			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designing a marketing campaign year after year can be difficult when you have a limited budget but endless ideas for promotions. Rather than waste your time or money on promotional products that your customers will not appreciate, opt for an item that they will reach for time after time. Promotional baseball caps have always been a smart way to advertise your company, but they have gotten even more cost-effective and even eco-friendlier over time. Identity Links is proud to announce the inclusion of a <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/apparel/hats-n-caps/baseball-hats/trade-show-convention-sports-cap-">low-cost baseball cap</a> that you will be not only proud of giving to your customers, but wearing yourself all summer long. <span id="more-583"></span></p>
<p>Our promotional budget baseball caps are made of durable polypropylene, a material that has made a significant difference in the promotional products industry. Not only is it cheaper to manufacture your favorite marketing tools with, but it is eco-friendly as well, giving your company more bang for the buck. You know that customers these days are searching for the best value for their money, all while working to save the environment for the next generation. Sure, you can purchase baseball caps in more traditional materials such as cotton, polyester or canvas, but you will find that our polypropylene hats are half the cost and just as attractive. You will have a hard time finding such a durable promotional baseball cap at just $1.88 per unit anywhere else!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t think that imprinted baseball hats are only ideal for sports companies. You will find that nearly any industry can utilize a baseball cap in their upcoming marketing campaigns. With prices this low, you can easily hand them out at conventions, trade shows, symposiums, concerts and other outdoor events. Trust us, your customers will love the look of a baseball cap and will appreciate a promotional product that they can rely on year after year.</p>
<p>Baseball caps are not the only products that are being made with polypropylene these days. You can also find this material in other promotional products like backpacks, bags and aprons. You can find this diverse material in our <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/Closeouts/Bags-and-Water-Bottles/non-woven-jute-and-polypropylene-tote">jute tote bags</a>, <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/padfolios-journals/padfolios-writing-pads/cameo-polypropylene-padfolio">padfolios</a>, <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/bags/back-packs/drawstring-barrel/heavy-polypropylene-bag">drawstring bags</a> and even our most popular items like <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/drinkware/Acrylic-Tumblers/16-oz-double-wall-polypropylene-snap-on-tumbler-w-straw">double-walled tumblers</a> with straws. So go ahead and search our inventory for low-cost but high-quality products made with polypropylene.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Identity Links has been in business for over forty years. Thanks to the hard work of dedicated sales representatives and loyal customers, we have become an industry leader for promotional products. Part of our success is due to the fact that we have been able to establish relationships with many name brands such as Nike, Cutter and Buck, Parker Pens, Columbia, Victorinox and many more. Knowing that our customers are always searching for the best and latest promotional products, we are proud to announce a new partnership with Bose.</p>
<p><span id="more-579"></span></p>

If you are searching for the best sound products on the market, you can trust Bose to give you the latest technology in sleek designs.

Imagine your company logo on a set of Bose noise-canceling headphones or a Wave sound system! Your customers will not only be amazed at your attention to detail, but will be able to use your promotional product for years to come.</p>
<p>If it is in your budget, we seriously urge you to consider shifting your next marketing campaign to include our promotional Bose products. Or you can use promotional Bose products as sales incentives for your company&#8217;s top earners. Run your own campaign and watch your employees work harder than ever to earn a Bose product like a Wave sound system or headphones. We know that reputation means everything these days, which is why we worked so hard to become a Bose distributor for the promotional products industry.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The key to both maintaining your current client base and increasing it is by running promotional campaigns that captivate your clients. While there are times that you want to rely on your standard promos like imprinted pens, custom shaped magnets and business cards, you should mix up your promotional strategy at least once a year. As more and more people are turning to eco-friendly options for shopping, cleaning, dining and even promoting, your customers are more likely to appreciate promotional products like seeded paper and seed packets. <span id="more-574"></span></p>
<p>Promotional seeded paper products are one of our most popular items so far this year. Never heard of seeded paper before? The concept is both unique and useful. Take, for example, our <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/seeds/lil-bloomer-bookmarks">Wildflower Seed Bookmarks</a>. These marketing tools give you two products in one: a bookmark that features your company logo and a small seeded flower. Simply plant this flower into your garden or a pot in your home and water it regularly. Flowers will start to grow in no time, beautiful specimens that will remind your customers just how thoughtful and creative your company can be.</p>
