A Nuckee is the latest and greatest phone grip to stick to your smart phone, tablet or other device.
Taking a page from the Pop Sockets book, Nuckees by Tumi have taken the world of the smartphone stand to the next level.
It is easy to see that there is a huge niche for a collapsible pop out phone stand and media grip as witnessed by the popularity of the Pop Socket and the people at Promo Motive have come up with a new idea for the promotional products market. The Nuckee.
Here is great couple of Videos to explain what a Nuckee is?

We have been in the supply side of the promotional products industry since Clinton was President. During that time we have travelled to China multiple times to visit factories and attend product trade shows.
In our travels we come across a whole host of products that we are asked if they could be sold into the American and European promotional products world.
Some of the items we see are absolute home runs and we offer them on Promo Motive.
Some are massive fails.
The following are our Top 5 Fails for 2019.
Finger Cards. I personally think this is hilarious but when we offered it to our focus group of distributors there was a giant “ewwww” from the ladies in the crowd and a few chuckles from the guys. FAIL!
the worlds weirdest promotional products
Splash Guard. We actually did this one for a distributors client who is a RAMEN Noodle company. The factory samples I got originally all had the Pay Pal logo on them. Not sure what they thought Pay Pal would use them for? FAIL!
splash guard . Noodle splash guard one of the worlds weirdest promotional products.
Smile Enhancer/Wrinkle Relaxer. The factory I visited in Shenzhen promised me that everyone would be using them and that they would be big in Promo. FAIL!
weird promotional products. the top 5 for 2019
The Plopper. I showed this to a distributor who sold it to an eye glass company. I never heard anything more. FAIL!
the worlds weirdest promotional swag.
Ketchup and Mustard Gun. There are very few gun murders or handgun use in China as the society is just not of the gun culture. Also because the use of handguns in even the smallest crime in China gets an automatic death penalty. FAIL!

The world’s best custom socks for your logo. Custom socks for less!
Why are you paying so much for custom promo socks?
We have been in the factory direct business in the promotional products world for over 20 years. 2 or 3 times a year we travel to China on factory visits seeing 4 or 5 new factories each visit. In total I have probably been to 80 factories or more.
I also like socks…weird I know!
In my experience in the Promo Business some products are WAY OVERPRICED in relationship to what it costs at the factory level.
The one that has caught my eye in the last year is custom socks. Custom socks for the usual suspect suppliers are way too costly. There is no good reason for this!

I just flew in from China and boy are my arms tired!
I want to reconnect as I have been in China over the last 10 days visiting 7 different factories and attending 2 major trade shows in China. I want to let you in on what’s new and what’s happening in the world of promotional products. Or as I like to say… Welcome to China!

We go to China so you don’t have to!
Maybe you think you want to go to China to find the latest and greatest in factory direct promotional swag for your clients? However, as I come to the end of my 30th or so trip to the Middle Kingdom, I would like to reflect on what it takes to really do China properly and how tough it is doing business with a country the same size as the USA and with 6 times the population!
Aside from the problems in dealing with a population of over 100 million crammed into an area the size of Florida (the cities of Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Guangzhou), there are a huge number of oddities unique to China to deal with. On this trip, the funniest one I came across was on a taxi trip.
In China a bad YELP review can cost you your life!
I was in a taxi in Shenzhen when the driver got a phone call. He pulled to a complete stop in the middle of 10 lanes of traffic and got out of the car to talk/yell on the phone for 8 minutes. Turns out the previous customer had forgotten his jacket in the cab and was threatening to leave a bad YELP review (Chinese Yelp) and in China a bad review will put you out of business (apparently).
After 8 minutes of the driver dodging traffic and yelling at the previous customer someone ran up to the taxi (the previous customer) and retrieved the jacket. The driver then got back in and off we went. Welcome to China.
The first new idea we came across is….
The reason I go to China as often as I do is to find new factory direct promotional ideas. I do this in a number of ways.
First, I walk two huge trade shows, one in Hong Kong and one in Shenzhen. Each day I walked just under 9 miles (as witnessed by my phone app).
I also visit a bunch of factories looking for ideas that no one else has. My goal is simple: find eye-catching products that are logo-viable.
The coolest new idea I saw is a collection of toasters and waffle irons that not only have the clients logo on them but can toast the logo onto the bread. These are very, very cool!

The second coolest new idea is….
Generally speaking, we don’t do bags. I usually find them way too boring and less than innovative. In my world I see many bag examples with crappy hardware, zippers and fabrics – all designed to come in at a price point that makes it “bound to fail”.
However, this collection of backpacks was so awesome we just had to get them into the line-up. What do you think? Email me and let me know!

The Art of the Deal… Chinese style!
The Trumpster has nothing on the Chinese. In fact, negotiating with the Chinese can either lead you to go home or to work harder. The following video snippet is of my factory manager and a new supplier haggling over the price and delivery of a new item.
Cool new idea #3 is…
The Sip Flip is a collection of folding and collapsible silicone water bottles, cups and coffee mugs. I LOVE this idea as it is eco-friendly, reusable and very eye-catching.

Breakfast…the most important meal of the day, except in China!
I am sure we all can agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I love a great cup or four of coffee accompanied by a steaming bowl of oatmeal, fruit salad or perhaps a nice muffin, hot out of the oven. If this is your idea of a great way to start the day, then you are out of luck when visiting China.
China, world-renowned for great cuisine has somehow missed the boat when it comes to breakfast.
The most popular breakfast dish in China is this awful combination of chicken broth, macaroni noodles and sliced process ham. Yum… (uggh).

