pack promotional bags for a caravan trip


For your next vacation, take promotional bags on a retro caravan ride.

My Cool Caravan's mission is to photo-document retro caravans and the people who love them.

Camping out in a caravan is a great way to see the countryside. You can rent one and take your family or a group of friends through Oregon and Wyoming. Experience what life is like outside the city and the suburbs.

Pack non-perishables in promotional bags and cook your own food in the caravan kitchen. My Cool Caravan promises promotional products are coming soon on their site, so cross your fingers for some caravan-themed promotional bags.

use promotional bags at job fairs


Promotional bags help you stay organized and professional at job fairs. If you're looking for a job in casual retail, like at Urban Outfitters, use a slouchy promotional bag with a long strap you can sling over your shoulder. Make sure it's big enough to keep an accordion file with copies of your resume, but it should flow seamlessly into your outfit.

To a creative job fair, bring laptop bags that are colorful and unique. They should fit and protect your portfolio, and also leave room for a notebook and business cards.

Most importantly, you should feel comfortable and confident wearing these promotional bags. Good luck!

how to choose business cards for your promotional bags



Promotional bags brand your company not only by carrying your organization's logo, but also by using design to convey culture and values.

Business cards do the same thing. That's why it's important to make sure the cards in your promotional bags reflect your company's identity. See this Inc. article on how to choose the best business card.

Some advice in a nutshell? Make your card stand out. Focus on both design and delivery. Don't place text over images and use a readable font. Don't be cheap, and don't try to include too much information.

Come to think of it, the same rules can apply to promotional bags and all other branded merchandise.

Good luck!

take promotional bags on a weekend getaway



My promotional bags and I have been itching for a weekend getaway. Canoeing in Dahlonega? Camping in Blue Ridge? Partying in Athens? Somewhere that's only an hour or two away, where I can spend one night in a sleeping bag.

Maybe next weekend I'll pack some promotional bags full of clothes and snacks and jump in the car with a couple of cool people. We'll put our feet on the dash and our arms out the windows and take turns driving.

Any plans for a weekend getaway sometime soon? What's most essential to bring in your promotional bags?