<p>We offer a variety of seeded products that will accommodate nearly every marketing and promotional need. There are dozens of greeting cards, including holiday and gift card versions, all of which can be designed to best represent your company&#8217;s logo and/or message. Not only can you plant a portion of the greeting card, but the rest of the card and the envelope as well is recyclable. If you aren&#8217;t sure where to begin, take a look at our <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/seeds/seed-paper-greeting-card">Custom Imprinted Seed Paper Greeting Cards</a> to start customizing your own. You can also find <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/seeds/invitations-with-attached-seed-paper-shape">invitations </a>and announcements in this category as well.</p>
<p>While seeded products are popular, seed packets are another great idea for eco-friendly promotions. Small and slim, you can include one or multiple imprinted seed packets in your next mailer campaign, hand them out at garden centers or sell them at fundraisers. There are dozens of options when it comes to promotional seeded packets: wildflowers, butterfly mix, California poppy, <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/Seed-Packs/zinnia-california-giant-mixed-standard-seed-packet">zinnias</a>, marigolds and so much more. Of course, there are packets that will help your vegetable, fruit and herb gardens grow as well, such as the packets for lettuce, chives, basil and <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/Seed-Packs/organic-watermelon-sugar-baby-seed-packet">watermelon</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, if you really wanted to make an impact during your next promotional campaign, you could give customers the tools they need to use promotional seed packets properly. Check out our garden section to find promotional <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/home-amp-garden/garden-items/tools-sets/garden-logo-trowels">trowels</a>, <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/home-amp-garden/garden-items/tools-sets/flower-watering-can">watering cans</a>, rakes and <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/home-amp-garden/garden-items/tools-sets/handy-gardeners-tote-bag">tote bags</a> to keep everything organized. If your customers are more urban than surburban, consider a <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/environmentally-friendly/Grow-Kits/seed-planting-terracotta-pot">seed packet with mini terracotta pot</a> which can be kept at home or the office. Just about everyone can appreciate fresh greens and flowers, making seeded products, seed packets and seed/pot combos ideal for nearly everyone on your client list.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, you love drinking beer. But as a self-proclaimed beer aficionado, did you know that there was a holiday entitled New Beer&#8217;s Eve? Don&#8217;t consider yourself a true pro until you have finished reading this article.<span id="more-567"></span></p>
<p>While New Beer&#8217;s Day is not a national holiday &#8211; it should be! &#8211; it is an unofficial one that people love to celebrate. It falls every year on April 7th and is celebrated by drinking copious amounts of, you guessed it, beer. The holiday has its roots in the Prohibition. The end of the Prohibition came when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act, which effectively ended the dry period in America. The sale of beer became legal once again on April 7, 1933, as long as each state had also passed laws allowing for the sale of beer.</p>
<p>Beer could be sold as long as it had an alcohol content of less than 3.2 percent. Anything greater than 3.2 percent was said to bring about intoxication, something that the government was not prepared to unleash just yet. People waited outside of taverns and other beer providers on the night of April 6 in order to get their first sweet taste of beer legally for the first time in over 13 years. So how should you celebrate New Beer&#8217;s Eve? Take a look at these fun promotional beer products that you will want to use all year long:</p>
<p><strong>Beer Mug</strong>: With so many to choose from, you could drink beer out of a new mug for weeks on end. We prefer mugs that are out of the ordinary, such as the <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/light-up/glasses/20-oz-lonestar-boot-mug">Lonestar Mug</a> shaped like a cowboy boot that lights up when slammed down onto the bar.</p>
<p><strong>Keychain</strong>: Keep forgetting what you need to do after work today? Just look down at your <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/tools-amp-flashlights/flashlights/novelty-flashlights/beer-mug-soft-touch-key-tag-light">keychain </a>and you will remember that you need to stop by the pub to meet friends for happy hour. Squeeze this key tag to produce a light that will help guide you home.</p>
<p><strong>Candle</strong>: Nothing says romance and class like a candle. Unless it is this <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/personal-care/relaxation/beer-shaped-wax-candle">beer shaped shotglass candle</a> which screams party hardy and bring on the good times.</p>
<p><strong>Stress Reliever</strong>: If drinking beer doesn&#8217;t take the edge off your busy day, try squeezing this <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/stress-relievers/food-drink/beer-mug-stress-reliever">beer-shaped stress reliever</a> at the same time. At the very least, it will distract you for a few minutes while the bartender gets your next drink.</p>
<p><strong>Sunglasses</strong>: Blaming bad decisions on beer goggles? Put these funky <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/outdoor-items/sunglasses/bottoms-up-sunglasses">sunglasses </a>on and people just might start to believe you.</p>
<p><strong>Pen</strong>: Need to write yourself a note about how you need to pick up a 6-pack before you go home? Use this beer-shaped <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/pens-pencils-amp-more/Shaped-Pens-and-Pencils/Longneck-Beer-Bottle-shaped-bent-pen">pen </a>and you are certain to remember your important post-work chore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you live in Chicago, there is nothing quite like celebrating St. Patrick&#8217;s Day.

