Some cities have been covered in sparkling snow for the past month, but for those of you who live in warmer areas and perhaps did not notice: today is the first day of winter! Today is the shortest day of the year, so it makes perfect sense that it is also National Flashlight Day. Go grab your Maglite engraved for your evening walk because the sun will set earlier than usual. Stay safe!
The key to many successful businesses is a core team who communicates and works well with each other. Businesses who rely on sales to succeed look towards their reliable team of salespeople every year. Today is National Salesperson Day: can you guess one of the top items that only the best salespeople have access to? – Promotional Maglites are by far some of the best products out there. Coming in many colors, shapes, sizes, and pricepoints, they are known as being a salesperson’s favorite product to offer their customers.
Anthony Maglica, the heart and soul of Maglite flashlights
The term has nothing to do with magnetism or magnesium or manganese or magnificent. The term came from the founder, Anthony Maglica.
Mr. Maglica’s life story is a perfect example of the American dream. He had a poor man’s beginnings, and created an empire out of nothing. For a full history of this man’s dream, refer to the Maglite history page. He was born in New York City during the depression, but was raised in his mother’s homeland, Croatia. When he was about 20 years old, he returned to the USA to escape the political turmoil following Word War II.
Long story short, he learned English on his own, started Mag Instrument in 1974, and introduced the first Maglite in 1979. From then on, Mr. Maglica has made many improvements on that first torch. Some of the milestones are:
Making a hard plastic gift box, to increase the perceived value of the Maglite as a gift.
Changing from an incandescent bulb to an LED, then to a COB bulb.
Making various sizes and colors of flashlights.
Developing several rechargeable versions.
Making models that can be operated with one hand.
Colored bulbs
Making programmed models that have 3 or 4 modes of lighting, like high, medium, low, strobe, SOS.
Mr. Maglica is still committed to keeping the manufacturing in the United States.
Today let’s stand together to honor and celebrate all who have served in the United States military. Our courageous and selfless veterans carry a badge of courage, and we can never fully repay them. In honor of Veterans Day 2022, think of engraving Maglite flashlights with “Thank You, Veterans” and passing them out at your town’s local celebration. It’s the least we can do to honor our country’s heroes.
Engraved Flashlights Are There When You Need Them.
and it’s already dark outside.
We are faced with the time changing back to standard time this month, and the approach of the shortest day of the year next month. If you work day shift, you might be driving to work in the dark, and returning home from work in the dark. This is the ideal time of year to make use of your engraved flashlights. Make sure you have extra batteries near your torches. Good news..After we get over this hump, we are headed back to “normal”.
