<description><![CDATA[When Sandra Alexander, a marketing rep for cosmetic firm darci by Di Caprio, sent out a press releas]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Sandra Alexander, a marketing rep for cosmetic firm darci by Di Caprio, sent out a press release announcing the firm&#8217;s new makeup brush cleaner in September 2011, she never dreamed that the product would find itself in the Oscar gift bags of Hollywood&#8217;s elite at last year&#8217;s Oscar ceremony.</p>
<p>Upon reading the press release, a representative from an agency that specializes in the entertainment industry reached out to Darci Henry and Lisa Di Caprio, to see if they would be interested in contributing their new brush cleaner to the gift bags for Oscar nominees in the top five categories of the 2012 Oscars.</p>
<p>At first the pair ignored the call, but after receiving a second call telling them their product would be great for the celebrity swag bag, they decided to get involved. &#8220;Make it as unique as you can,&#8221; was the only request the agency made. The women brainstormed about how best to build around this opportunity, and ultimately won raves and press coverage, including mentions in Lucky magazine and Philadelphia Business Journal for the cleverly designed gift packaging, which centered on the founders&#8217; mission statement, &#8220;The Beauty of Believing in Yourself.&#8221; Henry and Di Caprio, divorced mothers who overcame personal adversity, became best friends and started darci by Di Caprio to support themselves, become independent and inspire others to do the same.</p>
<p>The women chose boxes that looked like hollowed-out books bearing the tagline, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Judge a Book by Its Cover.&#8221; The box contained the brand&#8217;s signature brush cleaner, with limited-edition Kabuki brushes (no animal hair was used and the product was cruelty free-certified by PETA) as well as a towel with the brand&#8217;s logo to dry off the brushes.</p>
<p>A card insert read, &#8220;You can&#8217;t summarize your career with one performance, define a character with a single facial expression or take one look at someone and understand who they are or how far they&#8217;ve come. On the surface, your makeup brushes may seem clean. But look a little closer and you may find a different story.&#8221; The gift box also contained a mini movie script and a short video on a USB drive telling the story behind the brand.</p>
<p>Appearances on talk shows and morning shows to discuss the Oscar gift bags reached almost 3 million viewers. The press that darci by Di Caprio received resulted in increased traffic in their PA-based store, plus the addition of four new wholesale accounts, including Beauty Cirque, New Beauty at Fred Segal, and two major online retailers, <a class="smarterwiki-linkify" href="http://www.beautysak.com">www.beautysak.com</a> and <a class="smarterwiki-linkify" href="http://www.dermstore.com">www.dermstore.com</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mugs with a company logotype anyone? Are you cutting budgets this year? Are you being told to hold back on marketing spend? In tough times, the best investment your marketing department can make spells Promotional Products, and according to a recent study it&#8217;s a far better and cheaper brand builder than any <b style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66;">TV</b> <b style="color:black;background-color:#a0ffff;">commercial</b> or brochure.</p>
<p>Marketing executives often sneer at Promotional items as second-rate marketing, which has turned it into an unfortunate category thought of as &#8220;cheap give-aways&#8221; or last minute need-to-haves for trade shows. Not so anymore. Advertising agencies and creative directors, take notice!</p>
<p>The recent study by the Brand Steyer Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, clearly demonstrates that promotional merchandising is a significant contributor in building brand equity &#8211; at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing. In the study, which measured results against Television, Print and Billboard against Promotional Products the following was identified:</p>
<p>- Promotional Products increased brand recognition rate with 5%</p>
<p>- 70% of respondents could not memorize which media campaigns they had been exposed to over the time</p>
<p>period but could remember using Promotional Products such as branded Coffee Mug, Tote Bags or Key Chains.</p>
<p>- 65% of the respondents reported sharing or passing on the Promotional Products to at least 2 family members</p>
<p>The break down? Give your client a mug &#8211; they will remember it, and your brand will be seen by at least 3 people. European <b style="color:black;background-color:#99ff99;">companies</b> are taking after the study and the industry as a whole is seeing an order increase of 14%. US <b style="color:black;background-color:#99ff99;">companies</b> are just beginning to take notice. &#8220;This is an untapped goldmine&#8221;, says Leif Svensson, head researcher behind the study.</p>
