Whether you are out on the field, in the stands or tailgating in the parking lot, you have to have a place to sit. Seat cushions, stadium seats, folding chairs and cushions are a great custom fundraising idea for your Booster Club or to sell in your spirit shop. We also love these for corporate events, picnic and gifts.  Cushions, Seats, Chairs…folding, portable with carrying bags and straps, some with built in coolers or ponchos or blankets… some in sport shapes and all a must for your game day in your colors, featuring your logo/mascot or text.  So come on Take a Seat!

Custom Seat Cushions are among the most popular school and team spirit items we offer.  If you have ever sat on a hard bench or bleacher at a game you know you need one!! LOTS of great options and we love that you can sell ad space on one side while featuring your school logo/mascot on the other.  Many seat cushions can also be done in two-tone so you can show off both your school colors.

Folding Chairs and Seats make great corporate gifts and they are almost an essential for Soccer Moms and Dads.  We love the accessory pockets and drink holders.  Mascots/logos can be printed on the chair and on the carrying bags carrying bags

Stadium Seats These are great when you need more than a cushion and don’t have a spot for a chair.  The folding style makes carrying them to the game easy and there are spots for your program, snack and cell phone!!

These do it all- Cushion/Blanket/Poncho/Bag in one

Recently a client called in search of an idea for a summer promotion for their staff and clients that everyone could take part in and enjoy. Since the date for the event is in August we focused on something that makes everyone smile in the heat and humidity of August-Ice Cream!

With a nostalgic Ice Cream Truck hired, complete with bells, music and Good Humor Bars ,the next step was to plan for the goodies that would be around long after the  last scoop has melted-all in the company’s colors and sporting their logo.   An ice Cream social with style!

Ice Cream will be served up not only in cones but also in take away ice cream bowls with scoops .

Guests will receive an ice cream cone shaped pen and stress toy

and to keep things cool, a carry fan in…Yes, an Ice Cream Cone shape

There was a time that it was only kids on the block who rode around on their bicycles…Now,however, everyone is out there on a beautiful weekend and  thanks to Lance Armstrong cycling has become a very popular sport.

Have you noticed how many folks have dusted off their bicycles after the long winter and are out there peddling around town.  With the price of gasoline many are hopping on their bikes to get to work each morning and families are choosing “road trips” on their bicycles  rather than in their cars.   It seems like cycling has never been more popular whether it is mountain biking or just a ride to the post office…riding a bike is fashionable once again…

We love promotional products that people will actually use and bike themed ideas are perfect for spring and summer giveaways and promotions…tradeshow giveaways, company outings, community outreach, charity rides…are all great opportunities to get your logo out there in a way that will attract attention and on a product that people will be happy to receive and use!

Tire gauges, odometers, safety lights, reflectors, flags, seat covers, bike plates, repair kits, water bottles, bottle holders, tire pumps, spoke reflectors.bike baskets–all sporting your logo are just a few of the products available that will get the wheels in motion to a great promotional season.

These are some ideas to get you peddling in the right direction…Be sure to visit our website and Buzz Us for more ideas including a great selection of custom bike bottles and water bottles.