In an effort to inspire healthy eating in all age groups, races and genders, National Nutrition Month reminds us that we can take control of our health by considering how important nutrition is to every aspect of our life.<span id="more-549"></span></p>
<p>Several years ago the National Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics started National Nutrition Month to inspire healthy eating combined with regular exercise to make Americans healthier and happier. Each year features a different theme that is intended to inspire regular eating habits that are both nutritious and delicious. This year the theme is &#8220;Get Your Plate in Shape.&#8221; By understanding how different proportions of food can affect your diet and health, the NAND hopes to instill healthy habits in children as well as in adults.</p>
<p>So how do you get your customers/clients excited about National Nutrition Month? Give them promotional goodies that will help them get back on track. Below are a few ideas that can lead to healthy eating habits and happier clients:</p>
<p><strong>Salad Container</strong>: Every knows that salads are a great way to get your daily dose of veggies. But bringing salads to work and on-the-go can be a hassle. That is, until you realize that you can use a special salad container like the <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/home-amp-garden/kitchen/storage-containers-tupperware/salad-to-go-storage-container-with-salad-dressing-holder">Salad to Go Storage Container with Salad Dressing Holder. </a>This handy container makes it easy to bring your favorite salads with your wherever you go. This unique container allows you to separate the different parts of your salad, keeping everything crisp and fresh until you are ready for lunch.</p>

This handy book features helpful tips about eating, what foods to stay away from and ideas for healthy recipes.</p>
<p><strong>Nutrition and Exercise Journal</strong>: Once you understand how to eat better, doctors recommend keeping a <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/sports/exercise-and-fitness/books-journals-and-cards/nutrition-and-exercise-journal">journal </a>to stay on track. By writing down what you eat on a daily basis, it is easy to see how your diet influences your weight loss and overall health. This journal includes a section for fitness notes as well, allowing you to mix up your workouts and keep you on track for your overall fitness goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you one of those people who groans when you see someone pulls out a check book at the supermarket? Thanks to ever-changing technology, we can make purchases online and in person in just minutes. However, the speed and ease with which we can make purchases comes with a price. Hackers and identity thieves are able to obtain your identity and other personal information thanks to RFID chips.<span id="more-545"></span></p>
<p>What is a RFID chip?</p>
<p>This is a super thin microchip that is inserted into a device to make the relaying of information faster than ever. While these chips have generally been used on larger items, such as cars and livestock, they are making their way into mainstream culture. Several credit card companies are working with national brands to develop RFID technology that can make the consumer&#8217;s life easier. For example, 7-11 is working with Mastercard to develop a touch-free payment system that will obtain your payment data without having to ever swipe a card.</p>
<p>Sounds great, right?</p>
<p>Although it is fast and easy, this free flow of data means that people who want to steal that information have more avenues to do so.  In order to protect your personal information and prevent identity fraud, there is a simple step you can take that can make all the difference.  The promotional  <a href="http://www.identity-links.com/professions/finance-banking/financial-services/rfid-blocker-credit-card-sleeve">RFID Block Credit Card Sleeve</a> is designed to keep your information safe while on the go. If you leave your RFID-enabled card unprotected, you risk the possibility of having your information stolen by someone who has access to RFID reading devices.</p>
<p>Your customers will appreciate not only your grasp of changing technologies but your concern for their safety. When you give your customers a promotional RFID card sleeve, they will be able to move about freely without worrying about having their identity stolen. Made from a special process using alloys, this sleeve will keep your data safe from hackers around the world. This sleeve has been approved under FIPS 201, the Federal Information Processing Standard, as outlined by the federal government.</p>
<p>Searching for the next big promotional item? Order RFID credit card sleeve blockers now and you will find yourself with an even stronger customer base that trusts your instincts.</p>
