Slinky® Notes repeat winner as "Most Fun"

TNADMIN Adhesive Notes, Slinky®, Trade Shows , ,

There’s something about a Slinky® toy that puts a smile on people’s faces. Obviously the same is true for TradeNet’s version of the Slinky® brand, our variety being in the form of Adhesive Notes. Slinky® Adhesive Notes were for the second consecutive year voted winners of the “Most Fun” category in the popular Product Showcase at the recent ASI Show in Orlando.

Slinky ASIHelping the Slinky® Notes stand out from the scores of unique promotional products on display in the ASI showcase is a mechanical device that actually demonstrates how Slinky® Notes actually work like its namesake. The display certainly attracts attention and is routinely captured on smart phone videos. (Best if all, it directs Show attendees to TradeNet’s booth!)

TradeNet is the exclusive seller of Slinky® Adhesive Notes with alternating repositionable adhesive at the top of each note. The pads can be ordered in 50- and 100-sheet pads. (Higher per-pad sheet counts can be custom ordered.) Standard and custom shapes available. Notes are printed with four-color process on the front and spot color on the back. Click here to view our Slinky® product offerings.

By the way… Who out there remembers the song from the old Slinky® television commercials?

Presentation FolderYou asked. TradeNet delivers!

If there’s any single product missing from TradeNet’s extensive line-up of printed promotional products, a case could be made it was a presentation folder. Place emphasis on the word “was.” As of now, a folder has been added to the mix.

TradeNet is the SAAC Show Diamond

There’s a “Diamond” at the SAAC Show taking place this week (Aug. 6-7) at the Long Beach Convention Center. TradeNet stepped up to assume the lead sponsorship role at SAAC (Specialty Advertising Association of California) . The easily recognizable TradeNet logo is featured on Show signage, in the show Guide and elsewhere.

Kicking off the SAAC Show on opening day was TradeNet President Tom Mertz being one of the featured panelists for a “State of the Promotional Products Industry” discussion.   As expected Tom represented TradeNet well and shared his insight into what he felt has made TradeNet successful and sustaining in the industry.  Tom was attributed a significant portion of TradeNet’s success to the hiring of great employees over the years. It’s those employees to product TradeNet’s quality line of printed promotional materials.

The team handling the TradeNet booth at SAAC — Scott Perry, Michelle Beaver and Nowell Wisch — happily reports lots of traffic in their neighborhood. Much interest is being expressed in TradeNet’s Web-to-Print capabilities, its “new” Mail Services capabilities and overall product offerings.

Thanks for visiting TradeNet at the 2014 SAAC Show. Safe travels!
