Gifts that Give Back

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Posted by: Colin Hageney

Bullpen has recognized that giving is on the rise as the U.S. economy struggles to rebound from 2009.  The start of Christmas and the gift-giving season is fast approaching.  We will be focusing our attention on gifts that have more sustenance – gifts that do, in fact, give back.

We are working tirelessly with our factories to develop ways for companies to give for charitable reasons, as well as promotional needs.  One initiative is the Hope and Green Grass collection of promotional products that display your logo.  10% of the revenue from Items purchased in this collection will be donated to Habitat for Humanity and American Forests, respectively.  Giving a gift that gives back creates such a wonderful culture within a company both internally with employees as well as external clients and stakeholders.  It shows a compassionate heart of a company that is not only looking out for its bottom line, but looking to help change the world in a small but important way.

To see the Hope and Green Grass collection, contact Bullpen today at 713.652.2030 or email us here.

Posted by: Colin Hageney

Posted by: Colin Hageney

coffee-cupsCups and mugs are one of the last things that I typically recommend when people ask me for promo ideas. It’s one of those ubiquitous items that are so common in the promo industry… like pens or mouse pads…. Unless you have a cool design, it’s just another mug. Until now.

Two Cool School Ideas

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Posted by: Colin Hageney

Okay.  They really don’t have to be just for schools, but the first thing that popped in my head was school fundraiser. Each of these products is a new twist on an existing item and could be used for sport teams or sport themes. First item up—the sweatshirt water bottle.

This cool collegiate looking Bio-DPS biodegradable water bottle is covered with a hooded sweatshirt. The soft cotton material is fun to hold and has a front pocket to keep your stuff—great place for tickets to the game! Sweatshirts come in blue and white. Minimum order is 72. Price $7.77 with 1-color, 1-location imprint.

Sunflower Hulls and Old Newspapers

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Posted by: Tiffany Yates

So Bullpen got this sample in the mail – and it’s crazy!  It’s actually hanging on my office wall as I type.  One of our manufacturers now makes a frame – yes, just a normal picture frame – that is made out of recycled sunflower hulls! I kid you not!  It even smells like them!

Recycled Frame Made Out of Sunflower Hulls

The manufacturer calls it “Dakota Burl.”  Apparently that is supposed to be more seductive than “mashed up seeds.” ; )  I like it, though!  The patterning does resemble burled wood.  It’s hanging on my wall due to the sheer novelty. =)

The same manufacturer has another really cool item – a set of coffeetable coasters made from “biocomposite” – which is nothing more than recycled newspapers!

They’re elegant and mod – they totally remind me of a San Francisco loft.

Tiff
