Send Your Tagline To The Beach
With the way things are going in the economy it is imperative you get your message out to your potential customers. As we approach Spring and Summer that means giving your message a vacation. Promotional totes are usually inexpensive and are almost always kept for use by customers.
The Leeds Smartt Deluxe Carry-All Tote is available at a reasonable price and is very versatile at just under nine dollars. This particular tote continues the trend of mixed messenger bag and sling tote usage in 2008. By having a multiple use handle these totes can be marketed with multi-functions which makes them more valuable as a promotional item. Yes the spelling is correct - for whatever reason this was the name given to this product.
Stepping down the price scale the Leeds Saturn Sling is available for under five dollars and is available in a series of attractive colors that match many logos. This is a smaller bag which will not carry as much in terms of items but it is at a great price point and again the color availability alone make it very popular.
Crossing the line back to larger bags the Leeds Excursion Cargo Messenger Bag is certainly more expensive but is huge compared to the previous two. This particular bag also has a watter bottle pocket and large comfortable shoulder strap while maintaining handles for carrying as a traditional bag. This is a new item which we expect to do quite well. It is hindered a little by the lack of colors but that flexibility can be achieved through creative printing of the logo.
The Leeds Slant Messenger will not appeal to everyone as it is decorated with vivid colors. It does serve the purpose of getting the message out and at a very moderate price point. Like the other bags discussed so far this messenger has both hand carrying handles and a shoulder strap that is adjustable. This bag takes it a step further by having a padded haul handle making it even more comfortable.
Switching it up we move to the Gemline Emerge Messenger Bag which is also brand new on the market. We really like this bag as the color schemes are attractive and the price makes the bag affordable to a large audience. The bag has neat lines, a water pocket and can help protect your MP3 player by allowing for headphone passage through the built in port.
Last but not least we head to a more executive type bag in the Leeds Incline Urban Messenger Bag which is definitely geared more towards the casual business user. The front pocket is great for holding your PDA or other digital device while keeping it protected. This bag also offers the headphone port and Velcro closure to keep all of you valuable electronics secure.
All of these bags are available blank or with custom logos. Obviously if you are looking to promote your brand you will want to get your logo or tag line printed on each bag. Space permitting it is always an excellent idea to get your web address or phone number in the message. We generally recommend against incorporating your email address for privacy reasons although some customers still prefer to use email over the web address. Each year new options become available and as they do the quality continues to increase to the point that the bags available in the commercial market are of the same or higher quality to what you would see in the stores. Remember, your message is only as good as the item it is printed on. Spending the extra dollar or two for a quality item goes a long way with your customer.
