March's Product of the Month: 1 GB Folding USB 2.0 Drive

It seems like only yesterday that I was popping a 5 1/4" floppy disk into an Apple IIe to play Oregon Trail at school.  The evolution from a 5 1/4" floppy to 3.5" floppy (that was actually hard) to Zip Disks to CDs to DVDs and now USB drives seems to have come at warp speed.  Oh yeah and let's not forget compact flash, SD, xD, MMC and the memory stick.  Wow, it's amazing that consumers can figure out what the heck is going on!  So let's forget all that and talk about this month's Promotional Product.  This handy-dandy 1 GB USB 2.0 is something totally functional that your Clients will love.

An Alternative for the Not-so-Artsy people...

While embroidery is our primary service (it is in our name after all), we offer many other embellishing methods for all sorts of products for all types of events.  Some methods work better in certain situations and embroidery is not always the best solution for all purposes.  For this post, I'd like to feature our Easyprints system which are screen  printed transfers that are great for those of us who need a small run of shirts and don't want to mess around with coming up with a design from scratch.  With the Easyprints system, Customers can choose from a plethora of templates for any event or sports ranging from work wear to basketball to reunions.  Just choose a template you like and change the text and graphics to suit your needs.  No more killing your brain cells thinking about your design layout.  Choose it, Change it, Wear it!  No setup fees.  The minimum order is only 10 pieces and you can get an awesome one-color printed tee for only $16.00 each!  Turnaround time is 2 weeks.  For more information, click here.

February's Product of the Month: Exercise Mat

With the New Year comes those new resolutions which undoubtedly for most people will include getting fit.  What better way to make sure they are reminded of your brand than to place your logo on a fitness bag!  Sure, you could pay $3 million for a Super Bowl ad but I think that's a little more risky.  Besides, I read somewhere that the Super Bowl ads are already sold out.  Let the big boys have their talking babies and frogs, geckos or whatever.  Make sure the next time your top clients are doing push ups, warrior poses or downward dogs that your brand will be front and center.

January's Promotional Product of the Month!

Okay, I have to admit that I've been extremely bad at posting a Promotional Product of the Month every month.  In fact, the last product I posted was in December....of 2009 that is!  So I think we're due for one.  With all the downpour in Hawaii we've had in the last couple of weeks, what could be better than a custom imprinted umbrella!  With it huge 60" arch, people will be sure to see your logo as long as you don't poke them in the eye with it.

Record Highs for Cotton Prices

The price of gold isn't the only thing skyrocketing these days.  According to our suppliers, cotton prices are at record highs and aren't expected to come down anytime soon.  Prices for t-shirts, sport shirts and fleece from the largest manufacturers including Hanes, Gildan and Jerzees will increase 5-10% starting in November.

What does this mean for Threads and our Customers?

It means that we'll have to shell out a lot more dough for our cost of goods; however we will do our best to maintain our current pricing to you for as long as we can.  We will also promise to continue to offer excellent customer service and exceptional quality...two things that we can control.  Thanks for your continued support!
