Many times decisions on promotional products are made on the spur of the moment and with little forethought. Grab a thousand pens with our names on it and possibly a few yard signs (which really do not even fall into the category of promotional products).
Well my hat is off to Pentair and AquaFlow Inc. They have selected what to me may be the best promo product I have received in recent years. Drillers looking to promote their business might be wise to study what the big guys are doing. Attending trade shows and conventions can be very helpful in determining a strategy to increase the name recognition of your business. Shirts, of course, are popular. Pens are still widely used, though I would add that I think pens are near useless. When was the last time you read a pen?
