Potential Pelican Parts Promo Item - What Do You Think?

[Mark at Pelican Parts]

We're thinking of some new promo products to offer our customers; what do you think of golf balls from the Bird?

[Laneco]

I think alot of people would like the golf balls, but I would just lose them...

Have you thought about coasters, magnets, or socks? Like DeFeet or SockGuy socks?

Now THAT I wouldn't lose!

Make sure they are Pro V1s.

I'm shooting a golf ball match this weekend.... send 'em on! Those little white things are *small* when shooting them at 100 yards wiht a rimfire

[BeyGon]

I would buy some, I don't even care who makes them, I won't have them long enough to worry. They will end up in a lake or some poison oak, The lucky ones make 9 holes.

I need a new hat with a Pelican logo for my Doc Fluffer videos. My gay fan club has been complaining about me wearing the same old hats.

I am looking for something that will elicit a spontaneous compliment like in the original movie Yaws: " - Thats a bad hat, Harry."

Nowadays I mostly get comments from Caddy Shack: "- Looks good on you though.. ".

Golf ball looks good though..

I'd move the Pelican Parts to be on a single line away from the bird, centered on the ball so it could be used as an alignment aid.

[BlueSkyJaunte]

Cool if you're a golfer, I guess. I golf the way id10t does, though--so I just pick up bags of "range balls" at the sporting goods stores and blast away.

Not sure what the sales demographics are. Longhood parts, middle years parts and upgrades, new accessories.
Whatever, it should be subtle and complimentary.

Frankly, I like the concept of expanding the branding idea, and the logo is extremely appropo to "those-in-the-know", but some others not familiar with working long nights on vehichles might consider it too cartoonish to have on their articles.

Pelican-branded "Mechanix"-type gloves?

I don't golf so have less than no use for golf balls.

[VaSteve]

Yeah, I don't get it either. Should be somewhat related to motorsports or car fixing.

Those Jelly Belly candies in the little container are great! Sweeten's the goodie package of parts.

I don't think golf balls are the way to go, too much personal preference on brands, some guys like Pro V's, Callaways, Nike, etc. I play Noodles.

I would go more for a non-spill travel mug, an apron for cooking/ BBQ'ing, an ice scraper for our Pelicans in the colder climates, reusable grocery bags, pens, etc.

I've been in charge of having stuff made for shows, golf tournaments, events, etc. If you want to go the bags, mug, scrapers route, 4imprint is a good company to work with.

Also, I've gotten flash drives pretty cheap at Flashbay, they have some pretty hip styles.

[craigster59]

Heck, I'd even go for a magnetic old school bottle opener I could stick to my tool chest..

Mousepad

[sammyg2]

How bout mouse pads, with the pelican logo and telephone number and website?
Every time they sit down at the 'puter they are reminded they need to go to pelican parts and buy sumthin.

[sammyg2]

Jinx.

[Head416]

I think a coffe mug or bottle opener would be much better. What am I going to do with a random golf ball?

Maybe a Pelican beer cozy for when I'm stumped and need to take a step back.

A wallet, to put all the money we save shopping at Pelican parts

A usb flash drive to keep track of all the cool stuff we think of to buy at Pelican while we're at work and need to transfer to our home computer

A nice pocketknife to open those presents that arrive from Pelican

Post-it notes with the Pelican logo on evey page
