Promotional Maglites is incorporating a Fibonacci sequence (21,34) in a special 1-day sale, November 23, 2021 of the Maglite Solitaire LED K3ALED. The significance of the price is a series of 2 adjacent Fibonacci numbers. 21 and 34.

Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician who discovered the sequence in 1202. This sequence has deep roots in nature, as in the petals of flowers. Why is today the special day? Because today is 11-23 (as in 1,1,2,3 the first four numbers in the series.
Diwali is a special 5 day holiday observed in India, Australia, UK, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia. It is also called the “Festival of Lights”. It represents the spiritual victory of good over evil; knowledge over ignorance.
If you like the excitement of the 4th of July and the blessedness of Christmas, you can appreciate the feeling of the people who celebrate Diwali every year. It started about 2500 years ago as a religious holiday for Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains, and is now the biggest national holiday in India.
How is this holiday celebrated? Each of the 5 days is different. The activities involve shopping for gold, cleaning house, and using sand to create “rangoli” patterns on the floor with colored sand. Also they pray, enjoy fireworks, visit, exchange gifts, and best of all, they feast!
It also sounds like the perfect time to use your Maglite Flashlights to light up the night after the fireworks, and when visiting your relatives and friends.
In 2021, the first day of Diwali is November 2, and the main day is November 4 (the new moon).
Happy Diwali!

October is “Self-Promotion Month”, according to NationalDayCalendar.com. This “Month” was started by Debbie Allen, an international self-employed business speaker. By the nature of her business, she must promote herself in order to make a living. Based on her philosophy, we offer these tips on promoting yourself, if you are an entrepreneur.
You already have a captive audience. If you give them what they want, you will increase the size of your business.
It’s that time of year again. The month of October is “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. Let’s eradicate this type of cancer by reminding every woman to do a self exam once a month, and to regularly get a mammogram according to her doctor. About 12% of the women in the United States will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
If you own a business, you can call attention to this issue by giving a Maglite engraved with your company logo to all your employees.
Please refer to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
The 3rd week in September is National Singles Week. Do you still “carry a torch” for someone that “got away”? If you do, make sure it is a Maglite torch. Promotional Maglites are the best flashlights that were ever made. They are sturdy because of the solid aluminum barrel. They are dependable because of the rubber O rings that keep out moisture. They are popular the world over, because they will never fail you.
Some things are habit-forming, like potato chips, beer, peanuts, long showers, afternoon naps. Other things are addicting, like Promotional Maglights. Here are my reasons:
Maglites are symbols of Americanism, strength, and dependability.
What better way to remember truck drivers, than to give them Maglite flashlights. This week is National Truck Driver Appreciation Week in the USA.
We have come a long way in getting your Maglite engraved with your logo. Before laser engraving, marking metallic objects was done with a mechanical “scratcher”. Jewelers used to do it that way, and may still do it. I don’t know. It’s cheaper than buying a laser engraving machine.
Today, many Maglites come in color that is anodized onto the aluminum barrel. The laser cuts through this anodized layer, exposing the bare whitish aluminum. This results in your white logo neatly placed on a colored barrel.
You bet!
What customer would turn down an American-made Maglite engraved with the logo of their favorite restaurant? The business owner knows that their logo will last forever on a Maglite. He knows that a $500 ad in a newspaper lasts only one day. How many years of advertising will $500 worth of Maglites deliver? Today’s savvy business owners know the power of promotional products. They know the power of an American-made brand name–a name known around the world.