<p>The researchers at the Stockholm institute further found that 40 % of those interviewed indicated that the &#8220;quality and quantity of promotional merchandise played a significant part in the business decision making&#8221;.</p>
<p>You read it right, and its good news for merchandisers worldwide &#8211; the promotional gifts you bring to the sales call have a significant impact on closing the deal you make!</p>
<p>So next time you or your team are out paying visit to prospect and clients, it&#8217;s a smart move to plan your marketing budget and stock up on Promotional Products.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in the process of slashing budgets or considering cost-effective ways to build your brand &#8211; don&#8217;t rest on your laurels &#8211; consider promotional products and merchandise programs as the premier alternative to costly marketing activities such as <b style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66;">TV</b> or Print.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This keychain mirrors the iconic blue rubber signature tab found on the back of each and every pair of KEDS Sneakers. I got this thing decades ago, and it&#8217;s none the worse for wear. I also had this really cool KEDS spy camera. It was about an inch by an inch and a half, the body was molded from the same signature KEDS cobalt blue plastic, and had a little plastic fisheye lens that made it really neat-o. Anyway, that&#8217;s long gone, but I do still have this KEDS Original Keychain. I&#8217;m thinking it might look nice with a blue rubber Vespa key attached. What say you? Keep? Or kick this sneaker promo item to the curb?<a href="http://jurymystuff.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/keds-keyring.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image" id="i-831" alt="Image" src="http://jurymystuff.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/keds-keyring.jpg?w=230" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sussexpromotions.co.uk"><strong>Promotional products</strong></a> are a fantastic marketing tool. They give the marketing manager a great return on his investment. There are many different products that one can buy to promote a product. However, before choosing his product, it is important for the marketing manager to keep certain things in mind. The most important thing is that the product should be useful. The customer should find some use for it in his day to day life. The second feature is that it should be colourful and flamboyant. The design needs to be appealing. Whoever lays their eyes on the product should be not only impressed but also curious as to where the user got the item from.</p>
<p>The concept behind such promotional items is actually quite simple. If the <a href="http://www.sussexpromotions.co.uk"><strong>promotional items</strong></a> are useful for the recipient he will use it. If he uses it a lot he will also see the message on the product. Others around him like his friends, colleagues and relatives will also manage to get a good look at these products. Seeing the name of the company or the message on the product will mean that the advertising value of the item will go up.</p>
<p>There is great value in using things like <a href="http://www.sussexpromotions.co.uk/promotional-mugs-best-sellers.html"><strong>printed mugs</strong></a> to promote a company. Just compare this to an email or a television commercial. Promoting a company through these methods is not only cheaper but it also means that more people will get to know about the advertiser.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Promotional products are utilized by all companies everywhere. <a href="http://promonet.com.au/bags.html"> promotional merchandise</p>
<p> </a>Items branded with companies logos are provided away or included in addition to a sales promotion are employed to boost sales or promote a whole new product or service. You won&#8217;t need to look far to find out about the extent promotional gifts are utilized to promote a product or service. The pens with your desk, mugs in the cupboard or logo&#8217;s on any clothing possibly you have; surely you will see an issue that was used for promotion. As with any industry steps should be established to make sure promotional gifts feel secure. Particularly since they are often used as giveaways companies often source the most cost effective items available. Sometimes with anything the least expensive merchandise is not invariably the ideal and frequently corners are cut to conserve the extra pennies on each item.</p>
</p>
