For many Americans, home is where the office is. According to a recent Gallup poll, adults employed full-time reported working an average of 47 hours each week, essentially tacking on an extra day to the workweek. This number has remained relatively steady over the past decade, and as more executives push a "do more with less" agenda on their staff, it only has one direction to go: up.
The good news? This growing time investment creates plenty of opportunities for distributors to score big with the cubicle crowd. From writing instruments and staplers, to lanyards and portable Bluetooth speakers, the options are endless for campaigns. That's why Print+Promo decided to nail it down to the following four products.
SAGE ADVICE
Little known fact about The Karate Kid movie franchise: Mr. Miyagi's famous "Wax on, wax off" was inspired by the Kwik-Stik Slim Tec Write-on/Wipe-off Desk Mat from Finn Graphics Inc. The 23.25x14.25" mat allows for ample advertising space and features a write-on/wipe-off area at the top for quick notes. The ultra-removable adhesive back repositions safely and cleanly on flat surfaces. For more information, visit www.finn-line.com.
IT'S A DATE
Meetings and birthdays and dinners, oh my. Keep track of all those important dates with the Compact Planner from SunGraphix. The pocket-sized planner complements week-at-a-view/month-at-a-view formats, and includes reference and information pages. The pages measure 4.25x2.75".

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT
The Mini Desktop Teardrop Banner from Quinn Flags is a great way to let clueless co-workers know that you're on deadline and don't have time to hear about last night's episode of Game of Thrones. After all, who can ignore a 6.75x13.75" knitted polyester flag with the phrase "Go Away!" imprinted on it? A fiberglass rod and a weighted screw base are included for easy assembly.

THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
We just love Hub Pen Company's 567 Consuelo. A sparkling personality and good looks-a hard combo to find. No wonder Kelly Ripa snagged him up. Wait ... that's Mark Consuelos, you say? Either way, the Consuelo is still quite the catch. Combining pearlized corporate color and bright chrome accents, the pen has a jumbo barrel and a ribbed rubber grip for extra comfort.
