TruFru: Launching and Influencing in Style and Good Taste

To celebrate its launch with one of the nation’s largest retail chains, TruFru used our 10” x 10” x 4” custom packaging to send a very special gift to its top brand ambassadors. It was important for the company to align its influencers on a cohesive marketing message—the deliciousness of its product, big news, and the fresh feel of its branding. In collaboration with a distributor partner and TruFru, we fully customized these gift boxes and their contents for a 100% branded experience.

How did TruFru do that exactly? It sent out 4 healthy and scrumptious Hyper-Chilled Grab & Go Packs in a custom box with our 12 oz. Thermos® Double Wall Stainless Steel Food Jar.

These jars keep contents cold for hours and can be reused and enjoyed year after year. TruFru’s custom gift encouraged its ambassadors to enjoy their treat in the moment and beyond—going green and yummy all at the same time. We think that was pretty cool, and they did too.

Thermos® double-wall stainless steel tumblers with straws. So, when the drivers pulled up to the Starbucks drive-through to refill their reusable tumblers with a delicious frappuccino and whipped keys out of their pocket to start their new whip they never came up empty-handed. It’s a brand experience only personalization on this level can provide.

Eye Strain? Not in This House.

Has your screen time gone up by 300% the past couple weeks? Us too.

Working from home, Netflix binging, and resurrecting your FarmVille carrots can take a toll on your eyes. Many of us are experiencing increased headaches, trouble sleeping, red and itchy eyes, or general tiredness, on top of everything else. What to do, what to do?

Try our blue-light blocking glasses! SnugZ has two fashion-forward unisex styles, the TFINLEY and TQUINN, both of which are handcrafted with anti-blue light technology and 100% UVA/UVB protection. It’s the ultimate work-from-home warrior accessory.

SnugZ has worked diligently to source retail-quality glasses that are sure to make a promo-forward statement. These cuties have scratch resistant lenses and anti-glare coating. Both the frame and the lens are Grade AAA Polycarbonate with Maximum Optical Clarity and block approximately 32% of blue light. Plus, they’re hecka stylish too.

Why do Blue Light Blockers Matter?

Optometrists all agree that blue light puts a lot of strain on your eyes. Simply put, our eyes aren’t equipped to filter blue light as well as we filter other types of light that occur naturally (such as outdoor sunlight or UV rays).

In this age of technology, we’ve rapidly advanced our exposure to blue light on a daily basis. One source stated that “when you’re looking at computer screens and other digital devices that emit significant amounts of blue light, this unfocused visual “noise” reduces contrast and can contribute to digital eye strain.”

All in all, looking at our computers, tablets, TVs, phones, and other digital displays have a not-so-hot effect on the health of our eyes.

Do your peepers a favor and get some blue light blocking technology. It’s the perfect gift for employees and bosses alike. Bonus points if it enhances your hipster vibe.

The Origination of Gift Giving and Why it’s Still Important Today

Humans giving one another gifts is one of the oldest if not, the oldest, running traditions that has been passed from culture to culture and down generation to generation for thousands of years. In fact, it goes back as far as man can remember. By nature people are social creatures that enjoy being in each other’s company and convey our feelings through the giving of gifts. When you give someone a gift it can be an expression of love, acknowledging a job well done or a simple thank you that shows gratitude for a friend. To better understand the origination of gift giving and why it’s still important today, we must travel back in time where this unique form of expression began.

“The best things to do with the best things in life is to Give them away.” – Ambrose Bierce

Where did it begin?

Nobody is certain, but it is suspected that gift giving originated in primitive cavemen culture. Leaders of tribes or clans would recognize upstanding individuals who took part in the success of a great achievement by entrusting them with a gift. Back then this was seen as a status symbol. Natural yet unique objects were given such as rare stones, teeth from a triumphant kill or special wood and bark from a tree. Tools soon came into the picture and allowed for more elaborate gifts to be crafted like necklaces and other wearables.

In the Egyptian era, pharaohs received a majority of the gifts and built immense pyramids to store their riches for the afterlife.

Good luck tokens were used by the Roman’s to show allegiance and presents to carry favors. This later influenced all of Western civilization and “tokens” are still used today.

During the Medieval age gifts were given to the king to gain favors or to show dedication in times of war. Upon formal engagement to be married personal gifts would be given as dowries in the form of coins, precious metals and even herds of cows or sheep.

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we Give.” – Winston Churchill

Why is it still important?

There’s an old saying that goes like this: “it is far better to give than to receive.” Every day gifts are given to partners, family members, co-workers and friends. Gift giving is the universal way to celebrate holidays, milestones, anniversaries, birthdays and more. Why is it so rewarding for both the giver and receiver? Simple. It allows people to connect. It gives us a sense of satisfaction to share in that with someone special.