<p>Just a few days ago one of several corporate has gotten to recall 11 million collectible drinking glasses painted while using the characters with the for the reason that pain in the individual contains cadmium. The main fast food chain was selling these glasses within an offer once the movie was already released. The paint however has been seen as to have substance whose long term exposure could potentially cause long run health effects and is also employed in the creation of batteries. Shares have since dropped by over 2% to the announcement in the news. How do promotional items originate from and the way could an important company like slip up on this type of basic precaution in manufacturing. Similar to most companies today, savings are wanted from the obtaining promotional products especially online traffic products are used as giveaways. </p>
</p>
<p>Many products because so many manufacturing lately are sought from the se, which although may incur substantial savings also may include its risks. When a product isn&#8217;t going to observe strict safety guidelines then these items could end up detrimental to your brand. Now of course order of promotional items is manufactured these never meet protection ultimately Oahu is the brand that will suffer. It is essential to determine the experience and standard with the distributor you are sourcing your items from. Do they have their own factories? What steps will they cover to ensure all of the products meet strict health and safety guidelines? Can they provide you with any guidance when selecting &#8220;safe&#8221; items for your forthcoming promotion?</p>
</p>
<p>In the long run it does not take company that may be distributing those things that faces the penalty. <a href="http://promonet.com.au/pens.html?filter=%28productSubCategory=33%29&#38;sub=Metal%20Pens&#38;pSub=33"> promotional products </a> In fact it is actually their name printed upon them, there isn&#8217;t escaping. If a massive take out giant have been caught out for their recent batch of promotional merchandise, what allow you to so positive that you do not suffer? So within your next order of promotional items, be certain that you&#8217;re aware about the implications of perhaps ordering those items which are merely that small bit too cheap. they may be finest quality in promotional product.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dreams do come true, as I recently experienced the ultimate combination of business and pleasure when our company sponsored the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RedSoxCelebrityClassic"><strong>2013 Boston Red Sox Children&#8217;s Celebrity Classic</strong></a>, a signature event that has <em><strong>raised millions for The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Upping the ante for the 20<sup>th</sup> anniversary event: a jaw-dropping matching contributions by two generous donors, Tom Golisano (for whom the Children’s Hospital is now named) and a pair of anonymous donors. Though still being tabulated, the two-day event <strong>raised $685,000</strong>!</p>
<p>To commemorate this special occasion, Lee Memorial Health System Foundation asked Promotional Incentives to provide the coveted ‘swag’ bags. A stylish durable duffle bag was selected as the commemorative for this landmark tournament.</p>
<p>The two-tone bag was imprinted with three logos: Red Sox 20<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Celebrity Classic, the new Golisano Children’s Hospital, and the image of Promotional Incentives Gumby with the phrase, <strong>“P.I. Gumby loves children and the Green Monster!”</strong></p>
<p>Included in the bag full of giveaways and coupons, was a green Sharpie® imprinted with the “Going Green with <a href="http://www.promotionalincentives.com">Promotional Incentives</a>” logo. The permanent marker was an ideal giveaway for celebrity autographs and identifying golf balls. <a href="http://promotionalincentives.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/brscc_duffle-002.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-331" alt="Promotional Incentives Promotional Bag for Red Sox Classic" src="http://promotionalincentives.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/brscc_duffle-002.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Several of the LMHS Foundation staff commenting on the high quality of the duffle bag. <em><strong>“It’s definitely the best bag we’ve ever had,”</strong></em> said Katy Martinez, special events coordinator for the Foundation.</p>
<p>Thursday night’s Tee Party was filled with sports celebrities and incredible opportunities for special events and memorabilia. Baseball greats Mike Greenwell, Luis Tiant and Jim Rice along with special guest University of South Carolina football head coach Steve Spurrier signed autographs and shared stories with the attendees. Part of the dream come true was my brother, a lifelong Red Sox fan, had the unique opportunity to share one of his personal memories with Mike Greenwell.</p>
