It's mid-afternoon, I'm floundering and needing a fresh kick of caffeine. Coffee is a great way to get you back on track and energized again. The question is who has the best coffee? Please vote below or add your own favorite brand in the comment section. Dunkin' Starbucks Tim Hortons

Welcome to October. The first day of Q4 is here and now. We're heading into our busy season, a sprint to the year-end and push towards the holiday season... Complicating matters is 45,000 port workers spanning 36 different ports from Maine to Texas have just gone on strike. Economists estimate this could be a costly move, costing the economy upwards of $4.5 billion a day. I am interested in knowing if this will impact your business, please comment below.

Which one is better for the environment to use... Single-use water bottles or reusable water bottles? The answer is pretty obvious, at least you'd like to think so. Around 8-9 million metric tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. But a reusable water bottle (that is made from recycled material too) has a life span of 2-3 years. When switching to reusable water bottles, think of the good this does for Mother Earth... ...And think of how long your target audience will use your branded merchandise too! The brandor™ team was excited to provide ibex sustainable merch. How are you giving back and leveling up your branded merchandise? #ecofriendly #sustainable #recycle #savetheearth #creative #swag

Sell me this pen. What would you say? How would you do it? Jump into the pen features? Sell on your price is the best? Would you show up and throw up and talk your client's ear off? I know what I'd do, but I'd like to hear what you have to say. Note: The Pilot G-2 gel ink pen is the undisputed world's best pen. #creative #sales #marketing Pilot Pen Promotional Products

❌Some things just weren't meant to be.❌ A 'dually' on a Jeep Grand Cherokee may sound good in theory... ❌But, I'm pretty certain they weren't meant to go together.❌ How does this relate to branded merchandise? 👇🏼Easy, let me explain how.👇🏼 I know this firsthand from 20 years of working with leading companies in numerous industries. And the fact is that too many are doing things that simply weren't meant to be nor were they meant to go together. This is what I've seen and what I've heard. ❌Doing all of the work alone. ❌A closet jammed full of stale, unused swag. ❌Slapping a logo on a piece of merch styled in the 1980s. ❌Expecting business to quadruple because you ordered branded merch. ❌Having a branded merch store that no one likes or uses. ❌Waiting several months for your order delivery. ❌Ordering merch/swag online. The silver lining is brandor™ has a proven methodology & effective solution. Like and comment on this post... ...and, I'll send you our 3 point plan of how we'll level up your merch.

The United States has 11 federal holidays, while other countries have many more. For example, Cambodia has 28 public holidays, Sri Lanka has 25, and India and Kazakhstan have 21. It seems unfair, but tell me which one you enjoy most.

Building your brand requires a lot of moving parts, each simultaneously moving toward your objective in a creative and innovative way. Social media plays an important role in effectively doing that, and the rewards can be significant... but, only if you know how to play the game. My question relates to how much is too much, isn't enough, or where you should strike the balance. Please comment in the poll below on what you've found to be the best formula.

Be careful on your day off, you might get elected into office. It didn't quite happen like that... But what did happen is that I took a much-needed personal day off yesterday and visited the hallowed ground of our state capital. Agreed, it's typically not one of the first activities you think of doing. But it was extremely fun and this is what I enjoyed the most. ✅Hitting the powerful gavel ✅Enjoying the awe-inspiring architecture ✅Saying hello to Ned Lamont (but he wasn't in) ✅Thumbing through the countless records, books, & laws ✅Studying the long and storied history of our visionary leaders ✅Perusing the impressive & many inventions of our early pioneers Give it a go the next time you have a day off... it's well worth it. #connecticut #govenor #senators #houseofrepresentatives #politics #laws

It's Friday. It's poll time. And another successful week of grinding it out is in the books. Grind doesn't have to be a negative thing... Success (or the lack of it) can be defined by how you operate, behave, and navigate each day. With that, I'm interested to know when you find the golden hours of each day...a time when you find the most success in your day

The crisp sun, the placid lake, and the wispy fog rising through the air. Every day I enjoy this beautiful view during my morning commute to work. When stress in your life gets too stressy and the rat race gets too ratty... Do what I did today and slow down to smell the roses... ...Or turn to your trusty smartphone and snap a picture, like I did. #nofilters #noediting #noworries #nostress #noproblem #connecticut
