Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning “Christ’s Mass”) is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or Nativity Fast and is prolonged by the Octave of Christmas and further by the season of Christmastide. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world’s nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people,and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season.

The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath, Christmas music and caroling, an exchange of Christmas cards, church services, a special meal, and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore. Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.

While the month and date of Jesus’ birth are unknown, by the early-to-mid 4th century, the Western Christian Church had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East, although some churches celebrate on the December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which, in the Gregorian calendar, currently corresponds to January 7, the day after the Western Christian Church celebrates the Epiphany. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after the day on which early Christians believed that Jesus was conceived, or with one or more ancient polytheistic festivals that occurred near southern solstice (i.e., the Roman winter solstice);  a further solar connection has been suggested because of a biblical verse identifying Jesus as the “Sun of righteousness”.

Nonwoven fabrics are broadly defined as sheet or web structures bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments (and by perforating films) mechanically, thermally or chemically. They are flat or tufted porous sheets that are made directly from separate fibers, molten plastic or plastic film. They are not made by weaving or knitting and do not require converting the fibers to yarn. Typically, a certain percentage of recycled fabrics and oil-based materials are used in nonwoven fabrics. The percentage of recycled fabrics vary based upon the strength of material needed for the specific use. In addition, some nonwoven fabrics can be recycled after use, given the proper treatment and facilities. For this reason, some consider nonwovens a more ecological fabric for certain applications, especially in fields and industries where disposable or single use products are important, such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes and luxury accommodations.

Nonwoven fabrics are engineered fabrics that may have a limited life, single-use fabric or a very durable fabric. Nonwoven fabrics provide specific functions such as absorbency, liquid repellence, resilience, stretch, softness, strength, flame retardancy, washability, cushioning, thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, filtration, use as a bacterial barrier and sterility. These properties are often combined to create fabrics suited for specific jobs, while achieving a good balance between product use-life and cost. They can mimic the appearance, texture and strength of a woven fabric and can be as bulky as the thickest paddings. In combination with other materials they provide a spectrum of products with diverse properties, and are used alone or as components of apparel, home furnishings, health care, engineering, industrial and consumer goods.

You Get What You Pay For

You Get What You Pay For

One of the most important issues to consider when buying promotional products – is safety.  Companies can waste thousands of dollars in choosing the wrong promotional product that can result in product recalls and negative media coverage – which can diminish the brand itself. Thus the term  ‘you get what you pay for’.

Promotional Products have consistently shown they are affordable, accountable and measurable advertising in rough economic times.  Lately more inexperienced and unethical players have entered the promotional products industry – with a lot of  promotional websites trying to convince unsuspecting consumersr that they have found the ‘direct’ connection to products, but in most instances that is the farthest thing from the truth – and the invisibility of the web isn’t the only problem.

30% of the promotional companies who claim to sell promotional products are Promotional Products Association industry members.   These industry members generate more than 80 per cent of the $2.02 billion spend in Australia.  In direct contrast, 90 per cent of the complaints received by Promotional Products Associations are against companies that are not members of these organizations.  Many of these  non members are repeat offenders, who market themselves extensively and focus on new, unsuspecting customers (as repeat business is unlikely).  The major reason consumers take the change is, overwhelmingly, PRICE.

Promotional products are an advertising medium the power of which some marketers are only just beginning to grasp – promotional products are not a commodity.  Latest research shows that the next generation of consumers are motivated and enticed by tangible forms of advertising.  In the early days, there were basic gift-with-purchase successes like the Coca Cola Yo Yos.  Now, promotional product campaigns are a part of every savvy marketers integrated solution.

Promotional Products today are used as complex triggers and data collection tools.  Product selection is no longer based on ego driven decisions by marketers, but are strategically chosen by online focus groups.  Since the 1970’s the promotional products industry has been growing and maturing.  Being aware of what questions to ask when producing Promotional Items and the creativity to integrate concepts linked to products are only a couple of the reasons why promotional product professionals are the perfect outsourced extension of most marketing departments.

Safety and health requirements, ILS (International Labour Standards) and technical branding application knowledge can make all the difference between a promotional success and a promotional nightmare.

There are questions marketers should be asking to ensure their next promotional experience is sucessful.  Some things in life are black and white.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY…..

  1. How long have they been in the promotions business?
  2. Are they members of a Promotional Products Assocation?
  3. What is their policy on return of products?
  4. What is their policy on timely delivery of goods?
  5. What is their policy on quantity-short product deliveries?
  6. Are they able to offer your references on their previous supply experiences?

THINGS YOUR PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS SUPPLIER NEEDS TO KNOW….

  1. The objectives and the audience that you want to reach with your promotion (e.g. rewarding consumers, increasing sales, acknowledging external business partners or internal staff, or to brand or increase attendance at an event)
  2. The response you want from the recipients of these products
  3. The information about your brand that you want to communicate
  4. The information or statistics from the recipients that you would find useful, if you were able to obtain it
  5. Historically, some of the other promotions done by your company, and
  6. What you would like the recipients to think about your company after the promotion is finished?

WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT HEAR FROM A PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS COMPANY…..

  1. That they will undercut any price from any other promotional company
  2. That there is no guarantee on their product once you have received it
  3. That there is no need to sign off on artwork approvals

The Origin of Paper Weights

Antique paperweights were made in the “classic” years between 1845 and 1860 primarily in three French factories named Baccarat, St. Louis, and Clichy. Together with inventor Justin Schubert of a neighbouring town, they made between 15,000 to 25,000 weights in the classic period. Weights (mainly of lesser quality) were also made in the United States, United Kingdom, and elsewhere, though Bacchus (UK) and New England Glass Company (US) produced some that equaled the best of the French. Modern weights have been made from about 1950 to the present.

In the US, Charles Kaziun started in 1940 to produce buttons, paperweights, inkwells and other bottles, using lamp-work of elegant simplicity. In Scotland, the pioneering work of Paul Ysart from the 1930s onward preceded a new generation of artists such as William Manson, Peter McDougall, Peter Holmes and John Deacons. A further impetus to reviving interest in paperweights was the publication of Evangiline Bergstrom’s book, Old Glass Paperweights, the first of a new genre.

A number of small studios appeared in the middle 20th century, particularly in the US. These may have several to some dozens of workers with various levels of skill cooperating to produce their own distinctive “line”. Notable examples are Lundberg Studios, Orient and Flume, Correia Art Glass, St.Clair, Lotton, and Parabelle Glass.

In the late 1960s and 1970s, artists such as Paul Stankard, his former assistant, Jim D’Onofrio, Chris Buzzini, Delmo and daughter Debbie Tarsitano, Victor Trabucco and sons, Gordon Smith, Rick Ayotte and his daughter Melissa, and the father and son team of Bob and Ray Banford, began breaking new ground and were able to produce fine paperweights rivaling anything produced in the classic period.
