Trend Watch Gift Season 2018

Summer is here and in full swing, but it’s never too early to start thinking about the year-end gift occasions. Here at Fundy Textile and Design,
we have some great options for you.

Impress With Big Brands

Your big clients are that for a reason and deserve to be treated as such. Show them their worth to you by gifting them with well-known brands
such as Cutter & Buck, or Wenger. At Fundy Textile & Design we also have access to great brand names such as Nike, Under Armour,
and Roots. These companies have perceived, and well deserved, value which will show your clients how much you appreciate them.

Show Care With Custom Labels

Commemorate a business milestone, or offer special recognition with custom labels. While an outward facing logo is common, a special
message on the inside of a neck or waistline is an extra touch that goes above and beyond for special occasions.

Give Them Tech

There was a time where technology infused clothing was a fantasy. (See: Get Smart) While we don’t have a shoe with a built-in phone, the
Zoom Node Wireless Charging Backpack will allow you to throw your phone in the pocket and it will charge while you’re in meetings or making
your flight connection. Or how about the Soundwave Vacuum Insulated bottle which is literally a water bottle with a Bluetooth speaker built into
the lid?

Insulated Drinkware

High-performance insulated drinkware is a big deal right now. Giving your clients something on-trend and practical is a win-win situation.
The Hugo Tumbler is a perennial favorite and easily customizable, or you could buck the trend and feature the Rover Insulated Camp Mug.
Either way, you’re giving something practical, and fun.

Make It All Look Nice

Once you’ve decided on what to go with, don’t forget how you’ll present it. Whether it’s gift boxes, retail style packaging, or branded tote bags,
we have the options to make sure your gifts look great!

Now that you see what’s hot for the holidays, let Fundy Textile & Design help you!

Custom Labels

That Special Touch: Custom Labels For Schools

With the change of seasons comes a change in the weather. And in much the same way, there are changes afoot here
as well. With our friends at PCNA, we’ve introduced a line of apparel that will feature a logo or special message on the
inside of the neck or waistline. Deliver your message all the way down to the tiniest details. Whether you choose to use
this real estate to create a custom collection, or for special messages, the choice is yours.

The options are almost endless, and the message is yours to deliver. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, recognizing
an athletic achievement, or creating a custom collection for alumni, custom labels add value as the garment instantly
becomes an exclusive.

When you’re ready to discuss, reach out to Mike to discuss your options. And don’t be deterred by small orders. We’ve got
options no matter your need!

5 Amazing Summer Giveaways

5 Summer Events, 5 Home Run Giveaways

With summer in full swing, summer family events aren’t far behind. We’ve teamed up a few of our favorite events
with some of our favorite promotional items.

Company Family Picnics

When the work family and home family come together, give the kids something they will love. Make a picnic fun kit using
our 87 oz pail with a shovel and lid, and a branded stuffy.

Farmer’s Markets and Food Festivals

When it comes to food festivals and farmers markets, if you’re not getting your hands dirty and sticky, you’re not doing
it right. Make sure you’re sanitary with a pen spray sanitizer. Available in a variety of colors, with your logo, these make
a great giveaway at food booths, trucks, or wherever something delicious is to be found.

Marathons and Running Events

We think you know where we’re going with this one. Marathons and 5k’s are hard. And runners need a lot of water. Help
them out with the Cork 22 oz. Tritan Sports Bottle. A hydrated runner is a happy runner.

Music Festivals

Summer music festivals are the ultimate getaway for a music fan. Several days with a bunch of bands in one spot. Help
your festival goers stay comfortable with branded sunglasses. And one really can’t have too many pairs of sunglasses.  

Corporate Retreats

While they may not always be the most fun, up the game right off the bat with a branded lunch cooler filled with snacks
and goodies. Give them something to fuel them while they spend their day learning.

Great Ways to Think Outside the Booth

Think Outside the Booth

When you’re at a trade show, it’s always great to have some branded giveaways for your booth. That’s where you’ll meet
most of your prospective clients, so it makes sense. But there are other ways to raise your brand awareness when you’re
not at your booth.

When You’re Traveling

Trade shows mean traveling. Traveling means a lot of other people around, which is the perfect opportunity for you to
showcase your brand. Hard luggage, and personal care travel kits are easy ways to ensure that your brand is front and
centre.

Where You’re Staying

Hotel rooms can be supremely comfortable even for a long stay. But there are often amenities that are just not available,
like charging multiple devices at once. A light up AC adapter with two USB inputs makes it easy to charge two devices
at once, and the built in light makes it easier to handle.

And when it’s workout time, a super stylish branded long sleeve shirt with moisture wicking technology can represent you
on the treadmill.

Where You’re Working

On the tradeshow floor, you’re already looking good with your signs, posters, and everybody in their brand shirts
and sweaters. But how can we provide more exposure, but be more subtle? A handy 4000 mAh wireless power bank
will keep your devices charged and your name in view. For something a bit more bold, yet still subtle, a beautiful Thule
backpack branded with your logo is sure to catch more than a few eyes.

Where You’re Meeting

Conferences mean meetings. And in a one on one meeting with a potential client, or even a potential hire, a truly
memorable gift can help make a solid connection. A custom journal allows for a personalized and decorated piece
that will properly wow your meeting.

Choosing the right jacket for spring and summer.

With the warmer weather (hopefully) here to stay, we’ve all put away our winter coats. But there are going to be some days where the sun just won’t shine in our favor. So what do you do on those days? Our friends at Trimark Sportswear have some great options for lightweight jackets!

There are a few things to consider and look for when you're choosing your jacket, mainly water resistance, breathability, and fabric content. The ultimate lightweight jacket is going to have a combination of these three things. A jacket with a water-resistant coating and a water-repellent finish will make sure you stay dry but also keep in mind horizontal vents like on the Banos Lightweight Jacket to help you stay comfortable as well. To add to your comfort, a lightweight jacket that has fabric content also helps the garment stretch for a more comfortable fit, like in the Odaray Half Zip Jacket.




After you've looked at the main features, it's time to look at the special features. We've all heard the expression "If you don't like the weather now, wait twenty minutes.", and on those days, we want options. To help with that, Trimark Sportswear has the Darien, a jacket that can fully pack into a pouch for ease of carrying. Also, the pouch can be decorated with your brand logo to help with brand awareness even when the jacket isn't being worn.


There are also jackets that include waterproof tape that run over the seams of the jacket to ensure a waterproof seal, and still others that offer an all-over reflective pattern that allows for visibility day or night.

Gone are the days of one style fit all jackets. With help from Fundy Textile and Design, you can choose the jacket that fits your needs!

Choosing clothing your employees want to wear.

There are few things in this world better than free swag.

There are also few things worse in this world than bad free swag...

When you decide to take the plunge and buy branded merchandise for your staff, do the right thing and choose something they will love and enjoy wearing.

First things first. Who is going to be wearing this clothing? Different jobs have different functions, and what works for your salespeople may not work for the team in the warehouse. Once you know who is wearing the clothing, and what their job function is we can start looking at options.

After the clothing is chosen, it’s time to look at branding. Try thinking beyond the normal “Logo on the left chest” option and see what else is available. Our team of experts can guide you through other opportunities to help brand your company.

The best work swag and clothing are the ones you can wear outside of work. Choose options that will allow your staff to consider grabbing their branded shirt when they head out for a casual dinner and drink with friends.

While uniforms and branded clothing is common, your options don’t have to be. Reach out to Fundy Textile and Design and let us know what you need, and we can help you find something that works and helps you stand out from the crowd.
