Promotional Gifts

Every time the Christmas season comes, I am always delighted to see many goodies given for FREE. It is only during this time that many promotional gifts are being given by companies to their loyal clients and suppliers. I am always excited to receive free mugs, pens, umbrellas, t-shirts and so on with the company’s logo on it. Somehow it gave me a reason to collect such items.

Anyway, this is a good marketing strategy for businesses. It makes their brand name known and can contribute to the customer’s retention. Even while I was still working before; our company provide such items to our dealers. We gave out promotional umbrellas when it was rainy season. It keeps our clients thinking of us even while they are away from the branch. And when the annual assembly comes, dealers are really excited to get conference folders and envelopes. They like seeing the company’s logo and they felt like they belong.

In the United Kingdom, one of the sought after company in providing such promotional items are Click Promo Gifts. They have the widest range of exceptional and artistic business or corporate promotional gifts at a lower price. If you email or call them now, their designers can immediately add your logo at any of your chosen promotional items. So, if you want them to do such marketing strategy for your business, please visit them at www.clickpromogifts.co.uk. I believe that this would be a great investment for your company, it worked with me and I am sure it will work for you!

New Name and Some Updates!

If you have noticed, I have changed my blog’s name once again. From Digital Life Scraps, its now “Life and Scraps!” I have removed the word digital since I felt that it doesn’t fit the look and theme of my blog.

With the change, I also decided to have a new header. Unfortunately, it’s quite simple since my other digital scrapping embellishments are stored at my desktop. By the way, for those who haven’t heard the news, I am accessing my blog using my new laptop and now currently using a mobile internet access. Aside from that, I am now using PhotoShop CS3 in which like the previous software, I am not yet that familiar.

So, with all the new things happening in my blogging life, I decided to make several changes in all my blogs. One of those is being quite most of the time. Hehehe… I have limited access that is why my updates are a bit slower compared to the slowness I have before. Anyway, I will try to update as much as I can but for now, I will try to have a once or twice a week post.

Gotta go now, I am sleepy already and my load is running low. I have no funds just yet. Poor me!

Send Funny Ecards

When a special occasion comes up, I usually do a personalized digital scrap as a way to greet my family and friends. Unfortunately, there are some instances that I could not have the pleasure of doing one because of limited time. So, another personalized alternative that I usually send are ecards. It’s fast, simple, reliable and sometimes FREE!!

One of the most famous ecard sites that I love to visit is VidiGreet.com. You can send your crazy friends with a more mature inspired funny ecards. These ecards are in a form of videos wherein you can also add your very own personal message. Sometimes you can find hilarious adult e cards. They are not that overbearing but generally for matured audience only.

Anyway, I sometimes find sending naughty ecards to few of my co-employees from my previous job. I thought of sending them these ecards would make them smile from their stressful routines at work. Sometimes, if I find something cute, romantic and funny, I send my husband with it just to get the message across. Being far from him, it’s really hard to communicate how you feel. So sending few ecards could really make wonders. It reminds him that I exist. Hehehe…

So, are you up for some funny ecards? Send a few to friends and family. You might brighten up their gloomy day!

Planning for Business School

I’ve always wanted to start my own business; however, being a Civil Engineering graduate I felt I’m not properly trained to manage one.

Taking a business course came to my kind, but due to my busy schedule I cannot find time to get into the traditional classroom. Good thing I came across Nouveau University.

I think this is the solution I’m looking for, not only they provide sound education, but also Noveau University has impressive faculty members.

Dr. Noone is a renowned leader in academic excellence and has over 17 years of experience in higher education management.

An Online Buyer’s Guide

Shopping online has never been easy especially with the advent of ShopWiki’s website platform. Its uses a search engine like system but with a plus. It only shows the item you want to buy in a very detailed manner. You can view the result by brand, color, size and from where it’s available.

The good thing about ShopWiki is the buyer’s guide they have. We all know that buying online means you will not be able to see the item so you need a guide to help you decide and make the right choice. When I was checking out some baby and toddler items, I really admired how good and helpful their buyer’s guides are. Several of those that I have read is on strollers buying guide, activity sets and play yards buying guide and the infant and toddler clothing buying guide. It was easy to understand and can really help you see the picture on what you are intentionally buying.

So, if need help on buying online, visit www.ShopWiki.com. They have tons of guides that can help you on your online shopping!
