Killer Gas Prices – Try Promotional Tire Gauges
With gas at over $4.00 a gallon, all industries and individuals are feeling the crunch in their wallet. We can’t really do anything on an individual basis to lower the price of gas; however, we can each do our part to save gas. Studies show that under-inflated tires cause any vehicle to use more gas. More specifically, automobiles use up to 10% more gas with improperly inflated tires. That translates to about 2 gallons of gas with each fill up. So at $4.00 a gallon, I’m talking about $8.00 every week or so. I, myself, would rather save that eight bucks and spend it on something fun.
Promotional Tire Gauges are a great promotional itemto help your clients save gas. You will also be doing your part to help the Earth and be Eco-Friendly. Accutire brand Tire Gauges are good high quality products that gives you accurate readings and last for years. You can keep your business logo in front of your customer for years. Choose from the Standard Chrome Tire Gauge, a Pistol Grip Digital Tire Gauge, a Key Chain Tire Gauge, or a Mechanic’s Grade Tire Gauge. All will save you money if used regularly to monitor your tires and keep them properly inflated.

Football Fever Starts Early
The anticipation of football season is rapidly surging in the brains of millions of football fans. Although football season is still a couple of months away, it is never to early to get your Football spirit items for the stadium to support your favorite team.
Mini Footballs are always fan favorites to throw around the stadium. Choose from the Plastic Mini Football or Vinyl Mini Football. The plastic mini footballs are the most common due to it’s price point. These footballs are made of blow-molded plastic to retain their shape. The football is a soft, pliable plastic towards the middle of the fooball and more rigid toward the ends. The vinyl mini footballs are also very popular and are typically only $0.10-$0.20 more the plastic footballs. The vinyl footballs have an athletic valve so the shape is maintained by air and they are made of soft vinyl. These do come already inflated and ready for throwing at the stadium.
Thundersticks are also growing in popularity as the dominant noisemaker in the stadium. These are also known as Thunder Sticks, Thunderstix, bam bams or bambams, fan sticks, or fan-ta-sticks. All thundersticks are not created equal though. My favorite thunderstick is the type that has an athletic valve so that it can be deflated and re-inflated and resused game after game. Others such as bam bams, and thunderstix have to be inflated using a straw and they are one-time use items. These types of thunder sticks will only stay inflated for a couple of days after initial inflation.
Promotional Products are an excellent means of advertising and marketing while at the same time giving the fans spirit items to root on their favorite sports team. Show your team spirit by stocking up on Spirit Items today.

Promotional Sunscreen – What a Great Idea!
With the UV index topping the charts in the extreme range here in Florida, Promotional Sunscreen is the perfect promotional product to use as a giveaway for your business. Sunblock is a vital part of life in Florida for beach bums and very important for tourists alike. Promotional size sunscreens are convenient and a cheap way to promote your business. They are great for resorts, tanning salons, golf courses, theme parks, or any other beach business. There are several types of promo sunscreens to consider. One of my favorites is a facestick sunblock which is like a giant tube of lip balm which is sunscreen that easily applies to your face. This keeps your hands from getting overly greasy. This type of sun block offers a fast way to apply sunscreen to the face and is more likely to be used. Another type of promotional sunblock is lip balm with sunscreen in it. This is a type of sunscreen that is too often forgotten, but lips will burn. I know from past experience. Make sure and choose a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or 30. A really cool and different idea is lip balm on a leash, which offers a neoprene case for the lip balm with a clip on it so that the lip balm can be clipped on a beach bag. Maybe you want to get something different. Try the outdoor promotional sunscreen kit which includes a water-tight case along with some sunscreen and common over the counter meds. No matter what promotional sunscreen that you choose, know that you are helping to prevent excess agony to your customers, if they choose to time just a few minutes to apply the sunblock. I am a huge advocate of sunblock. Happy tanning and see you at the beach!
