MEMORY SHARING: THROWING IN THE TOWELS

FOREVER’S Latest Thing

Photo Books and Coffee Mugs have been popular ways to share memories, but FOREVER has come up with something a little out of the ordinary for your next photo gifting, to yourself or others: Towels! And guess what, the fish and the fly don’t have them.

Three Options & You’ll Love Them All

BEACH TOWEL

Let’s start big – a big 30″ X 60″ beach towel big. If you choose to use the Create & Print feature on FOREVER, there are two pages of templates for you to personalize, including one called The Big Picture, where you can fill the whole towel with a picture you love. If you use one of the other fun templates, you get to personalize them with colors, fonts and orientation. Add your name to be sure no one can claim it. If you can’t find what you want, let me know and I can design it in Artisan for you and I’ll have a blank page to start with.

The towels have a poly front with the print and a cotton terry back, but that poly front is not one of those water repellent polys you might have tried to dry off with in the past. It’s soft and absorbent it dry you off quickly and comfortably. The towel are machine washable and you tumble them dry.

GOLF TOWEL

These waffle weave wonders will please all your athletes, not just golfers, but their design is based on the traditional golf towel with a grommet and metal hook. However, add it to your gym bag or any other sports bag! You might even want to hook it from your scrapbooking tote. Don’t let that “golf” word deter you.

This towel is 16″ X 25″ and it’s a cotton/poly blend which is durable, absorbent and convenient. Like the beach towel there are all kinds of designs in FOREVER’s Create & Print templates for you to customize or you can start your design from scratch in Artisan.

TEA TOWEL

Tea towels are a great gift for many occasions and something we all need for ourselves. You know those tea towels that have hilarious sayings on them. Have you ever wished you could change the wording just a little bit to fit someone you know? Well, now you can.

Looking for the perfect wedding gift? They’ll love seeing their name and or monogram on personalized tea towels. And housewarming gifts? Their name and new address, right on the towel. And how about recipes? Think of this as a whole new way to share that recipe you’ve become famous for.

Waffle weave, like the sports towel, and the same size, but without the grommet & hook, you can make these up in both vertical and horizontal designs. They are a little larger than a standard placemat, but imagine a meal where your guests find their place by finding their face and the placemat goes home with them as a party favor. Cool, yes?

I just ordered this one and I can’t wait to take it to the next potluck I attend. I’m thinking I’ll be having them standing in line to order their own! Thanks for sharing memories with me and come back on Monday for a little Memory Making!

Get Down to Business with FOREVER

MEMORY KEEPING 101: MEMORABLE BUSINESS GIFTS

Coffee Mugs, Water Bottles, Magnets, Coasters and More

Most of the time, when I’m talking about the amazing photo gifts offered by FOREVER, I’m talking to individuals about items for them to gift to family and friends, but if you have a business, FOREVER could be your resource for gifts and giveaways your clients will love. We not only have the usual suspects like Coffee Mugs, Water Bottles and such, but we also have very unique, totally customizable ideas you will love.

The first thing business people want to know is, “How much?” My first question would be, “When do you need them?” FOREVER offers a variety of deals every month. I can see at the first of every month what the deals would be and if you don’t like the deals this month, hang on and let’s see what they have next month. For most items FOREVER offers (with the exception of storage, digitization and family history research), the deals can get as good as 50% off. Also, depending on how many you need, there might be a volume discount available.

But why FOREVER instead of one of the many other vendors on the internet? Well, to begin with, there’s me. I’m a local small businessperson and you know me. I know you, too, and I am going to take care of you. I am not a bot. I’m not an anonymous person on the phone. I’m not some app. I’m me.

Personalized Gifts should be Unique

I’m also not a template. When you order online from most vendors, you have to fill in their template and hope it turns out like you wanted. What’s more, they’re usually sourcing their offerings from someone else who is selling stuff to who knows how many other companies. In the end, your personalized gift looks just like every other personalized gift.

FOREVER has templates, too, if you want to go that route, but they also have their own designers on staff for those templates. FOREVER doesn’t merely look in some wholesale catalog and offer up what everyone else offers. They design what they want and then work with the printers to develop their unique templates for products unique to FOREVER.

But you’re not stuck with a template. You can send me your stuff, tell me what you want it to look like and I’ll design it for you. If you have no idea what you want, beyond you want something, I can also take it from there. Artisan is a design product unique to FOREVER. It began as a tool for digital scrapbooking which these days can be used to put a unique custom design on whatever FOREVER offers.

Quality First

Another reason to choose FOREVER is the quality of their products. I don’t know about you, but in my days before FOREVER, I ordered a lot of things that looked great on my computer screen, only to open the box when it arrived and drop it in the trash. It was what I ordered, but not what I wanted. Even more embarrassing, I’ve drop shipped things to people, thinking I’d sent something amazing, only to discover it was something awful. You won’t feel that way with FOREVER. They just don’t offer bargain basement products. You can get some version of their products a lot cheaper elsewhere, but I can assure you it won’t be the same thing. You might pay more, but you are going to be more satisfied.

So, let’s talk. Bring your budget and your ideas. I’ll be sure you have wonderful items for client gifts and promotional items. I hope you’ll contact me soon!
