I ran across Empire Promos, which provide great promotional products to be used on a daily basis. Whether it is in school, work, or at different businesses we pass these kind of items during our daily routine.
Sometimes we receive different items that are not necessarily practical, but are just given as a logo/company name distributor, like a pocket clock (not watch) which is leather bound, given to me at my graduation. That gift was not necessarily something useful for me since I work on the Internet all day long.
A few times, we receive actual promotional desk items that are actually useful and practical; things that would come in handy, such as: disk on keys, usb hubs, and convenient tech products.
As much as some of these may not cost much, since they actually assist, I easily learn to appreciate the company for providing me these executive gifts.
Of course, if they started giving me little tech toys, say…a portable Digital Sudoku game, then I would be not just appreciative, but excited.
