a Blog from Apropos Promotions

Like anyone, I really hope to “check out” of work while on vacation.   I know we all have lofty dreams of this, but somehow you can never truly escape especially if you do something you love.

Recently I was vacationing in Hawaii.  I found inspiration and the true definition of a brand truly reinforced by the Mauna Kea.   Not only does their brand somewhat remind me of Apropos (orange flower), but it forced me to think about why everyone there truly wanted to dawn apparel with this little orange flower.  Many of the people at the resort actually have private residences on the property and certainly can afford to wear any brand they choose.   After pondering and watching individual, after individual pass by, I once again confirm that it isn’t just because they like the orange flower, it is what that flower represents….The Experience.   The orange flower is the service, the orange flower is the beautifully manicured grounds, the orange flower is the great time they had reconnecting with their families, etc.    So, pause and think about what your “orange flower” represents.   I know I have!  Aloha

Zodiac Watches

Watches come in a variety of sizes and colors. I have always been a fan of a nice clean and sleek silver watch. Well, that was until I saw the latest in watch styles which is all about color. Bright pinks, blues, greens and oranges are just a few of the colors appearing in your local retail stores but at high prices. For example, the Zodiacwatch at Nordstroms (by the way, a store which I love), retails at $195. But if you are interested in such watches for your company or the company you work for, well you’re in luck because the promotional world is never one to be behind the latest trends. Not only are the promotional watches stylish, but they are great for your budget as well.  The slap bracelets, from when you were a kid, have resurfaced but this time morphed into colorful slap-on watches. Apropos Promotions offers these watches for $14.76 which includes your logo. That is something that you cannot beat. They are fun and add that extra pop to any one’s wardrobe. So next time you find yourself in the market for a watch, just think how a little bit of color goes a long way.  If for nothing else, they are a great conversation starter.
