• I channel surf when a TV commercial comes on.

• Most people throw away junk mail before it makes it in the house.

• The vast majority of us screen telemarketers.

• Did I mention spam filters?

I have always felt promotional products were the most effective method for getting a message across, whether an advertisement, a PSA, a traffic builder or an incentive.  While promotional products can be used in hundreds of ways, it remains the one advertising vehicle people say, "Thank you" for, it is in reality, a gift.

Custom packaging emphasizes the gift aspect of any promotion.  A custom box, a mug full of candy, a bag of assorted and useful items or a tumbler stuffed with goodies all offer unique packaging elements to any promotion.

• Packaging increases perceived value of a gift.

• Packaging can be as inexpensive or as pricey as your budget allows.

• Packaging allows for greater imprint/billboard area.

• Packaging is fun to open.

• Packaging turns your promotional product into a true gift.

Like Shirley Temple said, "Good things come in little packages".
