We started off the year with a BANG at the 2012 PPAI Las Vegas Expo. With over 1,000 exhibitors and 20,000 attendees, it’s an understatement to say I was a little overwhelmed at my first trade show. Luckily I had the veterans, Katie and Don,  there to help me out. Katie thought it was, “great to meet everyone and finally get the chance to put some names to faces.”

The Bloomin sales team got to stay in the luxurious Luxor hotel, and I’ll tell you we had quite the time navigating that labyrinth of a pyramid. I guess that’s what they try to do in Vegas, get you so lost in the hotel so you’ll never leave!

Our new 2012 products were well received, and our new and improved booth looked great. People were most excited about our plantable seed paper confetti packs and mini-planting kits. We are in the process of whipping up some samples of those so we can send them out to the hungry masses. The rest of the month holds two more trade shows, ASI Orlando and Toronto. We better rest up and get ready to do it all over again!

Here at Bloomin’, we love when clients show us their seed paper sprouting into wildflowers. Our latest testimonial comes from NK Promotions, a promotional products company based out of sunny Hawaii. We worked together on a PB1-Value used as a gift for people attending a memorial service. The bookmark came out beautifully, and from the looks of those sprouts the flowers will too!

Thanks again for the order NK Promotions and hope we can continue providing you and your clients with some exceptional seed paper products.

Here's the bookmark we made for them

And here it is growing!

Looking for a way to incorporate the Thanksgiving holiday into your promotional campaign? The Lil’ Bloomer Recipe Card is the perfect way to get noticed and have a lasting impression on your target market. The example below incorporates a seed paper leaf embedded with thyme, sage, and parsley seeds, all of which grow into ingredients crucial to the turkey stuffing recipe.

The Lil’ Bloomer Recipe Card is great for any holiday-themed dish or for simply promoting healthy eating habits. All of us at Bloomin’ are excited to see the new ways companies use this product to project their messages.

Happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy the stuffing!
