Ramblings from the desk of Bruce Falkins
Donna and I recently traveled to Calgary to visit our daughter and son-in-law (who by the way are expecting their first child and our first grandchild).
While making this trip (which we have done many, many times before), we started talking about our business and where it has taken us over the last twelve years, which led to all of the new friends we have got to know as a direct result of doing business with each other.
One of the neat things about the Promotional Products business is that almost everyone can become a client. This business of ours allows us to talk to pretty well every kind of business, there is no type of business that can’t use a Promotional Product to help them “Brand” their business.
One humorous aside; when we started Falkins Advertising 12 years ago my mother-in-law made a comment that she couldn’t understand anything about this business and that no-one would use a promotional item. However her house was full of promotional products that businesses she deals with gave her.
She had a refrigerator full of various magnets, promotional pens all over the place as well as numerous other items, and she used all of them!
Anyway, enough for now, “Remember, Promotional Products do help you Brand YOUR Business”.
