I just flew in from China and boy are my arms tired!
I want to reconnect as I have been in China over the last 10 days visiting 7 different factories and attending 2 major trade shows in China. I want to let you in on what’s new and what’s happening in the world of promotional products. Or as I like to say… Welcome to China!

We go to China so you don’t have to!
Maybe you think you want to go to China to find the latest and greatest in factory direct promotional swag for your clients? However, as I come to the end of my 30th or so trip to the Middle Kingdom, I would like to reflect on what it takes to really do China properly and how tough it is doing business with a country the same size as the USA and with 6 times the population!
Aside from the problems in dealing with a population of over 100 million crammed into an area the size of Florida (the cities of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Guangzhou), there are a huge number of oddities unique to China to deal with. On this trip, the funniest one I came across was on a taxi trip.
In China a bad YELP review can cost you your life!
I was in a taxi in Shenzhen when the driver got a phone call. He pulled to a complete stop in the middle of 10 lanes of traffic and got out of the car to talk/yell on the phone for 8 minutes. Turns out the previous customer had forgotten his jacket in the cab and was threatening to leave a bad YELP review (Chinese Yelp) and in China a bad review will put you out of business (apparently).
After 8 minutes of the driver dodging traffic and yelling at the previous customer someone ran up to the taxi (the previous customer) and retrieved the jacket. The driver then got back in and off we went. Welcome to China.
The first new idea we came across is….
The reason I go to China as often as I do is to find new factory direct promotional ideas. I do this in a number of ways.
First, I walk two huge trade shows, one in Hong Kong and one in Shenzhen. Each day I walked just under 9 miles (as witnessed by my phone app).
I also visit a bunch of factories looking for ideas that no one else has. My goal is simple: find eye-catching products that are logo-viable.
The coolest new idea I saw is a collection of toasters and waffle irons that not only have the clients logo on them but can toast the logo onto the bread. These are very, very cool!

The second coolest new idea is….
Generally speaking, we don’t do bags. I usually find them way too boring and less than innovative. In my world I see many bag examples with crappy hardware, zippers and fabrics – all designed to come in at a price point that makes it “bound to fail”.
However, this collection of backpacks was so awesome we just had to get them into the line-up. What do you think? Email me and let me know!

The Art of the Deal… Chinese style!
The Trumpster has nothing on the Chinese. In fact, negotiating with the Chinese can either lead you to pull out your hair or capitulate to the deal. The following video snippet is of my factory manager and a new supplier haggling over the price and delivery of a new item.
This stellar deal making went on for about 25 minutes. In the end the price changed 4 cents! A win by Chinese standards!
Cool new idea #3 is…
The Sip Flip is a collection of folding and collapsible silicone water bottles, cups and coffee mugs. I LOVE this idea as it is eco-friendly, reusable and very eye-catching.

Breakfast…the most important meal of the day, except in China!
I am sure we all can agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I love a great cup or four of coffee accompanied by a steaming bowl of oatmeal, fruit salad or perhaps a nice muffin, hot out of the oven. If this is your idea of a great way to start the day, then you are out of luck when visiting China.
China, world-renowned for great cuisine has somehow missed the boat when it comes to breakfast.
The most popular breakfast dish in China is this awful combination of chicken broth, macaroni noodles and sliced process ham. Yum… (uggh).

It was SO BAD I went to McDonalds!
The ‘western-style breakfast’ in China is so bad I actually went to McDonalds! Now you would think that a McDonalds here or a McDonalds there would all be the same wouldn’t you?
Not so fast! The following is the ‘happy go lucky McDonalds employee’ handing me my stone-cold egg McMuffin. My best advice if looking for breakfast while in China… go straight to lunch.

Cool new promo idea #4 is….
Puzzled by this? So was I… but after thinking it over, I know this could be huge.
There is a large movement in promo (and in life) to move away from digital ideas and towards more “analog” ideas. I see this where I live in the cafes that have a board game theme. In last year’s fidget spinner craze and in the trending ideas on social media that ask us all to “unplug.”
As we have a long history of doing custom shaped promos such as power banks, flash drives and others, the idea of making a custom shaped foam core puzzle in the shape of your clients product is very familiar.
Think of the idea below as a great example. (i.e.) The local Caterpillar dealer gets you to have us make one of their diggers done in a 3D puzzle complete with their logo on it. The end-user/recipient spends an hour “unplugged” making the puzzle and at the same time staring at the customers logo. Brilliant!

There is always that one weird idea that you find…
I really dig deep when I go to the shows and factories. I turn over every leaf and basket looking for new ideas to put your client’s logo on. This one was proudly displayed in the housewares section of the show. This makes me wonder what the rest of their house looks like?
I am also concerned on this one… where does the logo go?

