Do you like bubbly drinks? Do you like caffeine as well? Then today is your lucky day- it’s National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day. I bet you’re thinking the best drink to fill up your travel mug today is just some good ol’ soda, or perhaps a bubbly energy drink. But did you know that you can buy or make your own coffee soda?
A few companies out there make sparkling coffee, also called coffee soda. They’re basically just coffee infused with CO2, and perhaps a little sugar or citrus juice. Or you can do a little experiment at home today- mix 5 oz seltzer water, 2 oz espresso, and 2 oz of fresh OJ.
Whichever drink you choose today, don’t forget to put it in your trusty travel mug to get you from home to work, and all the places in between.
On Sunday September 29 you will wake up thinking it is just an ordinary day. But, in fact, it is not. It is the one day a year where coffee-lovers nationwide get to raise their travel tumblers in celebration of National Coffee Day.
Whether you like it iced, skim, half-caff, or just black, the one thing we can all agree on is that you need a proper insulated beverage bottle in which to drink your favorite coffee.
What better way to reward your employees than with any of these laser-engraved travel tumblers. It could be just the pick-me-up they need to get through the day.
Active business people spend time at the office, and time driving to appointments. Wherever you are, you want your fresh water to keep yourself healthy and properly hydrated. Thermos® has the ideal water pal for you. It is leakproof, so you don’t ruin your laptop. This Thermos water bottle keeps your water pleasingly cold for up to 12 hours, because of its vacuum technology. Since there is no glass involved, it is unbreakable. Your table and valuable paperwork won’t suffer from bottle sweat, because there is none. For added safety, the top remains closed until you press the button to drink. The large capacity is 18 ounces, and it is designed to fit in most car cup holders.
Promotional mugs come in a wide variety of styles, material, and colors today. When I started in the advertising specialty business 22 years ago, the coffee mug selection was rather boring. Mugs were available in…
Ceramic
Porcelain
Glass
Then along came promotional mugs in heavy plastic, stainless steel, rubber non-skid bottoms, vacuum insulated, and fancy non-drip closeable lids. Some are available with a combination of material and colors to match your corporate logo. Some companies, like Starline, rate their insulating abilities so you can compare one vacuum bottle with others. The higher the price, the better insulating ability it has. Of course, price is also determined by the size and the type of material.
Promotional mugs, travel mugs, coffee mugs, water bottles, and vacuum mugs all share these common qualities, which make them so popular.
APPRECIATED by your customers, contacts, and employees.
USEFUL. Mugs are so useful, that you might consider them a necessity.
PERPETUAL. Coffee and travel mugs last forever, unless of course you break one. But how hard is it to break stainless steel, ceramic, or heavy plastic?
A PERMANENT GOODWILL GESTURE. Every recipient remembers who gave them the water bottle or vacuum mug. How could they forget, since your logo is permanently imprinted right on it?
Camo is Cool. The number of Camo-Lovers is constantly increasing. Even people who never go to the woods like the look and feel of owning a camo-imprinted item. This Muskoka Fall™ Vacuum Water Bottle, SV98SS, will fit right into your collection of camo personalized pocket knives, camo backpack, hat, and jacket, multi-tools, and Mag-Lites.
That’s what I love about promotional mugs, and I hope you do, too. The never-ending changes in design and materials keeps this area of promotional advertising alive.
