Recycled And Tested Safe Drinkware

One of the concerns we continue to have is the safety products in the marketplace.  With so many of the products now originating overseas and with the frequency of negative news stories surrounding various contaminants being present in product it is nice to be able to offer items we can trust.  The Aladdin Ecycle Tumbler is one of the first recycled items we are aware of that meets many or most of the FDA requirements for food safety and containers.  As it comes from one of the largest and most respected brand names and suppliers we feel confident offering it to our clients. 

Aladdin also makes a series of other nifty promotional items including the Aladdin Chill & Go which makes a great gift for the fitness enthusiast.   It is capable of keeping your food cold for up to four hours which realistically is enough for most uses.  Certainly when the size and convenience of this item is considered it is one of the best values running.  Like all of our Aladdin items we offer it at a fantastic price which typically includes setup and shipping.  Aladdin also makes the Aladdin Heat N Go which keeps your food hot versus cold.  It’s slightly more expensive than the chill version but it is great for any season as it does keep food warm for a couple of hours.  At around $12 delivered in high quantities it is reasonably priced when compared to similar items.   The dual role Aladdin Snack & Go is great for carrying multiple varieties of contents at one time.  The Snack & Go is also the lowest priced item of the group coming in around $5.45 with imprint at high quantities.   All of these items are high quality brand names that carry your logo well.   Stanley also offers a heated product, the Stanley Heatkeeper which carries the classic lines of the Stanley line but is a little more bulky.

As the price of brand name goods continues to drop we expect to see an increasing number in the corporate channel.  Of some concern lately are the number of dual purpose suppliers which also have distributor arms, most of which are unknown to the larger distributor base.   We have some reservations about offering their items as although they are pledged to not violate the principles within the industry – suppliers are just suppliers and do not compete against distributors – we have seen from many other corporations in the recent past a deviating moral compass.  It is difficult to envision it ever happening but many would have said the same things about Bear Stearns or Enron.  In short large organizations do what it takes to survive sometimes at the expense of those that trusted the.   Chiefly this is why we stick to a core group of trusted vendors but market conditions dictate we offer a larger range of products.   In doing so like many distributors before us we end up doing business with companies that some day may compete against us.   This is part of the reason we are aggressively opening direct importing channels in 2008.

 Over the next few days we expect to announce an unprecedented promotion which will likely be announced here first.
