  Corporate Gift Ideas for the Tailgater

  09.28.09 | This post was written by: Haley Montgomery | Permalink | Comment?

  Let Tailgating Week begin! We’ve been gathering lots of great ideas and fine-tuning our sports fan-talk for this week’s special tailgating theme. Please stop back by every day for great promotional ideas and tips. Don’t forget that we’re culminating the week with an online Tailgate Party on our Facebook Fan Page this Friday, Oct 2. We’ll be giving away our Most Valuable Team prize to the team with the most recommendations–100 FREE 22oz cups or plastic megaphones for use in game tosses, fundraising, etc. Go fan up!

  Wow! With football season in full swing, tailgating is a popular past-time for college and even high school fans. But, even if tailgating’s not your thing, products geared toward outdoor activities can be valuable incentives as the days get cooler. Miss Jenn has found a few great promotional product ideas that would make great raffle give-aways, client “thank-you” gifts or company events. These are also great additions to your employee or sales incentive program– perfect for game or outdoor weekends. If you’re thinking ahead to client or employee Christmas gifts, add these to your holiday wish list!

  New Website Preview!

  07.13.09 | This post was written by: Haley Montgomery | Permalink | Comment?

  

  We are incredibly excited that the launch of the new duxdlux.com is only a week away. We’ve set our launch date for Monday, July 20, but I wanted to give our Quack! readers an exclusive preview. The site has been in development for a while, and we plan to continue adding more new features and portfolio pieces monthly. We hope you like the new overlapping Dux logo that’s already been featured here on the blog, in our social media profiles and in the Quick Quack ezine. True to the colorful personality of our company, we wanted to update our “look” with some bright hues. Although we will always be flamingo pink-lovers, we’ve injected our new scheme with energetic oranges and yellows. We love the vitality and innovation those colors convey–very befitting of the bright ideas we hope to impart to our clients.

  Our new home page features a rotating slideshow showing slices of some of our favorite projects from all four service areas: graphic design, website development, screen printing and promotional products. You will also see an RSS feed of the latest Quack! postings, and maybe a product special or two.

  You’ll get all the same great information about our company and tidbits of marketing expertise as you browse through the pages, but our content’s been freshened up a bit with a lot less sales-speak. A new navigation structure is organized by “who we are,” “what we do” and “our work.” We hope the larger design images accenting each page will provide great examples of the “good design” and “good ideas” we have to offer.

  One navigation feature we’ve added is our concierge page. We describe it as an “at-a-glance resource” for putting the Dux to work in achieving your marketing goals. Envisioned as a souped up site map, the concierge page offers quick links to email our staff, check out our latest specials, browse portfolio categories, access our online catalogs, fan us on Facebook and more. If you need quick information, we hope you’ll find the concierge desk helpful.

  Stay tuned next Monday for our launch announcement. We’d love to hear your feedback when you see the new duxdlux.com. If you’re on Facebook, watch your inbox & updates list for an invitation to our exclusive virtual PREVIEW PARTY on Thursday & Friday, July 16-17–complete with a behind-the-scenes link to the new site and giveaways for our favorite comment-ers. Click over and join our group or fan up. You won’t want to miss a first look at the new duxdlux.com!
