Whether people head to bars and restaurants to celebrate, catch up or just avoid cooking, it usually turns into a memorable experience. And with promotional items, bars and restaurants can help preserve the memory—and attach it to their names.
We remember which bars and restaurants gave us T-shirts for winning trivia night, paper hats and crayons to entertain us while we waited for our orders, and a coaster from our trip to Nashville, Tenn. four years ago, that we kept solely to remind us where to go next time we’re in town.
Interested in tapping into the power of these promotions? Here are four products to help you establish stronger promotions and relationships with your clients. Bon appétit!
LABEL MATES
Beyoncé says, “If you like it, then you should’ve put a ring on it.” We say, “If you like it, then you should put a label on it,”—with Growler and Bottle Tags from Stouse Inc. Whether end-users bottle their own brew or just like the look of a reusable jug, now they can tell what they’re drinking—or serving—courtesy of a four-color process printed tag that fits easily around a growler’s handle or bottle’s neck.

DON’T SPEAK
We’re not supposed to talk with our mouths full—and, when it comes to drinks, we know better than to even try. Instead, we’ll let the 9oz. Reusable Clear Plastic Cups from Visstun do the talking—and end-users can, too. The reusable, dishwasher-safe cups are printed in high gloss, high-definition full-color, and mix opaque and transparent printing together for a unique look.

OVER-THE-COUNTER THERAPY
For some, bartenders serve as makeshift therapists. But they still have to do their actual jobs, which means while serving up sage advice (and cold beverages) to patrons, they’re wiping down the counter, too. Help bartenders keep spirits high and bar tops clean with The Ultimate Rally Towel from Pro Towels. The 15x17" white towel is flat woven, hemmed and 100 percent cotton.

NO RING, NO PROBLEM
Drink rings on tables? No good. Drink rings on carpets? No such thing. With the Carpster Coaster from Next Products, those pesky rings will be a thing of the past. The mildew-
resistant coaster is made of carpet to absorb the moisture from glasses and bottles. It measures 3.75" in diameter, comes in black, blue, red or white, and includes a full digital color N-Dome imprint. For more information, visit www.nextpromotions.com.
