ASB Celebrates Promotional Products Work! Day

PPAI has designated August 24, 2023, as Promotional Products Work! Day. Throughout the day, PPAI, together with its members and other industry professionals, will actively recognize and promote the value, impact and effectiveness of promotional products — the most memorable form of advertising. Below are members of the American family showcasing their favorite promotional items, as well as explaining why they hold it so dear to their hearts!

“This bistro mug was given to my older daughter by her boyfriend when she was in 9th grade. He worked for the company branded on it. She is 41 now. The boyfriend is long gone but the mug endures. We use it all the time.”

Amy Kovach | Sales Associate

“I drink a lot of water throughout the day. This Intrepid Stainless Tumbler keeps my drinks cold all day and has amazing capacity so I don’t have to refill frequently. Big fan!”

Chip Brady | Sales Associate

“EXCITEMENT! That is what drives me to deliver for my clients. I created my own twist on the American Logo to help identify myself in the Boating World. I love American and I love the Sea, so from that The American Pirate was born. The photo shows the 3 Amigos ( my nickname for my two sons and me).  We often wear the same brand gear. The rule is the brand on the hat must match the shirt!”

Chris Stevens | Sales Associate

“Shine Bright with Compass’s Electric Lighter! This mystical little gadget conjures up wonderful surprises! Bewitching and enchanting, this dazzling sparkler casts a spell of excitement, igniting lively chit-chat as if by magic. Remarkably versatile, it magically ignites candles, stands bravely as a trusted safety knight (mind you, those sparks do bite!) It’s spellbindingly spectacular and a dazzling promotional product!”

Danielle Lum | Sales Associate

“This computer backpack from OGIO has been the biggest champ. I’ve used it consistently since 2016 and I’m silently waiting for it to bust but I’m happily disappointed – still kicking!  I have all my tech in there, and when I travel, I pretend it’s a carryon as well. Amazing product!!! Can’t say enough good things.”

Diana Libster | Sales Associate

“I’m picking the Stanley style tumblers because they have been hot sellers for me! They hold a whopping 40 oz. yet still fit in a car cup holder, which is what people love about them. My stores keystone them and their customers are thrilled because they’re getting a great deal, so it’s a win for everyone. I’ve sold thousands this year and the train isn’t slowing down. Thanks to all the vendors who are providing them!”

Jan Barrett | Sales Associate

“Murphy and I really like this 20 oz. Joe tumbler from Gordon Sinclair. Why? The owners sees our brand first thing in the morning! This tumbler keeps beverages hot or cold for a long time, has a screw-on lid that prevents leaking and is powder coated. When laser etched, our branding lasts a long time, even when washed in the dishwasher.”

Jim Fennell | Sales Associate

“This reliable power bank has been keeping me charged up throughout an entire wedding. No worries about missing a moment or running out of battery here.”

Jodi McGinty | Home Office

“LIP BALM! I am a total unapologetic lip balm addict. Have several on my desk, in the car, in my golf bag – everywhere! It makes for great promo because it’s always the right size, easy on the budget, highly brandable, and comes in flavors for anyone to enjoy.”

Kari Fleck Gutstein | Sales Associate

“At my very first ASB Summit in Park City, we received the Aurora Eco-Nation plush with a bandana that read: “Glad you’re part of our pack!” I loved the sustainability factor, and the room drop experience was so special and unique. I felt so proud to be welcomed into the pack of our family at ASB. My dad and I took a selfie to send to our family, and I shared this on social media at the event. This wolf stayed in my office for a few years because of the impact, and he is just so cute! Two years later, as we got ready for Summit 2023, Ellie is still enjoying the wolf toy, and it makes me smile every time I see her play with it.”

Katie Kahler | Sales Associate

“As a busy mom, I LOVE my cross-body bag & 40oz tumbler. By using my belt bag from HIT Promo, I am able to quickly access my belongings while keeping two hands free to hold the kiddos, walk the dog, pay for the zoo admission, etc. And my 40oz tumbler from Phenix Direct fits perfectly in my car while keeping me hydrated all day. 

I am constantly recommending these 2 products to my valued clients because they are high-use gifts, which means more impressions for my client’s brand.”

Kim Hamlin | Sales Associate

“Although designed for people, we’re using this HPG snack bag for dog treats when we bring our pup to our local brewery.”

Kim Smith | Home Office

“ASB’s Branded box is by far the best marketing tool I have ever seen! Every person I showed the box to was blown away by what the promo industry could do. It gave me confidence, secured one of my biggest clients, created multiple leads and helped me engage with everyone on the 4th. Bonus, the products are already in inventory and make selling a breeze!”

Laura Sahli | Sales Associate

“I love my Terry Town towel that we got at this year’s ASB Conference in Nashville. It is SO soft and it dries me off really well after the pool or beach (or a nice day tubing on the river!). It’s also really big so I can comfortably lay out on it – with plenty of sunscreen, of course! The decoration turned out beautifully and the quality of the towel is really plush. I’ve been using it all summer!”

Lauren Kovach | Sales Associate

“The best can and bottle cooler on the market! It fits the regular 12 oz. cans,  12 oz. slim cans and tall boy 16 oz. cans, along with 12 oz. bottles. It will also work as a tumbler if you would rather have a cocktail. It’s one of the best promos for golf tournaments. Everyone needs to be showing this one.”

Mark Ewing | Sales Associate

“I love functional and stylish apparel! Knoss has been such a great brand to take to my clients with their unique features like waterproofing!”

Matt Penton | Sales Associate

“Whether I am sitting poolside or hanging with my buddies, I love this metal triple vacuum tumbler from Koozie. It keeps my beverage of choice ice-cold down to the last drop (even in the 115-degree summer heat of Arizona). You can also drop in the spill-resistant lid, and it becomes a handy tumbler to keep your coffee warm. I have had this item for 3 or 4 years and it still looks/works as well as it did the day I got it!”

Mike Kahler | Sales Associate

“This branded crossbody bag was gifted to me from ASB when we had our son. It has been very convenient to have all my things easily accessible and the hands-free carrying is a must! There is plenty of room for my wallet, keys, phone and even a spare diaper and wipes.”

Nicole Vosberg | Home Office

“Love my Perka mug I received from American as a gift. Love the matte look and the cork base protects from scratches. I use this everywhere I go – from outings and grandkids games to family trips.”

Paula Kuder | Home Office

“The Outdoor Cap hat represents the incredible freedoms and opportunities available to us in the great country.

The Summit branded tumbler from The Magnet Group represents years of hard work paying off for me.

The sunset represents quality time that I have been able to spend with my family courtesy of the relationship with ASB.

While these aren’t exactly self promos, I do try to incorporate these same emotions with the self promos I supply for my clients.”

Rod Kuncaitis | Sales Associate

“Silly pictures are fun! Most importantly the brand is in the picture every-time you send it, post it, share it etc.! The branding inspires remembrance of a fun moment, with the constant reminder of who provided that and it gets passed on with an indirect referral!”

Shelley Weihs | Sales Associate

“This OGIO backpack is my favorite because it keeps me organized while I’m on the road or in the air! It’s the perfect promotional product when you’re traveling because the logo is Always Visible when you’re wearing it! The Tekweld water bottle is my 2nd favorite promo product because it is light and keeps me hydrated.”

Susan Caudillo | Sales Associate

“My favorite promotional product is my American mug. It keeps my coffee hot for a long time. It’s a great marketing tool because if I take it anywhere, I get asked where I got it from.”

Tammy Strand | Home Office
