Equip Yourself Properly for the Basketball Playoffs

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The NBA playoff games are here! Although they are enjoyable, the playoffs can also be very stressful. Whether you’re a hardcore Cavs fan or just watching for fun, the blatant fouling and deep three-point shots will make any viewer clench their fists at some point during the game. So as your friend is rubbing the latest Lakers victory in your face, why not have a custom basketball stress ball to squeeze out some of your rage?

As for those businesses with any basketball fanatics, wouldn’t it be nice to reward your employees with basketball inflatable seat cushions? Not only will they be reminded that they work for a devoted company, your workers will now be able to sit more comfortably while watching their favorite team.

If you like to spice up the games by betting some money, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a custom basketball bank handy to collect the cash from your flawless predictions. From stress balls to seat cushions and beyond, there is an abundant amount of custom and promotional sport products to suit the needs of any fan.

Yankees fans won’t soon fuggeddaboutit

Back in April, Pepsi made a huge mistake: getting a bunch of Yankee fans angry. As part of a promotion to highlight the new partnership between Pepsi and the Yankees, Pepsi promised to give away 250 pairs of tickets to the historic opening game in the new Yankee Stadium to Yankees fans who congregated in Times Square that morning. Pepsi not only changed the location of the giveaway at the last minute, sending angry fans running for blocks for their chance to get tickets, but they also only showed up with 100 pairs of tickets– for a game in June. The day ended with enraged Yankees fans shouting, “Pepsi sucks!” and “Drink Coke!” while pouring Pepsi out onto the street. You can watch footage of the incident here. Wouldn’t it have been easier to have just promised the crowd some nice caps, baseballs and bats instead?

Three promo items every outdoor sports fan needs

It’s almost summer, and everybody wants to be outside. As I write this in my office, I’m imagining lying on my Chicago Cubs towel listening to the game on my radio while soaking in the comforting sunrays. Since I can’t enjoy the outdoors right now, I want to help you get the most of your outdoor sports experiences with the best schwag possible. Here are the top three promotional products every schwag-enthusiast needs.

Comfort is vital when viewing an all-day tennis tournament or a Little League tournament. That’s why I suggest a custom logo folding chair. They’re portable, easy to store, and, let’s face it, better than sitting on any bleacher. Plus, most have a cup holder for your favorite beverage!

Speaking of favorite beverages, have a place to store them with a promotional cooler. Dependinig on how many parched friends you’re bringing down to the local park, you can go with a small lunch-box style cooler or a giant 54-can model! It’s a perfect and interesting reward for a great employee, or use them at your company picnic!

A good pair of promotional sunglasses will keep your eyes shielded from the Sun and help you flaunt your stylish side. Watch the game in style with a pair of custom logo shades today!

Barkley Lines Golf Ball Toward Spectator

After being ridiculed by his peers and the media, Charles Barkley agreed to be instructed by Hank Haney, the world’s top golf instructor, on the Golf Channel’s reality tv series, The Haney Project Charles Barkley, to correct his hitched, “two-stroke” golf swing. Barkley’s revamped swing was on full display at the Regions Charity Classic when he lined a Regions Classic promotional golf ball, toward spectator Tommy Parrish.

Luckily, the clubhouse and a first aid kit were located near Barkley and Parrish on the sixth hole. All we can do now is hope that Barkley’s swing will improve as quickly as Parrish’s welt goes down.
