The cups are printed with the travel company’s information and the slogan, ‘For the Babysitter.’ Inside the cup is a flyer outlining the details of the promotion and a caption saying, ‘Leave the Kids at Home and Take a Romantic Vacation to Aruba!’

A major airline faced the challenge of disgruntled employees in light of the budget cuts and downsizing. A winter party was held in addition to their summer picnic where they challenged a soup cook-off between departments. The teams chose logos and colors to promote their group’s soup. Several promotional products were used, including Tranter’s deli bowls and matching colored napkins, cups, utensils and plates. The low morale was rejuvenated and winter didn’t seem so long.