It was SO BAD I went to McDonalds!
The ‘western-style breakfast’ in China is so bad I actually went to McDonalds! Now you would think that a McDonalds here or a McDonalds there would all be the same wouldn’t you?
Not so fast! The following is the ‘happy go lucky McDonalds employee’ handing me my stone-cold egg McMuffin. My best advice if looking for breakfast while in China… go straight to lunch.

Cool new promo idea #4 is….
Puzzled by this? So was I… but after thinking it over, I know this could be huge.
There is a large movement in promo (and in life) to move away from digital ideas and towards more “analog” ideas. I see this where I live in the cafes that have a board game theme. In last year’s fidget spinner craze and in the trending ideas on social media that ask us all to “unplug.”
As we have a long history of doing custom shaped promos such as power banks, flash drives and others, the idea of making a custom shaped foam core puzzle in the shape of your clients product is very familiar.
Think of the idea below as a great example. (i.e.) The local Caterpillar dealer gets you to have us make one of their diggers done in a 3D puzzle complete with their logo on it. The end-user/recipient spends an hour “unplugged” making the puzzle and at the same time staring at the customers logo. Brilliant!

There is always that one weird idea that you find…
I really dig deep when I go to the shows and factories. I turn over every leaf and basket looking for new ideas to put your client’s logo on. This one was proudly displayed in the housewares section of the show. This makes me wonder what the rest of their house looks like?
I am also concerned on this one… where does the logo go?

Are you paying $2.50 or more for your stainless steel straws?
R U Nuckin Futs!
Some suppliers think they can fleece you with high prices on stainless steel straws just because they are HOT right now in both the retail and promo world.
We have seen suppliers charging $2.50 or more PLUS also charging set ups and freight… even set ups on repeat orders!
“R U NUCKIN FUTS!”
Because we have such a strong track record of breaking new products into the promotional products marketplace, Chinese factories know we deliver sales and cut us killer deals.
Promo Motive Prides Itself on offering Distributors the Best Price on Stainless Steel Drinking Straws!
This is how it works! We deal directly with the factory, not some wayward middle man or some trader located in Hong Kong or L.A. We go right to the source and cut a deal with the factory.
“Because we have such a strong track record of breaking new products into the promotional products marketplace, the factories in China know we deliver sales and cut us killer deals. It is one of our strengths!”
Some Suppliers think you are Made of Money! …Don’t pay too much for stainless steel drinking straws… they are, after all, a STAINLESS STEEL TUBE!
Promo Motive does not charge for shipping, no set ups and definitely no set ups on REPEAT orders!
FREE Shipping, FREE Set Up, FREE Virtuals and FREE Samples. We make it Easy!

Custom Promotional Socks are HOT but their prices are STINKY. Get MORE Socks for LESS!
One of the top promos these days is custom socks. But why are they so expensive? I do not think they should be!
We are always on top of the trends and it has become obvious that custom logo’d socks are very popular. However when we started to look deeply into this market we were perplexed by the cost of them from other suppliers. We asked…
“Why are Custom Socks soooo expensive? Something is Wrong!”
We figured out that you are probably paying too much!
We have 20 years experience on the supply and manufacturing side of garments, socks and more for the promotional products industry. We know what we are doing and we know the costs. After research, travel to factories in China and India and the crushing of our margins we have come to a completely clear and obvious conclusion.
“You are currently paying too much for your custom logo’d socks!”
Sublimated or Knitted – any size all the same price!
One of the weirdest things we found out about the competition was that they were charging big swings in prices between sublimated and knit socks and even greater swings in pricing on the sock sizes. Ridiculous!
In my 20 plus years of experience in factory costs, the difference between these variants is often minuscule no surprise to us the difference in prices between the variables is tiny.
“We make Sublimated and Knit socks all the same price and threw in FREE Shipping and NO Set Ups! We make it EASY!”

We believe that only using ASI or PPAI search for your business is a bad idea.
Here’s why!
We have been a supplier for 20 years and there are some secrets about ASI that most distributors don’t know. It is important to know so you can make more sales and make more money.
Here are a few key things you need to be aware of.
#1 – When you see ANY search result it is PAID to be placed there by the supplier
When using product searches on ASI or PPAI you may not be seeing the best, most popular or most innovative products at all. You are simply seeing what was paid to be seen!
Suppliers pay on average 60K a year for product placement. A few years ago I bought half of 1 day a week’s banner. It cost $1500 PER DAY!
#2 – The average age of end users is 35 while the average ASI distributor age is 57
There is a disconnect in the age gap that is most apparent if Distributors ONLY use ASI and PPAI search.
As a supplier, every day I get inquiries from Distributors looking for “something their client found online!” The end user wants something unique and unusual. They don’t always want the same thing, again… and again. You need to look elsewhere!
#3 – If you only use ASI and PPAI search, what advantage do you have over your competitor?
It may seem obvious, but if you and the Distributor down the street get the same inquiry for the same general product what advantage do you have? Isn’t it then only down to price?
In the internet age, Distributors need an advantage to beat out their biggest competitor: the end user!
If you keep presenting the same old ideas as your competitor down the street you will continue to encourage the end user (remember they are 35 and web-savvy) to buy online and NOT from you.
“It’s time to think differently!”
What do YOU think?
Does this make sense to you? Is this intriguing? Is this an idea you want to explore? Join the many hundreds of other innovative forward thinking Distributors who are looking for something different.