Substantial amounts of research has been conducted over the years into the feelings of well being that occur when we give gifts. According to Northwestern Medicine and science, “the act of giving is physically, mentally and emotionally beneficial.” Here’s a few reasons (not that you need one) to give a gift to someone you care about today:

Makes you feel happy
Gain a sense of purpose and improve your state of mind
Create a social connection
When you give it makes other want to do the same

You’re invited to explore our complete 2018 Gift Collection which includes over 30 new products and gift ideas for all occasions and any budget. Happy giving!

Character Traits: Variations in Natural Leather

NO TWO HIDES ARE ALIKE

With every order, the Traverse craftsman starts with the raw ingredients – a piece of leather and a brand logo.

But instead of working with detailed blueprints, the master crafts his work one stitch and cut at a time. Just enough

structure to provide a template while still leaving room for improvisation and creativity. The result is not only

the longest lasting promotion you’ve ever seen, but one which elicits a visceral response above and beyond mere function.

Traverse has emerged as more than a great promotional product – it’s an emotional charge to the senses.

CHARACTER TRAITS

Variations that are found in natural leather make for a truly unique promotional product. Traverse leather goods elicit a

response each time they are shared and used. It’s a piece that will be kept and integrated into your life for years to come.

Learn more about each leather characteristic below.

[half]

[/half]

[half end=”true”]

WRINKLES

When an extra thick piece of leather is bent back on itself naturally, it adds character that creates dimension. It’s true what they say, a wrinkle merely indicates where a smile has been.

[/half]

[half]

SCARS

These are heralded events in the lives of our cows and bulls – a tussle with the tough mesquite bushes, a battle, a run through the barbed wire fence. Typically these will surface as long thin black lines. The appropriate response is a nod of respect for a fight well fought.

[/half]

[half end=”true”]

[half]

[/half]

[half end=”true”]

STRETCH MARKS

These serve as an indication of life. Stretch marks occur with extremely fast growth or living large and in charge. Either way it means this animal was at the top of the metaphorical food chain. Share the glory and the gluttony.

[/half]

[half]

CALLOUSES

And you thought the raised teats on a Longhorn were just for good looks? Callouses provide a great guard that limits scrapes and cuts as the cow walks through fields of prickly cacti. Callouses are the result of these life patterns, rubbing that itchy spot with your horn or sleeping on your side. See? Habits do make a difference. They will appear as small, circular, smooth markings.

[/half]

[half end=”true”]

[half]

[/half]

[half end=”true”]

INSECT BITES

These are visible signs that we’re not the only ones who battle tiny jaws, stingers and suckers. They may appear as tiny black or off-colored spots. Stand in stoic appreciation of the creature who was unable to slap a mosquito with its hoof.

[/half]

[half]

VEINS

One of the key marking of a well marbled leather hide are veins. Note to be confused with a blood pumping body builder caught in a Vesuvius moment. Hmmm…Vesuvius Veins. It sounds like an iconic rock band or a really nice piece of leather.

Traverse: Fueld Films Story

We wanted to tell their story. See first hand the power of promo products on set with Fueld Films.

“It’s kind of odd, but we don’t do any advertising. The only kind of marketing we do is promotional products. That’s it.”

Don’t just live life, Traverse it.

With every order, the Traverse craftsman starts with the raw ingredients. A piece of leather and a brand logo. But instead of working with detailed blueprints, the master is able to craft his work one stitch and cut at a time. Just enough structure to provide a template while still leaving room for improvisation and creativity. The result is not only the longest lasting promotion you’ve ever seen but one which will elicit a visceral response above and beyond the mere function of the leather good itself. A smart brand wants its reputation to be associated with multiple fibers of a quality experience. Traverse has emerged as more than a great promotional product – it’s an emotional charge to the senses.

A few months ago, a distributor customer of ours called seeking a unique promotional item for a client that truly embodied our craftsman mantra we not only made her a beautiful leather purse and notebook which instantly became incorporated into her brand’s daily workflow, but we also made a film to tell the story.

What we found has implications for the entire promotional industry. If you think about it, every brand has a story. And for those whose story is dedication to being the innovators, the disruptors and the leaders in their category – this is what being a craftsman is all about. This is the essence of what it means to TRAVERSE life. By taking the path that leads to the unknown is risky but it’s the only way to truly break new ground. Brands who understand this inherently surround themselves with products that stand for the same thing. Traverse leather goods elicit a response each time they are shared and used. It’s a piece that will be kept and integrated into your life for years to come.

We invite you to explore our new Traverse leather line which includes journals, notebooks, wallets, accessories and more.

Don’t just live life, Traverse it.