<p>Also present were local celebrities such as Kelly Burns, always generously gives time and enthusiastic flair to facilitate bidding, LMHS leaders Jim Nathan and Sharon McDonald, were on hand to meet and greet. Dustin and Stefanie Ink-Edwards, who inaugurated a Mud Run that raised $100,000 for The Children’s Hospital, gave personal testimony to the hospital that saved their children’s lives.</p>
<p>The staff of The Forest Country Club were outstanding – from bartenders, wait and bus staff, to managers and directors, all helped insure a successful event. It’s no wonder they are the host every year.  During the tournament, duffers were greeted warmly by residents eager to share helpful hints and encouragement. Sponsoring this amazing event was a fitting celebration of our 22<sup>nd</sup> anniversary.<em id="__mceDel"><a href="http://promotionalincentives.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/rscc_2013-045.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-334" alt="Promotional Incentives at Red Sox Celebrity Classic" src="http://promotionalincentives.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/rscc_2013-045.jpg?w=210&#038;h=158" width="210" height="158" /></a></em></p>

<description><![CDATA[Marketplace Fairness Act Targets Out-Of-State Sellers Through our legislative contacts and lobbyists]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Marketplace Fairness Act Targets Out-Of-State Sellers</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Through our legislative contacts and lobbyists, PPAI has access to up-to-the-minute information, insight and analysis that you won’t see published anywhere else. The information in this month’s special Washington Report focuses on the Marketplace Fairness Act and the debate over the collection of sales and use taxes from consumers by out of state sellers. It is timely information that will help you become more aware and better prepared to advocate for your business, profession and industry.</p>
<p>I hope you find this information beneficial to your business.</em></p>
<p>Legislation has been introduced that addresses a long-standing debate over the collection of sales and use taxes from consumers by out-of-state sellers for the states in which those consumers reside.</p>
<p>The Marketplace Fairness Act, introduced in the Senate as S. 336 and in the House as HR 684, reflects several states’ acceptance of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) in 2002. The SSUTA is essentially a multi-state agreement to simplify national sales tax laws by establishing a uniform system of administering and collecting sales tax on out-of-state retail transactions—these transactions alone add up to several trillion dollars.</p>
<p>The SSUTA was approved in 2002 by a vote of representatives of 33 states and the District of Columbia. That number currently stands at 44 states.</p>
<p>The effort as it is being implemented by participating states is known as the Streamlined Sales Tax Project (SSTP). Twenty-four states representing more than 33 percent of the nation’s population have adopted the simplification measures set forth in the SSUTA by passing legislation that conforms to the agreement.</p>
<p>Under the SSUTA, member states are allowed to require remote sellers to collect and remit sales-and-use taxes after 90 days. The legislation exempts sellers who make less than $1 million in total remote sales in the year preceding the sale; they qualify for an exemption and would not be required to collect the tax.</p>
<p>States that do not want to become SSUTA members would only be allowed to collect sales and use taxes on out-of-state transactions if they adopted certain minimum simplification requirements and if they provided sellers with additional notices on the collection requirements, which are similar to but less comprehensive than SSUTA member conditions.</p>
<p><em><strong>Sales And Use Tax History</strong></em></p>
<p>The legislation’s history dates back more than four decades. Under the structure of state taxation, sales and use taxes are imposed on the consumer. The obligation on the seller, if any, is to collect and remit the tax. While the sales tax is the component collected by a seller on a transaction occurring within the state, the use tax is essentially a fictional component created to capture the tax made on out-of-state sales. </p>
<p>The purchaser is obligated to pay the use tax on any goods or services bought out of state and used in the state. Theoretically, the purchaser is always obligated to pay either the sales tax or the use tax. But few purchasers voluntarily pay the use tax and it is impossible to enforce compliance on a purchaser-by-purchaser basis. </p>
<p>A state can force a seller to collect sales tax since it has jurisdiction over the seller and can use leverage—such as the seizure of assets—to force compliance. If the seller has a facility in the state, the question of jurisdiction is easily resolved. In the case of an out-of-state seller, determining whether the seller has sufficient contact with a state to warrant collecting use tax from an in-state purchaser  has been disputed long before the Internet became a marketplace.</p>
