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.
When do you really need engraved flashlights? When you get off work at 5pm,
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”.
Enjoy your Maglites!
It’s the age-old question: should Daylight Savings be permanent or not? Sure, we get to have an extra hour of sleep this Sunday, but that also comes with an earlier sunset. Having the sun set before dinnertime is a little silly, right?
What if a diameter tape measure could solve this problem? To be honest, it probably wouldn’t help at all, but it would be a nice promotional gift to your customers.
If you want to gain back your freedoms, be sure to vote next Tuesday. If you vote
before the sun rises, or after dark, you can use your Maglite engraved and made in the USA! Maglites are durable and dependable.
This week, schools across the country are coming together to celebrate National Red Ribbon Week. This week we bring awareness to the negative impacts that drugs have on our lives and those around us. Let’s make a better future for our children and teach them to make right choices now and as they grow older.
Are schools around you celebrating this week? Here are some fun ideas to write down in your tally books:
-Crazy Sock Day
-All-Red Day
-Americana Day
Are you itching for a promotion or a raise? Usually hard work pays off, but when it doesn’t, you can always resort to a little harmless bribery, right?
Okay, maybe that is not the best route to take in the business world, but a kind gesture does go a long way. Today is National Boss’s Day, so go ahead and give your boss a little gift to show your appreciation.
Need ideas? Here are a few!
– a pipe diameter tape measure with “World’s Best Boss” printed on it
– gift card to his/her favorite coffee shop
– a thoughtful basket filled with snacks & treats
It’s a worldwide debate: Imperial vs. Metric
Which side are you on? Here in the United States, we follow the imperial measuring system, which consists of inches and feet. However, most of the world follows the metric system (centimeters, meters).
For the benefit of everyone, diameter tape measures come in both metric and imperial styles, so no matter which side of the debate you are on, you can find a style on which to put your company logo.
If you are a big fan of promotional Maglites, then today is the day for you. National LED Light Day celebrates this energy-efficient lighting option. LED’s are significantly more efficient than incandescent and fluorescent lights, making them ideal for everyday use.
Promotional Maglites come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors, and there are countless LED models to choose from:
Those in the oil well drilling business use tally books continually every day. They
keep a close record of when they attach a new section of pipe, and how long it is, and what time it is. The books are just the right size to fit into a pocket, so the books are kept right where they are needed. So tally books are a necessity in the oil drilling business.
To protect the book from weather and abrasion, the cover is made of vinyl. That’s where the irony hits. Vinyl is a man-made fabric made from OIL!
It was developed only in 1920 as an inexpensive durable fabric that is easy to make. It is made out of oil and salt, and its real name in poly vinyl chloride.
Here are the details for you scientists:
They break down petroleum using high pressure and temperature. This is called cracking. The results are ethylene, butadiene, propylene, and a few other things. They combine salt (a source of chlorine) with the ethylene using “electrolytic disassociation”. They add a few other compounds and end up with poly vinyl chloride (vinyl).
As you know, vinyl is ubiquitous, and very inexpensive. However, it looks expensive, similar to leather.
The quintessential picture of a beautiful autumn day is no doubt one that includes warm-hued foliage. As the days begin to grow longer, you will most likely need to carry around your promotional maglights in the evening hours- especially in order to illuminate the beautiful leaves in your neighborhood.
This week is Fall Foliage Week, so grab your high-quality, dependable promotional maglights and find your favorite tree to spotlight!
