Employee Appreciation: How to Make Your Company the Best Place to Work
This article discusses employee appreciation and recognition and the role that promotional products can play. One way to instill a sense of loyalty in your company is by recognizing employees and thanking them for their service.
Giving new hire gifts, anniversary gifts, and job-well-done gifts can go a long way in connecting your employees emotionally to the company. Plus, if you give them a hat branded with the company’s logo you’re creating instant advertising and brand recognition when they wear it out in the community.

Why Print Catalogs are as Relevant as Ever
We talk a lot about how the Internet is taking over. We live in a digital world, after all. Department brick-and-mortar stores are closing their doors; bookstores are becoming obsolete.
But one thing that still rings true in our industry is printed catalogs. Although many prefer their Kindle books to a hard copy (many crazy people, if you ask me), physical catalogs still dominate in the promotional products industry.
Nearly every booth at PPAI either had catalogs they were handing out, or they were scanning contact information to ship them. SAGE offers 3 top reason catalogs are still relevant.
- Print catalogs are a tangible way to connect consumers with your brand.
- Print catalogs don’t get thrown in spam folders.
- Print catalogs facilitate online sales.