<p><em><strong>In-State Presence</strong></em></p>
<p>In National Bellas Hess v. Illinois Department of Revenue (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that states could not collect a sales or use tax from a firm that did not maintain a retail outlet within the state&#8217;s boundaries. In legal parlance, the company had to have &#8220;nexus,&#8221; or a connection with the state, upon which the state could claim jurisdiction.</p>
<p>In 1992, the Supreme Court decided the Quill Corp. v. North Dakota case involving a North Dakota statute drafted to specifically circumvent National Bellas Hess case. The North Dakota statute was drafted to define nexus to include “regular or systematic solicitation of a consumer market.” Regulations further defined this as three or more advertisements within a 12-month period. </p>
<p>Justice Stevens, speaking for the Supreme Court, said: “We do not share [North Dakota’s] conclusion that the ruling of Bellas Hess is no longer good law.” The Supreme Court, however, did make an observation that is essential to understanding the significance of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project agreement and possible federal legislation on nexus: “Our decision is made easier by the fact that the underlying issue is not only one that Congress may be better qualified to resolve, but also one that Congress has the ultimate power to resolve. No matter how we evaluate the burdens that use taxes impose on interstate commerce, Congress remains free to disagree with our conclusions.”</p>
<p>The Marketplace Fairness Act is the proponents’ answer to this suggestion.<br />
The following states have passed legislation to conform to the SSUTA:<br />
Arkansas; Georgia; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Kentucky; Michigan; Minnesota; Nebraska;<br />
Nevada; New Jersey; North Carolina; North Dakota; Ohio; Oklahoma; Rhode Island;<br />
South Dakota; Tennessee; Utah; Vermont; Washington; West Virginia; Wisconsin; Wyoming </p>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever forgotten a loved one&#8217;s birthday? Forget a to buy a gift, card, or anything to a]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever forgotten a loved one&#8217;s birthday? Forget a to buy a gift, card, or anything to acknowledge that you&#8217;re thinking about them on their day? They get pretty mad, don&#8217;t they? They may not tell you, but inside they&#8217;re burning up! Have you had this happen to you? I think we all have. It&#8217;s not a nice feeling, to be forgotten.</p>
<p>We may not feel this way when a business doesn&#8217;t give us a small token on our special days. But when we do receive something, it practically makes our day, doesn&#8217;t it? Every year, <a class="zem_slink" title="Toys &#34;R&#34; Us" href="http://www.toysrus.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Toys R Us</a> sends us $3.00 off coupons for our kids birthdays. My kids are really excited to receive this cool little token. Which is great from a major corporation.</p>
<p>Your small business can make your customers feel the same way. Start by gathering a database of birthdays, anniversaries, whatever you&#8217;d like to commemorate with a promotional product. Once you have a good start of dates, put them on a calendar and set a reminder to send out a small token a week before the big day. It can be something small, like a <a href="http://www.homegrownpromos.com/cheap-custom-pens-pencils-notepads.cfm" target="_blank">custom pen</a> to something larger, like a <a href="http://www.homegrownpromos.com/custom-mugs-personalized-cups.cfm" target="_blank">printed mug</a> or <a href="http://www.homegrownpromos.com/custom-candy-mints-gift-baskets.cfm" target="_blank">custom chocolates</a>. One of our favorite ideas, for restaurants particularly, is to send out a birthday or anniversary <a href="http://www.homegrownpromos.com/item_choose.cfm?listing=QuickSearch&#38;strip=0&#38;ClearListOrder=true" target="_blank">gift card</a>, only valid on their special days to visit your establishment. Offering a free desert or appetizer to draw in the birthday celebration will encourage your other diners to visit on their birthdays or anniversaries as well!</p>
<p>For most businesses, we recommend that you send a practical promotional product to your customers from your business. Customers constantly receive offers to visit a business in the mail, and we want to differentiate your business from the rest of the clutter in the mailbox. if you mail your customers something that intrigues them to open your envelope, they will instantly appreciate your small token of generosity.</p>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.homegrownpromos.com" target="_blank">www.homegrownpromos.com</a> for some great ideas on sending your customer great birthday or anniversary wishes!</p>
