We've hashed this topic out before: everyone loves a free t-shirt. The promotional product specialists at 4AllPromos concur that t-shirts are pretty much one of the best promotional products out there. Now, it's still a little too chilly to be sporting short sleeves; it is not too early to get your orders in for your spring events.

Here are the 4 reasons we think t-shirts are the perfect promotional product:

1. Color selection- T-shirts come in virtually any color of the rainbow to help compliment any promotion or special event that calls for a fun piece of apparel.

2. Quick turnaround- T-shirts can generally be received within two or three weeks of placing your order. So if you plan an event somewhat on the fly the t-shirts can be there quickly!

3. More imprint options- There is a lot of room to print or embroider your message on a t-shirt. Use the back, the front, the side or the sleeve. Also, print text, graphics or QR codes!

4. Great advertising- A t-shirt is an item that can be worn over and over again and for years and years. People treasure t-shirts as special mementos from certain special events in their lives. Chances are your t-shirt will be seen by hundreds and hundreds of people and virtually serve as a walking billboard.

So, what are you waiting for? Place your spring t-shirt orders today!

According to a recent Gallup poll 6 in 10 Americans own some type of pet. February is Responsible Pet Owners Month. Animal shelters, rescue organizations, veterinarian hospitals, pet shops and other pet related organizations should use the month of February to bring awareness to the responsibilities associated with owning a pet. Promotional products from 4AllPromos are the perfect way to promote animal related organizations and create a dialogue about responsible pet ownership.

There are 3 very important things you should do as a responsible pet owner:

1. Become educated. Before buying a pet do your research about what they need and what kinds of personalities they can have. Also, if you are getting a dog be sure to sign up for obedience classes. Dogs and owners both learn things from these kinds of classes. 

2. Feed them healthy food. Each pet has certain dietary needs. Avoid 'people' food because it can contribute to weight gain and may make the animal sick. 

3. Keep them fit. Pets, just like humans, need exercise. Some dog breeds may require up to an hour of exercise a day. Use your pet to help keep you fit too! 

Promotional products can help spread awareness in the community about the importance of caring properly for domesticated animals. It is a crime to neglect or harm an animal. Many animals have suffered neglect during these tough economic times as families struggle to keep their homes and feed themselves. 4AllPromos wants to help bring awareness to responsible pet ownership by encouraging animal organizations, businesses and non-profits to market this nationally recognized campaign with promotional products. 

Visit the 4AllPromos Pet Store to shop for pet bowls, food scoopers, leashes, collars, toys and other friendly pet giveaways all year round. Give pet owners a friendly reminder local animal related businesses and organizations with promotional magnets, key chains, pens, sports bottles or other simple custom imprinted products.

Promotional products are a great way to bring awareness to these important causes. Heart disease is the number one cause of death among Americans. So it is important to education our nation about the risks involved in poor eating, lack of exercise and smoking.

February 4th is Wear Red Day. Many workplaces and schools take part in this event by asking employees to wear red and make a donation to the American Heart Association to help support research and community programs.

It's something all of us tech geeks look forward to either attending or reading about all year. The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off today in Las Vegas showcasing some of the biggest (or smallest) trends on the horizon in the world of technology.

Microsoft, Apple, Samsung and Toshiba are just a few of the big names that make appearances during this 4-day expo. Yesterday, during the pre-show Justin Timberlake showed up to present a project he is collaborating  on with the folks at MySpace.

It's a good idea to tune into this conference to learn about what competitive technology is to be expected in the coming year. The new developments can help to lower prices of many existing products.

Here are some things to keep an eye out for this week at CES:

• Small, thin and portable: Thinner is better according to the technology wizards. Netbooks, tablets and laptops are all getting smaller and thinner as technology becomes more and more mobile. 
• Large and in 3-D: Television makers are breaking out the big guns and introducing improved 3-D television technology with more concentrated pixels. There is also an 84-inch TV that will be making it's debut (the largest television to date) 
• Organic TV?-It's true. Television makers are expected to start using OLED technology which uses an organic light-emitting diode to help conserve energy and the environment. 

It's also too early to tell what other hidden gems are expected to make their debut; but it's certain that cell phones and mobile phone companies will have some new products to unveil. 

4AllPromos is always keeping track on the latest and greatest technologies making waves so that we can complement the products with appropriate promotional products. We carry our own technological products including alarm clocks, pedometers and Mp3 players. We also have many carrying cases and laptop bags and backpacks that include holes for cords and headphones. 

