Wine Promotions - On Wine and Promotions
“It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend, one's present or future thirst, the excellence of the wine, or any other reason.”
-Latin Proverb
Looking for unique gift for the holidays? Sending a bottle of wine or wine gift set is a very sophisticated way to say, “Thank you, we appreciate you, and enjoy!” It is also great idea for company parties and weddings.
Many people are making a concerted effort to drink more wine since studies have come out and proven that wine in moderation can help prevent heart disease, cancer and other conditions.
Wine does this by increasing the amount of good cholesterol in the body and it can also lengthen the amount of time it takes your blood to clot.
According to Lana Christian at Buzzle.com, “Drinking wine has grown in popularity—especially since 1992, when Renaud and DeLongeril presented the discovery of the "French Paradox." Although the French ate a diet high in saturated fat, their mortality rate from chronic heart disease was unexpectedly lower than other industrialized countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom. And the most striking difference between the French diet and the diets of other countries is their consumption of wine.
Wine is fun, affordable, and a healthier alternative to sending over loads of sweets for the holidays. Find out more by talking to one of our sales reps today.
Cheers. Here is to your company’s success!

That is, donning less sloppy attire to project a professional attitude. So, why not encourage them further, by distributing, customized business attire from Farfromboring.com?

Many promotional caps even offer an additional imprint area on the back. If there's any doubt as to the effectiveness of caps as promotional products, just look at any baseball team. Certain colors and a team's logo decorate their caps as they play the field. It's not just a uniform, it's a symbol of their identity, and team pride.

It's Time for Promotional Watches
Please take a moment to think about what you see on the wrists of most people in every day life. If a watch comes to mind, you're thinking about a great opportunity to promote your company!
Timepieces have a long history. It is believed that King Henry VIII had one of the very first portable clocks (a watch), which he wore on a large gold chain around his neck. However, his watch only had an hour hand, and timepieces have come a very long way since his time. In the modern world, watches are typically worn on the wrist and they come in countless styles and shapes. Wrist watches were originally designed and sold in the late 19th century as a woman's accessory. But when the first airplanes were being flown in the early 20th century, this timepiece became a very useful item for aviators - thus launching the wrist watch into popular culture. Now in the 21st century, all over the world, people of all nations wear watches.
This popular and practical invention makes an ideal promotional product. Farfromboring.com can help you find the perfect promotional watches for your business or organization. A watch with your company's name or logo is a great way to get your business into the minds of potential clients or customers. A useful and attractive item is always your best bet for a successful marketing gimmick. Men's watches and women's watches are readily available through our site. And with the holidays coming up, it's time to start thinking about corporate gifts. Wrist watches are always in demand. Let Farfromboring.com provide you with some excellent promotional watches from our holiday gift store.

When you operate a small business, you get to know your employees as if they were a member of your family. You are not only co-workers, you are friends and confidants.

You want to give them something special that they will remember for the entire year, without breaking your bank account.
Farfromboring.com has the gifts priced from $25-50 that will show your employees how valuable they are to you and your business, while not affecting your bottom line. We offer specialized gifts such as the Callaway golf package for your golf enthusiasts, plus a wine tasting kit or automatic wine opener for the entertainer in your group.
If you are looking for something general, to please all employees, consider a 512 mb flash drive, stainless steel mug and coaster set, or a portable digital photo frame. We also have gifts for the eccentric employees, like a self-contained ecosphere, or a genuine swiss army knife. And as always, our gifts are fully customizable with your corporate or organizational logo. Farfromboring.com has a wide selection of gifts, for any company, in any industry.

Brand Loyalty, The Ultimate Goal
Brand Loyalty is defined by a consumer's allegiance to purchase your brand. Despite the presence of competition, your loyal consumer will continue to support your brand, and promote your brand to others.
Brand loyalty can even exist in the fictional world. Take NBC's hit series "The Office," this show has generated it's own line of promotional products that represent an imaginary company. People's loyalty to the show has transformed into brand loyalty for "Dunder Miflin" a paper distribution company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Incentives, thank-you gifts, and the presence of your logo are all ways that we can help you generate brand loyalty. "We wan't to take promotional products to a level where what we deliver will position your business in a better place than your competition, we are not just fulfilling orders, we are creating brands" says CEO of Robert Stillman.
Even if you can't reach millions through a hit sitcom, taking the first steps to be visible and brand yourself the right way is key. Treat your customers and all potential client's in a way where they will return their loyalty to you ten- fold.

Disposable Batteries- They Really Do Keep Going and Going….
Did you know that 15 Billion disposable batteries are manufactured every year? Once batteries are used up they get tossed out where they breakdown and leak toxic chemicals into the ground. This affects wildlife, pollutes groundwater and soil, and costs you money to buy new ones. According to a recent article “The Dirty Dozen” Chris Baskind lists 12 commonly used household items that are harmful to the environment. These are all items that have environmentally friendly alternatives so it should be really easy to make at least one change to help the environment. Not surprisingly disposable batteries are on the list so here is an environmentally friendly alternative that will also promote your logo and show you care about the environment. Check out our section of Hand Cranked and Solar Powered Tools. The products include flashlights, radios, and even cell phone chargers. Save the world, save your client’s hard earned money, and promote yourself with one of these great items!

ASI Article on Breast Cancer Awareness Store
Distributor Launches Awareness Site
At Farfromboring.com (asi/192001), pink is this month’s favorite color. Make that next month as well. Hardly three months into its first year of business, this online distributor has announced that it is donating 10% of sales made via its Internet charity program to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The program includes ribbons, bracelets, pens, picture frames, magnets, and all things pink purchased through the company’s Awareness Store throughout September and October. “Every member of our staff has been touched by cancer in one way or another,” says Senior Account Executive Susie Tucker on why the charity was formed. “Our goal is to create as much awareness as possible and contribute to organizations that need our help.”
The Awareness Store currently features nearly 50 breast cancer awareness items, all in varying shades of pink. Each month, the store highlights a different philanthropic mission, and Farfromboring.com CEO Rob Stillman says end-users can expect an expanded line of product offerings. The company is in the process of collecting data and input from clients to evaluate and build upon the program’s success. “This all fits in with our company philosophy,” Stillman says of the Awareness Store. “Have fun, exceed our customer’s expectations, and always be willing to give something back. This is our formula for success.”

Uniball-207 Check Fraud Pen
In some previous blog entries, we've been praising the check fraud pen. Hasn't Farfromboring.com touted on this item enough? Of course not! We love this item! The implications of this pen go beyond stopping check washing. This pen is very advantageous for the medical profession as well. As I'm sure you're already aware, anything written with this pen cannot be washed off or erased with the use of certain chemicals as other inks can. Prescriptions written with an ordinary pen can be easily washed clean and re-written by someone with the intent of abusing prescription drugs. Wth this pen, doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies will never have to worry about prescriptions being erased and re-written. People who run medical practices should definitely look into using only check fraud pens. Again, pens are an ideal promotional product for every profession, and the check fraud pen from Farfromboring.com is the best choice!
