfect example of a technology gift that’s both exciting and functional. A lot of people are still stuck on the idea that they can’t charge their phone while on the go. Give them a new lease on life with a custom power bank.

USB Hub
It’s one thing to make sure your phone is charged – what about the other smart devices that play such important roles in our lives? If your phone battery is running low, you better make sure that your tablet, smartwatch, and Bluetooth headphones are fully charged. That’s where a USB charging hub comes in handy: You can plug in multiple devices at once and make sure that everything is powered up and ready to go. They make great gifts because they eliminate the very modern fear of not having access to the devices that matter most, whether that’s in the workplace or at home. Rather than charge one device at a time, they can power up everything at once, letting them kill two birds with one stone. (Potentially three or four birds, depending on just how into technology products they are.)

Best Gifts to Give Your Employee

The holidays are officially upon us. Like everyone else, your mind is probably on gifts. While it’s easy to spend most of your time thinking about the best things to get your friends and family, don’t forget about some of the most important people in your life: your employees. Sure, managers aren’t required to give their workers gifts during the holidays, but it always makes a good impression, and it’s the perfect occasion to reward people for a year of hard work. It doesn’t have to be some grand gesture, either—especially if annual bonuses and office parties are afoot. Just a small token of appreciation can go a long way.

But if you’re stressed about having to getting enough gifts for an entire group of people, or finding something that’s appropriate for the office, that’s where Myron can help. Whether your workforce is large or small, and regardless of your specific industry, we have something that can work for any situation. That’s because of our bulk order options, 100% satisfaction guarantee, and our wide range of product offerings.

Sure, there’s nothing wrong with a Starbucks gift card or a discount code they can use in your online store, but that stuff comes across as a predictable and impersonal. Why not take an item that everyone loves or needs, make it personal with an imprinted logo or message, and express your gratitude in a genuine way? These are our picks for the best items to buy your employees for the holidays.

Stylus Pens

It’s no secret that we take pens very seriously here at Myron, so we’d be remiss not to mention our special holiday offer. We have a discount collection featuring two versions of the Celena Soft Touch Stylus Pen: one red, one green. Both pens come with your custom imprint on the front, as well as an extra free holiday greeting on the back. The Celena Soft Touch Stylus Pen is expertly made, and with the additional stylus on the end, are the perfect tool to switch between a notepad and a smart pad. It’s functional, thoughtful, and the perfect gift for the season.

Laptop Bags

Looking for something a bit more stylish than pens? Take a look at our custom laptop bags. They meet the functionality requirement—people like the option to work from home, and a bag allows them to bring their work supplies to and from the office. They’re also stylish and suitable for weekend activities and travel. Laptop bags are a good option for offices that have a small workforce, and you can also stuff them with other gifts, if you’re so inclined, like those Starbucks gift cards.

A Box of Chocolates

After gifts, what’s the next thing most associated with the holidays? That’s right: food! From now until the end of the year, we’ll be surrounded by delicious dishes of every kind—some of it healthy, but most of it not-so-healthy. You might as well lean into the unhealthy options (come on, it’s the holidays!) and give your employees some candy. Myron has elegant chocolate boxes that come with holiday greetings and customizable options. If you’d like a fancier version, we also have a truffle option.

Personalized Jackets

Well, it’s officially cold outside, so give your employees the gift of warmth with a cool jacket or windbreaker, complete your imprinted logo. This is another good option for an office with less people in it, but there’s no better way to instill company pride than to giving your employees some fashionable outerwear that they can use throughout the season. We’ve partnered with brands like Nike, Port Authority, and Sport-Tek to bring custom ¼ zip pullovers, microfleece vests, and hooded jackets. You personalize these with your company logo, department name, or a team moto—whatever you need to commemorate a successful year.

Custom Drinkware

The holidays are a celebration, and nothing helps a celebration quite like beer, wine, and cocktails. Myron has some of the coolest customized drinkware on the market. As your employees raise a glass during holiday gatherings with friends and family, give them the opportunity to do so with your brand included. You can choose between craft beer glasses, shot glasses, stemless wine cups, and anything else required to generate a festive and jubilant environment. This kind of stuff is also perfect to hand during holiday parties and happy hours.

The Best Cross-Promotion Gifts for 2020

One of the cornerstones of marketing is finding unique ways to get your message in front of people. A cross-promotion strategy is among the more viable avenues to accomplish this, but not every company can afford high-profile partnerships or multimedia campaigns. For some businesses, the best option is a robust promotional push that uses popular products to showcase their brand, logo or messaging in areas where they don’t normally do business. There are certain products trending upward as we head into 2020, including tech items, drinkware, bar accessories, and dad hats. Of course, you can also stand by the perennial favorites: pens, mugs, pocket flashlights.

Choosing the right product is important. If you’re targeting people across industries, make sure to go with something that applies to them. Picking the wrong item can send the wrong message, and your brand gets lost amid the confusion. The right cross-promotion gifts will create a memorable experience that increases your market reach. At the end of the day, it’s all about selection.

Build your brand with these cross-promotion products

Hanging Out

The best approach to cross-promotion is to take an item everyone can use and put your logo on it. That’s where the purse hook comes in. Whether you offer catering services, technology repair, business consulting, website design, or really anything else, you can approach local bars and restaurants with these promotional items and instantly fill a glaring need. Most places don’t have a convenient place for people to put their purses and bags. When a bartender or server hands them this purse hook, people will not only will they recognize the convenience, but they’ll see your brand.

Build Up a Sweat

People have always been into exercise, but advances in technology have created new possibilities when it comes to physical fitness, the best example of which is the activity tracker. Companies like FitBit have transformed the health and wellness space with their products, so 2020 is the year the to hop on the trend. If you sell workout clothes, bodybuilding supplements, or health-conscious snacks, bring our activity tracker to a local gym, workout club or exercise group and help their clientele increase productivity. They’ll take your brand with them everywhere they go, and fellow fitness enthusiasts will take notice of the trendy activity tracker imprinted with your logo.

Hold My Beer

Food trucks and microbreweries have been a booming business for a while. Everyone knows they’re a match made in heaven, and it’s a bona fide celebration when the two come together. So if you’re a popular food truck doing business outside of a local brewpub, or a tap house that hosts street food vendors on weekends, you can market yourself with special koozies . Insulated beverage holders are an underrated gift, and you’ll put yourself in front of foodies and beer snobs alike.

Dance to the Music

Bluetooth technology has enabled us to accomplish all kinds of thing, including the most important thing: bringing the party anywhere. That’s why Bluetooth speakers [DH7] are going to be huge once again in 2020. People love being able to play their music regardless of where they are. You find them on camping trips, at the beach, during backyard cookouts, and anywhere else where fun is happening. The cross-promotional potential here is limitless. Your brand will be front and center for every 2020 party, which means people will associate you with celebrations and warm feelings.

Stylish and Functional Caps

Dad hats—those floppy, six-panel caps with the curved brim—are hugely popular at the moment. People like the ‘90s vintage feel, as well the flexibility and versatility they provide. A dad hat goes good with any casual outfit, and they’re much comfortable than the flat-brim, pro-style option. Your older clientele will gravitate toward these, and so will the younger crowd looking to make a standout fashion statement. It’s hard to beat such valuable reach.
