How to Choose the Best Marketing Promotional Items 6


This blog tells a personal anecdote of a company trying to advertise their business. They ordered beautiful chocolate truffles with their logo stamped in silver foil on the packaging for an event. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the timing, and they were shipped 2 weeks too early in the middle of summer 7, to Florida. By the time, customers got their hands on them, they were an ugly, melted mess, as was the advertising company's reputation.

Moral of the story: hats melt in your mouth, not on your head. I'm kidding, but seriously, you'll never run into that kind of catastrophe when using caps to advertise your business.
