Otis, when he was just a pup. Before he knew all the advantages of using promotional products.

We're sitting ducks in the middle of a light industrial park. Sales people regularly ambush us. They don't care that we're busy- we're just one of a number they have to aim at until, according to some sales actuarial table somewhere, they bag the client.

Do we buy? Are we annoyed? Could they improve their odds?
No. Yes. YES!

A study conducted by Baylor University (betcha didn't know dogs can read) showed that prospective customers who receive a promotional product view the company AND its sales reps 52% more favorably than if they just pop in with a company brochure! Even more interesting, they'll be perceived as being 16% to 34% more competent.

Whoa! Wonder what the stats would have shown had the promotional product been these tea and chocolate calling cards? http://www.notjuststuff.com/pdfad.html

As for me, sales reps can drop in anytime. Most of the time I sleep right through the pitch, but I'll follow 'em home if they shoot me a doggie treat or two. Lesson learned?

Hey! You. Ed. Buddy. Don't you feel invisible some nights when we take our walk? A little vulnerable maybe? Those cars come tearing down Shuresville Road and it looks like they have us centered in their sights. Wouldn't you feel a whole lot better wearing this tee shirt? You'll be blinking and flashing for the both of us! Can't you get us a sample? Please? From Threadlites. It's the hottest new thing in tee shirts for our industry. So nobody's brand gets left in the dark.

When he's not napping, eating, snooping out good deals for Tidewater Incentives Group's customers- Otis thought he might try blogging. Everybody's doing it.
