What is “Summer”?

Summer is obviously the warmest of all the seasons because it is usually associated with hot and dry weather. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition and culture. Schools and universities typically have a summer break to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days. In almost all countries, children are out of school during this time of year for summer break. Activities such as traveling to the beach and picnics occur during summer months.

For most of the students, summer means “relaxation”. To me, summer is a “family tradition”. One of my most favorite family tradition is summer. Why? Every summer without fail, my family and I explore and travel. Summer is always so exciting for me. Traveling during summer made me think that the world is still beautiful and interesting.

This year, I had another fantastic summer adventure! My family and I went to Bicol and explored it for one week. We decided to travel by car to know how long it takes to travel from our place and to enjoy the scenery. Guess what? We traveled for about 13 hours! It was my first time traveling by land in more than five hours.

Epson, digital imaging and printing solutions leader, recently introduced their first direct-to-garment printer, the SureColor SC-F2000. Epson’s entry into the textile industry is marked by a large format printer that has been wholly designed and developed using Epson’s proprietary technology -- from its newly developed PrecisionCore print head to its UltraChrome DG ink -- and even in the pretreatment liquid used in the process.

As the Asia Pacific region represents the largest and fastest growing market for textile printing, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4%, there is no doubt that small to medium businesses can benefit from the Epson SureColor SC-F2000’s revenue-generating features. Combined with high performance, low maintenance, and low running costs, the F2000 is an ideal investment for SMEs.

Online t-shirt shops, production t-shirt printers, and even corporate users will benefit from the SC-F2000, with its crack-resistant ink that is soft against the skin. Users can configure the system to suit their needs by choosing from two sets of CMYK ink for white garments or up to four white inks for color garments.

Giveaways, tokens, freebies, complimentary gifts, and all other similar stuff are there for a reason. I've been attending several events almost everyday and there will always be something to be given as a form of complimentary gift or token to all attendees. The best marketing strategy of a company or brand is to always put their company name or logo in all of these items so that people will remember where they got it which also adds to the product recall and recognition, as well as appreciation every time the recipient uses the items.

But a brand may opt to not incorporate its name and logo on their gifts and just provide their clients or friends with special gifts to make them feel really special. Anyway, a person will always remember from whom he got the gift it it was truly very useful or memorable. Thus, one cannot prevent himself from being biased or more keen on patronizing the brand who made him feel like a VIP.

Corporate Giveaways 2014, now on its 27th year, announces another run to be held on July 9-11, 2014 at the SMX Convention Center of the Mall of Asia Arena Complex in Pasay City. The show will feature once again thousands of products from the most reliable suppliers of business gifts, premiums, promotional ideas & merchandise incentives.
