Promotional Products –

Corporate gifts are used to challenge the competition and for withholding a strong position in the market competition. In the world, when we talk about corporate links and relations it is a must to maintain healthy and yet competitive relations with other clients and do your best not to lose the customers at any cost. These are the little things; if proper care is taken, then these would benefit the corporates with multiple profits but otherwise carelessness can easily ruin the profits overnights. So, one needs proper strategy and planning for offering corporate gifts.

The advantages of using promotional products.

Have you ever wondered why promotional products are used as a form of advertising? The fact is consumers avoid advertising so companies have to figure out creative ways to reach their clients without annoying them. The advantages of using promotional products are as follows:

1. Selectivity: the product distributed directly to target customers;
2. Flexibility: the product can be distributed through several different means;
3. Frequency: items are usually kept for a long period of time; which in turn drives repeated exposure;
4. Cost: items are affordable compared to other forms of advertising (repeated exposure drives down cost per impression);
5. Goodwill: people like to receive gifts and many gifts are functional;
6. High Recall: with promotional products there is a high recall of the advertiser’s name and message;
7. Supplementing other media: low cost and repeat exposure- message can reinforce appeal or information provided through other forms

Check out what we did for one of our clients!



Client: iTAN (www.itansolariums.com)


Problem: I-tan came to us needing a promotional shirt that their employees could wear and that represented the benefits of vitamin D in tanning. They were interested in a high quality fashion forward t-shirt that was more fitted and that represented the high quality brand that iTan has established.


Solution: Since iTAN needed an employee t-shirt one of the considerations that had to be accounted for is that the shirt would be washed many times; iTAN needed a shirt that would be long lasting and a shirt in which ink would never crack or peel. We recommended that iTAN use an American Apparel t-shirt with discharge ink so that the employees could wear a fitted t-shirt that was soft to touch and would look better with every wash.



Analysis: The shirts that iTAN used were a great success! The shirts still look great after months of use and their customers now associate vitamin D with the experience of tanning. Since the success of these shirts we have done multiple different promotional products for them!





We have many promotional products that can work for your company in many different ways, contact us to figure out the best fit for your company! Visit www.consuul.com for more information!

 

Purity ring

Purity rings (also known as chastity rings, or abstinence rings) originated in the United States in the 1990s among Christian-affiliated sexual abstinence groups. Wearing a purity ring is typically accompanied by a religious vow to practice abstinence until marriage.

David Bario, a reporter in the Chicago Tribune, Rutland Herald, and several other news websites wrote:

"Under the Bush administration, organizations that promote abstinence and encourage teens to sign virginity pledges or wear purity rings have received federal grants. The Silver Ring Thing, a subsidiary of a Pennsylvania Evangelical Church, has received more than $1 million from the government to promote abstinence and to sell its rings in the United States and abroad."

The ACLU of Massachusetts brought charges against this decision, because the Silver Ring program did not ensure its secularity and hence was ineligible for federal funding due to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The settlement between the ACLU and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says that any further similar applications of Silver Ring Thing must be reported to ACLU and closely scrutinized for separation of church and state.

LCD Monitor v/s CRT Monitor

The demand of LCD (Liquid crystal display) monitors is rapidly growing in the market. With the advancement of technology LCD are quite familiar to computer user and we can see most of them are using LCD. It would be a challenge for LCD manufacturing companies to fulfill the growing demand of LCD in the market.

Some comparison between LCD monitor and CRT monitor is given below

1. LCD panels are only an inch thick without including the stand. These consume less power and don’t radiate a lot of heat when used, unlike CRT monitor.

