Polycarbonate Bottle Mistake - Live and Learn!

Posted on Sunday, August 1, 2010 in Drinkware, Promotional Products Marketing, promotional products

I believe in drinking plenty of water to help ward off illness so I use several polycarbonate water bottles throughout a day at work.  These promotional water bottles are great because they are odor-free, don’t taste like plastic, and they are BPA FREE.  However, I learned something very interesting about these water bottles today.  I finished off a bottle and left it in my car while I was at my office.  You have to know that my office is in Shalimar Florida and the end of July is about the hottest time of the year.  Temperatures in my car register around 109 degrees sometimes according to the in dash thermometer.  When I left my office today, I found my polycarbonate water bottle about half it’s normal size.  It had melted and shriveled up.  So lesson learned…don’t leave your water bottles in a hot car.  Below is the picture of the melted promotional water bottle that I placed beside an exact style for comparison of just how much this bottle shrank from the heat.

Fun in the Sun

Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 in Uncategorized

We are now in the heat of the summer and there’s no better place to be than the beach, particularly the prettiest beaches in Florida.  Since I have the pleasure of living in Fort Walton Beach / Destin, Florida area, I spend a lot of time outdoors and at the beach.  Outdoor beach activities are not only fun, but also provide exercise for us.  Here are some excellent products that your business can giveaway with your promotional logo imprint on them.  Promotional frisbees are a classic beach toy that both kids and adult love.  Why not let others throw around your logo and advertise your company to hundreds of people.  Promotional water bottles are also not only a great beach item, but a necessity to have in the summer heat.  It’s easy to lose a lot of fluids while you are swimming in the ocean and not even realize it since you are staying cool in the water.   So, if you really want to be smart with buying your promotional give aways, look into buying beach promotional items that will provide hours and hours of entertainment while marketing your company at the same time.  Keep on marketing.  I’m off to enjoy the beautiful beaches in Fort Walton Beach!