If you are in the technology biz or want to show your customer's how cutting edge your company can be check out 4AllPromos.com for a large assortment of technology and tech related accessories. 

There are more than 15,000 products on 4AllPromos.com and it's hard for customer's and even us to keep  up with all of them. We like to use social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to highlight some of the new and exciting products we acquire throughout the year.

Tomorrow all the big Black Friday deals will be revealed as stores release their special holiday fliers for the brave holiday shoppers venturing out the Friday after Thanksgiving. Buyer beware as sometimes these Black Friday deals are not always the best deals of the year and some are not always as good as they seem on paper or in your e-mail.

In an effort to help our customer's shop smart during the holidays, we've compiled a list of some do's and don't of shopping on Black Friday.

DO:

• Make a list. Write down who you need to shop for an/or the exact items you are looking for. This type of tactic will keep  you on task and less distracting while fighting the crowds.
  
• Stick to a budget. Know what you have to spend and keep track of what you spend. This way there are no surprises or buyer remorse the next day.
  
• Pre-shop. Peruse the fliers in tomorrow's papers and sign up for e-mails from your favorite stores. You can make your list best after checking out the deals featured in the fliers and e-mails. These advertisements will also tip you off on what the hottest items of the season are. The ads may also help you plan out your method of attack when visiting multiple stores.
  
• Take advantage of Cyber Monday. Did you know the Monday after Thanksgiving is known as Cyber Monday? Shop in your pajamas and get special discounts and even free shipping on some of your biggest and best gifts. Many stores throw in free gifts and significant savings for online shoppers.
  
• Search for coupons and free shipping. These two items can save  you a lot of money. Check local papers and online for coupons and codes.  

DON'T:

• Wait until the last minute. If you are going out Black Friday-go out early! The items might be gone and out of stock if you wait too long.
  
• Don't be a Grinch. Holiday shopping can be stressful, but you don't have to take it out on others. Be respectful when fighting the crowds and waiting in line.
  
• Don't assume Black Friday prices are the be all and end all. Some experts say prices of electronics may drop lower up to a week after the special shopping day.
  
• Don't buy more than you need. Low prices can be tempting and sometimes shoppers can get greedy. Buy only what you need; you'll be happy come January when you have some extra money left over.

Happy shopping!

A new story out on Huffington Post today states climate scientists and disaster specialists are warning of the dangers of potential extreme and dangerous weather conditions expected to take place in the near future. Experts are warning organizations to consider their specific risks and advising states, towns and emergency organizations get prepared for impending dire situations.

Weather related disasters can cost millions of dollars to undo. For example, several weeks ago parts of Connecticut were caught off guard by an unexpected snow and ice storm. The storm left hundreds of thousands without power for a week or more and much of the state crippled. Yesterday, President Obama said because he had put Connecticut in a State of Emergency post storm that home owners would be eligible for a 75 percent insurance reimbursement. This storm has caused much turmoil in Connecticut (4AllPromos home-although thankfully we did not suffer the wrath) and as a result business, school and many individuals are struggling to get back on track.

Experts are saying that floods, droughts, heat waves, tornado's, thunder storms, freak snow and ice storms can be a threat all over the United States and everyone should prepare for all of these scenarios. 4AllPromos can be your source for storm and emergency related products. Government organizations, towns, school and businesses can help warn customers, clients, students and neighbors on how to be prepared for all kinds of weather conditions.

Hand out umbrellas, information brochures, flashlights, crank operated radios, reflectors, car safety kits, blankets, coolers are any other safety related items with website or telephone information and perhaps information on how to stayed prepared during floods, power outages, icy conditions and other dangerous situations.

You never know when Mother Nature can strike. Let 4AllPromos help you stay ahead of the game.

Are you one of those people who has to have the latest and greatest toy and gadget of the year? Christmas is the holiday to compose a list of your most sought after items-a wish list of sorts. What is on your list this year? I'm hoping Santa will come through with the WiFi Kindle for me. I've trolled the internet looking for the most popular items of 2011. Although it may be too early to tell just yet as in true American fashion not too many people have started their holiday shopping yet this is what I've concluded:

1. XBox 360 with Kinect
2. 3D/LED/LCD televisions
3. Apple iPad 2
4. Coffee machines (Keurigs)
5. Sports/concert tickets
6. Kindle/Nook (e-reader)
7. Golf clubs
8. Clothes
9. Pedicures
10. Pet

Maybe some of these ideas will get your imagination going and inspire you to start making your list and checking it twice. Happy shopping!