2. Their digital display is sharper and produce good quality picture as compare to CRT monitor.

3. An LCD monitor is slim and comes in a very compact configuration. They can be fit easily into any less vacant part of the room or any where. They are very suitable for small offices or homes

4. But its difficult for everyone to afford LCD display because LCD display screens or monitors are quite expensive as compare to CRT

5. LCD screens or displays are very sensitive and should be handling with care. They are not suitable for minor used.

6. As far as moving images or 3D images are concern, LCD screen are blurry and unclear. Hence, someone prefers CRT over LCD screens. Graphic designers also prefer the CRT over the LCD. Not only that, the color gradations are not clear in the LCD panel, and it causes problems in differentiating between darker shades, creating practical problems for graphic designers.

Hardware Requirement for Win XP

This is 2^nd part of my previous mail related to winxp speeding up. I am also sending roman urdu version of the same mail. incase you won't receive it, just send me an email ok

In my previous mail I explained the reasons why your computer and internet slow down after some time.  And we thinks that it's just because of the computer hardware problem as its old now, well that's not the reason. (if you haven't received my previous mail then just send me a mail requesting it) Then I wrote down 16 points. By following all of them will make you computer (winxp) runs more smoothly and fast without formatting it. From now onwards we will discuss those 16 points in detail 1 by 1.

Many of you have upgraded your pc's from Winxp to Win Vista or Win7. But Winxp is still much popular among us and have been used widely all over the world. I will talk about Win Vista and Win7 in my future mails but right now will continue with Winxp

1, Minimum Hardware Requirement for WINXP PC In this era, Computer has become such an important necessity for all of us that we cannot imagine living without it. Even a house is incomplete if there is no computer in it LOLz.. really its like dat now

1 thing which is very important to think about is that if you make a race between a donkey and horse then you already know the result. The reason to give such a stupid example was to tell you, if you are still using veryyyyyyyyyyyyy old computer then I will advice you that don't waste your energy and time. Most of us uses such an old computer and try to do all of the things on it when it simply just can't do it.

And many people are out there who only blame their computers just for nothing. The reason they feel that computers are slow or old is that they don't know how to work or do the proper maintenance of the computers.

Now a days, the accessories of computers are really very cheap. You just don't have to buy a new computer. What you have to do is simply buy the hardware parts and replace them with the new once. And you will feel a big difference

Its important to tell you that I have run winxp on a Pentium 3 computer whose speed was 600 or 700MHz and RAM was 250MB and its was working fine really. I was running Ms-Office and Internet on it without any problem.

		On Microsoft site, the minimum requirement to run Winxp on a computer is as follow.
	Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended) At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended) At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse or some other compatible pointing device Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600)or higher resolution Sound card
Never the less, by keeping in mind today's softwares and working environment, I will tell now what are the basic hardware requirement of a computer to do all of our daily work without any problem with WinXP installed on it.

My advise is to have a Pentium 4 computer with 1.6 GHz processor speed (min).. RAM should be  500MB min. But I will advise you if possible, increase your RAM with 1GB or 2GB atleast. Now a days RAM's are very cheap so make it a one time decision and make your life easy.

RAM boost your computer performance. It doesn't matter if you bought a PC with a high processor speed and having only 500MB RAM in it. The over all PC performance will be very slow or should I say average until it's RAM is not increased. Well the PC performance is also dependent on the cache speed but that we are not going to discuss it now.  And hard disk … 50GB is more than enough for a normal user. If you want to store high volume of media like movies and songs in it then you can have a hard disk with more capacity.

People who are still using Pentirum 3, they don't have to worry about any thing. Because Winxp will run smoothly on it if you take care of the things which I will tell you in future. You just have to fine tune it. And you can also increase the RAM size of it. My advise to Pentium 3 users is to increase ther RAM size to 1GB if possible. Take your PC to market, and ask the guy to replace the old RAM with the new one. Don't buy the RAM on your own without taking advise from an expert. Because RAM depends on the board and other factors. The requirements which I have briefed above, if you all follow them then definitely you wont face any kind of problem in near future. Because these are just the basic requirements to use your pc for routine work. If you want to run special softwares like Photoshop, corel, 3D softwares then you have to buy a PC according to that. But for a normal user, it's enough what I have told above.
