At least once a day someone asks me what’s the latest, greatest promotional product… oh yeah… it has to be functional, look expensive, make the recipient think of my company AND be dirt cheap.  Here are two great ideas that I am currently using and loving:

#1 – Mobile Phone Charging Station
Every now and then someone comes out with a cool, simple, smart product that you look at and say, “duh… why didn’t I think of that?”.

Designed in Italy, produced in the United States and Europe, this mobile phone holder (or iPod, PDA) looks like something you would see in the Museum of Modern Art Store with a $15 price tag.  The holder hangs between your battery charger and the wall socket.  It provides a support for your mobilephone and convenient storage for your charging cord.

In about 30 seconds, the cell phone charging area in my kitchen went from rats nest to groovy and organized. The holder is made of a special mix of plastic and rubber to give it strength and grip.  Available in 8 colors.  As low as $2.50 each including a 1-color imprint.

#2 – Desktop [Cellphone, Blackberry, iPod, Business Card] Holder

Yes, another functional promotional product I have fallen in love with – I use it for my Blackberry and it sits to the right of my monitor.  I always know where my phone is and I can just glance at it to see if the vibration is an email/text or if someone is actually calling.  It’s fun because you receive it flat and have to put it together.  It’s even small enough to ship it in a #10 envelope. There are 2 sizes–small to accommodate cell phones and iPods and large ones to accommodate PDAs. The small one will mail First Class for 2 oz. and the large one ships at 3 oz.  There’s a wide variety of colors – both opaque and transparent AND it now is available in 4-color process!  As low as $1.50 each including a 3-color imprint.
