Why did PinLine start a blog?

Last night, the kids were asleep, Mythbusters was over so I unfolded the laptop and checked email.  A distributor had emailed some art – probably had been used for a print job – and now they wanted some pins to recognize years of service – but they only needed about 100 total pins and wanted to create 5 levels of recognition.  This is a scenario we face all the time.  As I was writing back to this distributor with some ideas of how to accomplish this feat, it occurred to me that I must have written the same email at least 100 times in the past.   And for each of those 100 times that I’ve suggested solutions – there are probably 10X as many distributors who’ve dealt with similar scenarios and come up with their own creative solutions.   

Thus the PinLine blog was born – the goal is to share experiences and address common challenges we all face.  The blog will be written with our distributors in mind and will address the design and use of custom emblematic promotional products.  We encourage readers to share comments and experiences.  In particular we encourage you to tell us how you’ve used these products and the results your end users have achieved. 

Looking forward to the discussion
