How To Choose The Right Tally Books For Your Workforce

Pipe Tally Books for Gas and Oil Workers — Pipe Tally Books for Gas and Oilfield Workers

Gas and oilfield workers are the most prominent users of pipe tally books. They need to write in them every time they add another pipe to the drilling rig. These hard working people keep track of pressure readings and inventory in their critical jobs 24 hours a day. How do you choose which tally books you buy for them?

The books should be:

Durable (vinyl is great for this purpose)
Weather resistant
Small enough to fit in a pocket
Colorful enough so they won’t get lost in a pile of stuff
The right color to show off your corporate logo on the front vinyl cover
Able to hold a removable water-resistant “stone” paper pad, which is “un-rippable”
Designed with an integral pen loop

When you equip your men with the right products, they can focus on their work.

The Only Corkscrew You Need to Ring in the New Year

Have you been perusing Pinterest over the weekend, looking for the perfect cocktail recipes to make for your family, friends, and coworkers tonight? Or will you stick with something simple and easy like champagne or wine? Either way, don’t be an innocent bystander as you watch someone fumble with a low-quality corkscrew at the party tonight. Make it easy for everyone to ring in the new year by bringing your favorite corkscrew.

Happy New Year!

Have Your Pie And Eat It Too With This Serving Set

What is your favorite pie of all-time? Is it as simple as apple or cherry? What about a summery peach or key lime pie? Some people even like a fancy pear frangipane tart (is a tart still considered a pie?) But today, National Pumpkin Pie Day, is the one day that honors the all-American pumpkin pie.

No matter your palate preference, even people on the most restricted diets can find a good ol’ pie that they enjoy- there are sugar & flour substitutes galore! Just go to your local bakery, or if you’re feeling bold, go online and find a recipe to try at home that suits your guidelines.

Homemade or store-bought, it doesn’t matter- a pie still needs to be cut and served, and you can do it in a breeze with this American-made serving set. Going to a dinner party at a customer’s home this week? A serving set would be the perfect gift and would help remind your customer of you every time they use it to serve their favorite dessert.

Happy eating!

The Best Candle Lighter For Every Season

Today is both Christmas Eve and the third day of Hanukkah, a day of anticipation for everyone of the Christian and Jewish faiths. What do you think your customers will be doing tonight? Going to a special candlelit church service? Hosting friends and family for dinner at their home? Wherever they will be, they would appreciate having a reliable electric candle lighter with them. It will help them quickly light the candles at church while singing “Silent Night”, and when they get home it will help light their centerpiece candles on their dinner table, or the candles of the menorah. Make sure to have this candle lighter laser engraved with your company logo so that your customer thinks of you all year long- whether it’s this winter while lighting holiday candles, or in the summertime while lighting their grill.

The Kid in You Really Wants These Technology Gifts

This time of year parents and relatives are on the hunt for the *perfect* gifts for the children in their lives. They’ll consult blogs, magazines, and friends at school to figure out what gift will create the biggest smile on those kids’ faces. Is it that hot new talking robot? Or a new video game? Or perhaps you have a crafty kid who loves to do art projects. No matter the gift, you always have to make sure that it is appropriate for the child’s age and developmental level.

Some other things to consider when buying for children:

Is it durable?
Is it lead-free?
Is it non-toxic?
Is it a choking hazard?

America has the toughest toy-making standards in the world, so it’s not hard to find safe American-made toys. But remember that many toys are made outside the US.

Another thing to remember is to read online ratings and comments about the product before buying it.

After you’ve chosen the right toys for the children in your life, treat your adult customers to these technology gifts. They’ll be as excited as a kid opening that thoughtful gift from you.

Happy Holidays!

Pay It Forward This Winter with Corporate Apparel

National Homeless Persons’ Remembrance Day

These next few months are the coldest time of year throughout the northern hemisphere. If you are one of the lucky ones to have a warm home to return to every evening, count your blessings. Too many homeless people die every year because they don’t have the necessary shelter, food, and resources to survive.
You and your company can bring awareness to this issue by attending a candlelight vigil to remember those homeless in your community who have passed away this year. Have hats or other corporate apparel embroidered with #HomelessPersonsRemembranceDay for the whole company. And better yet, order some extras and pass them out at your local homeless shelter to help out future generations.
