Tip of the Week
– Kathy
Huston, editor
Walk This Way
The Pitch: ASI has started a new wellness program called "Let's Get Up and Walk!" And they've given the walkers pedometers to track their steps (if I had any time, I might do it). This type of program is a great idea for any of your clients and another nice incentive item comes from Avaline (asi/37590).It's a brand-new, sleek-looking, 26-ounce aluminum sports bottle with a carabiner. Plus, if you order a minimum of 100, you can get it at EQP until 12/31/10. If you want to check it out, click here: http://www.avaline.com.
The Bottom Line: Good, good, good, good hydration (sing it like the Beach Boys).
Keep Hope Alive
The Pitch: I love the bags from Miche Bag Corporation (asi/71022) and for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they are offering over a 50% savings on their Hope handbags. They feature black-and-white phrases on faux leather, including inspirational quotes from 10 breast cancer survivors. Plus, they are donating $10 from every purchase from ASI distributors to the Huntsman Cancer Institute for cancer research. Use promo code: ASI4HOPE. The purse includes the Hope shell and base handbag. For more information and to see it, click here: http://www.michebag.com/.
The Bottom Line: Get a handle on it.
Babysitter's Club
The Pitch: The doctor behind invitro-fertilization, Robert Edwards, has received the Nobel Prize in medicine … can you imagine how many babies wouldn't have been born if it wasn't for him? No matter how babies are made, one thing is sure, they are eventually going to
need a babysitter. JDL Promotional Graphics Inc. (asi/60370) offers a magnetic, wipe-off Babysitter's Message Board, which is a great giveaway for hospitals, obstetricians, day-care centers and more. Pricing starts at: 300; $1.59-T. For more info on item MA0256 and to get contact info, go here: http://www.jdlpromotionalgraphics.com/.

Rock On
The Pitch: In honor of "The Flintstones" recent 50th anniversary, the town of Bedrock and Fred's work in the quarry with Mr. Slate, I bring you logoed River Rocks from Ball Pro Inc. (asi/38120). The supplier suggests the tagline: "Leave no stone unturned," but they can be imprinted with whatever your little heart desires and they make unique paperweights and office gifts.
