It’s that time of year to start thinking about holiday gifts for your clients and employees. Without question, food gifts are a holiday favorite with just about everyone! Below are 9 helpful tips about purchasing food gifts:

1. The holiday season tends to be stressful; make things easier for yourself whenever you can. Instead of sending an employee to the local retail store or having that employee spend hours on the web trying to find the right food gifts, you can purchase your food gifts from Bullpen Marketing.

2. Make sure you receive the deserved credit for your gifts by promoting your brand and not someone else’s brand. Purchase your food gifts from Bullpen Marketing — we will make sure that when your client or employee opens their present, the first thing they will see is your logo, not a food brand.

3. Take advantage of volume and value driven pricing. Everyone deserves a better price when buying larger quantities. And more importantly, there is no need to purchase overpriced brand names when you can receive better quality gifts for less money….

4. Make certain that your gifts are fresh. Without question, fresher gifts taste better and they leave a better impression with your clients or employees. Bullpen Marketing recommends gifts that are packed-to-order just before the order is shipped. We do not provide any gifts that are made-up several months in advance (like many gifts from the mail order and retail giants).

5. Provide both quality and quantity. Our holiday food gifts are packed fully of the finest premium chocolates, fresh-roasted nuts and other gourmet treats. Nothing is worse than getting a gift that is filled with fluff, air, and inexpensive fillers (like gifts from many mail order and retail companies).

6. Remove the hassle from packing and shipping. We can have all of your food gifts delivered to your doorstep or we can ship them for you to each of your clients or employees. We can insert a greeting card or anything extra that you would like to include.

7. Don’t let anyone clutter up your gifts with their self-promotions. Giant food gift companies are notorious about including their catalogs and promotional literature inside their packages and that borders on making your gift look tacky. Bullpen Marketing ensures that your gift is clutter free and the spotlight is shining on your brand.

8. Be creative and provide a memorable gift. Let Bullpen Marketing create customized gifts for you that are limited only to imagination and budget.

9. Secure peace of mind with a guarantee. The holiday season is stressful enough without gifts going wrong. All food gifts purchased from Bullpen Marketing are guaranteed to meet our quality promise so there is never any risk on your part. It’s our job to make you look great in front of your clients and employees. Let us provide you with peace of mind during the holiday season.

At Bullpen Marketing, we are all about promoting your company and your brand… not some food brand. The aisles of Costco and Sam’s Club are already filling up with their holiday food gifts. It’s not even October yet! Gifts from the giant food companies are usually so emblazoned with their logo – HICKORY FARMS or HARRY & DAVID that the recipient has a hard time figuring out who sent the gift. Was it from the Hickory Farms, or from you?

Bullpen has a complete line of fresh food items and the first thing your employee or customer will see is YOUR logo, not HARRY & DAVID’s logo. You can even choose gifts that include desk accessories or other durable items bearing your logo.  Items that will generate goodwill for your company long after the gourmet food has been enjoyed.

Don’t forget freshness.
Are we expected to believe that the Costco snowman filled with chocolates in September is going to taste fresh in December? Our food gifts are packed-to-order straight from the factory, not made up months in advance like so many others.  This guarantees that your gifts will be the freshest and best-tasting available. We can ship everything to you, or send them directly to your employee or clients.  Our gifts will arrive in perfect condition. We guarantee it!

This year, make sure your food gift promotes YOUR company, not theirs.

The heat and humidity is evidence that it is finally summer time. It’s the time when we do some cool tricks off the diving board into the welcoming cool water, catch some rays (with sun block applied of course) and relax with friends and family. But one thing always gets me in the mood for summer time: grilling. Finally. Whether you’re cooking meat, fish or vegetables, the proper tools is a necessity to accomplishing mighty fine grilling.

If you need some high class grilling tools, you have come to the right blog because Bullpen Marketing is not only preparing you for 4^th of July festivities, but we are also fulfilling your grilling needs.

Some days you need to get out of the office for lunch. But, sometimes you have those days when you are so swamped at work that bringing lunch from home is necessary. Instead of bringing that nasty paper brown bag that has leaked remnants of food onto your desk and seat, use the brown bag that serves a dual purpose. This bag keeps your meal healthy, and when it gets a little battered, you can recycle it. When have you even been able to recycle an actual bag? Not very often I’m guessing. Bullpen marketing is now offering this Brown bag which is made of laminated material, is water resistant, has a fully insulated interior and cleaned with only one nice swipe of a wet cloth.

This might seem like a regular bag, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Whether you want to reward your employees, give a little something to customers, or show off this affordable asset to the environment at fundraisers or private functions and events, this bag will encourage all who receive it to keep working hard, keep up support, stay green, and maybe even cut down on fast food.

You can buy this item as low as $2.28 with an imprint area as large as 4″x 4″. It has an open front pocket, a contrast carry handle with 5″ drop heigh and the bag dimensions are H 11″ x W 5″ x D 7.5″.

Whether for employee or customer appreciation, trade shows, private events, place setting decoration—these deliciously sinful snacks are perfect for any occasion and budget. Need help deciding what’s perfect for you? Call Bullpen today at 713.652.2030 or email us here.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything, along comes this new Food, Wine & Beer Pairing Wheel.  I think what I like most about this item is that it’s low-tech.  The data-packed culinary wheel pairs food with wine on one side and food with beer on the other.  Add your corporate logo on both sides and instantly you have a useful branding tool that your customers can use almost anywhere.  The wheel size is 6” diameter (3 disks total), easily slips into your jacket or purse.  Who needs an iPhone app when you have your handy helper seconds away?  (minimum order 1500 pieces, logo on both sides, $2.99)

This is great example of how a lot of data can be condensed, presented in a unique format to make situation-specific calculations or comparisons and get your audience to use it over and over.  Let Bullpen help you uncomplicate your company’s information.

Your marketing budget has been cut for the third time this year but you still have branding to do.
