Dads like to keep it simple, and when it comes to the right gift to get them this Father’s Day our advice is that you forget about the fluff – and yes, that means no ribbons, no bows!

Okay, so maybe they care for a little presentation too, but the idea is that you focus more on a thoughtful item that they’ll actually use rather than on the package in which it comes. Get ready to wow Dad this Fathers Day, and give him a gift that’s just as special as he is to you. Yes, he’s a little hard to shop for but there’s only one like him!

Read on and consider these ways to make your walkathon go more smoothly, be more exciting for volunteers and participants, and maximize your ability to raise funds!

Are you looking for a great fundraiser? There are many options that could be beneficial to your organization. With a little creativity and some man power, you can plan an event that will be fun, exciting, and make money!

Most organizations and causes rely on at least one major fundraiser each year to keep them up and running, so people are used to being asked to donate money to various causes. You can set your fundraising apart with strategic marketing and good planning.

College students always need money—and college-student led organizations are no different. Sororities and fraternities, along with any college club or organization, are dependent on the generosity of friends, donors, alumni, and faculty to stay open and meet various goals.

Fundraising is the traditional, tried-and-true means to filling the coffers and keeping the lights on, but are you stuck thinking of ideas?

If you want to keep customers, it’s time to start thinking outside the box when it comes to showing your appreciation for them. For a customer to know your appreciation is sincere, though, it needs to make sense for your company and your business-customer bond.

Doing the same thing everyone else does may work for short-term goals, but it won’t necessarily keep your customers at your side for years to come. It’s time to get personal and do things that truly show your customers just how important they are, and how much you want them to stick around for the long haul.

From customizable beverage koozies to calendars, plus shot glasses and tote bags, when it comes to the different ways in which you can utilize your gift, you're never limited to just the day-of! In this article, we’ll dive into all the fun ways you can apply engaging, useful accessories to pre- and post-wedding celebrations. I’m here to guide and inspire you to design the wedding of your dreams, while saving the most for your wallet. The options are endless when it comes to bringing your personalized message to life, delighting your guests, and remaining a tangible reminder of a very special day.

 When you have a company picnic or outing, part of the planning includes deciding what games to play during the event. After all, you have to have games at a company event. It’s inhuman and un-American not to.

But what to pick? Not everyone likes board games or cards, and those can be impractical (table top space, only so many players, potential for gambling and embezzlement, etc.).

As the one responsible for organizing these events, it’s your job to do so in a way that will make people actually want to be there, instead of feeling obligated because “it’s a work thing.” Can this be? Is this really possible? It most certainly is—if you take the time to know your coworkers, put real effort into crafting a quality event, and use some common sense.

Having good swag to give away at your event can take the experience off to the next level. I’m talking creative, visually appealing, portable goodies that will imprint your event on the minds of attendees.

Be sure to steer clear of large items that are not portable. Most people travel for events and will have minimal space to take loot home in. If you avoid these fails, your guests will not be heading to the waste basket after getting their goody bag.

Any business can venture in advertisement. But, what is the point of advertising if you don’t give your audience something to take away from it? If it’s not memorable, it’s pointless.

Are your potential customers going to be more interested in a running list of your services, or would they rather see a service or two in action, so they know what you can do for people like them?

This is why telling a story can make the difference between memorable, and not-so-memorable, marketing. Your audience wants to feel important, like you understand them. They want personal and emotion-provoking. This is what makes them interested in your business.

There is always a reason to celebrate our nation with red, white and blue. You don’t have to wait until the Fourth of July, because Presidents Day is right around the corner! This Presidents Day, honor the USA with fun, patriotic items that proudly represent America the Beautiful. Spread your holiday spirit with wearable and playful products you can give away as gifts to your favorite fellow patriots! With options such as bracelets, bags, shot glasses and t-shirts, you can observe this special holiday in nationalistic style.

Have you ever been touched by a story you heard about a product, one that influenced the lives of those who used it? So many brands around the world have built their success on the foundation of storytelling. At times, a product that helps solve a problem or benefits the customer is the reason why a business becomes passionate about what they do. The story gives purpose not only to the product itself, but to the company as a whole. Sharing your personal story is a great start to branding and conveying the role your business plays in society.

As an entrepreneur, you likely wear many hats. From CEO one day trying to negotiate a lucrative sales contract to maintenance person the next day trying to fix the copier. One aspect of running a business is the constant need for marketing.