New ideas are the lifeblood of the promotional products industry. End-users from all over the country are looking for new ideas from their distributors and Promo Motive is the SUPPLIER of these new ideas to Distributors.
In every business it easy to get in a rut. However, if you are a promo Distributor, getting in a product rut is a very bad idea. It is very common for Distributors to continue to go to the same old Supplier well and promote the same old Supplier ideas. Promo Motive is a supplier who does it differently. We concentrate on NEW ideas ONLY!
“Promo Motive: the Supplier Who Does Weird Well!”
New Idea #1 – Last Straw: the folding reusable drinking straw
https://promocrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Logoheader1800x130.jpg00adminhttps://promocrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Logoheader1800x130.jpgadmin2018-09-24 16:30:072018-09-24 16:30:13New Ideas are the Lifeblood of the Promo Industry
We believe that only using ASI or PPAI search for your business is a bad idea.
Here’s why!
We have been a supplier for 20 years and there are some secrets about ASI that most distributors don’t know. It is important to know so you can make more sales and make more money.
Here are a few key things you need to be aware of.
#1 – When you see ANY search result it is PAID to be placed there by the supplier
When using product searches on ASI or PPAI you may not be seeing the best, most popular or most innovative products at all. You are simply seeing what was paid to be seen!
Suppliers pay on average 60K a year for product placement. A few years ago I bought half of 1 day a week’s banner. It cost $1500 PER DAY!
#2 – The average age of end users is 35 while the average ASI distributor age is 57
There is a disconnect in the age gap that is most apparent if Distributors ONLY use ASI and PPAI search.
As a supplier, every day I get inquiries from Distributors looking for “something their client found online!” The end user wants something unique and unusual. They don’t always want the same thing, again… and again. You need to look elsewhere!
#3 – If you only use ASI and PPAI search, what advantage do you have over your competitor?
It may seem obvious, but if you and the Distributor down the street get the same inquiry for the same general product what advantage do you have? Isn’t it then only down to price?
In the internet age, Distributors need an advantage to beat out their biggest competitor: the end user!
If you keep presenting the same old ideas as your competitor down the street you will continue to encourage the end user (remember they are 35 and web-savvy) to buy online and NOT from you.
“It’s time to think differently!”
What do YOU think?
Does this make sense to you? Is this intriguing? Is this an idea you want to explore? Join the many hundreds of other innovative forward thinking Distributors who are looking for something different.

Who is the IDIOT that paid $35 for a folding drinking straw?
That idiot would be me!
There are a few folding reusable stainless steel drinking straws on the market including LAST STRAW, the stainless steel, food-safe, collapsible, reusable straw specifically designed for the promotional products distributor.
We decided to test all of them… including this one… which came in at an astounding $34.50 for ONE SINGLE STRAW ($14.50 for shipping!). The delivery of my single $35 straw is not expected until NOVEMBER!

We are the Factory and the Supplier. We ONLY sell to DISTRIBUTORS! We know what we are doing!
We only deal with distributors and have for years. We know what we are doing and we know what you need!
We do work a little differently.
We have people on the ground in the factories in China and they dig around looking for the best products (not the cheapest) that can be delivered quickly, have great logo capabilities and are tested and meet all safety standards. Often they are from the same factory where the brand name one is being made. Are we smarter? Nope… (after all, we did buy a $35 straw!). It’s just that we source and buy a whole lot smarter!
We have built a business model based on sourcing and selling the trends, bringing in everything by air in as little as a week and reducing costs so we can pass savings on to you, the distributor. As we like to say:
“We Do Weird Well!

How to sell the Folding Reusable Drinking Straw.
If you think that selling a $5 net drinking straw is a tough sell think again!
“The selling points on the folding straw is not all about the function of it, it’s about the emotional appeal of it!”
First point:
This all started with a Turtle video. The storyline is simple: ecologists and scientists working in Costa Rica come across a Turtle in distress. They pull it aboard and find a plastic straw stuck in its nose. WARNING: Video has disturbing images.
Second Point:
After over 30 million views of the video and a greater understanding of how billions of plastic straws were ending up in the oceans and staying undegradable for up to 5000 years, cities and countries banned the sale and use of disposable plastic straws.
Read about cities and companies banning straws including McDonalds!
To read the articles simply click on the links below.
It’s not about why would anyone pay $10 for a straw, but more importantly it’s about what it says about a brand to have their logo on a folding reuseable drinking straw.
Your client’s logo on a LAST STRAW says to the world that the client cares about the environment, is on top of the latest trends and lastly, but not least, they want to be seen as helping solve a recognized world problem and being a part of the solution!
Some Distributors say that “No One Will Use It!”
These distributors may be sort of right but at the same time COMPLETELY WRONG! Many people may not use it but millions will buy it!
The Last Straw folding reusable drinking straw will be a massive marketing statement for your clients. It will say to the world that they are an eco-friendly, trend-setting company. Who wouldn’t want to be this?

The folding reusable drinking straw has caught on like wildfire in the promo swag world!
The folding reusable drinking straw called the LAST STRAW has set new records for inquiries and sales in the promotional product world.
It seems that the promo and b2b marketing worlds are ready to embrace the eco alternative to the 1 time use plastic drinking straw. The best alternative for a folding reusable straw to get a logo on is Promo Motive‘s Last Straw.
Promotional Distributors from across the globe are flocking to this product for their clients’ logo to be put on. Corporate logos from Starbucks to Toyota and across the spectrum are embracing the folding straw as the next big thing.
This is likely a result of several major developments in cities and countries across the globe, many of which are now banning all plastic drinking straws. Cities such as Seattle and Vancouver have outright stopped the use of all 1 time plastics. This means businesses who give away straws are scrambling to replace them with the reusable folding straw.

Orders are currently being taken and delivered in 2 weeks direct from the factory to your door. Logos are available in up to 3 colors. Minimum orders start at 250 units and include FREE shipping and FREE set up.
